      Hey guys..

      Theres something that bothers me a little bit
      So i wanted to double check,
      anyways my Pi froze with my the n64 emulator and i had to pull the plug to turn it off but i heard this is very bad for your sd card i havent notice anything but still it bothers me did i ruin it or does pulling the plug once not matter so much??
      I had no choice it was completely frozen..
      Now im scared to play n64 because of it heh
      It was the glide64 that did that

        @retrofreak89 you can SSH in to your pi and reboot it even when it freezes sometimes.

            @retrofreak89 really just depends. I use the raspi-ssh app where I have different buttons that call scripts like shutdown or reboot. There are all sorts of ssh client apps out there

              @retrofreak89 so i use putty to ssh in. However if you are using your samsung evo card i wouldnt worry. I got tons of card corruptions with kingston and sandisk, but not once with either of my systems i use now with my samsung cards. I have reset them tons of times.
