Updated Packages and now system shuts down before launching retropie

@DrSubsonic F4 works from Emulationstation, from what you're describing you don't get to Emulationstation. Are you using a proper power source ? Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to the topic.

The system has a powersouce in the arcade unit.. and a LCD.. it was working perfectly before the software package update for a day.. and the shop sells a lot of these so I assume the power supply is correct.
I should be able to see whats going ifi can stop emulationstation from auto starting... or is it retropie that is autostarting...
-
i knew i should have backed up the sd card before i made any chances...
-
how do i configure the boot options exactly? is that done from windows on the sd card?
-
@DrSubsonic Emulationstation should run via autostart, there's no 'retropie' program/application. Did the image came pre-installed with the arcade ?
-
@mitu yes image came pre installed and running.
I got my sd card reader... about to see if i can change ES to not autorun
im guessing your right and its trying to launch without permission

We don't support 3rd party images - see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
Moreover, commercial usage of RetroPie is forbidden by its license - so the seller has illegally sold it to you, RetroPie is free.Use the image from retropie.org.uk/download if you want support here in the forums - or ask the seller for support.

@mitu the seller sold me the arcade system.. just came with retropie installed thats all.
im sure i could fix it if i booted into safe mode... how can you do that
-
Ok so im in.. got my CLI up and running...
ran sudo raspi-config and it did not ask for a username or password...
guess i need to do a full flash of a fresh install

If RetroPie came with the system, it was sold with the system.

That is normal in RetroPie. It's less secure than in most other Linux systems, but I guess it's just a compromise for convenience.

That may be the best course of action if you neither can fix it by yourself nor get support from the seller.
