@lolo You should be able to but I don't have one to test it out.

@andku85 there are a bunch of working solution already posted in this forum as @mitu already said - best way would be the officia l script from the case producer. You can search for multi switch script for another working solution but this needs some editing skills

I tried buying one and it kept saying my cart was empty when I would click the add button. I'll just have to wait for the next batch. Amazon needs a better system here.

@mattrixk many thanks! All images, icons and logos of consoles, images of buttons, etc., I drew myself. The only thing I borrowed is the icons for the RetroPie settings. I don’t even remember who their author is, but it was someone from the same forum. They are in the catalog: retropie/icons

@cyperghost The output of my raspi-gpio get 3 was "level=0 fsel=0 func=INPUT", but if I put it in line 322 the Pi always turns off as soon as emulationstation loads, even if completely disconnected from the case. However, I just realised something... the power socket on the MEGAPi case it's not just a cutout, like the HDMI port, but it has its own little board, I didn't notice until now, I just mindlessly plugged the power directly to the Pi, and that was the problem, the multi_switch.sh now works perfectly. Sorry for wasting your time :( (however, the fact that multiswitch086.sh almost worked without using the power board was in itself impressive). As a partial way to make amends I'll correct an error on the installation instructions of the script: Here you have to add a sudo before chmod, otherwise it gives you "permission denied" wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/ES-generic-shutdown/master/multi_switch.sh && chmod +x multi_switch.sh

Glad you git it working. One minor niggle - rpi-update is no longer a recommended way to update your kernel/firmware, this is taken care by the normal OS/package updates. For the time when the problem was reported - immediately after the 3B+ launch - I think some improvements w.r.t the 3B+ model were added that were only available through the latest development kernel/firmware versions. Anyway, keep an eye on the disk space and happy gaming!

Thanks folks for your great advice and quick response. Making the keyboard change in raspi-config worked like a charm. By the way, I highly recommend this nespicase+ case. Thanks again!!!

@mitu @cyperghost I sent an e-mail to RetroFlag the other day describing the issue and from looking at the photo of the wires I sent, they said the colored wires were in the wrong position. They apologized then gave some directions on how to take the wires out and what the proper color order is. I tried taking them out of the black plug but it seemed a bit of a hassle. Fortunately a replacement case arrived from Amazon today and the colored wires in the replacement case are in the correct position. I rebuilt my RetroPie and the shutdown and reset worked right away :). Thanks again for the help. tldr: Original case wires were messed up, replacement worked.

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.

I am a subscriber to ETA Prime on Youtube. I got this email today about the M30 Bluetooth controller from 8bitdo being reviewed. Looks like an awesome pairing for this case!

Ahhh shoot. Thanks both. Out of interest, is there any way to set the Logitech as the 'primary' controller - so that when I plug in the RetroFlag one the Logitech continues to be the one that can access the RGUI menu?

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

As it turns out, the board with the safe shutdown circuitry was missing a resistor near the fan header, so the path that needed to be made to induce the script was not being completed. Retroflag was kind enough to send a replacement board, and now it works perfectly. No script modifications required. See the included picture for details.

@hoodle The wires inside the nespi case are pretty thin. I do get the low power warning with mine sometimes, but mostly fixed that by using a 3A supply. Still get it once in a while when loading movies in KODI. The only way to fix it is to rewire the case with thicker cables.

@haemogoblin Yes, it works exactly like that by default for libretro emulators Select and Start exits to the menu. To begin, you should read this https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and provide info on your setup quickly followed by https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation#configure-controllers which explains everything you are asking.

Not the exact diagram I used originally, but this one will still show you the pins to disable or remove https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/File:Usb-pinout.png You need to disable/remove the +5v/VCC power. This will then turn that USB cable into a data only cable. As your hub is a powered USB hub this won't matter. Thats why when the PI is off its still powered as the hub is now feeding +5v back into the PI. Not a great idea as its not really designed to be powered from a USB connector plus the problems this could cause with too much current draw through the USB connector that the PI needs Either by removing the pin that supplies +5v in the USB plug to the PI or carefully peel back the cable insulation and snip the red wire for the +5v

@elvycoll Consider to buy a NESPi+ case Maybe you can buy a Pimoroni SHIM instead...
