    @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.

                                        @RedBatman Try increasing or decreasing the VRAM in the menu options. I had this and it sorted itself out after I increased the VRAM to 120. Try it from 70 - 130 in increments of 10, You will need to reboot after you change it each time.

                                          @AlexMurphy well I set my VRAM to 200 and that seems sort of fixed it, I still get the white box but after I scroll through all of them once after I get out of a game the white box flicker goes away.
