Raspberry Pi JAMMA
RetroBorg:
I had never thought about any issues regarding powering down I just turned off my cocktail table at the plug like I had always done with my 60 in 1 board. I never had any corruption issues and never noticed any scores not saving. Not that I ever did any specific tests. I also treat my original Raspberry Pi which runs Kodi (openelec) exactly the same. I just pull the plug on that and never had an issue. I guess I've just been ignorant of potential issues.

Any one worried about SD card corruption should download and try the software. If you make it corrupt I'd love to hear about it... can only help to improve it by reporting problems.
I'm pretty sure a lot of the pis rep for killing SD images is from earlier drivers and unstable overclocking. I've had one card die in 2 years working on this project - and it was a brand I will not be using again, on the older 24pin GPIO pi. Since the B+ pi and using Sandisk cards, no issues at all. As far as I know no issues for others either - doesn't mean it can't happen, but it hasn't yet to my knowledge.
Seriously, try the software, can't hurt.

Link to software?
opt2not:
I posted the links above, sniped from KLOV.
pbj, if you have a chance to get this going and try cutting the power at different times of functionality, I'd be really interested in what you find.
I don't have a Pi myself, otherwise I would try it too. :(

I think that what software the pi happens to be running has a profound effect on whether or not it corrupts when power is lost.
My mame setup is different to the one under discussion in this thread, but I have never had a corruption despite several accidental or lazy plug pullings.
The way I have treated my pi, I certainly deserve to have had a corrupt card by now, yet it hasn't happened.
Maybe the people who have experienced corrupted cards were running more write-intensive applications?
