Guide used: I referred to the package help section under the xash3d-fwgs emulator in the experimental section.
Files: client.so
Emulator: xash3d-fwgs
How to replicate problem: When you run the Half-Life.sh file it seems to load up the emulator, but a few seconds later it crashes back into the Ports menu of games.

@ExarKunIv I downloaded the xdash3d-fwgs emulator first. I purchased the Half-Life files from Steam so that they could be installed on my PC. I proceeded to copy the valve folder into the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/xash3d-fwgs folder. Next, I attempted to launch the appropriate emulator, but three seconds later it crashed and led back to the menu screen listing all of the games available in the Ports section. I attempted to re-install the xash3d-fwgs emulator, but the same error message I checked in /dev/shm/runncomand.log was produced.

Should I do anything with the client.so file or any other files within the valve folder to launch the game correctly? I would like to try purchasing Blue-Shift and Opposing Force eventually, so I can use these expansions with the same emulator. Is there another emulator that will run Counter-Strike as well? Thank you for your assistance.
