Thought about it, but when gf/friends are playing on it and are done, they use the original switch :o
Oh yeah, you only use it when you know it, that's true. :lol:
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to inform you that I am currently moving very far away, and therefore I am very busy.

UPDATE: I am still alive! My ISP is setting up my internet on the 19th of January at my new place, explaining my offline-ness.

If you write me a PM, I will very likely take some time to respond.

Also, my 2nd build will soon go on, so if you've been following it, please stay tuned! :)

Many thanks for your understanding!

I put the USB wifi adapter casing in the contrast port hole as I'm not bothered about hdmi on a handheld system. The adapter fits back in the casing after soldering it to the AIO.

Sucessfully installed the pololu switch, so no the safe shutdown feature works perfect :D I have also worked a little bit on a guide for a battery icon, but I'm not done yet, maybe next weekend!
