      @paradadf Wow, I did not know this and I have not tried this. How does it burn a compressed image? Why extract at all?

            @fefemae I think its in topic tools at the bottom? Or just edit your post title with [solved]? -press the unsolved.

              @rbaker burning a compressed image? News to me too! Will have to try...

              Though I think would still be wise to recommend extraction in the official doc's as some other tools may require extraction.

              If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

                    @fefemae said in Win32 Disk Imager Issue... can't get .img on SD card:

                    The Win32 Disk Imager program does not recognize the .img file whether it's on search for . or .img. It says that the file does not exist if I copy and paste the .img.

                    I'm having the same problem.
                    I downloaded the retropie file, extracted it to my desktop with 7zip, opened win32 disk imager, clicked that blue folder to select my disk image...and win32 disk imager won't find it from the desktop(or anywhere else).
                    I tried Etcher also. It finds correct image/or zip, but it freezes when it says "starting"

                          I am having the same issue above, not finding retro pie on the desk top, after the blue folder.
