If you followed the instructions to install the [FloppyBird](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/lets-play-floppybird/1433) game you can skip the steps until making the gamefolder for snake. Open Retroarch on your gameshell Select Load Cores Select Download Core Select Chailove Quit Retroarch Connect your device to your gameshell with SSH Lets move the core to the emulators folder. (If you use another folder to save your downloaded cores navigate there) > mv ~/.config/retroarch/cores/chailove\_libretro.so /home/cpi/apps/emulators Make a folder for the game (start here if you allready have FloppyBird installed) > mkdir ~/games/Snake Navigate to the games folder > cd ~/games/Snake Download the Snake.chai file > wget [http://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/cores/ChaiLove/Snake.chai](http://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/cores/ChaiLove/Snake.chai) Make the .sh file > nano ~/apps/launcher/Menu/GameShell/Snake.sh > (change Snake if you want another name in the menu) Add: > retroarch -L /home/cpi/apps/emulators/chailove\_libretro.so /home/cpi/games/Snake/Snake.chai Save and quit [![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/3/3a6ca07e3a6e8d36ebd42a86c22d4166c3266a05.png) ](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ocr-junky/GS_Icons/Icons/Snake.png) Move the icon to ~/apps/launcher/skin/default/Menu/GameShell > cd ~/apps/launcher/skin/default/Menu/GameShell > wget [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ocr-junky/GS\_Icons/Icons/Snake.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ocr-junky/GS_Icons/Icons/Snake.png) Make sure the icon has the same name as the .sh file. In this case Snake.png Reboot and have fun ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Watch out pressing the opposite direction of the way you are moving, it will kill the snake instant. ---

Thanks! I think you forgot `chmod +x ~/apps/launcher/Menu/GameShell/Snake.sh` ๐Ÿ™‚ P.S. Although, you might not need it as it runs with `/bin/sh /home/cpi/apps/launcher/Menu/GameShell/Snake.sh`. ---

For me it worked flawless without chmod the sh file. If You have trouble booting snake doing the chmod to the sh file seems a good idea. ---

From the picture it looks I played this game before:thinking: well quite interesting when you get your old version game. From this, at the childhood, I also like to play Super Mario game on the big system I remembered. Has somebody tried this game ever?
