      Can anyone explain to me what any/all of the new power save settings in Retropie do?
      I've searched but I can't find any information.

          @dirthurts The power saving reduces the CPU consumption of EmulationStation during idle time. The options are described by the author in the original pull request: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/pull/172

            Thanks guys.

            It sounds like default should be pretty sufficient.
            Any reason to run enhanced? It seems like it would be a minor shave in power usage.

              @dirthurts I'd stick with the default. If you are running a RetroPie on a Pi you would be saving literally pennies a year by changing this setting.
