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>

<command>%HOMEPATH%.emulationstation\systems\Fusion\Fusion.exe "%ROM_RAW%"</command>

</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The version from emulationstation.org is old and no longer maintained.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? -
@GoldenSword This version of Emulationstation knows how to display videos, but in order to show them you have to
- Add
video
tags for the games to thegamelist.xml
file used by Emulationstation. This is usually done by a scraper - try Universal XML Scraper or Skraper. - Use an Emulationstation theme that supports the
video
tag and configure the layout of the theme tovideo
so that videos are shown. Most RetroPie included themes for Emulationstation support video - here is a list of them.
- Add
