@classicgmr ugh. right. sorry.

tobas

@classicgmr funny, it says SafeShutdown.py installed...but it doesn't safely shut down? aand now the power button will turn it on, but won't cut power anymore.

I'm so upset right now. this sucks.

tobas

so after much thought, I've decided to copy my rom, bios, config, and splashscreen folders to a backup drive. reflash my SD with 4.4, and then plop them back on.

does that make sense? will my setup look essentially the same as it did before?

tobas

@Drakaen391 what do you think? will it look the same if I flash my SD with 4.4 and plop the roms, bios, configs, and splashscreen folders back on the SD?

Drakaen391

@tobas you would have to run the first start up...

But once you do that then put the roms and such back on...

Configurations will be changed, but that’s an easy fix

mitu

@tobas Take a backup of your image first, just in case.

tobas

@mitu @Drakaen391 definitely. I have an image backup and I'm making a backup of the 4 folders now. I did notice that the config wouldn't copy over for the most part but that's the least of my worries.

as long as the roms and menus and save games are okay. it took FOREVER to get my turbocd section just perfect. well most of my rom sections really, it's been a year or so worth of tweaking things I don't think my brain could handle it if that got nuked.

from what I can tell it'll probably take about 24 hours total to copy everything over my network, and then pop it back on over the network. I wish there was a quicker way :(

so I'm guessing once 4.4 is in place that script should install without any issues. either that or I'm gonna end up in the looney bin.

wish me luck fellas

Which script ?

tobas

@mitu the NESpi case shutdown script. that's the whole reason behind this mess.

tobas

@mitu it would be cool if there was a way to manually install it but I don't even know if that's possible

There is....

Once you do the initial start up, shutdown the pi and put the SD card back into your computer, and just copy it on the SD card....

I do that with my roms because the PSX are directly extracted from the actual disk, so its close to 16 GB of PSx games... over my network it would be 3 hours.... but with the SD plugged into the computer it is 15 minutes

mitu

@tobas That's up to the people that produced the script, ask them, maybe there's an alternative way.

Drakaen391

my guess is that something may have pulled the 4.4 retropie script and because it operates on stretch instead of jessie, it caused the error.

with the TurboCD, the image backup should have all the config files and such on it, so it would just be a matter of coping and pasting

tobas

@drakaen391 hm. interesting. but how would I know which folder the config files are in?

so when I burn the image, my sd splits into a 'boot' sector, and a'retropie' sector, so essentially, I can just drag and drop the folders into the 'retropie' part instead of over the network?

...hang on...does that also mean that there's no reason I should be copying my files from the retropie to my computer over the network to begin with?

tobas

@mitu they really haven't been much help.

https://github.com/RetroFlag/retroflag-picase

these are the files on the github. I suppose if I could just take these and pop them on the pi it would be easy, but I don't know if it's that simple

Drakaen391

@tobas yea....

So, there is a better (IMO) safe shutdown script....

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17258/modify-a-safe-shutdown-script/20

Try this one instead

tobas

@drakaen391 oh, I'm not sure what part of that is the script though :( there's so many posts and so many lines

tobas

@tobas hoo boy, yeah I don't understand a thing going on in that thread
