      I entered retropie config today and noticed a message pop up that said the fkms ri4 branch was merged into the master branch, and that I would have to merge into the master branch because the version I’m using will be deleted soon.

      Two questions: 1. What does this mean? 2. How do I do this?

      I am fairly new to linux as well as retropie, so learning how this style of software management/updates works (figuring it out slowly but surely). Thanks so much for your time.

        1. It means you've been using a development branch of the RetroPie-Setup script and that branch (version) will be deleted, so you'll not be able to update in the future.

        2. From the command line, execute the following:

        cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup
        git reset --hard
        git checkout master
        

        OR

        cd $HOME
        sudo rm -fr ./RetroPie-Setup
        git clone https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup
