Okay. After updating to the new image and restoring everything… I can’t play a game for 10 minutes without the GS just shutting off. (Almost like the battery is dead) so I turn it back on immediately and the battery says it’s full. Anyone else have this issue? I was playing on GamBatte emulator if that make a difference. Edit: left it on the launcher to see if it would shut down. No errors Booted up a GB game with GamBatte… shit down in \<5 minutes. Trying with a GBA rom now EDIT 2: tried with gPSP and it shut down. Never had this issue before… it’s basically unplayable. ---

AIRPLANE mode seemed to fix the issue. I assume it’s a BT issue, but I don’t use BT so it doesn’t bother me to have it off. Would like a fix tho. ---

Just did that, and am running Pkmn Red to test. No errors so far… BT is on. GSNotify has been killed. So educated guess is it’s something to do with how BT and Notifications clash when they are ran at the same time. I dunno if that made any sense. EDIT: I have also noticed sometimes it won’t boot up… I turn the unit on. And right before it loads the “CPI HAPPY HACKING” the unit will turn off. After a try or two it turns on, and I don’t have an issue. ---

It’s weird tho because it only happens now and again. Once it boots into the OS… and I turn off Bluetooth (or kill GSNotify) it runs like a top until I turn it off myself Edit: for instance I just started it up after 6 misfires and it fired up into the OS… everything is fine now. GSNotify works great (I turn off BT instead since I don’t use it) ---

And to make life harder. It just shut down mid game… Bluetooth was off. ☹ gonna try again killing GSNotify. ---

Could it be causing a system crash? When does GSNotify actually “start”? If it loads before the splash screen, then I’d say it’s a possibility! [Next page](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/gameshell-shuts-off/2202.md?page=2)
