Unable to update to Retropie 4.8

Shin Kusanagi

Hi all,

I am fairly new to the retropie scene so I figure that I come here for some help. So I have:

Raspberry PI 4 (8gb)
Retropie 4.7.1.9 (premade image from the RetroPie website)
SD boot (not using USB Boot)
Microsoft 360 wired controller
Argon One V1 case
Official Raspberry Pi 4 micro hdmi cable
Official Raspberry Pi 4 power adapter

I am trying to update my version of Retropie 4.7.1.9 to the latest 4.8 and I get the following:

"error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by merge:
scriptmodules/emulators/yabasanshiro/sh

please move or remove them before you merge."

I have installed yabasanshiro from source via the experimental packages in the retropie setup a few weeks ago.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

@Shin-Kusanagi it looks like you had previously added a custom yabasanshiro module, before it was officially added to the scripts in January, or else have modified the existing file after it was added. Just delete your existing ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/yabasanshiro.sh file (or move it to a safe location somewhere else, for backup), so the setup script can replace it with the official one from the git repo.

@sleve_mcdichael Oh ok. Thank you for the advice. I'm very new to this so please excuse my ignorance but how exactly do I move the file or delete it? Is there a command I can use or do I have to go into it's folder?

sleve_mcdichael

@Shin-Kusanagi ...well, how did you do it the first time? To be clear, did you modify or add the custom yabasanshiro module, or is there something else going on here?

Shin Kusanagi

@sleve_mcdichael Yes I did add yabasanshiro emulator using the command from the developer himself:

cd ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dev...
chmod 755 yabasanshiro.sh

My apology for being unclear.

sleve_mcdichael

@Shin-Kusanagi yes then you simply need to delete that file. The commands to do that would be:

cd ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators

rm yabasanshiro.sh

...or, as a one-liner:

rm ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/yabasanshiro.sh

Then, you should be able to update RP, and it will fetch the current latest official version of the module.

@sleve_mcdichael Thank you so much!!! I will definitely give this a go once I returned home from work.

edit: It works and now I am able to update to 4.8. Thank you so much!!!
