      The only part I understood was that the date is wrong.

        Try setting the date from the internet

        sudo systemctl stop ntp
        sudo ntpdate 2.debian.pool.ntp.org
        
        # Check the date again
        date

              @edgarsv Try installing the ntpdate command with

              sudo apt-get -y install ntpdate
              

              and then retry to set the date.

                I did what you told but the date didn't change saying 8 Jul 15:48:38 ntpdate[1531]: no server suitable for synchronization found

                  @edgarsv Try with the well known NIST time server:

                  sudo ntpdate time.nist.gov

                    That didn't work either... Is there a way to set by my self? What could the reason for it not founding the servers?

                      @edgarsv You can set the date with timedatectl - see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Time#Set_system_clock. But I suspect the problem is that your internet connection is not working correctly, RetroPie would have set the time and date automatically from the internet.

                        Probably easiest to just start with a 4.4 image - Jessie support will be dropped by us in the future anyway.

                            Should I change retropie's version to 4.4? or try to replase raspberry pi zero to raspberry pi 3?

                              Is that the solution for me?
