Remove text from safe shutdown with Retroflag case
-
I am using the MegaPi case from retroflag and can't seem to remove the text upon exit. I tried adding --no-wall to code in /opt/RetroFlag/SafeShutdown.py, but not having any luck.
-
This is what i am seeing during shutdown.
-
@cnoto I don't know if you even can do that. It based on the script telling Retropie to shut down. Might be worth asking the crew at Retroflag. I also have a Mausberry circuit on another Retropie setup I have, I'll check and see if it does it as well. I don't remember as it's been a while since I've used it
I see the same on my MegaPi case and just accept it. At least I know it's getting a safe shutdown.

@cnoto I'm pretty sure there's an issue with RetroFlag's script. I would recommend using Cyperghost's script instead. It has always worked for me.
Check this post:

Just installed it. No text on shutdown. Thanks!!
-
One last thing.. It doesn't look like it saves metadata upon exit. Is that true?
-
Actually it does save saved game data upon exit. It doesn't save changes to game metadata in the game menu, but that is no big deal. Thanks again!!
-
@cnoto cool, I'll try this as well. Had a feeling it was the RetroFlag script as I don't have the issue with the Mausberry script. It's blank
Thanks!

@theretroprince Do you know cyberghost wrote a safe shutdown script for the retroflag gpi gameboy case?
-
I don't believe so, but my GPI case running a Pi0W works perfectly with the Retroflag GPI case script I used when I configured my GPI last year:
https://github.com/RetroFlag/retroflag-picase
However, the RetroFlag script that I'm using on my GPI is a year old. It looks like recent updates were made, so I can't attest to the new version's functionality. Here are the contents of the '/opt/RetroFlag/safeshutdown.py' I am currently using:

@theretroprince thanks for the reply. I have also been using the retroflag script. It works for me, but I cant figure out how to hide the shutdown text.
-
@cnoto What shutdown text are you seeing?

@cnoto If I were you, I would create a backup of your 'safeshutdown.py' and replace it with the one I provided in my pastebin link. The '439 Terminated' error leads me to believe that RetroFlag messed up all of their scripts in the last year.
-
@theretroprince Your script worked like a charm. No shutdown text. Many many thanks.
The only edit I would make for anyone playing along at home would be the file name to edit for me was:
/opt/RetroFlag/SafeShutdown.py (capitol S and S).

@cnoto Cool! Glad it worked for you. It's always nice when you can keep plugging away at those pesky little buggers.
