      Hey!
      I searched a while now, but don't found any answers.

      If i boot my pie, on the screen, where you select the system, it always starts at FBA.

      I noticed this changes, if i add some new roms, for example, if i had not any GB-games and i add some, then the pie starts on another system, for example snes.

      This seems to be complete random, but never changes until i add new roms/a new system.

      Is it possible to start always over the same system? Even if i eventually add some new stuff?

      I need to configure the pie that it always boots over the "ports".
      So my wife can go directly to kodi without searching the ports entry.

      Thank you!

        @machinehater Two things, First the system that defaults upon opening Emulation Station is whatever one is first in your es_systems.cfg file - this is located in /etc/emulationstation/. This is defaulted to be sorted alphabetically, so FBA must be the first system you have ROMs in. You can change the order of this by editing the xml file. If you do this it will be overwritten whenever you update. So, copy this file into /home/pi/.emulationstation/This copy will override the default and any changes made will stick. Bear in mind if you do this you will need to maintain this file manually.

        Second, you can add Kodi as its' own entry on the carousel. This also involves editing the es_systems.cfg file. Instructions here https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/KODI
