Section 1. RetroFlag Pi-Case+ Safe Shutdown

Turn switch "SAFE SHUTDOWN" on PCB to ON position.

Safe Shutdown Switch

Multi Switch Shutdown

with advanced shutdown features for more natural behaviour:

  • If you press restart if emulator is currently running, then you will be kicked back to ES main menu
  • If you press restart in ES main screen, ES will be restartet (no reboot!), good for quick saving metadata or internal saves.
  • If you press power-off then Raspberry will shutdown

All metadata is always saved

Turn switch "SAFE SHUTDOWN" on PCB to ON.
