@Nachtgarm and @tdelios i've had the resize error problem with a samsung SD. Strangely, that SD was working just perfect for raspbian, but not with NOOBS. Be it recalbox or raspbian, NOOBS would just stall when resizing the partitions. The guyez over at PiHut told me that it's a NOOBS bug, nothing to do with formatting.

Anyway, the use of NOOBS has 1 big advantage : providing a single zip for rpi[0123] whereas IMG means 1 IMG file per architecture.

I personnally think we should provide both : ZIP and IMG, but so far we've been limited by buildroot to automatize the IMG building process. Looks like @susan33 found a solution for XU4, so we may reconsider the IMG for pi.

And, as I have already pointed somewhere, one can still do like https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Recalbox-development---basics-(EN)#install-your-sources-on-an-sd-card to get rid of NOOBS. I even think http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html or http://www.fs-driver.org/ for windows might work to untar the root filesystem
