      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

        @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?

          @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

            @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

                  I'll try to redo it in a way to copy and paste

                  Regarding backup, the fastest way is always direct.

                  The config files will be located in /opt/retropie/configs

                  If you want to save your game lists, they are in /home/.emulationstation (its a hidden file)

                      I don't think favorites, but all the scrapes will be saved

                      here is the shutdown script

                      follow these steps in order top to bottom
                      First we need to create a script

                      sudo nano /etc/killes.sh
                      

                      then copy and paste the following script

                      #!/bin/bash
                      
                      ESPID="$(pgrep -f "/opt/retropie/supplementary/.*/emulationstation([^.]|$)")"
                      if [ -n "$ESPID" ]; then
                      touch /tmp/es-shutdown && chown pi:pi /tmp/es-shutdown
                      kill "$ESPID"
                      while s=$(ps -p "$ESPID" -o s=) && [ "$s" ] && [ "$s" != 'Z' ]; do
                      sleep 1
                      done
                      fi
                      
                      sleep 1
                      

                      Next press ctrl-x and save it

                      Next Make it exacutable

                      chmod a+x /etc/killes.sh
                      

                      next we will create the service script

                      sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/killes.service
                      

                      copy and paste the following

                      [Unit]
                      Description=Kill EmulationStation
                      After=autologin@tty1.service
                      
                      [Service]
                      Type=oneshot
                      RemainAfterExit=true
                      ExecStop=/etc/killes.sh
                      
                      [Install]
                      WantedBy=multi-user.target
                      

                      Now to wrap it all up and enable it

                      sudo systemctl enable killes

                          @drakaen391 This script is based on the ES-shutdown version 1.2
                          It won't work if there is an emulator currently running. I think I will repost a better script basis.

                            @drakaen391 scrapes meaning snaps, boxart etc? those are in the roms folders I thought? at least that's where they are on my SD

                                    @drakaen391 okay just checked (I'm monitoring the transfer from work XD) so the config folder holds the overall emulator/retroarch configs, and the individual emulator config files. no scrapes thank god.

                                    message popped up that many files in that folder couldnt be copied without administrative permission, which I should have? but I'll deal with that folder last I guess, it's small so transferring it is fast if I can figure out how.

                                      @tobas so the transfer looks like it got everything, config files included. I hope I can just drag and drop them back onto the card when I burn 4.4

                                        @drakaen391 update for those interested,

                                        4.4 worked perfectly. The Nespi downloaded the script and installed correctly. Now I'm putting back the contents of my backed up folders onto the freshly flashed SD over my network.

                                        Hopefully this will result in an image exactly like I had with a shiny new 4.4 software package underneath.

                                            @drakaen391 welp. yes. the new flashed card worked perfectly. the roms and bios etc transferred without issue. but now I don't have attract mode anymore, my categories are all screwed up etc. as in pretty much they don't exist anymore.

                                            I don't know what to do anymore :( I wish I could just get the script to install properly on my original image.

                                            or at least if I could get retropie updated to 4.4 on it maybe it would install properly.
