      can someone give me a tutorial on how to install pico8 on emulation station?
      I know there is a tutorial here https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=3935
      but the tutorial looks like its for linux operating systems and is a bit hard to follow in my opinion.

        @shadowblitz16 The tutorial you linked is exactly for RetroPie (which is running on Linux itself) and explains how to add a new system in Emulationstation and add a command to run the emulator. It doesn't look that complicated - it's mostly explaining things as you go along - and you can probably skip the Carbon theme modifications and just

        • Copy the emulator in place
        • Add a new system for Emulationstation (modifying es_systems.cfg)
        • Add the start script for the emulator (/home/pi/pico-8/+Start PICO-8.sh) which is like 4 lines.

          by emulator you mean the linux version of pico8 right?
          where do I copy it?

          edit: also there is no es_systems.cfg tried doing a search on my pi on both network and by editing it with nano on the pi itself.
