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 Nyancat 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/NyanCat Lets download the game > cd ~/games/NyanCat > wget [GitHub - ocr-junky/ChaiLove-NyanCat: 😸 NyanCat on ChaiLove](https://github.com/ocr-junky/ChaiLove-NyanCat) Make the .sh file > nano ~/apps/launcher/Menu/GameShell/NyanCat.sh > (change NyanCat if you want another name in the menu) Add: > retroarch -L /home/cpi/apps/emulators/chailove\_libretro.so /home/cpi/games/NyanCat/ChaiLove-NyanCat/main.chai Save and quit ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/e/ec8d4258d6c89a34e9aee9a3f88c6d0b59a4aaa7.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/NyanCat.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ocr-junky/GS_Icons/Icons/NyanCat.png) Make sure the icon has the same name as the .sh file. In this case NyanCat.png Reboot and happy watching the rainbow cat 😃 ---

I can’t get it to boot for the life of me. I tried chown and chmod. Tried the steps twice. Just boots back to launcher. Any tips?! ---

Fixed! I had to download the zip and extract the files myself. Not sure why, but hey! Hooray! ![image](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/0/09e3b77d4ff309db687e978e9d1216433ef397dd.jpeg) ---

I included a screenshot) I’d also like the “Nyaned for xx seconds” to not be there. ---

Just edit the main.chai. > nano ~/games/NyanCat/main.chai (adjust if you saved the main.chai in a other folder) Edit to Resolution from > t.window.width = 340 > t.window.height = 260 to > t.window.width = 1020 > t.window.height = 780 To remove the text delete this from main.chai > ``` > // Text at the bottom. > var scoreInt = 2 // Port the time to an integer. > scoreInt = time > var text = "YOU'VE NYANED FOR " + to_string(scoreInt) + " SECONDS" love.graphics.print(text, love.graphics.getWidth() / 2 - activeFont.getWidth(text) / 2, love.graphics.getHeight() - activeFont.getHeight(text) * 4) > > ``` To move the cat more to the right side of the screen adjust > catX = love.graphics.getWidth() / 2 - images[0].getWidth() / 2 to > catX = love.graphics.getWidth() / 1.3 - images[0].getWidth() / 2 The result looks like this: ![main-181019-175314](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/2/28b291859b6b523c015bb64271480b06c6b26732.png) ---

There is a simpler way to do the nyancat thing because you can directly grab it on the retroarch’s build-in app store! Try the following steps: Open Retroarch on your gameshell Select Online Updater Select Content Downloader Select Chailove Select NyanCat.chailove (also update the Chailove core if you haven’t done so) Go back yo Main Menu Select Load Content Select the Downloads folder Load NyanCat.chailove Happy nyaning~~!!

Thnx dude! I was actually experimenting last night with x location and the res, and got the same conclusion as you. I put catX at 1.25 ---

Thanks for checking out ChaiLove and having some great ideas of how NyanCat can improve 😊 Just pushed up a fix to make it so that when you push the Start button, it’ll show/hide the text. Feel free to push up more updates through Pull Requests! [https://github.com/RobLoach/ChaiLove-NyanCat](https://github.com/RobLoach/ChaiLove-NyanCat) ---

``` t.window.width = 640 t.window.height = 480 catX = love.graphics.getWidth() / 1.6 - images[0].getWidth() / 2 ``` would be better.
