      Hi! I recently got the itch to get back into retro gaming and was looking to update my old retropie. The OS is Raspbian Jessie and on package updates I was getting warnings that it was no longer supported. I searched the documentation and all I could find was info on how to update packages. My challenge is that I would prefer to keep my roms / screen previews / scores and other preferences intact. Is there a small number of paths I could copy off to a network share, wipe the card, reinstall a fresh retroarch and then just copy the paths back over and voila? If so could someone share what those paths are? (and any other helpful tips re: the task in front of me). It's a 3b.

      Thank you!
