      FWIW it is currently only in the development branch of emulationstation.

      Leave Emulationstation.
      ssh with account pi to your pie:

      sudo su cd Retropie-Setup

      Then you will have to do the "three chord":

      ./retropie_packages.sh emulationstation-dev sources #1 ./retropie_packages.sh emulationstation-dev build #2 ./retropie_packages.sh emulationstation-dev install #3

      If you want to adjust the delay do use this line before proceeding to step 2 and 3.

      Backup your data - see Option 2 of how you can backup - and re-install.

      Scraped data is kept in one of these places:

      the ROMs folder (if you've used an external scraper). the \\retropie\configs\emulationstations\downloaded_images folder, if you've used only the EmulationStation internal scraper(s).

      So if you take the advice in the docs and back-up your ROMs and configs folders, you should be able to keep your games and scraped data.

      @ClassicGMR Aha. I suppose that happened some time ago, because right now the scraper doesn't work with the new TDGB API/Site. You might want to re-scrape those entries (or the whole list) using another source site (ScreenScraper) or - if you have a recent Emulationstation - scrape them using the internal ES scraper (from either TGDB or Screenscraper).
