      First I would like to apologize as I do not know how to make the code I've posted below actually appear as code, I will edit my post once someone in the know tells me how to do so as [code][/code] didn't work :/

      My current system is as follows:

      Pi Model: 3B
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.02
      Built From: RetroPie 3.8 image updated to 4.02
      USB Devices connected: Keyboard + Mouse
      Controller used: PS3
      File: /opt/retropie/ports/easyrpgplayer/bin/easyrpg-player
      Emulator: Easyrpgplayer

      I've been playing around with EasyRPG Player (RPG Maker 2000 and 2003 Interpreter) which I installed from the ZeroJay-Extras, and I would like to make it it's own system on the main screen of EmulationStation. However before doing so, I've been trying to figure out how to make a shell script to launch games directly, rather than having to go through the EasyRPG Player menu and select them. The reason for this is because I would like to manually add in Metadata, I've already collected the images and info to do so, but I'm having no success in creating a shell script to launch a game without using the EasyRPG Player menu.

      I admit, I'm still fairly new with linux and shell scripts and the like, I've tried before to make several copies of EDuke so that I can launch different .GRP files, but failed miserably. I'm hoping someone here can help me with this issue for EasyRPG Player though, as I have about 60 games and not having a description or image makes it hard to determine what the game is when it's my kids or someone else using the system aside from myself.

      The emulators.cfg for EasyRPG Player are as follows

      easyrpgplayer = "cd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/easyrpgplayer/games/; RPG2K_RTP_PATH=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/easyrpgplayer/data/rtp2000/ RPG2K3_RTP_PATH=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/easyrpgplayer/data/rtp2003/ /opt/retropie/ports/easyrpgplayer/bin/easyrpg-player"
      default = "easyrpgplayer"

      I've tried making a shell script to run from ports (for testing purposes) which contained:

      /opt/retropie/ports/easyrpgplayer/bin/easyrpg-player /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/easyrpgplayer/games/FFENova/RPG_RT.exe

      This brought me to the menu I wanted to avoid and also did not find any games (I do find games when I click on the existing shell script that was made with the EasyRPGPlayer Install)

      I created another shell script which contained:

      "cd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/easyrpgplayer/games/; RPG2K_RTP_PATH=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/easyrpgplayer/data/rtp2000/ RPG2K3_RTP_PATH=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/easyrpgplayer/data/rtp2003/ /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/easyrpgplayer/games/FFENova/RPG_RT.exe"

      This one simply kicks me back to the game selection screen.

      I've tried several different variations of this with no success. I'm hoping that some kind soul here can point me to some documentation or perhaps tell me where I'm going wrong here? I would greatly appreciate it! :)
