        @cyperghost I'm expecting a new case, tomorrow. Can I ask how I should install the script.

        Do I connect it all up, leave the safe shutdown switch in 'on' position and the power switch in the on position, then turn power on at the socket?

        Or do I install the script on the pi, then connect the case?

        Thanks

        Dan

          @campbell87 It does not matter. Usually you set the Pi in the case, set the SafeShutdown switch to ON and start the Raspberry with Retropie.

          You establish a internet connection and then type in the command by terminal or SSH. Reboot and it should work then.

              @cyperghost got the new case, ran the shutdown script and it works as expected!

              the only difference on this case, is that the pi is powered by the case, so my power cable goes direct into the case, and not the pi.

              thanks for the support!

                Sorry did not get this.... The old case was not directly wired, so there was no plug to put on the GPIO header of the Pie?
                Can you send a picture of the old case please?

                Your description of the new housing is the usual wiring. But nice you get it working now :-D
                Which script did you use now? If you use the crcerror script then you can terminate any running emulator by pressing reset button.
