Someone created an add-on linked in this thread somewhere to help with this problem. Was quite a while back but can't remember when. Had some relation to Aeon MQ7? skin.
Found it.
LE8 "Remix" (Generic/RPi) Emulationstation/Chrome/Spotify PROVIDE LOGS IF PROBLEMS
Thanks Hoffy, I figured it out....I was updating libreelec and it was removing the files. Once i re-installed and did not update libreelec the script was still there for me to add XBMC.System.Exec(/usr/bin/emulationstation.sh) ...actually decided to use XBMC.System.Exec(/usr/bin/emulator-frontend.sh) which tells it to use both retroarch and emulation station. It worked out, during this process i actually learned to build my own builds completely with all kinds of custom add on widgets
