      Does this only happen for freshly scraped roms? like do a regular quit, shutdown after scraping then can you use the power down button scripted?

      Or does that delete everthing that was saved on the safe shutdown?

        @meleu sorry for the delay, family stuff. Copied the commands exactly as you have them and this is what I have. http://dumptext.com/52QE0b16#

          @vaca2097 one of those commands were wrong (my fault). Can you try it and post again?

          the command I'm interested now is:

          cat /etc/systemd/system/killes.service

                @vaca2097 please, do the following:

                1. boot up your RetroPie and wait for EmulationStation
                2. add some games to your Favorites
                3. go to another computer and connect to your pi via SSH
                4. perform this command: bash -x /etc/killes.sh 2> debug.txt (it will kill your EmulationStation)
                5. that command generates a the file debug.txt, grab this file and paste its content in dumptext.com
                6. restart your pi (sudo shutdown -r now) and check if your Favorites were saved.

                post here the dumptext link with that debug file.

                    @meleu was that the right file? I can't really make any sense of it.

                        Does anyone have any further suggestions before I give up on this?
