Finished: Retropie case with on/off switch and power LED

Edit: is it possible in a shutdown script, to tell the Pi to kill all power for certain pins in the GPIO
Yes, see my previous post.. but the 5v port is not a GPIO port, hence you will need to use a transistor to a GPIO for switching and link to the 5v for power..
Thinking more on this, the 5v rail can be used to power the Pi, so makes sense that it does not lose power.. 3v however may still have a chance..

Indeed, my 3v pin is powering off.
I wired a LED's anode + resistor on pin 8 (3v) and cathode on pin 6 (bridged with the button's ground wire).Then I activated the voltage on pin 8 from EmulationStation>raspi-config>interfacing options>Serial.

I installed the script and the button will start the pi up but not shut it down, does anyone know what could cause that? When I first tested it it would shut down but not anymore.
Also sorry about grave digging, just trying to keep the posts in one thread.
