      @red2blue All you have to do is update emulationstation from source in Retropie setup and it will have this feature as it has been incorporated into main repo

          I dont have any experiance with kids mode. is it a setting or a different install altogether. @meleu can you answer this

          Also can you help me on loading github requests pulls or whatever it's called onto my pi?

            @Hex Emulation Station Kids Mode is another type of Emulation station you can install, before.. thats what you were suppose to use for the favorites thing.

            a PR i would like to install would be yours, haha https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/pull/172

            So how would i do that?

              @red2blue My PR is currently in heavy testing. I would suggest you not use it unless you are confident enough to report and run test code on your system. Also I have not tested it with recently merged PRs so it might have some bugs. You can test out a clean build from my branch feature-powersaver using meleu's script

                  yes it is in testing that means it is ready for beta testing. The feature is nearly complete and only bug fixes are remaining if bugs are found.

                  You can use this script by @meleu : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/10626/es-devs-and-testers-this-tool-is-for-you

                  In repo : http://github.com/hex007/EmulationStation
                  in branch : feature-powersaver

                  The script will compile and give you an option to install.

                    does this feature come with the latest build on emulation station?? so i can still use the new favorite system?

                      Update from source. I think that in a couple of days you can get it updating from binary. But since the PR was merged a few hours ago, I'm not sure if the binary version was updated.

                        Correct. Also, if you install this, you'll lose the kids mode features.

                          @pjft @meleu I havent updated my PS branch so it doesnt have the latest commits with these systems. I will have to test the functionality after updating.

                          Have you tried the latest commit for PS? I have got the description scrolling. Can you verify the behaviour?

                              You can make backup of current binary emulationstationin opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/
                              If you like kids mode more then just copy it back.

                                  @Hex I haven't had the chance, apologies. Should be able to look into it in the coming days, potentially Monday in as worst case scenario.

                                  I'll let you know how it goes.

                                  Thank you.

                                            @red2blue you need to exit EmulationStation before updating.
