Is Emulation Station updated when RetroPie is updated through the configuration script?
-
I am wondering whether Emulation Station is updated when we update Retropie through the configuration script.
In particular, if it is indeed updated, does it update it to the latest commit available?
I am asking this because I am considering adding support for a theme background music to Emulation Station, but I am primarily thinking of this because I would like that in RetroPie.

@antoine There are 2 update options:
- binary - this will get the lastest pre-compiled version from the retropie.org.uk
- source - this will fetch the lastest stable version available in the ES repository (
github.com/retropie/Emulationstationhttps://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/tree/stable) and compile it.

Not exactly. It fetches the latest stable version. There is also a dev branch that can be installed from experimental for the very latest but unless you know what you're doing/are ok with potential bugs I'd just recommend the binary

@herb_fargus Totally right.
@Antoine so the source update refreshes from https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/tree/stable (stable , not master branch or ES). Corrected my 1st answer. -
@mitu @herb_fargus Awesome, thanks for your answers. Pretty handy features!
