I will continue to solve this problem next week, will Check where the Files of 3.8 get installed to, i think something has changed concerning the paths.
No, they haven't changed. Try to update from source and then check the build log in
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/logs- pick the last log file there and upload its contents to pastebin.com to see the error. -
When you try to exit the emulator, does the confirmation window have options for saving and loading a state? If so, you're actually on 3.8. Anecdotally, I noticed something similar with 3.7, where it was identified as being 3.6 in the menu and when the version number was requested from the command line. However, I had all the features that 3.7 was supposed to have, so I just assumed it was a versioning error of some sort.

@mediamogul maybe, that would make sense.
I had this exit menu with the options of saving and loading save states, but changed it in the config-file (secureexit=0) because i did not want that.
I am a highscore-hunter and dont want me or other s using my image cheat this way.This option was introduced with 3.7, so it does not affect 3.8.
But nethertheless, i also thought that maybe Andrea (the creator of AdvanceMame) has forgotten to make 3.8 visiable in the latest update. -

Ah, you're right. In fact, those were likely the features I used to visually identify 3.7 from 3.6 in the first place.

Actually, there is a problem and it's good you've caught it. Building the latest 3.8, compilation fails with
[..] obj/mame/linux/blend/advance/linux/mevent.o obj/mame/linux/blend/advance/linux/jevent.o advance/linux/jevent.c: In function 'joystickb_setup': advance/linux/jevent.c:413:25: fatal error: joverride.dat: No such file or directory #include "joverride.dat" ^ compilation terminated. advance/emu.mak:570: recipe for target 'obj/mame/linux/blend/advance/linux/jevent.o' failed make: *** [obj/mame/linux/blend/advance/linux/jevent.o] Error 1 [...]but the install script doesn't detect the compilation failed and then moves over to the install && configure steps, thinking the installation succeeded.
Will see how to fix that.EDIT: Reported also at https://sourceforge.net/p/advancemame/discussion/313512/thread/e394fb57/

@mitu great you caught it, thank you so much!! 😎

Jools updated the scripmodule and the installation from source should work now. I don't know if the binary package was also updated. As @dankcushions said, the compilation from will take some time..

I can confirm that binary build is still 3.7 but it's fixed a lot of my graphic size issues wish I tried it sooner!
Build from source still not working for me.

Update your Retropie setup script first, then install from source.
