@anotherwagner How much did you pay for the card?
-
@anotherwagner unfortunately, third party images are not really supported as we don't know what the person compiling it has done to the base build. I'd advise downloading the official build and following the wiki guide on first installation.
-
You're going to struggle getting support on here. You bought an illegal card and this group tries very hard to stay legal.
Your best bet is to download a clean image from this group's site.
-
@Jeck11 OK how is it illegal I thought Retro pie was a free download?
-
@anotherwagner having it pre-loaded with ROMs is the illegal part. The person that you bought the card from didn't own the rights to the ROMs so right now you're in copyright violation, just as if you had downloaded a movie torrent or something. I'm not judging. I'm just saying that it wont be openly supported.
-
@AlexMurphy $20 I though I was a good deal for a 32GB card and everything already loaded.
-
@anotherwagner it definitely was. Have you ever heard the expression: "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is"
-
@Jeck11 oh ok were do you get roms at then
-
@anotherwagner You don't ask. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules
-
@anotherwagner just. Stop.
You need to read the rules which you agreed to do and abide by when you registered.

And then you need to start fresh.

If you want support with your illegal image- ask the guy you bought it from.
I'm getting awful tired of people ripping off our project and sending their customers here that they've duped into buying something that is free.
-
I'm wanting to do it right so how can I do it right if I don't ask.
-
@anotherwagner You should first read the links you have been asked to read - which agreed to read when you registered here.

@BuZz I'm sorry just delete my posts I'm an idiot... sorry for bothering you people
