[ SOLVED ] Quit EmulationStation Disable

imfa1se

Hi there everyone, I'm new to Retropie and EmulationStation. I tried a few searches for quit menu, exit menu, disable menu. I have been trying to figure out How to Disable Quit EmulationStation to shell. This way when my kids have to shutdown the pi3 they stop going to quit having it goto shell and then just shutting it off. I don't want to corrupt the SD card. Can I remove that option or disable ? All I could find way --no-exit but that didn't seem to disable or I didn't add it right. Would greatly appreciate some help.

Thanks in Advance

@imfa1se Have you looked into the kids mode build of Emulation Station?

Have a quick scan of its features in the wiki and see if it'll do what you're after. It can be installed from the RetroPie setup menus.

That I have not I will look into that, thanks for mentioning.. I did come across this article

https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues/203

But cannot seem to get it working properly..

@imfa1se Where did you add the --no-exit parameter? The locations on the github conversion you posted are probably old/obsolete now. If you want to disable quit to shell you probably should be doing it in the file /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh

Although as @markyh444 mentions, the kids mode ES may do everything you want.

/usr/bin/emulationstation thank you :) I will try that later on very much appreciated.

Will definitely look into kids mode as well. Cheers @synack

@synack

autostart.sh says the following

emulationstation #autostart

Tried adding it after that I must be typing something wrong lmao

UPDATE - figured it out.. Found this from @meleu

"/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh" --no-exit "$@"

thanks guys :) much appreciated for everything
