Reply To: RPi not booting after writing image to SD card

[mac2298]

If you’re starting a new RasPi, or using a new SD, you need to install noobs on it. Go to raspberrypi.org and download the noobs zip file. If you’re using an old SD with noobs already on it, then all you have to do is plug that sucker in and type a few lines in terminal (assuming you have internet) that are provided in the RetroPie script on this site. From my understanding, you can’t write the RetroPie image easily from a non-raspberry pi computer to SD. You need to do it from within your Raspberry Pi. I hope this makes sense. Maybe if you could be a bit more detailed in your responses I can better understand what you need and I can determine how to assist you. Good luck! :)
