Metadata not saving with nespi case

[meleu]

Oh... sorry, I didn't read your OP before :)

@vaca2097 said in Metadata not saving with nespi case:

Will it show a message during shutdown that I should be seeing?

Nop.

If I can't get it to work am I risking corruption using shutdown -h now as part of th soft shutdown script?

No data corruption when using shutdown -h. Not at all.

Also, if you used my method correctly even a shutdown -h would save ES metadata.

Please, connect to your pi via SSH. Then perform the commands below and copy'n'paste the output of eache one to a text file. And finally paste the file's content on dumptext.com and post the link here.

ls -l /etc/killes.sh
cat /etc/systemd/system/killes.service
sudo systemctl enable killes

Does this only happen for freshly scraped roms? like do a regular quit, shutdown after scraping then can you use the power down button scripted?

Or does that delete everthing that was saved on the safe shutdown?

@meleu sorry for the delay, family stuff. Copied the commands exactly as you have them and this is what I have. http://dumptext.com/52QE0b16#

@vaca2097 one of those commands were wrong (my fault). Can you try it and post again?

the command I'm interested now is:

cat /etc/systemd/system/killes.service

[Vaca2097]

@meleu ah gotcha. Here you go. http://dumptext.com/mR3shHLX

[Vaca2097]

@meleu any ideas on what I can do?

[meleu]

@vaca2097 please, do the following:

1. boot up your RetroPie and wait for EmulationStation
2. add some games to your Favorites
3. go to another computer and connect to your pi via SSH
4. perform this command: bash -x /etc/killes.sh 2> debug.txt (it will kill your EmulationStation)
5. that command generates a the file debug.txt, grab this file and paste its content in dumptext.com
6. restart your pi (sudo shutdown -r now) and check if your Favorites were saved.

post here the dumptext link with that debug file.

Okay this is what I found http://dumptext.com/NGD4cO7u

[Vaca2097]

@meleu was that the right file? I can't really make any sense of it.

Does anyone have any further suggestions before I give up on this?
