Hello, I need help with what to do with a .img file

[pfitz1138]

I downloaded Rick_Dangerous_Retro_Power_Edition_1TB.img.torrent for my Pi4 Arcade setup

I got the MicroSD card recommended in the documentation

I formatted it as Fat32 on my Mac

I then wrote the image to the SD card using the following commands

diskutil umountDisk disk4

sudo dd if=/Users/pfitzgerald/Downloads/Rick_Dangerous_Retro_Power_Edition_1TB.img.torrent  of=/dev/disk4 bs=1m

I tried both .img & .img.torrent

When I put it into my Pi, I get a boot loop.

 

What am I missing please?

Did you download the .rar files with the torrent?

or just the actual torrent?

[pfitz1138]

just the actual torrent I don’t see the .rar file.  Where would I find that?

I now have the .rar files, where do I go from here?
