      Hi guys, I recently purchased a raspberry pi3 and followed instructions to format the sd card, down load retropie and copy the image over......i have done this 4 or 5 times and when i turn on the pi3 retropie is there but there are no emulators on emulation station.

      I have seen many videos where the emulators are there as soon as you boot up the pi for the first time so I am wondering what i am doing wrong.

      I am using macbook pro to do all of this.

          None of the emulators are there, you have to load up the roms in order for the emulators to show up.

          It's very simple to do a samba share and send over the roms herb has linked u good info make sure u read up
