    @meleu
    Yes It's working with D-Pad A and B

    Really neat! :-) It seems to be a cool RetroPie feature, because if you launch the script directly from command line you can't use joystick for that.

    pkill -n emulationstatio always kills the newest process that the short version what my script exactly does. With all advantages and disadvantages - but the shortest script ;)

    Maybe we can make a video like this below replacing pumpkin by emulationstation:

        I think one is a binary, two or three are scripts, and the others were launched in an infinite loop inside some of those scripts.

            @meleu @cyperghost I tried to create the restart function as a separate choice from the menu, thus you first pick an option for which config file to load and then choose to restart. I tested with several of the variations of the restart command and each time I get similar results. The script works fine, but after running it, the start/quit menu runs an auto restart, no different than when the restart command is within the actual config change function. I am at a loss, like charlie brown waiting for the great pumpkin to appear :)

              @TMNTturtlguy what's the version of your RetroPie-Setup? It must be 4.2.8+

                    @cyperghost Wow! We're looking like a bunch of murderers... There are many threads showing that there are many ways to kill EmulationStation. And I suspect the most promising is this one.

                      I just checked the thread and I am not clear what edits you made today? We have gone through so many ways to kill (per @meleu) that i can't keep what codes are what, and what new possibilities you added/modified.

                      Thanks

                        @meleu That looks really promising ... But AS you know I am not a scraper. Indeed the caurosel view is fine. Maybe in not a far future all databases are setted to SQL and then it is easier to exchange ready scraped Databases. What do you think?

                        @TMNT in the thread are all working scripts listed inkl. how to and version numbering
