      Hello,

      How can I configure RetroPie to boot in to EmulationStation and automatically launch Kodi from port screen 1 time after each boot?

      I want to have Kodi on start and to be able to switch to emulationstation, but all my attempts failed:

      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/324/start-kodi-with-emulationstation-link/12
      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1608/keyboard-joystick-does-not-work-after-going-from-kodi-to-emulationstation/6

      As when I try to launch EmulationStation from Kodi controls are not working, and YES, Kodi is not running.

      But when EmulationStation launches Kodi and then I exit Kodi controls are still working.

      Is there easy way to modify /etc/profile.d/10-emulationstation.sh to do this or any other file?

        Did you search the forum ? :) https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/617/kodi-autostart-from-emulationstation/4

        Then you can just exit Kodi and it will load up Emulation Station.

        This script will be changed soon to /etc/profile.d/10-retropie.sh and it will call another file which will contain what to run - this will make it easier to change what is launched on startup.

          It appears I used wrong key words for that :)
          At-least I was on the right track regarding /etc/profile.d/10-emulationstation.sh
