The Adafruit PyGamer loses your games when it runs out of battery! You’ll have to download them onto it again after it dies.

Idk why it does that. It’s very frustrating every time mine die.

Have you uploaded a game first? Can you upload a video here of yourself dragging a game onto the drive?

That should not happen as it’s stored in flash. That’s incredibly weird… (My PyGamer still has the same game on it and it’s been several years since I’ve uploaded to it, and it doesn’t have a battery…as the last one I had for it started to expand…)

I have two and they both loose their games when they fully die. Not when I turn them off, but when they run out of battery and I turn them on to see those red lights that mean it’s trying to boot but there’s nothing on it. I think something happens when it realizes there’s not enough battery maybe? Or maybe it’s some other issue entirely and I just think that those red lights mean out of battery?

Ok thanks
