to retry, use: --limit @/opt/retronas/ansible/install_ps3netsrv.retry

PLAY RECAP *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=3 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1

Doesn't seem to think the sources exist.
So far I've:
-run as root
-manually created the directories
-edited the playbook to use the full path /data/retronas/roms/
all to no avail.

I've also checked out the install_ps3netsrv.retry file and it seems to be empty save for one line:
localhost
I've also tried updating permissions through the retronas script, with no success.

Any help would be appreciated! And if this is a dumb fix please forgive me :P

Same issue. Error I'm getting references the build of the tool:
