First run display never appears
-
I used Raspberry PI Imager to create the SD card image, and that was successful. The card is 128GB.
On first boot, it displayed the splash image, but welcome screen or config. Instead, it prints a ton of text to the screen, like logs. It ends with a normal prompt
I extended the drive and rebooted. It still showed no config screen.
I copied some MAME roms in to test, but I don't know how to get this to run.
I'd love any help with this.
My Pi is a 3 B+
The text it prints is the Raspian startup text with the [ OK ] lines
It ends with the normal prompt. But no retropie.

Faulty or Faked SD Card? Wrong Image chosen for your Pi? -> Please provide the info you've been asked for here. ... Without further info my best bet would be a faked 128GB SD Card! edit: a regular image written via the Pi Imager would on 1st boot extend the partition, then reboot ... without any user interaction needed!
Edit2: ?And AFAIK/IIRC the RetroPie Splash Image shouldn't be shown on the 1st boot where it is enlarging the partition, but just on the 2nd boot before it is asking for the controller setup?Edit3: Just verified on a fresh Pi4 image written on an 32GB SD Card via the Pi Imager -> 1st. Boot just some plain ASCII-Box informing about the resize/enlarging of the partition an reboot... after that reboot the WELCOME/Configure Input UI Step.
@Clyde had from time to time mentioned an util/step to be used to verifiy the integrity of flash-storage, not sure what that was. If you can test the card on a Windows based System, you can use H2testw

@Ashpool I got the image from retropie, but I did tell the imager to add SSH, set up the user, and configure wifi. I'll re-image without that
-
@ShadowOfArnor the retropie image is still based on buster, so the default user is pi! don't change anything there (Pi Imager options), just stick to the defaults and configure it from within retropie!
(Edit: Sorry, haven't noticed/realized the "without that" in your post - so you should hopefully be fine with that!) -
@Ashpool That worked. Having trouble setting up my controller, but I think it's stupid user error :)
Thanks a lot!
