Closed miitygames closed 4 years ago

miitygames commented 4 years ago

Everything works fine and boots properly. But when using the button on wont shutdown for some reason. I've added dtoverlay line in .config and added the retropower.cfg to root I didn't add the poweridicator pcb can this be the reason? Hope u can help me figure out how it works

The power indicator is not necessary for the boot pcb/script. Should be fine on this side. Are you using the the simplyRetro image?

No I'm using the retropie internals are the same and gamecon is installed for button layout over gpio pins It seems it does turn on without any problems but it wont turn of

Ok, I think this is the "problem". The power off functionality needs a script running in the background. This script listens for the button press and initiates the shutdown, if the button is held for a few seconds.

I can link the script and a small explanation to this issue by tomorrow.

Just thinking about it, isnt it just the python3 script and then changing the default to gpio 19 ? Because I've already was thinking about that last night

This is the "retropower application". The application is responsible for the battery indicator and the shutdown on button hold.

Don't forget to save the retropower config file to your boot partion (same location as your retrogame.cfg). I disabled the battery indicator functionality in the config. Please change the shutdown pin too, if necessary. Hope it helps!
