I need help booting Retropie

@AwesomeAzzy are you trying to write the image over a NOOBS install? Make sure to format your card using a good progam like this, then write the retropie image to the sd card.

@AlexMurphy I also thought that it was impossible, I'll tell you the steps i went through.

1. I downloaded the retropie img, and formatted my sd card.
2. Then i used Win32 Disk Imager to write the img to my sd card.
   3)After that, I took out my sd card, plugged everything up, switched it on, then raspbian booted, no sign of retropie whatsoever

i downloaded retropie from this website.

@celly No, it was an sd card already formatted, so there was no NOOBS anywhere.
