Adding new option to retropie menu

[mmfsilva]

Hello,

I was wondering if it's possible to add additional entries to the RetroPie menu (not as a new "console", but rather the RetroPie configuration menu which already has options such as "Bluetooth" and "Show IP address".

From what I've searched in the forums I was only able to find guides on how to create completely new menus as consoles, which is overkill for simply adding 2 or 3 more options.

Thank you in advance.

Add your .sh scripts in the $HOME/Retropie/retropiemenu folder and they'll be picked up and shown in the RetroPie system by EmulationStation.

@mitu That was surprisingly easy, I thought I needed to create empty .rp files like RetroPie menu did by default.

Thank you.

That is another option, but runcommand wouldn't know what commands to run for them without adding a separate scriptmodule. Using a .sh script is simpler and supported.
