Error save config #21

Open snock opened 5 years ago

snock commented 5 years ago

I'm using it on rs97, everything worked fine. Trying the peace emulator could not exit press reset and now when you press start to save the configuration, the USB connection screen comes out directly and does not save anything. Any way to fix it if you have to erase everything? it is already the second one that happens to me, the solution was to format and install everything from scratch.

You probably had a file system corruption. Make sure to use a high quality sd-card and make a file system check. To solve you problem, just delete the apps/pymenu folder and install the ipk again. Your settings probably got corrupted during a crash.

PyMenu is writing more (like last played games) onto the sd card as gmenu does. Thats why its more likely to get errors when the file system fails

Thanks ... if that's the problem. When connecting it to my pc.

FAT-fs (sde3): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.

The card is a sandisk quality 64 gb, in the bittboy when there was a bad shutdown by rom or emulator blocking when starting to fsck something that the rs97 does not.

Question of looking at the games well and saving the configuration. Good job !!

Hi snock, i had the same problem, several times. I wonder if it would make sense to change to a more reliable file-system like ext4 with journaling. Or perform a cyclic "sync" of file-system with a chrono job. Since i had PyMenu running as main front-end (installed) i even had to open my RS97 several times and access the SD-card directly. BTW: I use a Sandisk 32GB class 10. I also turned off "last played games" option in PyMenu to reduce fs access. Haven'T have any problems since that change.
