Do '''NOT''' update or delete any of the preinstalled apps or RetroArch cores. Many of these are older or modified versions which have been optimized to work on the RP2. If you are coming from a console gaming background, you may be used to all updates being both required and more-or-less improvements. This does not apply to the RP2: the various installed Android apps are not written specifically for the RP2, but for all Android devices. Due to the age of the RP2's hardware, updates may actually reduce functionality, or cause an app to stop working entirely, due to removal of support for legacy hardware/firmware. | Do '''NOT''' update or delete any of the preinstalled apps or RetroArch cores.
