How to safely exit a game
-
Hello guys. I have bought a new memory card for my metal arcade box, if you can’t exit out of a game, is it safe to just turn the thing off then on again. I messed up my previous memory card somehow, so I am very wary. None of the buttons work to get me back to the emulators. Any tips?

@wolfie1968 Unsafe shutdowns can result in data corruption, In my experience I had a few sd cards go bad on me even though Ive been careful about handling them and doing safe shutdowns. so it can be the quality of the sd cards you are using. Which type of sd card are you using? I tend to use Samsung's Evo Select cards.
If you do your research on file systems some of them are documented to be more resilient to data loss/ data corruption.
