RetroNAS is a shell-based installer and management tool that turns a Raspberry Pi, old computer, or VM into network-attached storage for retro computers and consoles. It configures legacy file-sharing protocols like Samba and NFS so vintage systems (Amiga, MS-DOS, Windows 9x/XP, MiSTer FPGA, PS2, and more) can access shared storage.
Use cases
- set up network storage for retro computers and consoles
- turn a Raspberry Pi into a NAS for vintage machines
- share game files with MiSTer FPGA over the network
- serve files to old Windows 95/98/XP machines over SMB
- use NFS or Samba with retro systems like Amiga and PS2
- centralize retro game ROMs on a home network
When to choose
- you want a ready-made, scriptable setup for legacy file-sharing protocols on a Pi or old PC
- you need to serve files to vintage systems that only speak old SMB/NFS versions
- you want a single tool to configure storage for many retro platforms at once
When to avoid
- you need a modern, general-purpose NAS OS with a web UI like TrueNAS or OpenMediaVault
- your target devices only support modern protocols and standard NAS software suffices
- you need enterprise-grade security, since legacy protocols are inherently insecure
