EmulationStation quit scripts not firing in v6 Empty EmulationStation quit scripts not firing in v6

Hello team,

Thank you for the continued work in improving Retrobat with new features in v6.  

I use the EmulationStation "scripts" folder to run batch files when certain events occur, such as to update LEDBlinky on my arcade cabinet as games start, stop, or Retrobat shuts down.  This all worked well in v5, but after upgrading to v6, I am noticing that my batch files in the "quit" folder (C:\RetroBat\emulationstation\.emulationstation\scripts\quit) no longer run.

You can test this with a simple "test.bat" file placed in that folder with contents:

Code:
echo Testing > output.txt

Then run Retrobat v6 and shut it down and you'll see no "output.txt" file seems to be created, whereas it would in v5.  Putting the same "test.bat" file in other folders like "game-start", "game-end", etc. all do seem to execute the batch files ok.

Could you please check into this for the next update?  I use the "quit" batch file to ensure all the arcade control LEDs go off when no longer in Retrobat.  

Thank you for your help!
