Safe shutdown looses game saves on Recalbox #80

When using ingame saves (not the snapshots), turning off while still in the game results in the loss of the save, as it is normally written on disk only when returning to the main recalbox menu.

The safe shutdown should first return to the main menu before actually shutting down.

I found the answer to my own question: instead of using the shutdown code from this repository rather use the following one

https://github.com/crcerror/retroflag-picase

It's also listed on this repository's readme but the wording made it seem look like it was only for retropie but it is compatible with recalbox as well.

Still it would be nice if retroflag's script's default behavior for recalbox was more like that as in its current state the game saves will be lost when turning the case off without exiting the emulator first. Not such a safe shutdown!
