      Hi all,
      I hope someone on here has the time to help.

      I bought a pi that has been setup to be used as a retro games console.
      It's all working fine but I'd like to add some more games to it and also set it up for Arcade games too.

      I have contacted the seller who refuses to help me in anyway whatsoever and is now not replying to any messages I send.

      Any help would be appreciated immensely.

          @Paddy1978 Sadly, you have been scammed, retropie is free software and selling it breaks the terms of the licence. Nobody on here will know anything about an illegal 3rd party setup shipped with roms. You should reformat your card and install retropie from the image provided on the downloads page. After that, full support can be offered from multiple sources of great expertise and experience.

            @Paddy1978 Yes, start with a fresh image and folk here will be able to advise accordingly. Here are some wiki pages to get you started:

            @rbaker You beat me to it.
