RGBPi-Extra

RGBpi-Extra is a UI that allows you to apply a collection of unofficial scripts, install new systems, and allow for full retroarch access for RGBPiOS. The system overrides are advanced features that require manual configuration. These scripts are experimental in nature and may not be fully stable. The concept for creating this repository was inspired by RetroPie-Extra and represents a collaborative effort across multiple parties within the RGBPi community.

Thank you Ruben for your guidance so that RGBPi-Extra does not affect the RGB-Pi highscore community.

I have found new scripts made by other people and added them to this Repo. I dont take credit for any of them, other then the ones I made.
