              @Ornitorick this is what helped me

              1. Connect to your pi
              2. Go to /home/pi/.emulationstation/
                note: you might not be able to get to that directory by clicking folders, copy and paste that into the dir
              3. edit es_settings.cfg
              4. Change themeset to "carbon"
              5. Reboot

              That has worked for me a few times, I hope it works for you, let me know.

                Hello, I have a RPI-3 model B, a mini SD class 10 SanDisk and the following image downloaded from the official website: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie...i2_rpi3.img.gz J ' I extracted the .img image and copied it to my SD with Win32DiskImager. So far, so good. But when I boot my RPI boot stops here:

                alt text

                My SD contains 2 partitions:

                • a 57 MB partition that is bootable (mmcblk0p1)
                • a non-bootable 14.5 GB linux partition (mmcblk0p2)

                I do not know what's going on. Help!

                The SD image has 2 partitions:
                A bootable WIN FAT16 partition and a Linux partition.

                The bootable WIN partition is visible on Windows (57 MB), but impossible to boot from RPI 3. I thought it came from my mini SD (a SanDisk 16GB class 10), but putting a RaspBian image , The RPI boots very well and everything works fine.

                Would this be a problem with the original SD image?

                Is there any other way to install RetroPie on an RPI 3?
