      @hackedmacbook111 said in How can I fix Retro Pie with graphical errors:

      Is there a way to upgrade raspbian stretch to buster with existing sd card
      I don't want to backup if I don't have to I barely have enough space to store a 64GB backup of a 64GB Retro Pie sd card

      Look at you, still NOT answering the question where you got your original image...

      No, you cannot upgrade Stretch to Buster without starting over.

        You could, but as I said beore, it's not recommended and - assuming the OS upgrade works - you might get issues later with your system.

            There we go. Game over. Third party images are not supported.

              @hackedmacbook111 Yeah, figures. We don't support 3rd party images and selling RetroPie preloaded is against the project's license.
              Go ask the vendor for support - if you want support here in the forums, please install the image from retropie.org.uk/download.

                  Unsupported. Please reinstall the official image or ask the person you bought it from

                      @hackedmacbook111 Please see above. Reinstall from the official image and you'll get some assistance in the forums.

                          @hackedmacbook111 all of this info is the documentation. Please go back, read the info for first setup and how to run ROMs etc from USB and see how you get on. Then come and ask for some help. Most of what you ask will have been covered in the docs.

                                  Edit: I see now you are using an unsupported image, you should start over with the official image and you won't have these problems.

                                      They now sell retro pie preloaded with games with retro pie 4.6 and raspbian buster
