      Using Raspberry 3B.
      With Retropie 4.1.12
      Updated everything (scripts, packages) today.
      Installed Kodi.

      I used this website to make Kodi as a standalone menu:

      https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/KODI

      I still have Ports and when i pick Kodi in main menu it jumps into Ports
      where KODI still exists and I have to choose that to open Kodi.

      This seems wrong.

        @Retro666 If you have Kodi as a standalone system, you will still need to enter it to launch. You can manually remove the Kodi.sh launch script from ports by removing it from roms/ports

          Hi

          Awesome fast respond.

          I have Kodi as a standalone item next to "RetroPie" and "Ports" but when I select that "A"
          it acts like a shortcut sending me into the "Ports" menu where I have to choose KODI again to open it.

            @Retro666 yes. That is how all the systems work. You select the system which takes you to a gamelist which you select to launch.

              I see

              What happens if I remove Kodi.sh from roms/ports?

              Please tell me what to wright in comm prompt (Linux and Retropie is so new to me, like 2 days)

              P.S. I have read as much as humanly possible about Retropie but I have never been a clever man.

                @Retro666 if you remove Kodi.sh the whole system will disappear.

                    @Retro666 you need to learn C++ and recode emulationstation to accomplish what you are trying to do.
