Ok, so I’ve been having a problem with my pi all night here. I bought it from a friend who couldn’t get his controller to map and just gave up on it. I formatted the SD card and downloaded a new img of retropie. I wrote the image using Win32 Disk Imager with no issues. When I put the card in the pi and boot it up it launches into emulationstation just fine and prompts me to configure my controls. I’m going to be using an XBOX controller so I just set up the keyboard for now. I then <alt>F4to the command prompt and hit up the config to expand the file system to use all of the 8GB card. It does its thing and says that the next time the pi reboots it will use all of the card. Well, when I reboot the pi I end up staring at that colorful splash screen indefinitely and the unit only shows one red light. Nothing else happens. It just won’t boot.
I reformatted the card and wrote the image again and tried another time. It booted fine into retropie the first time but as soon as I expanded the system and rebooted, same thing. The funny thing is, when I first got it from him it booted fine onto this card with the expanded system. I just never could get my XBOX controller to hook up right so I decided to start fresh. Any ideas, folks? I’ve followed every youtube tutorial I’ve come across.
Mike
