            @luckychicken91 without details requested on the read me first page I cannot advise short of guessing a faulty SD card, power supply, or corrupted image

              if im in the terminal then im first getting a little ascii retropie message and if im typing "ls" then im getting 2 directorys: RetroPie, RetroPie-Setup
              can i maybe start these things somehow? so that im getting to the normal retropie menu?

              its really strange.

              Im definitely having the right image. Im having all the files im needing. not currupted
