@tobas you would put

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

the first will make sure the lists are up to date (should always be done before install or updates)

The next line is to update any outdated file including retropie

tobas

@drakaen391 could I download the image, transfer it over through my network connection and install it over my existing image?

Drakaen391

@tobas nope, the new image is a full overhaul and requires a fresh install.

If you upgrade to 4.4 you would need to start very fresh

Drakaen391

also, unlike a PC, the bios and other items for the Pi to run, is on the SD card... so its not possible to install fresh images like you would on a PC

tobas

@drakaen391 so...in order to upgrade, I would have to lose all my roms, saved games etc??

mitu

@tobas No, you could transfer those over to your PC or on an USB stick, then transfer them back on the new system.

mitu

@tobas Please post the info requested https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

tobas

@mitu ah. so basically, pull my roms and bios folders out, overwrite the card with the new image, out bios and roms folders back?

tobas

@mitu I'm sorry, I'll post it when I get home. thanks for the help so far.

tobas

@drakaen391 I'm sorry I'm such a noob, but if I do the sudo apt-get upgrade, will that overwrite my entire SD card? or just update retropie?

Drakaen391

@tobas it will only update the programs

tobas

@drakaen391 alright, well I'll try that first then before taking more drastic measures. thanks again.

rbaker
