why not create an USB installer stick and install OpenELEC.tv to another stick? if you have an Linux system you can also create an USB stick to start OpenELEC.tv directly (a bit more work)

see:

if you have problems, let me know this.

openelec.tv Wrote:can you login via ssh (user=root/password=openelec) and try:
Code:
mount
to see if the share is mounted, if not try to mount manually with:
Code:
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.xxx/software/games/roms/mame /storage/emulators/mame/roms/ -o username=xbmc,password=xxxxxx

to see if there is an error

Whenever I try to mount "mount -t cifs //192.168.1.xxx/software/games/roms/mame /storage/emulators/mame/roms/ -o username=xbmc,password=[password]" I get the error "[address] is not a valid block device"

But when I try to mount "mount -t cifs //192.168.1.xxx/software /storage/emulators/mame/roms/ -o username=xbmc,password=[password]" it works just fine and mounts

ok...
then try to use the second option and use another dir for the mountpoint (example /storage/mount), if you have ssh access start mame, login via ssh, and copy /storage/.xbmc/addons/addon.emulators.mame/image/mame.ini to /storage/.config

Code:
cp /storage/.xbmc/addons/addon.emulators.mame/image/mame.ini /storage/.config

then edit mame.ini and setup the rompath (/storage/mount/games/roms/mame)

let me know if this works

thanks

After I copied it back into the mame folder I did not need to reboot. It worked fine without having to.

Good to see a small Linux distro to boot only XBMC Smile

However, you need some help on your site? Have some above average experience with Joomla! which I could share.
