Hi,
I am new to clockwork pi… when I charge my gameshell it automatically turns on, is this normal or is there an issue with my unit??
If normal is there a way to disable it automatically turning on?
yes it’s normal, don’t know a way to prevent this 
thank you 
Hello! Welcome to the forums. 
I’ll have to test it out, but if if doesn’t initially start up, I’m fairly sure that it won’t receive charge. The status light on the back is orange when charging; which I think is determined by kernel parameters.
Eg, when you don’t have an SD card in, and plug it in, the unit doesn’t turn on/boot up; but it also doesn’t receive charge.
Not a solution per se, but having it run in “Balanced” or “Power Saving” will have if automatically turn off after booting up when plugging in power. I use it in the former for the most part, and rarely run into any problems with system performance.
How do I enable that?
If you go into the settings, there’s an option to choose your desires power profile. (From memory)
Thanks @javelinface. 
Is this also in your version of the 0.5 OS?

Yes it is. It’s basically the same as a stock 0.5 image, just updated a lot, and with most of the more difficult and popular emulators, mods and apps compiled together.
