PSX Gamelist 0B?
-
Hello,
Recently I tried to add a game in .RAR format to my PSX roms, and oddly I saw my scraped data was not showing.
I looked into the gamelist file for PSX and noticed it's now totally blank. Has anyone seen this before?
Doubtful there is a way to recover this file other than using an old backup to start over again.

I also found this at the time of shutdown:

This looks like a full or damaged SD card. How much free space do you have on the sdcard ?

@mitu you are always such a great help, thank you for your replies over the years here.
I ran the command df -h:

Seeing your main partition (
/) is at 99% usage, my bet is you can't create any more (larger) files as regular user. Free up some space and check again if the gamelist for psx is created when you close/restart EmulationStation. -
@mitu so I grabbed my backup SD card with a recent build and grabbed the psx gamelist.xml from there. I swapped it back out for the problem build and removed some cores I am not using. I deleted the problem gamelist.xml and replaced it with the backup. 99% of my scrapes are back and seems working now.
To anyone reading this, back up your image with a 2nd SD card, or at least copy your gamelists/roms/downloaded_images to a PC. This is really critical if you spent a ton of time perfecting your build.
I also bought a 64gb card so I can migrate and expand the space. I think over time the updates to Retropie might start consuming more space to the edge of some builds. Plus if you add a game here and there of course.
Thanks mitu for your advice to a simple issue!

I use to backup all relevant files to my smartphone.
This gives you the option to have all these files & folders ready anywhere and anytime :D
