Ok …. without scraping it doesnt freeze.

When it freezes a SSH connection is still possible but theres nothing in the log file to indicate why.

Top says theres still 600megs ram available :/

Now copying gamelist files into emulationstations gamelist dirs….

Nope. That broke it now it wont startup. Time for yet another reinstall……

Ok so i fresh installed my sd…..

Renamed ALL my roms so my filenames only contain letters and numbers…..

Unzipped all roms except mame ……

Rescraped on the pi itself……

Rebooted went through mame file without playing anything….. so far so good…..

Went into atari 2600 and got down about 20 roms and ……. FREEZE.

FFS.

Emulationstation is definately not running .

As i said i even copied the rom folders onto a usb stick.

I read through the xml files and couldnt aee any errors.

What i dont understand is the freezing on the system selection screen ???????

Its only a handful of xml files and a lot of thumbnail images. So is it a memory leak?

Are the xml files parsed at startup or during sustem selection??

Why does it take a few games to freeze up ????

I too am having lockups after scraping with this tool.

It lets me play 3 or 4 games then locks up , and it has also locked up on the system selection screen too ??

have tried with rpi 1 and rpi 2 with different psus and different sd cards ….. its definately the scaping.

i even copied the rom folders to a usb and did a fresh install then allowed ES to copy the roms back into the installation and it locks up again ?????

what is causing this ???????
