        @T33Hud As expected, you share is in RAM :
        tmpfs on /recalbox/share type tmpfs

        Can you cat /boot/recalbox-boot.ini (i'm not sure about the filename though)

                    @T33Hud Can you run /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-part.sh "share_internal" and confirm it replies /dev/mmcblk0p8 ?

                            @Substring Not sure how you let me down? It's amazing to have help with this!

                            Here are my results:

                            cat /boot/recalbox-boot.conf

                            sharedevice=INTERNAL

                            /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-mount.sh "ext4" 1 "/dev/mmcblk0p8" /recalbox/share
                            mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p8 on /recalbox/share failed: Invalid argument

                                  well, looks like i'd rather connect to your recalbox and check this by myself. But can't do that before Monday 8pm CET. We'd use teamviewer and you'd allow me having fun by SSH. What do you think ? unless you know how to open a port on your router to the recalbox SSH

                                      @hobbitlap Hi,

                                      First of all why don't you install the latest stable version ? I'm not sure you'll get support for the outdated beta version.

                                        I'm running into the same exact problem.
                                        with the last release (4.1.0).
                                        each time i restart my Pi, all settings are back to default (except for the overscan param) and all the roms vanish from the storage.
                                        Plus when i add roms, they don't appear in the liste, and there is no more "update game liste" button available anywhere in the menu. 😢
