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 ah I see. not sure how I can copy and paste those from inside the pi however

cyperghost

@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.

tobas

@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

@tobas it varies... the location I mentioned was the default location

Drakaen391

@cyperghost please do...

cyperghost

@drakaen391 I tag you in new post, too

tobas

@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

@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

tobas

@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.

Glad it worked

tobas

@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.

Drakaen391

@tobas well, 4.4 uses a completely different version of Raspbian as Jessie is obsolete now...

I don’t know much of attract mode, but the categories should be easy to redo from the emulation Station Menu

mitu

@tobas If your setup included attract mode, then you can install it from the experimental packages section of the RetroPie setup script. How did you set-up Attact mode in the original image ?

tobas

@mitu I used a pre-built image. It came with attract mode and most systems already prepped. I just built off that.

I wish I could just update to 4.4 from that one

tobas

@drakaen391 so I decided to try the little upgrade script from above, and it appears to be updating, at least things are downloading and unpacking,

assuming that it's working as it should, that should upgrade retropie to 4.4?

remember this from 4 days ago? https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first point 5 had all the answers then and still does now. You could have saved yourself hours. You have been linked to it multiple times.

tobas

@rbaker fair enough, but I'm not using a pre-built image anymore. if you can read my posts, you'll see that I've installed the official 4.4 image.

I started with a pre-built image.

tobas

@rbaker "point 5 had all the answers"

I'm sorry I missed that point in my desperation to get things working right but you don't have to be a dick about it.

You agreed to read it when you registered. Ignoring it wastes time and prevents meaningful help. You were asked for the info when you registered. You were asked three times more above and a fourth by me in attempt to learn about your setup and don't forget you have already been warned about abusive language. Only on the fifth time of pointing you to this do you read it. Then you choose to abuse. Not great, but as ever, good luck.
