@lowlevel1989 this no longer seems to install from the retropie script module. How can I get this to install on my retropie setup?

@RynoRoe What errors do you get when installing the package ?

The previous messages are showing the actual error. Try to post them also, along with the your setup info as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
