      Hello There!
      I picked an dsektop on Intel 2.4Ghz x2, RAM 4GB, SSD 128GB.
      There Ubuntu 18.04 + RetroPie + Cody + Steam.
      So, I want to add the games from Steam to the RetroPie custom collection.
      How can I do something like this?
      Or at least how can I add a link to the Steam in the Ports collection?

        You can add the Steam games into Ports with a simple script in the ports rom folder, with the name of the game:

        #!/usr/bin/env bash
        
        /usr/games/steam steam://rungameid/{GameID}
        

        where you can find out the {GameID} of the game from https://steamdb.info/apps/. Once it works, you can add it to the Steam collection.

          Is there a script option that will check all installed Steam games and add them to the list?
