ty for answering.
I downloaded it from the official website
i followed this guide:

i did what he said and set the config and when I entering to emulationstation and try to scarp it says " no game is found".
this is my system config file - <!-- This is the EmulationStation Systems configuration file.
All systems must be contained within the <systemList> tag.-->

<systemList>

<system>
<name>genesis</name>
<fullname>Sega Genesis</fullname>
<path>~/.emulationstation/roms/genesis</path>
<extension>.smd .bin .gen .md .sg .SMD .BIN .GEN .MD .SG .zip</extension>
<command>%HOMEPATH%.emulationstation\systems\Fusion\Fusion.exe "%ROM_RAW%"</command>
<platform>genesis</platform>
<theme>genesis</theme>
</system>

</systemList>

sorry for my english... :(

The version from emulationstation.org is old and no longer maintained. The RetroPie version uses an up-to-date fork of this version, that's what is supported in the forum.
If you wish to use the RetroPie version, then you can download a pre-compiled version from https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases and try it out.

@mitu
just 1 more question :)
how can I customize the program like adding short videos to the games ? its possible?

[mitu]

@GoldenSword This version of Emulationstation knows how to display videos, but in order to show them you have to

1. Add video tags for the games to the gamelist.xml file used by Emulationstation. This is usually done by a scraper - try Universal XML Scraper or Skraper.
2. Use an Emulationstation theme that supports the video tag and configure the layout of the theme to video so that videos are shown. Most RetroPie included themes for Emulationstation support video - here is a list of them.
