Thanks that made it work

Hi
ok did not know that there was 2 cases
i got this version + (nespi +) so for me all reset + safe on/off work
is it possible just to remove this two buttons and run them on long cables mount them on front ?
They got 6 pins on each buttons so i have to get 6 cables for each button? or some of them are dummy connections ?

What specifically is it doing with Emulation station? Is there someplace in the scripts where I can swap out the executable from ES to attract?

I am having the exact same issue with my Kintaro Kuma 9000. I'm using a retropie image that I downloaded from arcade punks. I had originally used another image which did not have these power issues and booted up fine with the power buttons and showed the red LED light. But then I switched to another image and now have this exact same problem. It starts up and then right when the splash screen ends, it shuts down. Did you ever get a fix for this issue?

@quicksilver
Not really, I’ve already rewired from the power input to the switch board, and modified the base a bit.

For support on the RetroFlag switch, you should ask them on their support/project page.
I'd still recommend the script by @cyperghost, it's easy to use and has really detailed instruction both in the topic started and on the github page.

@denisuu Thanks, but I've already installed it!

I did notice the SNES one as well. Awesome!

Cheers

@almulder Yeah, its working now. @cyperghost found a fix for the 3B+.

Ya I have been looking into python, but instead of 'sleep' replaced that with a 'sync;sync' to check if the system is being written to. (Was told this is much better to do it twice as the fist time it might wight some code back or something I cant remember why for sure. ) But it starts to play a video prior to the rest of the code., so the video starts and then while its playing the shutdown is started and the actual shutdown is not ran until it get info back that the video is finished. This way the video can be any length I want. :)

Going to look more into python and better methods of doing the shutdown. Once finished I plan to send them the code so they can update it. Any help is apreciated. :)

@cyperghost Excellent ! And thanks, I'll try it :)

@mitu it came back :/

@Jekku If you have the nespi case with a fan already installed, you must remove that fan before you can use the dual fan heat sink. Also, use some white scotch tape and tape the heat sink to the raspberry pi with a dry fit. The fan slot in the case can interfere with a proper install. But, there is a certain position while still being able to give full contact to the heat spots on the pi when it is installed. Also, recommend using the flat copper heat sink for the chip on the back of the board. I have actually done this but without the copper heat sink on the back of the board. To be honest those double fan heat sinks actually fall off rather easily if given a light to medium tap. It is better to just use the regular heat sinks with the Nespi case fan installed.

@edmaul69 Granted, if you know what the layout of the board is. Then you are fine. Just seems like it will catch a few people out. Seems vague and poorly worded to me.
Call it a Pi 1B+ just to be definitive.

@pilsnerz said in About the RetroFlag cases! Surprise surprise.... They can cut off power!:

@cyperghost

Just bumping this @cyperghost or if I anyone has ran into this

@cyperghost Just got here after buying a 2nd hand case and losing my mind a little.

Wanted to say that your instructions and script worked perfectly first time, absolutely over the moon :)

Thankyou, thankyou :) (I even signed up here to say ta ;) )
