      I have a Raspberry Pi 2 B that isn't used so I decided to load it with retropie. I downloaded retropie for raspberry pi 2/3 and loaded it on the the raspberry pi. I got an "Illegal instruction" notification. I re-downloaded retropie, following the instructions exactly how they were written, but I still received the same message. Could anyone explain to me why this might happen?

        How many raspberries on boot at the top left? If only one then you have a RPI1 not a 2.
