Are you sure you wait enough time for shutdown before using the power switch ?
Could you post a link to your PSU model ?
Did you modify any config before shutdown ?
Do you have powersaving outlet that could cut power before complete shutdown ?
Does just a reboot work (without switching off power) ?
Thank you for your reply, yes i have switched power supplies and the green light went off before i switched it off. I did not replace the sd card however as it is the only one i have and i will not be getting one soon.
What i plan to do today is to redownload retropie and redo all the whole process again. If it fails, i will safely presume that it is my sd cards fault.
@Chillimonster you could use the 5v on the usb because it kills when you run a shutdown. Even if it is in "standby" and the power isnt fully cut off. Use the usb ground and 5v to power the relay and so when it gets power it flips the relay to turn on your light
As described at https://github.com/petrockblog/SNESDev-RPi#button-polling a shutdown command is issued when the button on the GPIO adapter is pressed five times. Maybe that signal is somehow inserted into the RPi when you connect your controller(s).
The dmesgcommand might give you some more insights into what the shutdown is causing.
Hello, so it is definitely so that the metadata is not saved, if one it off via the power button. Does anyone have experience in whether or not in the Mausberry script something can be changed, that it is properly closed and then the Pi is down?
