First time poster in need of help: Pi3 not booting
-
@jbryan1984 Strange issue,but you figured it out - now you can have fun playing :).
-
glad you got it working nice result
-
just for future reference to anyone going to do this if they read it when using mini tool be sure to pick your sd card disk and not something else select it delete the partitions. Then make a new fat32 partition with all the space. It does format fat 32 cant verify that it works right the so use the gui formatter to be sure
-
I still don't understand that part but at least I got it to power on. I hope I won't have any more issues after this.

let me try help you out here when you build a house its one big space you then partition it to make rooms in the space.
A hard drive does something similar. It allocates it space you tell it what format it is then it allocates the space. It treats that space with a hard drive letter.
now when you write a retropie image and boot it you no longer have one big partition so you need to delete the partitions and make the sdcard one big drive like it should be with the fat32 format using minitool. I know its not the best explanation its the best i can do though

Wow guys. You wanna know what the problem was the entire time? The NEPSI classic NES box! Not sure if you are familiar but it comes with plug ins that you like plug in to your usb ports on the pi, this makes it so you can turn it on and off like the original NES. So, when my pi is plugged into the NEPSI plugs ins, it WILL NOT boot! But not hooked up, it boots just fine and goes into ES. I have plugged it in and unplugged it 3 times just to be sure. That is crazy.
-
it authentic another one on the lessons pile bottom line is it works :) not get your old classics on and get some blisters on your skin lol

@jbryan1984 Then you might not get enough power through the case adapter, that's not the first time when this pops up.
-
Yeah just sucks cause the case was 25 bucks.
