      @mickw87 are you using the image for the raspberry pi 3?

            @AlexMurphy Is it fixable? or need I do a full reinstallation?

              @mickw87 No idea. Third Party piracy images are not supported on the forum. Ask the person who charged you money for free software.

                Just to add. I really don't want to come across as rude or aggressive but... This seriously pisses me off. You paid someone for free software and pirated ROMs, ie you bought a "product" from them. It doesn't work as promised, so instead of going back to the person that ripped you off you come to the official forum and ask users and the developers to help you fix a problem that someone else caused whilst threatening the future of and profiting from the RetroPie project?

                  @AlexMurphy I only paid for the raspberry and the sd-card, they just installed it free of charge. I only paid for the hardware :) So the assumption that I Just bought a preinstalled micro SD and paid big bucks for that is nog right. But I get why this get's you frustrated. And besides that, not everybody is as skillful or techsavvy so that they offer this service free of charge with your purchase is no different when u ask your 'techsavy uncle' to install it and buy the components, Sorry for my english I'm not a native speaker.

                    @mickw87 you're tech savvy enough to make an account and post in here. The slightest bit of effort could've been done to look into installing retropie and think, shit, that's easy. If you install a fresh image then people will have the ability to help.

                      @Darksavior Thanx for your reply, it is indeed simple. My old SDcardreader went missing when I moved 2 month's ago . I'm going to head out and get a microSD card reader after I finish work. I was just hoping it was fixable without going to the store, ohwell..
