SD Card help.

dankcushions

giving filenames etc

i specifically asked that because the downloaded image needs to be extracted first, and what you're describing sounds like what happens when you write the image before extracting

Shawee

@dankcushions I've extracted it using winrar and it is in a folder.

dankcushions

@Shawee so now i'm going to ask for the file name again to make sure you're using the right image. also, please fill in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first so we know everything about your setup

@dankcushions It always gave me the error in Yellow text when I click a NES rom saying "controller not configured"

What file are you asking I'm so confused, what do u mean there is two? are you meaning which of the files I'm downloading and imaging?

@Shawee Which image file have you downloaded from the site to burn to the SD card. @dankcushions wants you to provide this filename because there are 2 builds, one for Pi 1 and zero, and another for 2 and 3. Please help us by reading what we're asking for and giving us as much information as possible, otherwise it's just a guessing game as to you're setup and it makes it a much harder, drawn out process to assist you.

@markyh444 I'm using the Raspberry Pi 3, I watched a Guide on how to do it via Youtube, I downloaded the 2/3 File.
