Alright.... I managed to break the software/os/config files of this distribution. And I have no clue on what exactly went wrong. Though I am happy to have discovered a limit to this. Well.... It's much more stable than the previous one.That is for sure. Now. What went wrong?
I have broken the games list XML file for all emulators, in one go.
I have broken the controller configuration, so adding new controllers is impossible and remapping existing does not work anymore.
This is after having the setup turned on, so the SD card would get extremely hot. Also, I have tried a buttload of different controllers, and swapped them numerous times, and I have used a dual-Playstation-controllerport to USB converter with only one controller attached. I finally managed to break it, during test of the converter, with only one digital-only controller (the original without thumbsticks). I have done a torture test, of uploading ROMs for 4 different systems in one go. That was a little under 3000 ROMs in one go. Then scraped them (downloading artwork and description of the games) for all four emulators in one go.
So...
Either it will break during:
- Getting too damn hot, corrupting the files or filesystem on the SD card.
- Fiddling too much with the same config files. Thus revealing that you need to install controllers only once.
- Adding too many ROMs. Either too many files, making the XML file too large or just done too much before need of restart.
- Or the problem is that it can not scrape too much in one go.
I will try a new fresh installation, and see if it will act more stable with fewer games. Or something. Or it simply just need good active cooling, even on a OrangePI-PC. Either way... I have erased the SD card and give it a fresh install again.
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
