      @lynn If it's a 2D game, then you could try the Love engine. The site is down at the moment due to the hard drives failing on their server.

      Info on installing Love as well as adding some games can be found at: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Love/

            Hi guys, im new to this so im getting someone to help me write the game development code and i've got the concept but how can i install the my game into retro pie and get it work?

            Appreciate for pointers on how can i do it like which code will be the best to use with retro pie and do i just install the game on the SD card and boot up the machine ?

            why not just use the retroach framework to write your game in that way it can work on retropie and all retroarch systems

                If you are paying someone to code a game for you my only advice would be dont pay a penny until the games is done. There are a lot of people online that will be willing to take your money and do nothing in return.

                  @grant2258 fully understand the risk there, if i source for developer in my country it's very expensive with my limited budget :(
