So what improvements have you missed out on by not updating RetroPie to the latest version? Are you missing out of any new features that have been added since your initial build? Have there been any bug fixes that have managed to resolve any frustrating glitches? If so, how do you get hold of these new features? Would updating your software risk corrupting the build you worked for weeks on getting just the way you wanted? What about all the ROMs that you have painstakingly downloaded? You don’t want to risk losing any of those.
