SD card appears to be corrupt in new Atari Fight Stick
Hello, I just came home with the Atari Fight Stick and I am not getting any video output from the pi3b. Within the fight stick, the PI simply lights up with a red LED but there's no output through HDMI. I used another sd card with a known good image for the 3b and it confirms that the pi is functioning properly with video out on the HDMI. It simply appears that the SD card as delivered was corrupt. Can anyone help me out with obtaining a new image to flash to the card to see if that gets my fight stick working? Thanks in advance.

This would be pretty handy, as even though the sd card has a built in recovery partition it would be cool to have an image around locally.

I solved this on my own. I was able to make a copy of the image that came on the micro sd card using "ApplePiBaker" - then I used the "Raspberry Pi Imager" application to re-write the .img to a new microSD card. This card was recognized and booted the pi 3B without issue.

Thanks, @wstevens! This solved my corrupt card. I purchased a new Fighter Stick off ebay and it was getting stuck on a rainbow screen when attempting to boot. Your solution saved the day for me. Thank you!

Glad that worked out for you!

Does that lose the games? I verified that the Pi is fine. The Controller board seems fine as well. The Atari image just floated away.
I can load the SD card and see two FAT 16 partitions — "boot" and "RECOVERY" and they do have files. However, when you read the instructions under RECOVERY it just tells you how to create a Pi image in general and not anything to do with recovering and creating a new set of images that work.
