@garmadon At least I wasn't going insane Now all I have to do is work out how to make this all work with my x-Arcade Dual joystick and put it all in my cabinet and I'm good to go!

Thanks for everyones help.

@paradadf No worries, I think I worked it out (see below). Thanks for trying to assist though!

@garmadon That makes sense as I just noticed that the "Skraper" app I was using was restarting my recalbox machine after each system was complete. I guess it doesn't shut it down correctly. I have stopped using it and I've been stable for a lot longer than I have so far.

Thank you for your help.

@paradadf Thanks for the reply - I have done this several times. It completes and the larger drive is there; I get it loaded up with ROMS and then randomly it looses that partition and goes back to basic settings.

I'm running this on a 240gb SSD, i7 with 4GB RAM.

I managed to get this from a log.

Hi, this new release looks awesome but I am having an issue with the x64 build. I have tried on 2 separate machines and 2 separate hard drives. It all starts well, I get my roms copied over and games play. Then randomly it reboots and I've lost everything. It seems like the main partition is being lost. All the config and log files show 0bytes size. I've tried everything I can to resolve this but I'm not a Linux guy or a developer so I'm kinda lost now. Any help would be very much appreciated.
