      @mitu Possibly python-pygame? I installed this as a way to get background music playing in ES. Aside from that, everything else is stock.

        @jaconey Probably already fixed it or did it another way but ...

        I completed the upgrade to stretch via the means mentioned above and had the same 2 errors. vlc and libboost so

        sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

        and Manage Packages

        then Manage Core Packages

        then emulationstation

        Update from binary

        and reboot. fixed.

              The update took forever, probably was less time than it would have to start fresh though. The update process did end with an error, unfortunately I cant remember now what it was due the fact it completed at around 2am and I was exhausted. When I rebooted it wouldn't load ES it failed on libboost_date_time.

              I couldnt even run retropie_setup.sh and get to any update screen after the upgrade to stretch Nevermind ES. I would get errors saying:
              "You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
              The following packages have unmet dependencies:"

              So i took its advice and i ran "sudo apt - - fix broken install" afterwards I was then able to run retropie_setup.sh, go to update, it updated everything, was able to do a reboot, and boot right into ES. I then took my sd card and put it in a 3b+ pi and it booted perfectly.

              Just letting everyone know what happened to me and how i made it through the upgrade process. Hopefully it helps others.

                I also wanted to add that i have an error while exiting the bluetooth config screen saying unit sixad.service could not be found. i read that bluetoothhd (i think is what it was called) and sixad cannot run at the same time. so how do you go about fixing this issue?

                  Just followed this guide to get my SD card ready for the switch from Pi 3 to 3 B+ and it worked! The safe shutdown/reset buttons on my Nespi case also work! Stoked!!

                    ok so i followed these steps as close as i understood, but after all the steps I'm still on jessie? I didn't really loose anything other than shader preferences (that i noticed), so I'm restoring from a backup and starting over rn. Where do i go to change the word "jessie" to "stretch"? when i run the first line of code theres nowhere to edit sources.

                          @raibura hi, did you ever find a solution for this?

                          Sorry for asking in such an old thread but you are the only person I have found with the same problem as me. Thank you
