It sounds like your Raspberry Pi might not be completing the shutdown process correctly, possibly due to a service hanging or an issue with the SD card. You could try checking the system logs using journalctl -b -1 to see if any errors appear from the previous shutdown. Also, a fresh install on a different SD card might help rule out corruption issues.

Alright, thank you for your input. I thought I might have to reset it, but wanted to be sure in case something like this happens in the future. I will definitely set it up to store roms externally.

Thank you again.
