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

                  -sh: /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-part.sh: No such file or directory

                  ..
                  cd recalbox
                  cd scripts
                  ls-a -a

                        @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
                        internal=/dev/mmcblk0p8
                        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 I'm not sure you'll get support for the outdated beta version.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. 😢

                                        i notice i had the same issue once but on pcx64, on the options for the share drive, just change it once to something ealse, reboot, then change it once again to internal and reboot, problem gone.

                                          Fixed with "fsck /dev/mmcblk0p2".

                                          Change mmcblk0p2 to your actual userdata partition. And use it with care... Some data may be lost.
