Retropie Software Update Issue

T_Oldskool

Reformatted my SD card & installed my original back up.

I still have the same issue, having to remap controller, go in to a game, come back out &
it's frozen..

Any help would be appreciated.

Tony.

you might have to delete the lr-glupen64 script
sudo rm /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-glupen64.sh
to update the script (but again, you may be limited by your older raspbian version), but really you're so outdated now it's going to be difficult to support. retropie 4.1 is 3 years old!

Hi, thanks for the reply, I'm not an expert on these things, how do I go
about deleting that script ?

Was having a google search to see if anyone else had the same issue
& found this :

I have a theory that this is related to the AudioManager not reinitializing after returning from a game. I fixed that just this morning - could you try updating ES and see if that fixed it?

(To update, cd into your EmulationStation directory (~/RetroPie/supplementary/EmulationStation with RetroPie), run git pull then make.)bolded text
italicised text

As I said, I'm no expert would need an idiots guide on how to make
these changes.

Thanks,

T.

On another note, what is the latest raspberry pie to buy ? probs be best if
I just buy the latest one as the one I have is 3 years old.

you need to enter the command I gave in the terminal ("quit emulationstation"). i don't think it's anything to do with the audio manager.

i don't think you need to get a new pi, just reinstall a fresh image.

I Dan, sorry to sound totally inept here, how do I go about entering / deleting these
commands ?? I'm to sure where to navigate to on the Pie...

dankcushions

@T_Oldskool the menu you use to shut the pi down. hit 'start' (i think) within emulationstation.

Typed in above and result is cannot remove no such file or directory

@T_Oldskool

You could put this is the terminal:
cd ~/RetroPie/supplementary/EmulationStation

The tilde (~) acts as a shortcut to your "home" directory...normally /home/pi. (All this does is change directory you are in so I'm not telling you to do anything dangerous.)

@IanDaemon to what end? this isn’t the issue with the updates.

yeah that’s worked properly now. the offending file is deleted. now you can try and update your retropie setup script, and then try a full retropie update.

T_Oldskool

Ahhh pants, tried to update script and it’s saying my
Memory card is full, but I’m sure its not.
Have tried expanding the memory but no luck, ahhhhhh

@T_Oldskool you've used 28GB of 29GB (100% of usable, apparently). 4th line.

Before I tried to update to the latest retropie version, I made an iso backup before I did the update. When I did the update, it never work, so reverted back to my original iso, however I’m sure there is no way there is 32gb worth of content on that card, any way I can free this up?

@T_Oldskool A backup of the card will be a bit-wise copy of it, so it doesn't take into account how much space is free. You can backup your games/setting by copying them from the RetroPie system, then re-image and copy them back.
