Fresh install of 4.6 and updates
-
Hi,
I recently restarted my Retropie project from scratch on a Raspberry Pi 4, after too many tweaks being made trying to improve N64 playability without success.
My quick question is, since the 4.6 official image is a couple of months old, if I really want to make sure to start from the best basis, does it suffice to run the «update packages»?
Does it covers everything there is to update? And are there things worth updating from source to get latest improvements (especially if regarding n64 performances)?
Thanks for your guidance.
Sorry for not disclaiming many informations, as I even hesitated to post in the «support» section, since it could have been just a discussion...

i would, but generally you shouldn't update unless there's something specific you want. and, as always, take a backup.

see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#binary-vs-source-updates
the best thing for n64 improvements is patience. some good improvements should be in the coming weeks/months.
