@braxdabozz Please fill out all the info requested - including the RetroPie version and how you installed it.

[braxdabozz]

@mitu i have version 4.7.1, and i am using a 2.5 amp power supply. my sd card is 16 GB.

[mitu]

Are you connected to the internet from your Pi ? Does installing other packages or updating RetroPie works ?

[braxdabozz]

@mitu I am connected to the internet, but I can't update or install anything.

[mitu]

Then maybe you're not really connected to the internet, but only to your network. If you exit EmulationStation and type

ping retropie.org.uk

from the command prompt, do you get a reply ? You can interrupt the command with Ctrl + C.

@mitu i will try that

[braxdabozz]

@mitu it says network is unreachable

@mitu oh i figured it out, my parents have an internet filter, and my pi's internet is off. thanks for the help!
