@paf said in Verification error when writing RetroPie on SD card:
AFAIK
Verification errors tend to mean fake or bad cards. Here is my order:
Format the card -
SDFormatter
This is important and dont forget that some cards are not compatible with the pi. I have formatted other ways before and have found that success is hit and miss. This tends to work every time for me.
Download the retropie image for your chosen device either zero etc or 2/3 and unzip it to reveal the iso. If using Etcher - you do not need to unzip - have you tried this?
Using Win32disk imager, browse to the image and click write making sure that the correct drive letter is selected.
Boot. A solid red means fail. If your lights start blinking then look at these meanings
This is fast process. I have never had an issue. I use Sandisk cards 16-128GB and their own cradle - class 10 though, I find class 4 glitches for more intensive tasks. I have also used various usb sd card cradles. Can you describe your exact operations? Do you do this order?
