Hi,
Hardware: Freeplay Zero with Pi 0 W.
Image: Tried the past 3 sd-image 2101/2201/2501 all give me the same results.
I have the following problem:
It boots up fine into ES, when I don't touch it nothing happens it stays booted, I can even navigate between Ports and Retropie with dpad, but as soon as I enter into retropie a second laten it starts shutdown down.
Anybody any ideas?

I think I've found it. Turns out joy-A and poweroff - on GPIO are next to each other, so I'm guessing these two must be connecting. I've had this build for months now and haven't had this issue before. Weird that these two gpio pins are now all of a sudden getting bridged.

Yeah, I agree that it's odd. Did you take it apart recently or something?

Also, if you have a way to SSH in (or use the keyboard), you could run
jstest /dev/input/js0
or
gpio readall
To see what the buttons are doing. With jstest the power button will act a little bit odd, but you might see if you tap power does it also show that A is being pressed.

Hi,
Been on vacation for a while but this problem has been solved. It turned out the A-button and the Power-Off pins were shorting.

Thanks all
