I don't know if and how you can make a pi robust like like that; for me it didnt work. I don't want to properly shut down an emulation console, it needs to be headache and worry-free.
RetroPie isn't set up to allow power pulls. I've got notes somewhere on doing it with Linux, it's dead easy.

I know for the Gameboy zero project people are using a thing call "graceful shutdown" to stop said corruption, Which is prob similar to what cools is surgesting> http://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=97
I don't know about it being dead easy though as there seem to be quite a bit involved (Hardware/Software)

Nah, completely different - just software. I know you can simply set the filesystem to read-only and that solves it, but I'm sure there was another way of doing it. This was >10 years ago though.

Ah ok, Using the read only file system would effect saving game files/retropie config settings though ? unless there is some exclusion for extentions or something no ?

Nah, what I'd do is have the core filesystem read-only then a separate partition/drive for stuff I needed to write to. Its a bit more in depth though. Certainly possible to harden it in software .

I have an RGB AV Famicom, CRTs, a Framemeister and a couple of Pi's but I still fancy one of these just because they look cute
