      @RedBatman to update from source do the following:

      exit to the command line terminal

      cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup
      sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
      

      Then follow @AlexMurphy instructions above starting with manage packages.

          @RedBatman Don't worry as long as it doesn't throw any errors at you. Just let it do its' thing.

            Only concern is the red thermometer symbol popping up, Should I buy a fan?

              @RedBatman Only if you really need it. My Pis tend to run at about 50-60 Celsius, give or take. Get a heat sink and take the lid off and let some air flow over it. They can get warm when being stressed but I wouldn't worry too much.

                  @RedBatman Just take the lid off then and let some air at it. When the Pi is updating it is working pretty hard.

                        @RedBatman I take it you are in North America. It could just be the local servers are busy at this time. What time is it on the east coast , 9:20pm?

                                  @RedBatman And you definitely updated from source and not the binary?

                                        So I guess I should wait for an official release of retropie?

                                        No I'm not seeing that I'm seeing a white box flicker over the console logos.

                                            @AlexMurphy Zoid, Carbon, Turnakafan, pretty much any except for the comic book one.
