this didn't work for me sadly. I use a dvi monitor and set it for dvi correctly but after a restart that doesn't involve pulling the plug for 3 seconds its a black screen. Strange part for me is that I had it working perfectly but I screwed up an unrelated aspect of my sd card so I just said oh well and reflashed a fresh install, set it up as before including dvi but I get the black screen now. everything else works great including jack audio lirc for kodi, on/off/reset/led, usb encoder, etc. its an slightly older gateway monitor if that matters at all.

@subs thank you. I'm new to python so just knowing thats the route is a big help. So far using one relay to toggle the power state of the pi is working very well. it's nice to have all my custom lighting and speaker/monitor turn fully off while operating the pi with the same switch.

ok I've had time to think about this problem more and I believe I have a solution though I havent tested it yet.

Since I have the onoff switch which toggles a pin to ground AND I have a 4 relay module I should be able to do it all.

I'll have the onoff switch toggle ground to all 4 relays, then use one relay to toggle ground to the onoff gpio pin. the other three will operate the speakers, led lighting, and power to the monitor.

I'll report back with results in case it is helpful to others

I have added a nice 12v led marque style bar to by bartop. I'm trying to use a sainsmart 4 relay board to turn the leds and speakers on and off with the pi. I have the reset on/off led setup wired now. I read that wiringpi was added in 4.0.0 beta 1. following the wiringpi examples for a simple blink script returns gcc command not found. how can I pull a gpio to ground on boot?   Thanks as always. attached is pic of the fake coin door I 3d printed. the onoffresetled worked perfect with it thank you

I have a 500gb hd plugged in and NOT setup in recalbox as the share partition. I see it in kodi as wanted. Now I'd like it to be shared on the network so I may add media to it as easily as adding roms to recalbox is.   Is this possible? thank you in advance for your help as well as all the hard work it takes to maintain this project.

I think the devs reasoning is that it displays the logo of the team that works hard to bring this awesomeness to us and they feel this is a small trade-off to show that logo always. I personally can live with that, it make little difference really and recalbox is so much better than retropie for me. All that being said I would be glad to see an option to show an additional splashscreen after recalbox's maybe even with a settable time on screen.

heads up. you mean cp not copy

what speed is needed for ps3 controllers to work reliably and without lag?
