      I have been using a momentary switch and an LED with no problems. After the upgrade to 4.1, the LED turns on when the Pi first turns on, but then turns off once Recalbox is loaded. The power button still works perfectly doing a startup/shutdown procedure. Is anyone else having this issue with the LED? Thanks!

        I have used system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET without problems, even with cooler fan.

          Thanks for this! Do you use a momentary switch with this?

              I use a momentary switch...but this worked! It corrected the LED issue and the momentary switch still functions correctly.

              Which pins did you connect your fan to? Thanks!

                  @azvarel you can also use pin 1 and 9 for the fan. I found that if you use one of the 5V Pins the fan is too loud, 3V is way quieter and it's still cooling nicely.

                      I left it running normal, because where I live it is an unbearable heat (it is almost the desert of the Sahara) is the that it gives to live in tropical country.

                        When you connect the fan there, does it turn on/off when you use the power button...or does the fan stay running constantly, until you pull the power cord out? Thanks again!

                          It stays on even with the rpi in standby, so I put a key behind the SNES to turn it off.
