Open Retroarch on your gameshell  
Select Load Cores  
Select Download Core  
Select Chailove  
Quit Retroarch

Connect your device to your gameshell with SSH

> cd ~/.config/retroarch/cores  
> (If you use another folder to save your downloaded cores navigate there)

> mv chailove\_libretro.so /home/cpi/apps/emulators

> cd ~/games/

> git clone --depth=1 [GitHub - RobLoach/ChaiLove-FloppyBird: 🐦 Flappy Bird in ChaiLove](https://github.com/RobLoach/ChaiLove-FloppyBird.git) FloppyBird

> cd FloppyBird

> rm -rf .git

> nano ~/apps/launcher/Menu/GameShell/FloppyBird.sh  
> (change FloppyBird if you want another name in the menu)

Add:

> retroarch -L /home/cpi/apps/emulators/chailove\_libretro.so /home/cpi/games/FloppyBird/main.chai

Save and quit

Move the icon to ~/apps/launcher/skin/default/Menu/GameShell  
Make sure the icon has the same name as the .sh file. In this case FloppyBird.png

Reboot and have fun 😃

Thank you! It worked like a charm! The icon has to be converted to png format from jpeg.
