Hmmm?

I wasted one SD-card on my older RPI1 mod B due to absurde overclocking settings and dozens of different installations & re-writings of Openelec, Kodi, Raspbian, Pidora, RetroPie, you name it… but you can’t really blame the actual RPI/RPI2 for those kind of problems.

SD-cards, like USB flash drives, can more or less go bad (get corrupted/get fucked up) – in a blink of an eye – so it’s wise to always have a spare SD-card just in case.

And as written before: Retropie/RPI do require some experience of using Linux, and patience, and not to say the least – listen to other peoples advices first.

Check out Floob’s video guides on Youtube, Techtipsta’s as well and take the best parts of information from both of them to get a sense of how this hardware and software works.

It’s worth spending a couple of hours watching tutorials wether it be Blender, GIMP, AutoCad/FreeCAD, RetroPie or Linux on Youtube – in the end – you’ll benefit from it.

Good luck, have fun.
