Retroarch menu - pushing "Y" it start a file scanning...
-
I was playng ff9 on my raspberry with retropie. I attempt to switch by disk 2 to disk 3 into the retroarch menu, but i go wrong on my gamePad and a pushed the wrong button (Y) just for an error, and the retroarch started a very long scanning of my disk3.img file putting the cpu to 100% . After some minutes I try to stop this process holding select+start, but pcsx rearmed start to reset and restart the disk scan at loop, and the cpu's green light was ever on...
I forced powerOFF the sistem sudenly putting out the electric source of my raspyPie....
After that i backupped my ff9 savegames, deleted the ff9 game folder by my sd card, and restored again the ff9 folder into the sd card by pc via filezilla. Now all it seems to work good, the ff9 game too, bu i ask you people: what precisely was my retropie doing when i pushed Y button and it started to make some kind of scanning ? Can i have made some damage (physicall hardware or sw data corruption maybe) putting out the power source off my raspyPie during this scan ? 😅 -
UPDATE: all seems to work good... ff9 and other games too...
Aniway anybody can answer me please ? i am worryed about it... and i am curious to know wich kind of file scanning it start pushing "Y" into the retroarch menu. -

@mitu
-> ok tnx... so if i have correctly understood, it scan the GameDiskFile.img into the game folder were you are, in order to check wich is the correct core bios compatibilities ?
-> it seems to be not creating a playlist, it was scanning my FF9.Disk3.img file, putting the cpu at 100% ... are you shure it was doing that playlist scanning you talk about ?
-> and it is normal that it take a lot of time and cpu resources, and that the scanning process can not be stopped (if you try to do it pcsx rearmed start to crash and reboot at loop, putting cpu at 100% ) ??
-> and Can i have made some damage (physicall hardware or sw data corruption maybe) putting out the power source off my raspyPie during this scan ? 😅
(aniway i deleted the game folder, and than i restored the game folder by my pc into the raspyPie' SD via FileZilla, and all work good ) .
-> my retropie was really good setted up... maybe can i have automatically changed some settings stopping the scann and closing the power forcedly ?
