Syncthing Overview

Before You Begin

This guide will will try to explain things as clearly as possible, but make some assumptions about your environment and your familiarity with the operating system. Most notably, that you are familiar with the basic operations of your PC (how to download files, how to extract them, etc.). This guide will cover the very basics you need to get up and running - there are substantial advanced options (file versioning, encryption, receive only, etc.) that are not covered.

<aside> 🚨

WARNING: These guides assume that you already have the necessary files (firmware, keys, games, etc.) to run the emulator. Neither the Eden Team nor Their Discord will assist you in obtaining these files. Asking for these files on the Discord may result in a ban from the server without support or chance to appeal.

Pre-Requisites

• Read the Syncthing General Guide.
• Eden already installed, configured, and functioning.
• Ability to allow a program to communicate through the firewall in Windows.
• Ability to extract archive (.zip/.7z/.rar) files.

Steps

<aside> 🚨

Downloading and Installing Syncthing

1. Download Syncthing Tray.

   1. While it is available as a command line interface, for most people I would recommend Syncthing Tray on Windows. For most people here, you would download the 64-bit (Intel/AMD) version.

2. Open the downloaded archive and extract the syncthingtray.exe to wherever you want to store the executable.
