      Hi,

      I just installed last version of retropie on a RPi B+, the instalation went smoothly. However, I'm unable to load any ROM at all. Not even the 'builtin' ROMs for the different systems, nor ROMs I downloaded myself for SNES.

      The ROMs get parsed and I get a SNES menu, but everytime I try to run any ROM, I get the following error messages:

      0_1470925203475_IMG_20160811_105926.jpg

      I tried to log into retropie, and look for the /tmp/runcommand file, but the directory is empty.

      Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated.

        Which version of RetroPie did you download (latest isnt specific enough)? Or did you install the retropie script on top of raspbian yourself?

          Looks like a corrupted filesystem. Try a different sdcard / write the image again. Also what power supply are you using?

            @Floob I'm sorry for not being clear on first place. I downloaded v3.8.1. I did not install it on top of Raspbian.

            @BuZz I'll can try it once I get my hands on it again, although that sdcard have been functioning without any issue with the same very Pi for a while. I've been using a surplus power supply I had laying around, but I don't think it's a power supply issue. I'm not getting low voltage warnings, and I was able to drive the same piece of hardware with external HD's before without a glitch, using the same power supply.

            One thing I did try, was to locate a hash for the file I downloaded to check it's integrity (since it's a huge file, and my ISP is having issues recently). I did not find it anywhere obvious, but I also was in a rush, so this may be my bad.
