      @mitu I have done a clean installation of RetroPie, and I have installed the multiswitch, but every time the leds come on and it turns off. I have a Nespicase+ and a Raspberry Pi 3B+. I have also tried with the original retroflag script and the same thing happens.

        When I install the script, the nespicase+ always turns off. My Nespicase has a Reset button that is a push button, but the Off button is one of those that stays pressed when pressed, and I have to press it again to get it out.

          @BlackDraGoN-0 I'm not familiar with the case, but I remember you had to activate a switch in order to have the script functional - https://retroflag.com/download/NESPi_CASE+_Manual.pdf mentions this switch and I presume it has to be switched ON (default is OFF).

              @BlackDraGoN-0 said in Multi Switch Shutdown Script!:

              Off button

              You meant the "Power"-Button, or (pressed=On, unpressed=Off)?

                Exactly (pressed = on, not pressed = off), that's my button.

                I no longer know what to do to make the script work.

                  @BlackDraGoN-0 I had no problems with the script on my superpi and nespi+ cases, was that a fresh setup you installed the script on to? If possible (spare sd card), maybe you should check with a fresh retropie install/image and retroflags own shutdown-script.
                  And on @cyberghosts GIT-repo there is a newer script version 0.86 (# v0.86 Added Switch check to NESPi+ cases), but that's labeled as -testing and i don't know what the changes exactly do (and as cyberghost wasn't on the forum for over a year ...), and as the older version worked (for me) - best to on a fresh install and with retroflags script 1st and if that works on a fresh install with the multi-switch script.

                      This is my /etc/modules :

                      # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
                      #
                      # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
                      # at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
                      
                      uinput

                        Version 0.86 is for me nespicase+, but when I press the buttons nothing happens. Do I have to have uart active or something like that?

                          @BlackDraGoN-0 I too have a nespi+ and used scripts pre 0.86 ones without problems (maybe retroflag changed something and came up with a new revision?), have you tried a fresh install with retroflags own script? FYI cyberghost/crcerr also has, besides his multiswitch shutdown script, a fork from retroflags official one on his git-pages wich offers a more graphical readme then the one on retroflags behalve.
                          In previous times doing the steps which are now offered via the install.sh from the repo worked OOB, you may try out that one - but either do it on a fresh install, or make sure you uninstalled any leftovers from previous tryouts.

                            @cyperghost Hi, Thank you for your great work with this script, but I have the Issue with the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.
                            I have installed you script and I have Connectet to Pin 5 (GPIO3) and GND a momentary switch. I also preformed the comamnd:

                            raspi-gpio set PIN3 ip pu
                            

                            The shut down sequenze works fine but the zero dosn't power up again.
                            Is this a zero related issue?

                            raspi-gpio get 
                            

                            returns:
                            GPIO 3: level=1 fsel=0 func=INPUT

                            Best Regards
                            Predator2k4
