      @larry-bell Although this has nothing to do with RetroPie, the error comes from an older/outdated OpenSSL library on your system.
      When curl tries to download the file from raw.githubusercontent.com, it cannot understand the encryption protocol the site uses.

      TL;DR - update/upgrade your system. On a stock RetroPie image (which is based on Raspbian Jessie), kept up-to date, the command you're trying to run works without problems. The versions for cURL/OpenSSL are shown in the output of the curl -V command:

      pi@retropie:~ $ curl -V curl 7.38.0 (arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf) libcurl/7.38.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1t zlib/1.2.8 libidn/1.29 libssh2/1.4.3 librtmp/2.3 Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtmp rtsp scp sftp smtp smtps telnet tftp Features: AsynchDNS IDN IPv6 Largefile GSS-API SPNEGO NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP

      @mitu , thank you for your reply.
      There is no specific problem, just trying to increase my knowledge about how does the retropie_setup script works.
      =)

      @BuZz , thank you. I'll try it! I believe this should also work for the other piece of codes. ;)

      @Trailjacker , I'm happy my question was useful in you scenario.

      Thank you guys!

      @mitu Yes i know and it's why i don't want to modify files ... or maybe change one and make a DIFF patch to be compatible with updates.

      And yes DL source is really fast, the long way was in compilation.
      It's why on my own project ScummVM and OpenBOR i have DL the source code and compile it myself in a source directory i create.
      Each time i update the code i can compile very fast to try it.

      Thanks @BuZz i have update NP2PI and LR-Hatari without any problem.
      Do you write to not use lr-hatari because the original hatari emulator is better like ever ?

      I always have my problem with RETROARCH :(

      You are real for the SHADER directory, it was root access i don't know why ? I have change it for pi.
      But now it is my retroarch.cfg it don't like and crash the update :(

      install -m644 docs/retroarch-cg2glsl.6 /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/share/man/man6 install -m644 media/retroarch.svg /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/share/pixmaps « /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/retroarch/retroarch.cfg » -> « /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/retroarch.cfg » /home/pi /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch /home/pi = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Configuring 'retroarch' : RetroArch - frontend to the libretro emulator cores - required by all lr-* emulators = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = error: bad index file sha1 signature fatal: index file corrupt fatal: Reference has invalid format: 'refs/remotes/origin/rpi ' error: bad index file sha1 signature fatal: index file corrupt error: bad index file sha1 signature fatal: index file corrupt Copying new default configuration to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /home/pi Error running 'git pull' - returned 1 Error running 'git submodule update --init --recursive' - returned 1 Log ended at: jeudi 24 août 2017, 14:44:20 (UTC+0200) Total running time: 0 hours, 7 mins, 8 secs

      I try many things but nothing works for me :(
      I read there you write to remove the CONFIG dir and install again RETROARCH but it is impossible, i work so many days on my configs ...
      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9147/default-all-retroarch-cfg

      I have try to remove the retroarch.cfg and expect it will create a new one but it crash too :(
      Maybe if some one can share his file with me, i will use it to update and after i will update settings with mine.

      Thanks

      @earthwarder

      Press F4 on the Keyboard, this will close EmulationStation and drop you to the command line.

      Type the following command line: sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie-setup.sh

      Select Manage Packages --> Core Packages --> EmulationStation --> Configuration --> EmulationStation

      Select Clear/Reset Emulation Station Input Configuration

      Exit out of the RetroPie Setup script.

      Reboot your Pi using: sudo reboot (I think reboot exists in raspbian, otherwise I normally use sudo shutdown -r -t 0 now)

      Hope this works for you.

      Si.

      @simonster I have a NTSC set, With component it's the reason I'm using the YUV Transcoder all my other consoles is using Scart cables via a Scart Switch. Some how I eliminated the squeeze picture issue and ran into other problems with Retroarch not saving menu settings. And I can't get cores to run at all. I would down load them but they will not show up.

      @ghostnappa611
      I've just downloaded the image to double check and the hash key matches that of the .gz file. The hash key you posted is from the extracted image which is why it's different (though I can verify still correct for the extracted image), if you do the hash check on the original gz file you will see it matches.

      There is no problem with the image file you have. As @ortsac said try another SD card.

      @zaphod42 For PSX games you have to have them extracted because the emulator reads .pbp, .iso, and .bin/.cue so if you want to play your games you have to extract the files.

      @yfresh59 bump! If anyone has any ideas, would be greatly appreciated. Or if someone can confirm that Attract Mode WILL NOT work with my tripple boot setup. If it doesn't work with my setup then I'll put Attract Mode to rest and stick with Emulation Station.
