Emulators not showing on start

[Red_Zanah]

Hi, I've downloaded the retropie image for Raspberry Pie 2/3 and after loading it into an SD card and plugin it into my raspberry, Retropie starts but I only get the Retropie configuration option, I don't see any emulator nor anything else.
I can get to the configuration screen...to the menu...set the WiFi parameters and any other configuration...but when I go back to the main screen, there's only that one option. I don't even see the "13 games" message below the Retropie logo, just "configuration".
I've tried this with an 8Gb card and with another one of 16Gb with the same result :(

Does anyone know what have I done wrong or what do I have to do?

Thank you :)

@red_zanah RetroPie doesn't come with any games pre-installed nor the emulators itself. First thing you need to do, if you already didn't, is install all the basic stuff. You can do this at 'RetroPie' -> 'RetroPie Setup' -> 'Basic install'.

After this is done you need to add roms yourself. Make sure you place the roms in the right directory, then the games will show up. You can find more info about this here https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki

RetroPie comes with a bunch of emulators already installed, you need to add games/ROMs and restart Emulationstation for the games to appear - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#why-do-some-emulators-not-show-up

Hi,
I copied the Intellivision BIOS files together with the ROMS into the Intellivision folder in my gurumediabox Retropie but nothing happens. It still says that it need the BIOS files. When I copied them into the are of the folder that says BIOS, it says not supported. These are the grom.bin and exec.bin
