@mitu my english is bad and when I type this text into the translator, I can't understand anything, could you send me a video or something else and write it easier?

@konrad_ziom Hi mate, if you look at the "Installation" section on the GitHub page mitu posted (https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra#installation), the grey box contains the 4 commands you need to run to download and install the RetroPie-Extra script.

Each of the 4 lines in the grey box is a separate command.

Exit Emulationstation to access the terminal and then run each command, one at a time, starting with "cd ~".

Once you've run all 4 commands, the scripts for installing RetroPie-Extra packages will have been added to the RetroPie-Setup script. You can access the updated RetroPie-Setup script via the RetroPie menu in Emulationstation or by running the 3 commands in the "Usage" section on the GitHub page.

Hope that helps.

I even understood, but I wonder why there is something for download on github? Do you have to upload it somewhere or what do you have to do with it?

The Pi can install it directly from GitHub. This part here:

git clone https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git

is the command for the system to download the package.

@thorr69 Thanks!

@thorr69
I have one more question, where to enter all these commands?

Is this no longer available?

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git

I get the following response:

Cloning into 'RetroPie-Extra'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git/': GnuTLS recv error (-54): Error in the pull function.

I don't understand Github so I don't know what that means.

I'm just trying to install Tiny Fugue anyway possible.

Cheers. :)
