Upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2, time?
-
Wow, didn't know there was a difference btw source and binary. Ok, I just cancelled the update, reflashing my backup from yesterday, and will start again from binary. Thanks for the feedback, everyone!
-
It should take just a couple minutes. Don't update from the source, I hit that one accidentally two days ago.
-
@PetroRie Still updating?
-
It about 4hrs for mine to update. Phew.
-
How do I update just retropie not emulators

From source it took just way too long, I decided to pull out the power plug and restart the Pi. Dangerous move but nothing happened.
-
@PetroRie I pulled the plug, reinstalled from a backup. Took out all experimental stuff and source installs, and tried again. Still took 4 hrs.

So strange, like 5-10 mins to me

Maybe it's your SD card. What kind of SD card are you using? Is this the first time that you're using the update option or did you update in the past too?
-
@PetroRie It's the first time I ever have done this. My microSD card is class 4 which might explain the slowness.

That could explain it, I think you might fight this article interesting:

For RetroPie they recommend to use a class 10 card.

@PetroRie Thanks for the article. Aside from the slow update, games load and run perfectly.

Just out of curiosity whats your internet speed?

60mb down, 25mb up. It's fast enough.
