I have also experienced this. I'll f4 to exit or exit from the menu and it will take me back to a blank black screen. If i type "emulationstation" and enter it will bring me back to emulationstation so the welcome screen is still there just not visible for whatever reason. If I restart and f4 again sometimes it will work sometimes it wont. It is very intermittent.

Im currently on a rpi3 , 4.2.8, built from image from this site.

I would be curious did it swap the first time? I have never tried to change it back to the default after swapping. I wonder if you would need to run configure input again after resetting to defaults.

@dudleydes - Have you tried the AdvMAME forums. It might be a long shot but it can't hurt to see if anyone has some suggestions. It sounds like AdvMAME is not doing some cleanup upon exit possibly? AdvMAME Support Forums

I recently bumped up to 3.5 and find it does has some issues that 1.4 doesn't have. I keep both loaded until 3.5 does some "optimizations".

@s1naloa10 said in Retropie shutdown:

how can i safely shutdown retropie to avoid corrupting my sd card?

The most famous/traditional/naive method is doing what @edmaul69 suggested:
press start, scroll down to quit, and then choose shutdown system.

Isn't it enough for you? In the OP you don't say anything about butons and GPIO.

@AndersHP
AFAIK deleting ROM from ES just delete the file, it doesn't clean gamelist.xml or downloaded images.
Maybe a feature request could be a good idea ?

@meleu made a great tool to clean all this afterward :

Nice, msu1 audio works on this one.

@cerealspiller you could try to manually do it in /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg

Feel free to delete .. figured it out on my own. The roms in question were in folders. Took them out of the folder and all is good.

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. some even got shut down.

@edmaul69 Well, hello. So, No-Intro is a group. I Googled ‘Team No-Intro,’ which led me to their website, and that helped clarify the meaning of the term. Thanks, edmaul69!

I like how it shows everything. Really want to see what the game is like if i have no idea what it is.

@oldversions it's a request for help so it goes in help and support. I'll move it.

You can install whatever parts of retropie you like https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/
