        @speedy-da-doge You cannot 'port' arbitrary games to the RetroPie, the game needs to either compatible with Linux or supported by one of the Emulators/Ports included in Retropie. In this case the answer is already given - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/14479/sonic-mania

          And the source code needs to be available and some sort of genius needs to Port it from Windows to Linux. Sonic mania: not a chance

          If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/
