      Hi again,
      So, after all I added a momentary switch according to https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-a-start-stop-button-to-your-recalbox-(EN).

      I uncommented only:
      system.power.switch=PIN56PUSH

      The result was being able only to turn on the Pi with the switch. Turning it off doesn't work.
      Also the LED was on for about 3 seconds after I turned the pi on, afterwards it was going off. I managed to keep the LED on with a solution I found in another thread (https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/11266/led-status-light/10)
      by adding the line "enable_uart=1" in the config.txt

      Any idea why my switch isn't working for pi shutdown?
      (rpi3, recalbox 17.12.02)

        my wiring is as follows:
        momentary switch pins 5-6
        led positive pin 8 with resistor
        led negative pin 6 (bridged with switch's pin)
