| 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. | To keep the price down, the Raspberry Pi board doesn't ship with a power button, yet it's easy to add your own!

| Here are some commercial power switches/commercial cases with power switches 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. | Here are some commercial power switches/commercial cases with power switches that are currently supported.

| | Until Batocera 40, only ArgonOne V1/V2 cases for Raspberry Pi4 are supported. |

| | Activate the Argon One fan by adding ''system.power.switch=ARGONONE'' in the configuration file ''batocera.conf'' and that's it. Upon next reboot, the fan will be controllable by software (fan speed depending on the temperature) and double-clicking the button on the back will kill the running emulator and get you back to EmulationStation. |
