Just add it as a Port in the ports folder.

Create a .sh script that will start the game and put there the commands needed to start the game. Restart EmulationStation and the .sh script will show up in the Ports system, from where you can launch your game.

You could install a port from the setup script and it’ll create one for you at /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports. I would assume you could just create your own folder there but not sure if there’s anything else that would need to be created for it work? Installing from the script would make sure everything was made and you could always delete the other game after the folder was made.
