Error when trying to unpack the latest version of minty PI v4

Post by wattwatt » Sat Jan 13, 2018 7:13 pm

When I download the zip file and try to unpack it to my sd card it gets about 90% of the way and then says there's an unknown error.

I can skip this and I end up with a mintyPi_v4 disc image file that says it is corrupted when I try to open it. Also there is an _MACOSX folder with another image of the disk that has the same issue.

I got the download from the link on the wiki page, and I'm on a machine running Windows 10.

Anyone else run into this?

i doubt it....

thats not the way you install Retropie (MintyPi V4 .img)


have a look at this, its exactly the same way for the mintyPi .img




NB: you skip to around 1:30, and you dont need to download anything from the Retropie website (as you'll be using the MintyPi V4 .img)


if you were aware of how to install it, and the issue is just when trying to unpack the zip file....
then try redownloading the MintyPi V4.img again, you might have had a bad download.....
also try another unpacking software
