Retropie system, display patch and safe shutdown scripts are necessary.

Step 1: Display Patch

Why do we need to install display GPi CASE 2 patch for Retropie?
Because Retropie systems default display output is HDMI. GPi CASE 2 has to transfer display output to GPIO for it to work correctly.


Step 2: Safe Shutdown

GPi CASE 2 can have SAFE SHUTDOWN functions. (Scripts are necessary).
