RE: Change what loads on startup/boot?
Now with the above change to auto login, and adding emulationstation into a .profile script it will run at startup now. I also included the modification to es_config.cfg as mentioned here http://blog.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/raspbian-retropie-xbmc/ by superkoal to allow any sh file to load from this menu. My sh file will start the xbmc service which is fine and then superstation will come back up. If you exit at this point the service is running in the background but you forever lost your direct screen output. I wonder what I could be missing? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

With this last step, I will have been able to setup RetroPie on startup and selectively start xbmc as well all from joystick selection using the emulationstation menu as my driver if someone can help me through this last hurdle.

ok now with the following sh file executed from emulation station you quit emulationstation before running the service it works!!!:

#!/bin/bash
output=`ps aux|grep em\[u\]lationstation`
set -- $output
pid=$2

kill $pid
sleep 2
kill -9 $pid >/dev/null 2>&1
sleep 2

sudo service xbmc start
