        @cyperghost so how would i go about using that link you sent me in SSH?

        Also will this override my retroarch settings?

            @pjft so i deleted kids mode manually and now its under reg emulation station, under the current new version (idk how since it didnt even fully update) but it doesnt have the favorite "X" button under game list?

            Edit: It also doesnt have Favorite's only when i press select

                  @red2blue You can use this
                  https://github.com/crcerror/emulationstation-binary-archive/blob/master/PI2and3/emulationstation2.3.1RP %40pjft %40hex favorites and powersavings v2

                  This is a merged branch of Powersavings and Favorite
                  But it's not official!
                  You can download and must rename it later to emulationstationand copy it to opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation

                      @red2blue That are precompiled binaries.
                      You SSH as root and exchange binary old with binary you have downloaded

                      Rename it to emulationstation and copy it to opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation

                      Make it executable and you can use this. Meanwhile I try to compile the official branch!

                              1. type wget https://github.com/crcerror/emulationstation-binary-archive/raw/master/PI2and3/emulationstation2.3.1RP%20%40pjft%20%40hex%20favorites%20and%20powersavings%20v2

                              3. type chmod +x emulationstation

                              5. type sudo reboot

                              does this allow it so i can press "X" to favorite a game?

                                @red2blue No not X, it's Y.
                                Favorite must be enabled in options Menu > Custom Selections... You'll see if you press START on Controller.

                                You'll see. I tested the approach posted above in my PI and it works flawless.
                                These binaries are only for a Pi2/3!!. If you have a Pi1/0 they do not work!
                                But keep in mind, that is an unofficial branch!

                                  Binary for official branch of favorites was compiled - that was EUREKA hard
                                  download for PI2/3 system is here!

                                  https://github.com/crcerror/emulationstation-binary-archive/blob/master/PI2and3/emulationstation2.3.2RP_favorite

                                  @pjft Thank you for your efforts. That seems to work very very nice.
                                  But we @red2blue and me ran into diffculties to compile that.
                                  I manually cloned the git master and then used cmake & make. No chance for official way or script @hex and @meleu

                                      As mentioned in several occasions across the forums, you really need quite a bit of memory to compile ES, so you need to exit ES in the first place, and then run RetroPie-Setup and update from source.

                                      cd ~/RetroPie-Setup
                                      sudo ./retropie_setup
                                      

                                      And then choose to Manage Packages > Core Packages > EmulationStation > Update from Source.

                                      The Binary should not be updated.

                                        @pjft I did this
                                        Entered via SSH and killall emulationstation
                                        checked also with ps -a there was no running process in relation to ES
                                        and then used sudo ./retropie_setup

                                        My PI compiled to 100% and did not link the binary. Then I lost network connection and the status LEDs were green and red were permanently on! Maybe bad current! But I just had success by manual steps. Can someone please provide checksum of binary?

                                        Mine is 4,803,320 byte
                                        CRC32: 7B30D56E

                                          To comment on the stalling compilation when updating from source:
                                          I've tried compiling on my Pi3 and stopped when it appeared to hang at 87% after an hour or so.

                                          When I set the CPU/GPU memory split to 16MB for the GPU (via raspi-config), compilation succeeds in about 25 min.

                                          Note that you need to set the split back to something sensible after compilation (256MB for the Pi3).

                                          If tetris has thought me anything, it's that errors pile up and that accomplishments dissappear.

                                            good catch.
                                            Can you please provide CRC32 checksum?
