Boot sequence repeating over and over and over and over and over and over again.

@TheNerdyDev the format of your sd card is irrelevant because the image writer overwrites it :)
what are you actually seeing on screen during these boot cycles? please also read and provide the details shown here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first
without that information, i would guess it's either poor powersupply or a bad sd card.

One second, ill gather the info

@dankcushions I have tried doing this with a 64GB sd card with the same results.
-
what powersupply are you using? for a pi3 it should be 5.1v 2.5a, but i think a lot of people seem to end up with 2a power supplies which can cause issues like this.

@dankcushions On my charger it is written 5.0V - 0.7A

then i'm impressed it got as far as it did :) you need to buy a proper pi3 charger (5.1v, 2.5a) - https://thepihut.com/products/official-raspberry-pi-universal-power-supply is the 'official' one although others to right spec should work.

@TheNerdyDev Unfortunately that power supply is never going to be able to supply enough current to the Pi, especially if it's a Pi 3.
There's some information on my post: Looking after your Pi – Part 1 – The Importance of a Quality Power Supply (PSU)

@dankcushions @RetroResolution Thank you guys so much, this fixed my issue right away, I am in love with my raspberry pi again! Wow! <3

@TheNerdyDev great! Glad you were able to resolve the problem - enjoy the Pi!
