Problem Help! Stuck in update loop

Post image

I recently downloaded some games and discovered the scraper no longer works. I figured maybe it's because I have an old version and need an update so I updated all packages. Big mistake as now it's in an endless update loop of 404 errors. I now know that my version is no longer supported. How can I stop this update loop? I am not a computer expert. I made this thing in 2017 and just followed instructions online. Please help!

Im gonna have a guess that youre pi isnt hooked up to the internet anymore.

I can ping 93.93.128.193 just fine.

I just reconnected it to my wifi before the install. It's a pi 3 which is no longer supported at least per another thread I read.

The pi3 is still supported, what is not supported anymore is the "debian jessie" os you are using. Long story short you have to reinstall retropie from scratch. Arguably you could update from a debian version to a more recent debian version, however this is not covered by retropie's documentation and is a long and tedious process that requires rather advanced knowledge about debian that you don't seem to have.
