      Hello, I have seen online that some people have been able to add Kodi and Raspbian to the "menu" of RetroPie similar to one of the gaming system icon selections rather than embedded within Ports. I was able to fine one command sequence online, however it did not work. Has anyone been able to do this successfully?

          I actually have Several themes made for my ports and dosbox games this way. Doom collection, wolfenstein collection, lesuire suit larry collection, police quest collection, etc., etc. i used to have one for kodi when i tried it out. Just be careful on file sizes when you create the theme. There is a kodi theme for carbon as well.

            @BuZz thanks, but I had tried this previously. When I get to "Kodi-Standalone" Kodi launches and I can not enter the last command to make Launch script executable.

              Why can't you do the last line ? Do you mean it gives an error ? Do you have your roms on a USB stick ?

              if you change the xml from <command>%ROM%</command> to <command>bash %ROM%</command>

              it wont need to be executable.
