      @mikes82

      I make sure to keep a backup of my build as an image file incase my kids mess anything up.

      I also disable the launch menu for the games in options run command.

      And for mame I map the mame config menu to the keyboard as they don't use the keyboard.

      And using kids mode.

      I ended up making a seperate kids only setup and getting my kids a pi of their own and backed up their setup so if they do somehow manage to break it I can just rewrite the image.

      They didn't want much content just some of their favourites and kodi

      helloThere

      @mattrixk Something I'd reccommend are the NDS Lego games, cause they're not just point and shoot games, but sometimes involve some simple problem solving. I'm enjoying playing Lego Star Wars and Lego Harry Potter.

      I went ahead and reinstalled the modified version over top again, and it's working right now. I wonder what causes it to lose it's functionality by simply updating some scripts...

      Strange new problem happened when i installed Retropie 4.1 and then Es-kids.

      When i have roms from mame2003 in libretro-mame folder or arcade folder es wont start and boots to cmd line. This don't happen with regular es.

      So, the random select seems to be working, and displaying the subfolders from what I can see. Great!

      However, now when I select Shutdown System, it goes to a black screen with a blinking _ underscore instead of shutting off.

      Edit: the same thing happens when I F4 out to he command line. The command line never appears, only the blinking underscore and black screen.
