I think it's worth noticing that this new build uses ~/.emulationstation instead of ~/.config/emulationstation for the config files. Moving the folder (or its contents) will migrate your settings properly; there doesn't seem to be an incompatibility of any kind.

I thin installing vlc is sufficient. That's quite a weird dependency.
I'll add it to the PKGBUILD later today.

Managed to compile it by installing libvlcpp-git from AUR (but it installs tons of unnecessary stuff).

Finally got the build to run. The patch is already integrated in the RetroPie fork. The crash on startup I had with some null exception is gone.

https://github.com/Herdinger/EmulationStation seems to be unactive, no commit in 9 months (as of 04/2017).
Maybe you should take a look at https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation, the development is still active.

@merlinux I'm going to include this patch, I'll do my best to track upstream for any possible issues. But given the length of time for any updates... yeah.

I made a patch to fix ES in built scrapper which doesnt work with PSP anymore. I think this is due to a recent change of thegamesdb API platform name for the PSP... Only a guess as I have been using ES for a short time... Herdinger hasnt been merging anything on github for the last 6 months so I didnt even bother making a PR there. Best bet is to include the patch in the PKGBUILD itself.
Anyways here is the code :

From what I see, config files are put into ~/.config/emulationstation
So all I did is:
$ cd
$ ln -s .config/emulationstation .emulationstation
done.

Same here, isnt creating a config file on first start and complains about it.
