How many SD cards have you bricked?

But, since I setup my gpio's to run the halt command when a button attached to them is pressed I've had zero issues.

Nice, i'm working on a solid model for a 3D printed PSP style handheld that I want to trick out so making sure it halts properly is key.
For this setup, I just make sure i have a terminal where i can do a 'sudo shutdown -r 0' to reboot if i get stuck in an emulator that has problems. like unconfigured controller.
I'm really having trouble getting mame4all to run my roms, even though I used clrmamepro to reduce them down to 375b or whatever version they take. I just tried FBA with a supposedly known to work set, but I was still only ale to launch like 1 in 5 games.
still in progress...

How much ram are you dedicating to GPU?
Some Roms don't run unless you have at least 175 mb dedicated to gpu.
DaOld Man:
How do you check or change the amount of ram for the GPU?

It's a pi2 so I just left all that at default to start. It says i'm missing files when I try to run some of the games. I tried FBA with a list of supposedly known working roms and some are working but not most... I really only want about 50 arcade games on this portable machine, so I wouldn't mind hand picking them, but finding each working version will be a bit of a pain.
DaOld Man:
My SD card just bricked by itself.
Played Quake iii last night before turning it off.
Tried to play again this afternoon and got errors. tried running fsck but didnt help.
Reformatted the card and re-installed the retro pi image and all is well.
Well not quite. i lost all my roms, got to re build all them.
I must make a backup of the card once I get it all back.
I dont know why the card bricked. I was playing around with the video settings, so maybe I did it, but Im pretty sure I restarted it after messing with the settings and it did just fine. (last night).
