  4. From the EmulationStation main menu, press Start, navigate to Game Settings, and select Update Gamelist.

Update

Note

Grout's built-in updater does not support ArkOS yet, so updates must be done manually.

To update Grout, simply download the latest release and replace the existing Grout folder and Grout.sh in /roms/ports/. If you have made any custom configurations, ensure to back them up before replacing the folder. Be sure to keep the config.json file if you do not want to authenticate again, and configure platforms folder mappings again.
