## STEP 1:
Make a new .sh 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 so the first `/home/cpi/.config/retroarch/cores/fb_alpha_libretro.so`
is just a link to the desired core to play your favorit game
GALAGA is located in the folder:
`/home/cpi/games/MAME/galaga.zip`
so this links to the game that you're directing to
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`
## Similarly, if you would like to make folders do the following:
1. Add a folder to launcher/Menu/GameShell/20_Retro Games/ (example SNES with snes9x2010 core)
2. In that folder create a file called action.config
3. In that file it should contain: (this is an SNES example)
ROM=/home/cpi/games/SNES
ROM_SO=/home/cpi/apps/emulators/snes9x2010_libretro.so
EXT=sfc,smc,zip
LAUNCHER=retroarch -L
TITLE=SNES
SO_URL=http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/snes9x2010_libretro.so.zip
Then place your thumbnail in launcher/skin/default/Menu/GameShell/20_Retro Games/ (example SNES.png)
