lets say i want to install nano on there, sadly there is no package manager there, im able to install it in the menuconfig but how do i install apps to device without recompiling retroleap? (my device is lf1000 (leapster explorer)

First off you need your executable for the linux environment. Idk what you need to install but thats the basis. Anyways once you have your executable you can either copy it to /urs/bin or /bin using winscp or scp on linux and execute it from the explorer menu by pressing a or whatever button on the executable

Edit: i think you can execute the command you wish from your computer after copying the executable to the device:
ssh -i ~/sshflash/keys/id_rsa root@169.254.6.1 '#your-command-here #arguments-here'

2nd edit: if you execute a command on your device instead of computer, enable logs in the settings to see output

3rd edit: Also if you don't want to keep using your computer to keep adding apps, once you download the zip, go in the tar.gz your device supports (mine is leapster explorer so i go in the lf1000_rootfs.tar.gz archive, from there you click . then you can go to /bin or /usr/bin and copy the file over or extract, add, then compress

Hope this helps! @cornflakes6374
