This version of EmulationStation is targeted mostly for ease of access from the couch. List of added features are: -OSK (On Screen Keyboard) -Gamelist GridView. (puts games in a grid view) -Wifi connecting a scanning from ES. (needs wificonnect put in ~/.emulationstation/app/wifi) -Storage view -Several other smaller UI changes.

Raspberry Pi users: This build is targeted almost specifically for you! You can just copy in this compiled version over the current emulationstation. Get the pre-compiled version below.

Download

Download a pre-compiled version at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByWG5kDXyr5NeEtWQ2J2eGVrdk0/view?usp=sharing Wifi Connecting needs its own file put into ~/.emulationstation/app/wifi (you'll probably have to create the directory) Get it here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByWG5kDXyr5NQWZKYmVScGpaQk0/view?usp=sharing I will be making that easier to where ES will get it automatically.

Building

** from the original project **

EmulationStation uses some C++11 code, which means you'll need to use at least g++-4.7 on Linux, or VS2010 on Windows, to compile.

EmulationStation has a few dependencies. For building, you'll need CMake, SDL2, Boost (System, Filesystem, DateTime, Locale), FreeImage, FreeType, Eigen3, and cURL. You also should probably install the fonts-droid package which contains fallback fonts for Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters, but ES will still work fine without it (this package is only used at run-time).

On Debian/Ubuntu: All of this be easily installed with apt-get:

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-locale-dev libfreeimage-dev libfreetype6-dev libeigen3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libasound2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev build-essential cmake fonts-droid

Then, generate and build the Makefile with CMake:

cd YourEmulationStationDirectory
cmake .
make
