  At least I got it working now. There is a big bust with some repository on kodi and it's hard to get some apps now.

  @kg14 read the forum rules.

  How they are doing it is that it's illegal and eBay cares more about getting their cut than the law.

  The design is based on coffee table book layouts

  A very original idea. I love these books. I had 'The Art of ATARI' open earlier this evening.

  This is a request for help from a suggestion made by @pjft :
  https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11704/collections-causing-lockups-white-backgrounds/16

  With the latest additions to EmulationStation to give us collections such as "Last Played", we need to be able to save the metadata when the power shuts down. I'm not sure what I need to add to the shutdown script to make it work. Right now, I've tried to add sudo killall emulationstation right before the command to power off. It doesn't seem to do anything. When I put the command in on an SSH terminal, it works. I think the problem might be because the script isn't waiting for ES to completely shutdown. It's just doing the command then going on to the next one. I tried adding wait after the killall, but all that does it make the terminal display prior to shutting down.

  Little help? :)

  Here is the current script:

  /etc/switch.sh

  #!/bin/bash #this is the GPIO pin connected to the lead on switch labeled OUT GPIOpin1=23 #this is the GPIO pin connected to the lead on switch labeled IN GPIOpin2=24 echo "$GPIOpin1" > /sys/class/gpio/export echo "in" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIOpin1/direction echo "$GPIOpin2" > /sys/class/gpio/export echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIOpin2/direction echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIOpin2/value while [ 1 = 1 ]; do power=$(cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIOpin1/value) if [ $power = 0 ]; then sleep 1 else sudo killall emulationstation wait sudo poweroff fi done

  I have created a new sub-category for the MAME Random of the Week posts - you could find them by using tags, but as there are many now I thought it deserved its own area.
