A small tutorial would be so nice :)

@trekdrop are you on the latest version of retropie?

also did you copy the script here?

/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary

if you're logged into ssh as user pi
you can essentially type

nano /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/emulationstation-gridview.sh

and then copy the script and right click in your ssh window (which should paste it)

press ctrl+x

press y

press enter

then you should be able install it from experimental from the setup script

trekdrop

Yeah I did that plus I copied the file the author had on his Google Drive.

herb_fargus

@trekdrop if you're using the script you need to compile it manually from source

Then in the gamelist view you press select to change it to grid view

trekdrop

That's probably really difficult.

So I tried copy the real emulationstation file and still nothing...

Can you still advice me what to do?

It's a shame I can't get it to work this and game vids where the two thinks I really want.

herb_fargus

@trekdrop it's really not difficult. You open the setup script select emulationstation-gridview and press compile from source.

All the same the latest changes have problems of its own duplicating boxart and other things.

trekdrop

Sorry for the dump question but do you mean.

I go to the setup script from retropie.
Go to experimental packages.
Go to grid view.
And than compile from source.

Or do I need to open the sh file and then
compile from source.

herb_fargus

@trekdrop retropie setup>> manage packages>> manage experimental>> emulationstation-gridview>>compile from source

you need the latest retropie for it to work

trekdrop

I am really stuck! I think I will do it one time from the start. Because I really don't have the option grid view in the setup menu.

trekdrop

So, now I am just stuck.

I made the sh file copied everything still there is no option to install the grid view inside experimental packages.

This one is on the right place right?
