![]() ![]() This new place has wiring to each room and can mostly get 2.5 Gb speeds to clients as well as have 10 Gb cards on the Synology's. My main PC and the NAS have full sets of each because I had too much time invested to lose my setup (i.e., have a backup.Synology has a file sync tool to do this as well). So, I just did local installs inclusive of any games/ROMs. ![]() I did this originally since the place we were living in at the time was all wireless to the clients and I just couldn't get good consistent speed to the NAS (upstairs.far side of house). For setups 1 and 2, rarely change them so those are pretty static and size wise the installs are small since not the whole rom set. I then use FreeFileSync to sync the 3 different setups from the master: 1) kids - stripped down simple games 2)TV Room - subset of games good to play on large screen 3) main PC with full setup. However, I haven't been running games off the Synology and use it strictly as a "master file backup". For me, when first tried it, the lag was noticeable on a wireless setup (several years ago generation wise on wireless). There are a couple threads here with people's experience and for some it isn't a big deal with lag. So, a key piece is what your network speed is as well as what type of emulation you are wanting to do. Something like FreeFileSync works well to sync media to the other local installs.Īlso, for CD based emulation (or MAME CHDs), those files are much larger so if you have slow network or doing wireless that can lag on retrieving parts and pieces. One thing to think about is how to synchronize the local LB setups as well as emulators on the local setups (if at all). If you run LB locally then won't have issues there. The bottleneck will be images and media caching if that is not done locally. ![]() The time needed to pull a relatively small size ROM file for cart based systems isn't a big issue and the lag would be at the beginning of the game so once running wouldn't see any difference. Having the ROMs/Images on NAS is usually not an issue, particularly anything non-CD based. ![]()
