How can I fix Retro Pie with graphical errors
-
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.)

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.

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

I want to use a 16 GB Sd card with 32GB USB drive as replacement for 64GB sd card that was premade
Would I be able to have saves and roms on USB drive
and have os and emulators on sad card -
@hackedmacbook111 all of this info is the documentation. Please go back, read the info for first setup and how to run ROMs etc from USB and see how you get on. Then come and ask for some help. Most of what you ask will have been covered in the docs.

Could you link it
-
-
I still can't find section on USB loading

Edit: I see now you are using an unsupported image, you should start over with the official image and you won't have these problems.

Thanks this will help

@mitu
I contacted the develper of the premade sd card they said they installed retro Pie with raspbian stretch
They now sell retro pie preloaded with games with retro pie 4.6 and raspbian buster
