      Hi there I have recently purchased a Retropie that on the understanding has had games installed and all I needed to do was to connect it up to the TV an play any game want to.
      On hooking up I can see the all the games but when I select one and then press to launch the game it just goes back to the list of games on the selected emulation station I'm on. Any ideas out there sorry but I couldn't see anything on this forum that could help me ,Cheers

        3rd party images are not supported. Ask the scumbag seller that illegally sold it to you. If you wish for any support, you'll have to start with a clean image. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/

          oops, are you aware you have been scammed? Nobody can possibly predict what is in the illegal image your paid cash for so we can't assist. Best way is to re-image the card with the official free version. Try to contact your seller for support but as soon as they point you here, you know you have been done.

            What they said but are you sure your not pressing the back button. The button actions takes a little getting used to.

            "A" button selects the game and "B" button is your back/esc button.
