How to add icons on the homescreen that link to emulators?

Here it i…can’t sleep because of the heat :slight_smile:

STEP 1:
Make a new file in:

/home/cpi/apps/launcher/Menu/GameShell

and name that eg.:

Galaga.sh

then edit that file and put this command line in:
retroarch -L /home/cpi/.config/retroarch/cores/fb_alpha_libretro.so /home/cpi/games/MAME/galaga.zip

In my example I use the: fb_alpha_libretro.so core to play GALAGA…
GALAGA is located in the folder:

/home/cpi/games/MAME/galaga.zip

Hope this explanes the commandline so everybody can use it with there own favorite games

STEP 2:
make an icon for the launch menu and place that in :

/home/cpi/apps/launcher/skin/default/Menu/GameShell

Name it (in my example given) Galaga.png

Hope it works for everybody…
