@mitu ah. so basically, pull my roms and bios folders out, overwrite the card with the new image, out bios and roms folders back?

tobas

@mitu I'm sorry, I'll post it when I get home. thanks for the help so far.

tobas

@drakaen391 I'm sorry I'm such a noob, but if I do the sudo apt-get upgrade, will that overwrite my entire SD card? or just update retropie?

Drakaen391

@tobas it will only update the programs

tobas

@drakaen391 alright, well I'll try that first then before taking more drastic measures. thanks again.

@tobas what about the detail requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first? These are essential.

tobas

@rbaker I am work so I do not have those at the moment, I will post them later on

tobas

just doing a image backup and then I'll check all the details. thanks again fellas

tobas

anyone know where to find the run command log?

tobas

@tobas [Removed] I see now. gonna restore my image since I [Removed] everything up and I'll post a log

tobas

this is probably a dumb question..but, how do you make the circle symbol after the wget part?

This is an all-ages forum. Please watch the language.

@classicgmr ugh. right. sorry.

tobas

@classicgmr funny, it says SafeShutdown.py installed...but it doesn't safely shut down? aand now the power button will turn it on, but won't cut power anymore.

I'm so upset right now. this sucks.

tobas

so after much thought, I've decided to copy my rom, bios, config, and splashscreen folders to a backup drive. reflash my SD with 4.4, and then plop them back on.

does that make sense? will my setup look essentially the same as it did before?

tobas

@Drakaen391 what do you think? will it look the same if I flash my SD with 4.4 and plop the roms, bios, configs, and splashscreen folders back on the SD?

Drakaen391

@tobas you would have to run the first start up...

But once you do that then put the roms and such back on...

Configurations will be changed, but that’s an easy fix

mitu

@tobas Take a backup of your image first, just in case.

tobas

@mitu @Drakaen391 definitely. I have an image backup and I'm making a backup of the 4 folders now. I did notice that the config wouldn't copy over for the most part but that's the least of my worries.

as long as the roms and menus and save games are okay. it took FOREVER to get my turbocd section just perfect. well most of my rom sections really, it's been a year or so worth of tweaking things I don't think my brain could handle it if that got nuked.

from what I can tell it'll probably take about 24 hours total to copy everything over my network, and then pop it back on over the network. I wish there was a quicker way :(

so I'm guessing once 4.4 is in place that script should install without any issues. either that or I'm gonna end up in the looney bin.

wish me luck fellas
