        When i get home, I'll set up a recalbox build and let you know if I can. I won't be ready for another couple of hours though. You're wanting confirmation on the emulatorlauncher.pyc right?

            @SgtJimmyRustles I need some output commands.
            Does pidof emulationstation works?
            Does pgrep -f emulationstation works?

            I created a bash file that will exit any emulator if you call it. So it's the first step of integrating this into RecalBox. Please download from my github with
            wget http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/RetroPie-Shares/master/RecalBox_exitemu.sh

            Make it executable after download or use bash command.
            Then every instance of running emulators should be finished. I later can work to integreate this into the Retroflag scripts.

              Here's the results.

              pidof emulationstation
              2489

              pgrep -f emulationstation
              2489

              So yes, the two commands above work.

              While running the script while in game, it takes me back to the Recalbox menu using bash.

              bash RecalBox_exitemu.sh

                @SgtJimmyRustles I have a BATOCERA system running now.
                The script works so far as intendend. If I execute this it will bring me back to ES. So we can reset any emulator. Let me take some time to make a working python script.

                      ONLY FOR RECALBOX/BATOCERA!

                      @SgtJimmyRustles Okay "command" script is ready for testing. This is very simplified script to get status of running emulators or if ES ist still running. You now can terminate any running emulators by using command line.

                      Please download with wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/RetroPie-Shares/master/RecalBox_exitemu.sh; chmod +x RecalBox_exitemu.sh

                      to execute type ./RecalBox_exitemu.sh and a small help page will appear. Now type commands. For ex. ./RecalBox_exitemu.sh --emukill to terminate current running emulators. Does the --restart switch do it's job? Is metadata saved?

                      Todo:
                      Modify Python script
                      Modify installer script

                        I'll try it when I get home.

                          Appears to work in PC version of batocera.

                          Both commands

                                  That being said, if I manually download and excute this script:

                                  wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/retroflag-picase/master/other_os/recalbox_install.sh

                                  It works it seems.

                                  Going through the testing on it.

                                  Edit: Holding down the reset button during the emulationstation screen reboots recalbox totally it seems.

                                  The in-game reset and reset back to EmulationStation works as expected.

                                    @SgtJimmyRustles Man it took as long to write the installers as to modify these scripts. The challenge is that Batocera and Recalbox use different file systems. I need to set the mount write command into the install script.

                                    So you downloaded the script and saw an input mask where you were asked if you want to install a Batocera or Recalbox system?

                                      Yeah, that script came up. I pressed R for recalbox for example.

                                        @SgtJimmyRustles I did a complete rewrite of the whole logic! There is just one script for all version (RecalBox and Batocera) available.
                                        It works on my BATOCERA build best!

                                        Can you please test for RecalBox again?
                                        And on RecalBox is there a file recalbox.version in directory /recalbox present?

                                            @SgtJimmyRustles Yes you need to install the scripts again. They were massivly modified. BATOCERA works perfect now. I did never tried RECALBOX so it would be nice to have your feedback ;)

                                            If you used BATOCERA you have to remove every installed file manually because the script is named now recalbox_SafeShutdown.py instead of batocera_SafeShutdown.py. I took back the challenge to use one script for two modifications. It's easier to maintain now.

                                            Learned now how to use python ;)
