      aargh! I've just copied all my roms across and got kodi set up perfectly 😞 Is there any way to fix this without starting over? I can get to the NOOBS recovery screen

        that's why i always talking about backups and smb-shares for easy backup 😉 did you do anything? did you change anything in config.txt? overclocked a bit too much or anything? maybe you can set up linux (live cd?) on your desktop computer, but in the sd card, mount the volumes and copy over the needed files?

          No, an n64 game froze, I pulled the plug and rebooted I've had recalbox do this from time to time, I should have known to make a backup first!

            well you learn that (backup) after using raspberry pis for some time 😉 pulling the plug should be avoided on RPI at all costs when the system is running - even when it looks like it's frozen... it's always a good idea to try SSHing into the RPI and reboot it there by entering "reboot" instead of pulling the plug. at least if it's not frozen completely... https://github.com/digitalLumberjack/recalbox-os/wiki/Root-access-on-terminal-(EN)

              Yeah, stupid really, I should have realised...... b****r 😞 I got a bit complacent with the whole "recovery" thing 😉
