Building the Console
At this point, if you are not using a safe shutdown circuit, you can simply install the Raspberry Pi in the base, hooking up all the cables and you’re good to go!
That wasn’t the case for me though…
You see, the power and reset buttons on the case are just simple interupts in the power circuit to the Pi. This makes for a very simple circuit, but it can also lead to issues with your SD card becoming corrupted due to an unsafe shutdown. Put simply, the Pi doesn’t like when you just pull the plug without shutting it down first.
To address this, I’m using the Mausberry Circuits safe shutdown circuit mentioned above. If you happen to have one of the later versions of the NesPi case then you won’t have to worry about any of this since they have actually implimented their own safe shutdown. Mine is a Version 1 type though.
