It's very possible, but also not extremely likely.

True, thats why all my builds do not cut power to the PC to turn off.

You can turn off a DOS based MAME machine at will.
My experience with Raspberry Pi has shown that the OS is very easily corrupted if you don't use a Read-Only environment or go through the shutdown process. It's quite disappointing, honestly.
DaOld Man:
This could be a dilemma in the console based Pi because of the high possibility of just unplugging the console instead of powering down first.
This may be worth some research time.

Here is a different power switch add-on that I think does exactly what you want. They are being sold on Tindie, but are currently out of stock. I'm hoping to pick one up whenever they are available again.

DaOld Man:
I don't see where this will properly shutdown the Pi if power fails or plug is pulled. Am I missing something?
