      I have a Raspberry Pi3 and I just downloaded Retropie and once that it was installed and i already configurated the controller my current at home switched off so the Raspberry Pi suddenly turned off. Now I just turned it on again and Retropie isn't working, my screen is black. What can I do??

        Hi @sepedro77

        I would recommend that you reinstall the software to the SD card. It sounds like the card has become corrupt. I know you say the power went off in this case, but try to make sure you shutdown properly from the menu.

          Oh sorry I was so worried that I didn't see anything, thank you very much. May I ask how can I re-install it? should I delete all of the files and then format?

            You need to rewrite the image to the SD, it shouldn't necessarily need to be reformatted. Win32DiskImager writes the whole device when you use it.
