I have Retro Pie 4.6
Raspbian Stretch
Raspberry Pi 3B+
Solar Power Bank with 5v 2a USB

Power bank won't be providing a stable enough power source. Better to get a proper psu. I recommend the official Pi one

I used a wall adapter 5v 3a and it still has graphical errors

Can you post a picture or describe it in more detail - where do you press Start: in EmulationStation or after the game is started ?

[hackedmacbook111]

This is on retropie and I press start with USB SNES controller in menu where all emulators located

[hackedmacbook111]

In Emulation Station

@hackedmacbook111 Can you post the EmulationStation's log file from \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_log.txt and the configuration file from \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_settings.cfg ?
Use pastebin.com to post them.

The sd card that has Retro Pie on it is a premade sd card
Would it be easier to backup current sd card and make new copy of retro Pie on the sd card

You haven't stated where your SD card image came from. It may be the source of your problems.

Since you upgraded your 4.5 to 4.6 and are still on Stretch, you should really consider just rebuilding from scratch with a fresh 4.6 official image. (The new 4.6 distro uses Buster, not Stretch.)

Is there a way to upgrade raspbian stretch to buster with existing sd card
I don't want to backup if I don't have to I barely have enough space to store a 64GB backup of a 64GB Retro Pie sd card

Look at you, still NOT answering the question where you got your original image...

No, you cannot upgrade Stretch to Buster without starting over.

You could, but as I said beore, it's not recommended and - assuming the OS upgrade works - you might get issues later with your system.

I bought a premade retro Pie sad card back in March

There we go. Game over. Third party images are not supported.

[mitu]

@hackedmacbook111 Yeah, figures. We don't support 3rd party images and selling RetroPie preloaded is against the project's license.
Go ask the vendor for support - if you want support here in the forums, please install the image from retropie.org.uk/download.

Unsupported. Please reinstall the official image or ask the person you bought it from
