      I would like to play my html5 games in retropie so I can have more of a game console experience. Can I use ports to launch a electron game app in retropie?

        Generally speaking html5 games (or any web-based games for that matter) run like sludge on the pi.

        I dont know what electron games are

        If you are looking to port it Likelihood it will be a bit of manual work to port as most ports will essentially be starting from scratch. You can go the formal multiplatform route with C++ and SDL etc. or you can look into the love engine which has a pretty decent community for development but the game has to continually be developed to keep up with the love engine versions

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/
