This guide shows how to install switch and modify led but you will also have to modify the script on your Raspberry Pi with Retropie installed.............................................. Here is a link for similar momentary switches like mine http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=jandorf+buzzer+momentary+push+button+switch+61306&_osacat=1249&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xjandorf+61306.TRS0&_nkw=jandorf+61306&_sacat=1249
..........................................................................................................
This is the commands you enter to change script on Retropie command prompt configuration.....also here is a link to ETA Prime's guide that explains this better..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nTuzIY0i3k&t=7s..
ALSO A NOTE FOR LINE 5. the full address may not show on youtube. Here is the full address if needed don't forget to add http: to beginning though:
//pypi.python.org/packages/source/R/RPi.GPIO/RPi.GPIO-0.5.11.tar.gz

VERSION 1.1
Enter the following commands in Retropie command prompt :

1. sudo apt-get install python-dev

2. sudo apt-get install python3-dev

3. sudo apt-get install gcc

4. sudo apt-get install python-pip

5. wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/R/RPi.GPIO/RPi.GPIO-0.5.11.tar.gz

6. sudo tar -zxvf RPi.GPIO-0.5.11.tar.gz

7. cd RPi.GPIO-0.5.11

8. sudo python setup.py install

11. sudo nano /home/pi/scripts/shutdown.py


The content of the script: Paste it in the blank area

#!/usr/bin/python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import subprocess

# we will use the pin numbering to match the pins on the Pi, instead of the
# GPIO pin outs (makes it easier to keep track of things)

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)

# use the same pin that is used for the reset button (one button to rule them all!)
GPIO.setup(5, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP)

oldButtonState1 = True

while True:
#grab the current button state
buttonState1 = GPIO.input(5)

# check to see if button has been pushed
if buttonState1 != oldButtonState1 and buttonState1 == False:
subprocess.call("shutdown -h now", shell=True,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
oldButtonState1 = buttonState1

time.sleep(.1)


11-2. Press CRTL X Then Y
