@cyperghost @pjft okay killed ES, and made backup just in case.

does this feature come with the latest build on emulation station?? so i can still use the new favorite system?

Update from source. I think that in a couple of days you can get it updating from binary. But since the PR was merged a few hours ago, I'm not sure if the binary version was updated.

@meleu told you already

red2blue

@cyperghost @pjft it froze again at the same line 86% with emulationstation killed... wtf..

cyperghost

@red2blue What's the output if you type ps -a
I'm on 90% of compiling I can upload binary to my github archive! And you can copy it back! Even if this is not the recommended way.

red2blue

@cyperghost how do i do that

And yeah i'd appreciate that.. this is starting to get annoying

red2blue

the outcome is

PID TTY TIME CMD
917 tty1 00:00:00 bash
2184 pts/0 00:00:00 ps

cyperghost

@red2blue It should work....
Well please hold on for a few minutes. I can provide binary
https://github.com/crcerror/emulationstation-binary-archive

Man yesterday I sweared I'll never compile anything. 12hours later I break my rules

red2blue

@cyperghost so how would i go about using that link you sent me in SSH?

Also will this override my retroarch settings?

red2blue

@cyperghost ??????/ idk how to import what you just gave me dude

red2blue

@pjft so i deleted kids mode manually and now its under reg emulation station, under the current new version (idk how since it didnt even fully update) but it doesnt have the favorite "X" button under game list?

Edit: It also doesnt have Favorite's only when i press select

cyperghost

@red2blue Sorry I can't compile
I'm stuck at 100% binary will not be linked!

red2blue

@cyperghost regardless i dont even know what to do with the link you gave me. I tried everything for the last hour...

All i want to do is press x to favorite a game.. idk how recalbox had this months before retropie and its still not functional lmao

cyperghost

@red2blue You can use this
https://github.com/crcerror/emulationstation-binary-archive/blob/master/PI2and3/emulationstation2.3.1RP %40pjft %40hex favorites and powersavings v2

This is a merged branch of Powersavings and Favorite
But it's not official!
You can download and must rename it later to emulationstationand copy it to opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation

red2blue

@cyperghost again, i dont know what to do with the link you sent me.

cyperghost

@red2blue That are precompiled binaries.
You SSH as root and exchange binary old with binary you have downloaded

Rename it to emulationstation and copy it to opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation

Make it executable and you can use this. Meanwhile I try to compile the official branch!

red2blue

@cyperghost bro youre speaking another language to me. can you please do step by step with commands

red2blue

i give up

cyperghost

@red2blue

That can't be done ad-hoc! Sorry!
Please SSH in, with user Pi
got to home directory with cd ~

If you are on windows mashine I can recommend WINSCP for graphical exploring data structure.

EDIT: to official branch
SSH with user: pi // password: raspberry

Enter folowing commands:

cd ~
wget https://github.com/crcerror/emulationstation-binary-archive/raw/master/PI2and3/emulationstation2.3.2RP_favorite
mv emulationstation2.3.2RP_favorite emulationstation
chmod +x emulationstation
sudo mv emulationstation /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/
sudo reboot

Please hold on...

type wget https://github.com/crcerror/emulationstation-binary-archive/raw/master/PI2and3/emulationstation2.3.1RP%20%40pjft%20%40hex%20favorites%20and%20powersavings%20v2

type mv emulationstation2.3.1RP\ @pjft\ @hex\ favorites\ and\ powersavings\ v2 emulationstation

type chmod +x emulationstation

type sudo mv emulationstation /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/

type sudo reboot

does this allow it so i can press "X" to favorite a game?

cyperghost

@red2blue No not X, it's Y.
Favorite must be enabled in options Menu > Custom Selections... You'll see if you press START on Controller.

You'll see. I tested the approach posted above in my PI and it works flawless.
These binaries are only for a Pi2/3!!. If you have a Pi1/0 they do not work!
But keep in mind, that is an unofficial branch!
