Which gaboze pacio image works + where can I find safe shut down script

Which gaboze pacio image works? I flashed a SD card with the emulation station build from the GitHub. And where can I find the script for the safe shut down I can add for it? I remember that there was one some time ago that worked for it but it's been years and I can't find it again. Also how/where would I put it? I'm a noob so don't know if I'd have to copy & paste the script on the root of the SD card. It's my first time making any gameboy zeros.

There is no safe shutdown script for the Gaboze. You'd have to add the ADS1015 board and you could map a safe shutdown to a button, but you would still have to click the power switch to off to turn off the screen.
Here is what you are looking for.

Thank you. Now just need to find out why my unit is making a noice and not turning on.

What do you mean by not turning on? Does the screen go white or not turn on at all? Check the contrast wheel if you built a Round 2. I thought I had another bad screen, but the contrast was just turned waaaaaaaay down.
If the screen goes white and nothing boots, check to see if you have a light on the Pi.
Is the noise coming from the speaker?

Can you put up some picks of your board

The light on the board lights up but makes a noice when turning it on with my SD card. I think the cars broke :( sad because the only other 32 gig card I have is for my r4 so I'm going to flash it and keep the app running without anything else on the screen (was watching anime while flashing so don't know if that caused something) want to be safe because don't want to go and buy 2 32 SD cards. Crossing fingers this time this SD card flashes with emulation station. Although I may go with laka since it's smaller but don't know what warning/issues Eugiene talked about on the GitHub about it.

I ran the emulation station card on mine no problem, but I only did a 16gb because that is honestly more than enough for the Pi Zero files. I flashed it using etcher too because I tried some other way on my mac and it didn't work, but etcher worked well.

I've never had a pi make noise before. That's a new one for me.

I downloaded the .IMG file so don't know if that maybe the issue. I'm using a 32 gig just so I have enough room for everything. I also had someone add rear buttons to it.
Yeah a noise like it's trying to turn on.

I really wonder if the card is to big. 16gb is honestly more than enough. I put rear buttons on mine as well. Try burning the image with Etcher if you didn't use that before.

Your screen is turning on right?

How do I unflash a SD card? I have a 2 gig SD card I have been using from my old r4 and want to try putting laka on it but also want to make sure I can remove the laka and use the 2 gig SD card again and use a different SD card when I find a spare

I believe you need at least a 4gb. You can rewrite it with Etcher
