Just a couple of questions about the new 1.2 board, Have the reset switch pads been removed from this model as I can't see them? also has the immediate shutdown in certain games (emulator cores) been fixed?

Cheers, only a few days now till bill day :)

@Mischief The reset headers were removed because you can either connect a momentary switch to the EN/GND pins of the PowerBoost, or use the RUN headers on the Pi to reset.

Immediate shutdown is also no longer an issue.

Hi Camble, it's been a while since i got the safeshutdown switches (1.1 version) and haven't got it to work with my pi zero powered with powerboost1000. The thing is that i tried the two scripts (don't know which is best as i think you said the two would work)
https://github.com/Camble/GBZ-Power-Monitor_PB
https://github.com/Camble/Safe-Power-Monitor
and the two seem to do something, because power off is not powering off at the moment and if i shutdown from retropie it powers everything off after. also the low battery overlay is working and tells me when i'm running out of battery, but seems like the shutdown command is not being sent. i also noticed a kernel panic one time.
the thing is that i think everything is running worse than before (i'm using retropie 4.1 with default emus/config) and even NES emulator is now struggling to work... (can't even play super mario bros at decent speed). is it normal? can I revert changes or do I need to reformat?
thanks, i'm quite confused with this

EDIT: reinstalled gbzpowermonitorpb and it works!!!! is there a way to remove the safepowermonitor script or is it just overwritten by the other one? i still notice emulators are lagging a lot

@marcushg https://github.com/Camble/Safe-Power-Monitor is unfinished and not guaranteed to work.

"crontab -r" will delete them all from startup and you can re-add the one you want.

You are not the First with lagging emus on 4.1 search the sudomod forum there is an thread about this.

Hi there, I have an SD image made with everything working as it should but im not longer using powerboost, so now everytime i power on my pi the script just tells me it is going to shutdown in 60secs because battery is really low. How can i uninstall the script quickly? it gives me just a few seconds to go to terminal and type a few commands...

Short BCM27 & BCM17 to 3.3v to bypass the shutdown command.

Thanks in advance
I'd like to know this too. I Checked the whole thread and did a few in thread searches and didn't see anything. I have @Helders newest board, Powerboost 1000c, Pi Zero 1.2 and this switch.
