Stuck in the "Mr Fusion is installing MiSTer" Screen

Hi. I was following the steps to installing the MiSTer with Mr Fusion. I'm stuck in the screen that said "Mr Fusion is installing MiSTer. Please stand by...This should not take more than 2 minutes and the system will automatically restart when done. Make love, etc.". I'm stuck from about one hour now and I have no more hope it restart. What can I do ?

As stated in the FAQ if it doesn't reboot, just power off and power on

You could also rewrite your sd card

Thanks. I did both and it didn't work, so I bought a new SD card. I'll see how it goes when I receive it.

Double-check that the network cable is plugged in and operational. Initial setup has to be done over Ethernet. I don't know robust the Mr. Fusion error reporting is.

An Ethernet connection is certains not a requirement.

First stage of Mr Fusion when sets up SD card requires no internet connection at all which is where op is having problem, most like bad SD card.

WiFi connection script is installed by Mr Fusion once initial setup completes and has rebooted to the MiSTer main menu, you can then run the update script using either WiFi or Ethernet connection.

I always, always, always check new SD cards with "H2testw" regardless of where I've purchased them. I'd suggest testing your current micro SD (and the replacement) with that software before proceeding.
