For JamRom2 - getting Jzintv up and running

jamrom2

Hit me with a PM on AA.

@jamrom2 Yes. Once sudo is removed from a root folder... it's done.

You basically open the folder to everything. Which looses control of sudo. Without sudo, you have no way to set permissions.

It's possible to boot into root and try to fix it, but the time and effort is usually not worth it with how quick you can get another build up and running.

So, while I talk to you on AA for one solution... the other can be that you copy everything in the BIOS, ROMS, theme, and .emulationstation folder over and start the process of rebuilding.

There are other files as well... but that's normally where it all starts.

I can check my old build. If it has the music player and Streets of Rage, then all it will be missing is the new games and systems I set up and all I will need to do is dump the missing ROMS, images and update game lists, emulators.cfg and whatever file stores the retroarch settings

according to some googling, I can use pkexec in place of sudo with chmod to fix the folder. What do you think?
