R-Pi SNES retro console project

You are right. It doesn't help with those cases.
I was thinking this thread was just looking for power circuit that could use a toggle type power switch found on most retro consoles.

Peabo:
What would be useful is if one of the GPIO pins could be used like soft power switch. On a Windows based pc, you can hit the momentary power switch and the OS will get that signal from the BIOS and issue a shutdown command. Can the same thing be done in Raspian?
Slippyblade:
Yes, Peabo. Also the Mauseberry switch we were talking about will cut the power after it issues the halt command.
Peabo:
I looked up the Mauseberry switch, but wouldn't that interfere with the Adafruit GPIO software that I'm currently using for the input?

I'm guessing another software module(driver for lack of a better term) needs to be running for this type of switch to work?
