Retroflag Snes case
-
@cyperghost I am using retropie 4.4 image with all packages updated, I have a pi 3b+ and the safe shutdown switch is set to ON. Any time I hit the power button it just kills all power to the device. No safe shutdown.
-
@HurricaneFan Is there a sudden powerdown like you pull the power cord? If no then try my script. If yes then the switch seems not working
-
@cyperghost Yeah, it acts like I totally powered down like a cord pull. I switched the python file to yours and I get the same behavior. So bad switch might be possible.
-
@hurricanefan I've read about wrong soldered switch, maybe you set safe shutdown to off and try this? Some users reported issues here
-
@cyperghost I tried putting the switch back to off and it doesn't work either. Its as if the switch doesn't do anything at all when its on.
-
Sounds like its something to do with pi 3b+ models.
-
@hurricanefan Do you have annother Pie? It's not the layout of the GPIOs or so... So I think it's rather something with the case.
-
@cyperghost I have a pi 3b thats screwed into another case. I'll try to test that shortly.

This way, the fan starts spinning when you set the POWER switch to ON (and doesn't stop while the Pi is powered on).
And Retropie starts only when I set the POWER SWITCH to ON. Correct?
-
@cyperghost So just finished testing with the same sd card and a pi 3b (not plus) and the safe shutdown and reset code works just fine. The pi 3b+ has something that doesn't like the shutdown/reset code. Super weird!!
-
@hurricanefan I have the retro flag case and using @cyperghost script and it’s working fine on my pi 3b+
-
@hurricanefan Please try following, the retroflag scripts enables UART for getting the power LED work
comment out or writeenable_uart=0from your/boot/command.txt/boot/config.txt -
@cyperghost I don't have a file called command.txt in /boot
I have a file called cmdline.txt is that what you want edited?
-
@hurricanefan Sorry it's
/boot/config.txt -
@cyperghost changing enable_uart=1 to enable_uart=0 did the trick on my 3b+ pi. Thank you so much!
-
@hurricanefan Well committed that to my git.

Hi guys, I hope I'm not too off-topic, but I have no idea ho ask about that.
I was wondering if the snes retroflag case switch works as a powerblock.
I mean, one of the most annoying things about the Raspberry is that everytime you plug it, it boots automatically.With the retroglag snes case (I'm referring to the PAL version) if I plug the raspberry but the switch of the case is set to off, retropie boots anyway or it blocks the booting until I switch it on?
I have the same issue with my rpi2 and a NESPi case + as soon as I plug power into it, it turns on even if the case switch is off, if i then press it on then off it initiates the shutdown command but won't turn back on until I press the switch to on then off again.
Very odd and confusing.
-
@retroisbest I'm not having issue cause I hadn't buy the case yet. I don't know how to help you

Hi,
I am encountering the same issue as @HurricaneFan with mi 3B+. I installed the safe shutdown script as described in the readme and switched to ON. As this did not work, I found this thread and tried the enable_uart=0 which did not work either. Do you guys have any more ideas?

@wurstsemmesepp did you try cyberghosts copy of the script found here?:
