Idea: Generate a wide range of packages that will install and integrate automatically with EmulationStationS. There are however a limited selection of software that is shell only to choose from.

An option would be to add X11 software. Alternatively, LXDE can be removed completely.

i think it would be great to be able to add my own games (if i get around to doing it on the pi, ive made games on psp(Lua) and then moved on to pc with various languages) but lets say i make pong in python with pygame or c++ with sdl would it even be possible to add them into emulationstation?

We already use X applications like basiliskii without LXDE with XINIT <application> or STARTX <application>. There should be a new scriptmodule because emulators.shinc and libretrocores.shinc don’t fit. Any idea? applications.shinc, games.shinc?

What about “xapplications.shinc”?

Should be possible. Cave Story runs natively on the Pi. You’d probably just want go into .emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and create a new entry using the Cavestory one as a starting point before eventually pointing it at your own game.
