    Hello guys...
    I downloaded a RetroPie 128GB Image, the idea should be put is on a SD Card to run it on a Rapsberry.
    But I don't have a 128GB Card and not even a Rapsberry :X
    Well, that's what wanted to do... I have this old notebook, I was thinking to turn it into a Mini Arcade using this RetroPie 128gb Image.
    What I want to know is... What can I do to make it possible?
    I made some research, and I found some videos teaching how to install RetroPie on Linux.
    With that in mind I thought that I just needed to format the Hard Drive and Install Linux on it, but I want to use the 128GB Image, with all the games and stuff already configured and working, I don't want to strat it from 0.

    So if anyone knows how to do this, I appreciate the help.

      @Red-Animes pre set up images with roms on it arent legal, and who knows how they configured it. If you are going to use someone elses image you should ask them for support. If you download the correct image for linux from the retropie site then people would be glad to help you.

        @Red-Animes The image you downloaded is an image of an SD card for use in a raspberry pi. Without raspberry Pi hardware, it's useless.

          Yeah, seems to be useless, I will keep it for use in a Rapsberry Pi.
          I will try another frontend for my intel hardware
