          Use a recent image - like the 4.4 release, 4.2 is over 2 years old.

                @idk To install the 4.4 image, yes - you'll have to install it again on the SD card. You can backup your ROMs first - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#making-a-backup-option-2 - then write the 4.4 image on the sdcard.

                        @idk you dont have to erase the card. When you install the new image, etcher will format the card.

                          @edmaul69 wouldn’t that mess up the micro sd card. Because there would be 2 retropies

                            @idk no. It completely formats the card erasing the old one.
