      Is it at all possible that the script has even temporarily been on a Windows/Mac drive or been through Windows/Mac software?

        Yeah. I have it saved on the RetroPie, but I opened and edited it through Samba and use Notepad++, save it, then reload emulationstation.
        Only reason I did that is because for some reason when I try to type a poun sign(#) on the command line on the Pi, I get the symbol for a Euro. xD or well it looks like a Euro symbol.
        I can always SSH into it and do it that was it that would work since it's still creating it on the Pi itself.

            You crazy Brits with your kooky keyboards and Spotted Dick. Actually, you'll have to forgive me. The only knowledge I have of the region comes from 'King Ralph'.

              I'm actually from the US. xD Mine just isn't set to be US.

              When I try this, it doesn't save. Mine has an extra step I don't see in your video about asking what my Model of Keyboard is. It's a Logitech Wireless Keyboard. So i'm running through most the logitech options now.

              EDIT:
              Keyboard is working properly. Had to do a restart. Going to try to add the script in manually now.

                @Exmix keyboard type doesn't really matter. Default 105 keyboard works fine.

                  Update:
                  So I manually added Moonlight.sh to the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/ directory.
                  I try to run it, it says:
                  sh: 1: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/Moonlight.sh: Permission denied

                  SO I try to do a:
                  chmod +x /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/Moonlight.sh

                  It tells me:
                  chmod: changing permissions of /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/Moonlight.sh : Operation not permitted

                        Q-Bert couldn't have said it better. I'm glad to see this resolved. A while back, I was helping someone out with a similar issue for launching DOOM wads from ES and I believe this might have been the same problem. I'll have to track that post down & point it back here for reference.
