can any friend help me with the 2tb batocera image from 2Dai4 I already downloaded it 3 times, the first time via usenet, the second via rapdgator and the third via torrent, I took some prints here so you can see what happens when I try to extract the image with 7zip gives header error and when I try with winrar it says that the file is corrupted, but if you look at the prints, they are all with the correct size, which are 1024 Mb each part, except 2 parts, note that the part number 386 this one has a different name from the others and the 399 is 1023 Mb and not 1024, but it is part 01 of the file that I think is the problem because it is the header error with 7zip and it is precisely part 01 of the file that gives a missing or corrupted file with winrar and as if part 01 of this image was empty. would any friend have part 01 of this image of the 2tb batocera from 2Dai4 to send me? but it can’t be the one on rapidgator or the torrent or usenet because those are corrupted, I need someone who has it working so I can download and replace it here in my files, can anyone help me with that?

i successfully downloaded the image, mounted it on a 2TB ssd with no errors.
It doesn’t work, I also tried to mount the 1.8 Tb partition to see the contents… but it doesn’t work?
Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone installed it correctly?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ho scaricato correttamente l’immagine, l’ho montata su un SSD da 2 TB senza errori.
Non funziona, ho provato anche a montare la partizione da circa 1.8 Tb per vedere il contenuto…ma non funziona?
Sbaglio qualche cosa? qualcuno lìha montata correttamente?

“hi, I downloaded the .7z files from arcadep. by torrent, but when i try to just unzip it , 7-zip file manager tells me , that there is a Header error. anyone else got that. I even verified all the files in the torrent client, and it says all i 100 % dl’ed an good. Should i use another unpacking tool ?
Use WINRAR as they are all rar4 files, this will solve 90% of extraction issues, and if there is an issue with any file, it will tell you which one !

Forget the above! Tried the HDD in another pc, an it booted from that. The first pc would not boot in UEFI (rebooted after the Triangle Batocera Logo, and in Legacy mode it just had a black screen with a white cursor, and it also loop rebooted”
Images need to be complete to be written, its not just missing files if its not, its missing parts of the partition, even if it seems to be working, something wont be

I used winrar on the first file only and told it to extract and it extracted fine but when I tried using 7zip I got the error. I loaded it onto my m.2 drive and put it in my main pc ands started up which loaded to batocera screen and just sat there forever (bios configuration needs tweeked) so I took it and put it into my little retro gaming console that I put together that I knew loaded batocera on the other m.2 perfectly and this one loaded up perfectly. So I would just drop it on your m.2 drive after it is unzipped using BalenaEtcher and check your bios settings like turning off secure boot and legacy support. I turned those 2 off on main pc and it just stayed on batocera so there is probably other things to tweek as well.

2TB Batocera works perfectly for me. A bit of input on what I did to get going. I downloaded off usenet using Sabnzbd which auto extracted for me. Noticed the extraction did several checks so there may be damaged or corrupted pieces. Sabnzbd automatically handled all the repairs and then decompressed the IMG file correctly.

2TB FULLY LOADED BATOCERA BOOTABLE PC IMAGE
Hello, a n00b question – is the CRC of the combined 7z file available? I’ve dloaded and combined the parts but wish to check that everything’s OK before deleting the original downloads to make space to extract the image.
Thanks in advance
