## Usage
I have a Raspberry Pi. The installed operation system is raspbian. The Kodi package runs pretty well as a media center. The remote control is an App on a smartphone. So no other controller is needed.
After couple of month I found this great [RetroPie](https://retropie.org.uk) project. There is also another great one which brings it on a software level instead making a boot image. It's called (EmulationStation)[http://www.emulationstation.org]. The setup with my preferred PS3 controller and the configuration went well and it worked fantastic. The game console works perfect and brings me back to the good old jump'n'run 90s but now with big screen and cool wireless controller!
But one thing was an issue. I wanted to use the same hardware and don't miss my system (raspbian). Dual boot is not cool and takes too long. So basically what i needed is some kind of trigger to end any X11 processes and start Retropie

In my configuration Kodi runs as default. Media center is still the primary usage. But the idea was to take the PS3 controller press some button combination and the EmulationStation will apear. After I played enough, just press this buttons again and media center will apear back and I can put the PS3 controller back.
Main purpose for this development is a switcher between Kodi and Retropie with the PS3 controller.
