            I will as soon as I can. I’m pretty busy at the moment.

              not much different here. looking at your script and figuring out what was going was easier since you did a good job making it and i just got done working on another script. so i was in that mine set :D

                I was able to get successful install. However the game did not work. This is my runcaommand log:

                Parameters: 
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/xemu/xbox -r 3 -i "/home/retropie/RetroPie/roms/xbox/ATV Quad Power Racing 2.iso"
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1322: /opt/retropie/emulators/xemu/xbox: Is a directory

                My guess is that either the emualtor can't find the BIOS or we are using the wrong command to start it.

                      @Unknown script is now fixed, but it will not run on the Pi5, the Pi5 does not have OpenGL4.0 and that is a requirment.

                      not sure if there is a way to force it to run on a lower version or something different.

                      here is the new script for you to mess with.

                        Getting ready to test as we speak. Out of curiosity, what prevented it from working previously?

                          It starts and the emulator seems to load but then it geneates this error.

                            We had it trying to run Xbox not xemu. So it was trying to start a folder. Lol

                            I have xinit in there since I was testing it on my pi. And that's what we need.

                            Since it's for PC. That part can be removed.

                            As for the error. I don't know. That's something I can't help with since I don't run Retropie on PC. Sorry

                              The game booted. I didn't have time to test it further but it actually started the emulator. here is the updated script.

                                  @ExarKunIv thanks for the help. I don’t know if I could have done it without you. I have a little more testing to do before I submit a pull request. I also need to get the controls configured.

                                      If you have any pointers on configuring the controls. Please let me know

                                      You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

                                        @Unknown the only thing I have used is Xboxdrv

                                        That's what I use on my PIs for custom controls.
                                        If you are on PC then I think something that maps controls should work

                                          update: after doing a little configuration the game doesn't boot. I think I messed something up in the settings. Probably selecting the wrong bios or something.

                                          I will keep testing. If anyone knows what I did wrong please share your input.
