 ====== Add Powerdevices and Buttons to your Raspberry ======
-To keep the price down, the Raspberry Pi Baird doesn't ship with a power button, yet it's easy to add your own! This guide will show you how to add a power button to your Raspberry Pi that can turn on/off your BATOCERA system.
+To keep the price down, the Raspberry Pi board doesn't ship with a power button, yet it's easy to add your own! This guide will show you how to add a power button to your Raspberry Pi that can turn on/off your BATOCERA system.
 If you don’t want to build your own, several popular commercial options are available. They will add a power switch to your Raspberry Pu, sometimes provide a temperature-controller fan... and add a stylish look to your board.

 Here are some commercial powerdevices that are currently supported. These offer a real power cut, that means the Raspberry is really switched off. Usually these small power devices are plugged on top of the Raspberry using it's 40 Pin header. For further install instruction use the links provided.

+==== Retroflag ====
+Retroflag is the manufacturer who takes focus on retro case for Raspberry Pi series and for origin looking retro game controllers. In the last years they've managed to bring some pretty nice looking housings to the market. These are inspired of gaming devices from the golden era of game consoles. If you are a proud owner of [[Retroflag GPicase|a GPicase]], then take a look here.
+Besides the nice looking there are **always** working buttons for power and/or reset possible. But you have to take a few steps there.
+  - Enable the **Safe Shutdown Switch on the PCB**! This small switch depends on the used housing, refer to the shipped manual from Retroflag how to do this.
+  - Edit ''batocera.conf'' and set the correct switch mode.
+    - You can edit the config file from SAMBA share with your dedicated text editor
+    - or use SSH and you can edit the config file with ''nano /userdata/system/batocera.conf''
+    - or [[add_powerdevices_rpi_only#gui_menu_mode|use the GUI mode]], you need SSH for this method, too.
+  - Activate or Select the correct powerswitch ''system.power.switch=RETROFLAG''
+  - Reboot, this will activate the Safe Shutdown feature
+<WRAP center round info 80%>
+**For the NESPi 4 case only**
+You have to do an additional reboot!
+Sorry guys, but we need to make an autoconfig behind the scenes!
+</WRAP>
 ==== Argon One ====
+Activate the Argon One fan by adding ''system.power.switch=ARGONONE'' in the configuration file ''batocera.conf''.
 By default, the fan starts at 55 degrees Celsius. Your can define own temperature/fan speed ladder by editing the file ''/userdata/system/configs/argonone.conf'' (it can be also edited from the network, via the SHARE SMB folder).
