      Hello, I have a RPI-3 model B, a mini SD class 10 SanDisk and the following image downloaded from the official website: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie...i2_rpi3.img.gz J ' I extracted the .img image and copied it to my SD with Win32DiskImager. So far, so good. But when I boot my RPI boot stops here:

      alt text

      My SD contains 2 partitions:

      a 57 MB partition that is bootable (mmcblk0p1)
      a non-bootable 14.5 GB linux partition (mmcblk0p2)
      I do not know what's going on. Help!

      The SD image has 2 partitions:
      A bootable WIN FAT16 partition and a Linux partition.

      The bootable WIN partition is visible on Windows (57 MB), but impossible to boot from RPI 3. I thought it came from my mini SD (a SanDisk 16GB class 10), but putting a RaspBian image , The RPI boots very well and everything works fine.

      Would this be a problem with the original SD image?

      Is there any other way to install RetroPie on an RPI 3?

        Bad image, badly written image or bad sdcard. Check the md5sum on the download page with the compressed image you downloaded (eg with http://md5summer.org)
