Re: [mh] Misterhouse on Raspberry Pi?

I was going to chime in that I just run MH on the microSD without issues, but I just had a failure (on a 4 year old SD), my second such failure. Same as last time: the system boots fine, MH runs without issue, but none of my file changes persist after reboot. It’s just writing to the SDs buffer, not to the flash. 

4 years isn’t too bad though.

I'm a big fan of the Picoreplayer which has a great feature of running totally from RAM once booted, so you can switch it off without worries.  Though mh needs to write status, I could forsee a picore or similar mini distro that includes mh, and saves its config/recovers (if lost) to network storage or cloud.
