      I deleted half of the scipt and it still works, would it be possible to delete everything I don't need from this? That would make it a lot easier to translate it to WiringPi, since I don't understand half of what the script does.

        @denisuu You can delete 95% if the script and it will still work. Instead of the raspi-gpio try to translate to wpi calls. Did you try to compile raspi-gpio? https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspi-gpio

          @cyperghost I'll try that though I'm pretty new to Linux so that would be a first time compiling anything, good way to learn!

          This the most I could delete without breaking functionality. Is it difficult to add the reset button to just reboot?

          Retroflag_Raspbian-Shutdown.sh

          Danke schön!

            @denisuu yes that is a stripped down version. Now use the if clause in line 28 and write your reboot command in. You can further strip down this if you want. Take care about the reset value I am not sure what it's default is. 0 or 1 just pretest with echo command.

              I compiled raspi-gpio on OSMC and the script is working now!!! I wouldn't know how to further strip this down, it's a miracle I even got this far!

              The onlything left to do is the reboot button.

              When it's finished is it ok if I put them on Github? All credits to you ofcourse!

                It was just as simple as putting sudo reboot on the line you said! It seems the button doesn't work every time, sometimes I have to press twice but good enough! Maybe it's just the case...

                I put this here:
                https://github.com/Denisuu/OSMC_NesPi-SuperPi_Safe-Shutdown

                I haven't linked it anywhere so if you have any objections let me know!

                  Nice job. This is IMHO the best solution to go

                  Do as you like. I take a look to your git looks good.

                  Excuse me for my late reply I was on vacation and the internet connection was terrible bad so there was just room for some phone messaging and email. For goodness SMS worked very good ;)

                    I am just re-doing a new OSMC installation with Retropie embedded in it so I thought I would get a retroflag and finally put it in a case!

                    @denisuu
                    I followed your instructions on your git page. I have a question on step 1) You said I could run the command for OSMC as a one liner, but I got permission denied, I just had to run it as sudo in pieces; that worked until i got to the last command "make install". I get the following message:

                    osmc:/usr/src/raspi-gpio$ make install
                    gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"raspi-gpio\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"raspi-gpio\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"0.2\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"raspi-gpio\ 0.2\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"serge@raspberrypi.org\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"raspi-gpio\" -DVERSION=\"0.2\" -I.     -g -O2 -MT raspi-gpio.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/raspi-gpio.Tpo -c -o raspi-gpio.o raspi-gpio.c
                    /bin/bash: gcc: command not found
                    Makefile:361: recipe for target 'raspi-gpio.o' failed
                    make: *** [raspi-gpio.o] Error 127
                    
                    

                    Am I missing something?

                      I'm not sure, I tried it a couple of days ago and it was working.

                      Maybe you can try and compile it from here? https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspi-gpio

                        Ok,

                        I reinstalled Retrosmc and that made it work. Works like a charm; if I had a way, id buy you both a drink.

                          @denisuu I lift your OSMC modification into first posting. Glad you compiled raspi-gpio to OSMC

                            Hi, noob here
                            I don't undestand 4 and 5 steps:

                            1. Now edit ES autostart with nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh and add script to like ....
                            2. /home/pi/RetroPie/scripts/multi_switch.sh --nespi+ & but BEFORE the last line emulationstatio #auto

                            What I need if I want to make a power off option in retropie menu?

                                  @vivesladron then change the delieverd scripts from YouTube with calls according to help in multi_switch e.g. bash /path/to/multi_switch.sh --es-restart & to restart ES properly.

                                    Ok
                                    I designed my power button menu
                                    photo_2019-02-18_12-11-44.jpg
                                    And I edited es_systems.cfg
                                    <system>
                                    <name>power</name>
                                    <fullname>Power</fullname>
                                    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/scripts</path>
                                    <extension>.rp .sh</extension>
                                    <command>/home/pi/RetroPie/scripts/multi_switch.sh --es-poweroff</command>
                                    <platform/>
                                    <theme>power</theme>

                                    Is that a good option to do it?
                                    Will it save metadata and shutdown the system?

                                    How can I run it directly without the next screen?

                                      try changing the path to the full path to the script, to see if that works

                                          @vivesladron Do following

                                          on es_systems

                                          <system>

                                          <platform/>

                                          Then put your script files into /home/pi/RetroPie/scripts

                                          nano "/home/pi/RetroPie/scripts/PowerOff.sh

                                          #Poweroff Script by cyperghost
                                          /home/pi/RetroPie/scripts/multi_switch.sh --es-poweroff &
                                          

                                          nano "/home/pi/RetroPie/scripts/Restart ES.sh"

                                          #Restart EmulationStation by cyperghost
                                          /home/pi/RetroPie/scripts/multi_switch.sh --es-restart &
                                          

                                          That should work.

                                            That’s perfect
                                            Thanks!

                                            What if I want only poweroff by pressing just once from the power menu?

                                            I didn’t check @drakaen391 suggestion yet
