Metadata not saving with nespi case

Vaca2097

@meleu I have gone through making the shutdown script several times and for the life of me it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Will it show a message during shutdown that I should be seeing? If I can't get it to work am I risking corruption using shutdown -h now as part of th soft shutdown script?

Oh... sorry, I didn't read your OP before :)

@vaca2097 said in Metadata not saving with nespi case:

Nop.

If I can't get it to work am I risking corruption using shutdown -h now as part of th soft shutdown script?

No data corruption when using shutdown -h. Not at all.

Also, if you used my method correctly even a shutdown -h would save ES metadata.

Please, connect to your pi via SSH. Then perform the commands below and copy'n'paste the output of eache one to a text file. And finally paste the file's content on dumptext.com and post the link here.

ls -l /etc/killes.sh
cat /etc/systemd/system/killes.service
sudo systemctl enable killes

Does this only happen for freshly scraped roms? like do a regular quit, shutdown after scraping then can you use the power down button scripted?

Or does that delete everthing that was saved on the safe shutdown?

@meleu sorry for the delay, family stuff. Copied the commands exactly as you have them and this is what I have. http://dumptext.com/52QE0b16#

@vaca2097 one of those commands were wrong (my fault). Can you try it and post again?

the command I'm interested now is:

cat /etc/systemd/system/killes.service

@meleu ah gotcha. Here you go. http://dumptext.com/mR3shHLX

@meleu any ideas on what I can do?

@vaca2097 please, do the following:

boot up your RetroPie and wait for EmulationStation
add some games to your Favorites
go to another computer and connect to your pi via SSH
perform this command: bash -x /etc/killes.sh 2> debug.txt (it will kill your EmulationStation)
that command generates a the file debug.txt, grab this file and paste its content in dumptext.com
restart your pi (sudo shutdown -r now) and check if your Favorites were saved.

post here the dumptext link with that debug file.

Okay this is what I found http://dumptext.com/NGD4cO7u

@meleu was that the right file? I can't really make any sense of it.

Does anyone have any further suggestions before I give up on this?
