random shutdowns and safe shutdown not working (Megapi Case)
-
Hello everyone!
I recently set up my Recalbox (Raspberry Pi 3B) wich I didn't use for about 3 years, and installed the newest version 6.1.1
Also I bought the Megapi-Case from Retroflag.
At first everything ran well, although I never got the safe shutdown and the reset to work (using the PIN356ONOFFRESET option). Every time I press the reset button, the system just hard resets, instead of resetting the current game.
The safe shutdown option is turned on inside the case.Also after some time my Recalbox started to randomly shutdown itself (a proper shutdown with the warning "don't turn off system") I can't see any pattern. Sometimes it happens after 2 or 3 Minutes, sometimes it takes longer. It doesn't matter if I am ingame or in the menu.
I installed everything correctly and I don't know what to do. I just want to finally play my retro games again, without having to worry how long it will be ubtil I get interruptedIt would be great if anybody could help me!
Edit: I would upload my recalbox.conf but I don't know how

This is what my recalbox.conf looks like:
