      @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.

          Great to hear! Appreciate your hard work!

            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?

                                Do I need to do a fresh install?

                                  @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 ;)

                                    The Script seems to have the same reboot effect on recalbox when using the reset button at the emulationstation menu, seems to just reboot the device.

                                    Pressing Reset in game kicks me back to the main recalbox emulation station menu, which is good.

                                    I'll try with Batocera next.

                                    Recalbox Version is 18.07.13

                                    PS, you should stop by the discord linked in my profile. A few people from here are there, and it might be better to continue the convo there since it's open to ALL gaming with a Single Board Computer IE Raspberry Pi. Just throwing it out there since they may not want to talk about recalbox here.

                                    Edit: Works MUCH Better for Batocera than Recalbox as far as the reset while in emulationstation.

                                      @SgtJimmyRustles I can add a --kodi switch to the script. So that Batocera and Recalbox can launch KODI if you press the reset button in ES main screen ;) I think this will complete some wishes and gives new opportunities to these systems ;)

                                        That's actually a good idea honestly.

                                        But that should be an optional setup, I like the idea of being able to restart ES quickly to load up new games I've transferred. I don't really use Kodi on my Pi as I have an Nvidia Shield that I use with it if needed.

                                          @SgtJimmyRustles Yes of course. The restart is the default option but if you change the python script intead of

                                          os.system(scriptDir + "/recalbox_SafeShutdown.sh --restart")
                                          

                                          You set the --kodi switch ;)
                                          I recently build a small media center with the BATOCERA system and I would like to play some games and want a Media center. So it's a small gift to myself ;)
