Problem with accessing retropie menu
-
So this is my first time posting. Everytime i go into the retropie menu and i try to go into anything like raspi-config, retropie setup. Basically everything in the retropie menu won’t work. It will just load and then kick me back to the retropie menu.
Pi Model or other hardware: B+
Power Supply used: Canakit power supply
RetroPie Version Used: 4.2 I think, I can’t check
Built From: Pre made SD image from official Retropie website
USB Devices connected: none
Controller used: PS4 Controller
Error messages received: none -
Also I know nothing about coding
-
PLEASE SOMEONE I NEED HELP
-
Use a recent image - like the 4.4 release, 4.2 is over 2 years old.
-
@mitu I can’t, I literally can’t even connect to wifi
-
Do i have to literally have to reinstall it on the sd card?
-
@idk To install the 4.4 image, yes - you'll have to install it again on the SD card. You can backup your ROMs first - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#making-a-backup-option-2 - then write the 4.4 image on the sdcard.
-
@mitu so im using a mac so how do i erase the stuff installed on the sd card
-
@idk How did you write the image in the first place ? https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/#installation.
-
@mitu I downloaded the image from the retropie website and used etcher to install retropie on the microsd card
-
@idk you dont have to erase the card. When you install the new image, etcher will format the card.
-
@edmaul69 wouldn’t that mess up the micro sd card. Because there would be 2 retropies
-
@idk no. It completely formats the card erasing the old one.
-
-
Actually how do i update retropie
-
@idk From the
RetroPie-Setup
menu entry in Emulationstation - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/.
