        Here is how i did it with KODI.

        create an entry in the es_systems.cfg file so that Kodi will show up in emulation station

        add the following codeblock anywhere after <systemList> and before </systemList>:

        <system>
        <fullname>Kodi</fullname>
        <name>kodi</name>
        <path>~/RetroPie/roms/kodi</path>
        <extension>.sh .SH</extension>
        <command>bash %ROM%</command>
        <platform>kodi</platform>
        <theme>kodi</theme>
        </system>

        then make a kodi rom directory

         mkdir /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/kodi
        

        make a launch script:

         sudo nano /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/kodi/kodi.sh
        

        Edit kodi.sh & add the following lines:

         "/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ "kodi" ""
        

        save you changes

        Make sure the launch script executable:

         sudo chmod +x /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/kodi/kodi.sh
        

        type emulationstation to go back into emulationstation and kodi should be there as its own system.
