Merging Drives for Large Collections
RomVault does not currently have the ability to assign multiple ROM paths to a single DAT. For example, you cannot assign X:\PS2 and Y:\PS2 to your PlayStation 2 DAT at the same time. This may be problematic if you use multiple drives and a particular collection cannot fit on a single physical drive. However, you can use other applications to merge multiple drives or paths together so they appear consolidated and can be accessed as if it were a single drive.
| ⓘ NOTE: This guide should not be necessary if you use an array such as UnRAID or TrueNAS, but it may be helpful if you have several drives and do not use an array. The example below outlines one merging solution for Windows using WinFsp and rclone. There are many solutions available, but this solution should be suitable for simple use cases and allows flexibility so you do not need to change the format of any of your existing drives. |
Setup WinFsp
First, you will need to download and install WinFsp which is used for mounting virtual filesystems.
- Go to the WinFsp site
- Download the latest version for your operating system. For this example we will use the standard WinFsp Installer.
- Open the WinFsp installer by double clicking on the
.msifile that was downloaded. If prompted with a security warning, choose the “Run” option. - Install the application by following the prompts. The default settings should be sufficient.
Setup rclone
