      Hi there

      I installed RetroPie, downloaded the BIOS for Atari5200 and installed one Rom in the correct directory. It comes up when I choose Atari5200, but when I try to start the game, it comes back with a screen with cat's eyes and the words "Witing for bootable media". Apologies if this is a common newbie problem, I just cannot find the answer for this one anywhere!

      Thanks!

        @heinb Make sure you have all the bios files, respecting the filenames (capital or lower case names, as stated in the wiki)
        Did you tried a specific rom only or with different roms?
        If you can't run any roms, try looking for other bios files from different sources...
