      Raspberry pi 3b+

      Trying to update retropi, unable to open any of the update or config menus, even after restart. A very long and fast list of errors displays, I did my best to catch a picture of it. It seems to be roughly the same errors regardless of what I attempt to do. I am still able to play games. Is there a way to upload an update or repair to a usb to fix this? Would really like to not lose all the data I have accumulated (back-ups lost during a recent move).

        stretch/main

        Your OS (Debian 9/Stretch) is outdated and no longer supported; currently only Debian 10 (Buster) is supported and, unfortunately, cannot be upgraded in situ.

        I suggest you to backup your roms and then install the current latest official image (currently 4.8) for your hardware from https://retropie.org.uk/download.

        Then, flash the 4.8 image and restore your backed-up folders over the network share or by the method of your choice:
