In RetroPie, the moonlight-embedded variant is used and it's installable only for ARM boards (Raspberry Pi in general). While it has more features, the -qt variant might not offer many advantages for Pi users.

Did you test it on a Pi ? Does it work better than the -embedded version ?

@NelloHD said in Error after Update setup Script:

I honestly don't understand where to check the version.

You can check the log file produced during the update, it should be one of the log files in $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs. Find the file (they're time-stamped) and you can view it with zless $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs/<filename>.gz

how do i restore?

You can checkout a specific - major - version with

cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup git checkout <version>

You can also rewind to a specific commit in time with

cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup git checkout <commit-id>

but you need to know the commit-id.

@mitu
No i didn't,
and thank u

@mitu thx for this, work perfect

For anyone who may come across this same problem, to solve it I had to set everything up how I needed it including BIOS roms configurations, and only once I was happy did I run all of the updates and all appears to be working normally again now

@TMNTturtlguy I've replied on the ticket. Exit es if building from source. Swap shouldn't fail if being used heavily. Sounds like sd card problems, but could be os. I don't want to add more swap as it would mean large swap file being created when not needed in many cases (with the current calculated swap size code).

@laephis glad it's sorted. Good to know some people upgrade ok from old versions :-)

@herb_fargus Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, coming from a MS DOS/MS Windows background I'm certainly not a linux expert so I'm constantly being surprised at the small nuances here and there. I suspect formatting as EXT2/3/4 would help, but that would defeat my purpose of then having it easily readable/accessible on my desktop (which is non-Linux). :)

I did hack away with OSX Fuse this morning to read a EXT4 partition from a previous backup of mine on a Macbook (it seems the retroarch update must have either removed the previous shader folders I had, or changed their locations, so I'm going to copy them back).

I had mounted this manually from back in 3.6/3.7, and it has always worked perfectly asides from these chown errors which I take are par for the course using FAT32 in the current set up :)

No big deal anyway, it's always fun. Thanks everyone!

@YourMomNova if you have a slow micro sdcard system updates can take a long time.
