      Good day . Transferring the image of Teken 3 from a USB flash drive through MС The explorer encountered a problem that this explorer does not unpack the archive with the rar extension. Then I tried to unpack through the terminal, but there I found out that there is no this program, Then I decided to install it, but again I ran into a problem, this is what the terminal gave me:
      *pi@retropie: $ sudo apt update

      Get:1 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster InRelease [15.0 kB] Get:2 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster/nain armhf Packages [13.0 MB] Get:3 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster/non-free armhf Packages [110 kB 3% [Connecting to archive.raspberrypi.org] CIC

      pieretropic: $ sudo apt install unrar

      Reading package lists... Done

      Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done

      Package unrar is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

      E: Package 'unrar' has no installation candidate pi@retropie:" $*

      I installed retropie from a ready-made image from this site, raspberry 3b+. Cbr controller Wired CBG 910 . There is also a keyboard. The image downloaded a couple of weeks ago, I will update the version later. The image was uploaded to the flash drive via android 10, the files were copied one by one from the archive to the flash drive with an error, and I decided to drop the archive and unpack it for retropie. The result is described above.

        unrar is not included in Raspi OS list of packages (though it's included in Debian's non-free repositories). Try installing either unar or unrar-free if you wish to extract .rar files.

          If the file is compressed with unrar5 then it will not be possible to extract it with the unrar-free package. Only Pi OS Bullseye 64 bit have the newer package in the repository .

            @windg I tried to unpack to raspberry os x64, it still ends with an error. Maybe the archive is broken. Trying another archive at the moment .

              You have to install this package : unrar-1:6.0.3-1 not unrar-free-1:0.0.1. Sorry, my previous message wasn't clear enough and i hope you didn't install RetroPie on Bullseye 64 bit, it is a lot of time just to unrar few games.
