      SuperPi case, i came from your outdated script that's linked on RetroFlag's github and this script doesn't work. When a game is running, i need to flip the reset button several times then it kills retroarch. Same for shutdown, after 2-3secs "Killed" appears on the screen then it shuts down

        @danick8989 You to explain in a more clear way. The script can be utilzed in two ways.

        1. If you use it in pure shell mode then you need to hold the button for one second. The pure bash script uses simple polling to check GPIO state.
        2. If you "came" from RetroFlag then you utilize python and this uses interrupts so it recognizes button presses instantly. And the lack of "reaction" is likely a faulty case.

        Furthermore: if it terminates retroarch and returns you to ES and it shuts down your Pie why are you assuming it's outdated and does not work?

          @cyperghost I'm not assuming it as outdated, i said i came from your previous revision of the script that's linked on RetroFlag's github page(they didn't update it to this one). And i thought killing retroarch and ES would be discouraged? Like, previously didn't the script send a command to ES for it to close RA properly or something? Also it's not clear to me, how do i use python instead of a bash script, and since it seems to work more seamlessly, why isn't it the default? I rolled back to the old multiswitch script in the meantime, since it still works flawlessly for me aside from exiting from Kodi.

            Hi, I kind of hijacked another thread regarding Pegasus, but thought I would ask here instead.

            I'm not using a RetroFlag unit, but a Kite Circuit Sword from Sudomod.com

            I'm unsure if my shutdown script, the cs_shutdown.sh file in /opt/ folder, does something special that can harm the safe-shutdown process if not built into another script, e.g. your Multi Switch Script. My file looks like this (also mentions a shutdown file?):

            #!/bin/bash
            
            # Get ES pid
            ES_PID=`pidof emulationstation`
            
            if [[ $ES_PID != "" ]] ; then
            
              echo "ES_PID: $ES_PID"
            
              # Touch the shutdown file
              touch /tmp/es-shutdown
              chown pi:pi /tmp/es-shutdown
            
              # Tell ES to terminate
              kill -s SIGTERM $ES_PID
            
              echo "ES has been asked to shutdown"
            
            else
            
              echo "Could not find ES PID ($ES_PID)"
              sudo shutdown -h now &
            
            fi
            

            Could I just delete this file, and install your Multi Switch Script with the modifications that @SinisterSpatula mentions? Or would I miss something? How much is this solely for RetroFlag builds?

            For instance: The RetroFlag is a Pi Zero right? My Circuit Sword is a CM3+ module (not GPIO based, but basically a RPi 3+).

            How can I tell if the script works as intended apart from the screen going black?

              @AndersHP Try replacing

              ES_PID=`pidof emulationstation`
              

              with

              ES_PID=`pidof pegasus-fe`
              

              or what's the actual process name of the Pegasus front-end. The rest of the script should be the same.

                @mitu OK thanks, but can I see somehow if everything is working as planned - apart from the obvious thing that Pegasus should quit?

                  @AndersHP The script you posted does nothing more than stopping Pegasus and shutting down, so if comment out the shuttind down part you can check by seeing if the front-end stops.

                    Did the pidof pegasus-fe trick and pegasus quits to terminal now.
                    But the machine doesn't power off now...?

                      @AndersHP your script will just close Pegasus and that's all. you should add a shutdown command to completly shutdown your system.

                      your (easy) script would more look like...

                      #!/bin/bash
                      PEGASUS_BIN="pegasus-fe"
                      if [[ -n $(pidof $PEGASUS_BIN) ]] ; then
                          killall -w $PEGASUS_BIN
                      fi
                      sudo poweroff
                      

                      Much cleaner and more generic than the original one.

                      If you want the proper exit of all emulators then use this script...

                      #!/bin/bash
                      PEGASUS_BIN="pegasus-fe"
                      if [[ -n $(pidof $PEGASUS_BIN) ]] ; then
                          bash multi_switch.sh --closeemu
                          killall -w $PEGASUS_BIN
                      fi
                      sudo poweroff

                        But the script literally powered off my Gameboy before I did the ES -> Pegasus change...?

                          @AndersHP But this script does behave like your original one. If you are in terminal and type sudo poweroff does then your mashine power off completly?

                          The difference between ES and Pegasus is, that ES uses a "helper" script for shutdown status, therefore the touch-thing.

                          I think you should be more specific for your setup, which additional scripts are running, how did you install them.....

                            I changed to the above mentioned script, and it does quit and then shutdown. Thanks for the help - will try the Multi Switch script next.

                              @AndersHP Don't forget to setup correct path to to script if you call bash multi_switch --closeemu - I know it's sometimes hard to remember doing the things correctly :)

                                @cyperghost Id like to use your multi shotdown script with my new argon one case because their script is much less functional than yours. Their argononed.py script looks like this:

                                import smbus
                                import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
                                import os
                                import time
                                from threading import Thread
                                rev = GPIO.RPI_REVISION
                                if rev == 2 or rev == 3:
                                	bus = smbus.SMBus(1)
                                else:
                                	bus = smbus.SMBus(0)
                                GPIO.setwarnings(False)
                                GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
                                shutdown_pin=4

                                		while GPIO.input(shutdown_pin) == GPIO.HIGH:
                                			time.sleep(0.01)
                                			pulsetime += 1

                                	t2 = Thread(target = temp_check)
                                	t1.start()
                                	t2.start()
                                except:
                                	t1.stop()
                                	t2.stop()
                                	GPIO.cleanup()
                                

                                I tried changing the os.system to os.system("bash /path/to/multi_switch/multi_switch.sh --es-poweroff")like you suggested an earlier time that you helped me but then the reboot and shutdown dont seem to work anymore (I did use the correct path). Obviously I am missing something. I appreciate any guidance you could provide.

                                  @quicksilver It should work with the commands you've posted .... but you've to take care about python idents. Is there an error output?

                                  if true:
                                  print "This won't work"
                                  
                                  if true:
                                      print "This will work"

                                    @cyperghost Since you said it should work it made me think of what I might have messed up. Looks like I forgot to give proper permissions to the multi_switch.sh file. Metadata is now saving properly. Thanks for your assistance!

                                      I see no reason for a downvote here.
                                      Maybe the the one who downvoted @quicksilver can explain?

                                        @cyperghost It's cool, it could have been accidental. And if not, I'm not one who cares much about fake internet points. I'm just happy I got it working. I now have your script setup on 3 different style cases!

                                            @cyperghost Is it possible to make this work with the Argon One case?
