      @ljpgulliver I also had the same problem did my head in till I grabbed a miniport cable and swapped it over from my old screen plasma to my reasonably modern tv. If you have another monitor maybe try it with that.

      @mitu said in boots to command line. Emulation station won't load; illegal instruction:

      dmesg | grep Model

      Thank you. Nothing happened when I tried that command. However I tried cat /proc/cpuinfo and I do indeed have a Zero W (not what I ordered). I will flash the proper image for this model and try again. Thank you for the help!

      That's fine, but please use a more meaningful title for your help requests in the future, instead of forcing potential helpers to look at it just to see what it's about.

      So you're one of the scammers that sell systems with RetroPie and ROMs... I'm afraid we don't support such things and by selling your 'systems' with RetroPie you're in breach of the project's software license - not to mention the selling of pirated ROMs, associating your so called business with game piracy and the project.

      Please limit yourself to one post on an issue and as a matter of etiquette, there's never a need for overly dramatic topic titles. Everyone here is more than happy to help without them, you just have to be patient. I'm closing this, but will leave the original open.

      It seems that you should be able to use the linux way by being in developer mode, opening crosh, and typing shell.
      You then will have a bash shell, with the dd command.
      Careful to use the correct device as target for dd.

      I also see that the chromebook recovery utility can be used too - see here : https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/7d02im/using_a_chromebook_to_install_an_iso_to_a_usb/

      @djjujuvi use etcher, it's simpler and doesn't require unzipping.

      Hey guys,

      Thanks for the response. I formatted the SD card again and reloaded retropie. Still had the same problem so what I did was removed my wireless playstation controllers and plug my hard drive in a different usb port (because it wouldn't boot up without the hard drive in) this time I had a different error message. I turned it off, unplugged the usb then turned it back on without the USB and then everything was back to normal. It's bizarre, but I'm glad everything is back to normal.

      Thanks for your help!

      @tmntturtlguy 1st of all let me thank you for your help on the file expansion it worked :) :) Thanks bro.

      Ok this is the way I think and see things... the image that is on the RetroPie website is the v4.2 and once I install it on my 4gb sd card I then update it to the latest version which is v4.2.10 so now I have an up to date retropie clean image on my hand. Why do I do this you ask, and what benefit it does to me? It does a lot you see, I see things as if they can be removed or the whole internet will just breakdown it's weird I know. Let's just say that if anything happens at least I have the latest copy. That's It.

      @rbaker
      This is great advice in general. But as Xyb0t said, he should not have ended up with a .7z file. It seems he just used 7zip to further compress his image instead of extracting it. Still, following the guide closely and carefully should set that straight.

      Hi @area877 ,

      If you are playing the old Kings Quest IV dos game (the one with the type in prompt at the bottom of the screen that looks like ">"), type save. It will ask you the location, just press enter and then it will ask you to select a directory to store your saves. When you restart, start a game and then type load and the same screen will appear.
