Emulation Station not loading. Loads to Command Prompt

[MaxHekami]

I have installed retropie 3 times now on my PI A+. Everytime I turn on the Pi I am greeted with the RetroPie Splash screen. I am then dumped directly into the command prompt. I have ran an update and upgrade. I have also run the retropie setup script.
If I type emulationstation into the command prompt, I am redirected to a fresh command prompt.

@MaxHekami First you should go here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and reveal to the everyone what we are dealing with.

I have installed retropie 3 times now on my PI A+.

Using what method and with what image exactly (if an image was used)?

[columboscoat]

Pi A+? Did you download the correct image? The Pi Zero and 1 have a single core processor. The 2 and 3 are quad core. You probably have the wrong image.DL the correct disk image and re-flash, that should sort it.

@columboscoat so I was wrong I have a B+
However I attempted to download the 0/1 image.
Installed it using DD and get a Kernal Panic now.

[columboscoat]

Just start fresh. DL the correct image this time...

[columboscoat]

I'm still confused. Which Pi do you have?

[columboscoat]

You know what... Read the stuff at the top. If you want help then post the requested info. If not, then, I'm out

[MaxHekami]

@columboscoat Sorry.
Pi Model: B+
Power Supply 2v
Retropie 4.01 image for Pie 1 and 0
USB Device connected Canapi Wifi dongle, and a logitech keyboard

I used the the linux dd method it install "sudo dd bs=4M if=~/Desktop/retropie-4.1-rpi1_zero.img of=/dev/mmcblk0"
I am not receiving a kernel panic

[columboscoat]

So you have a Pi 1 B+ ? Go into Raspi-config and set the GPU memory to 256. The Pi 1 has 512 Mb RAM. It needs at least 64 to show any GUI, I believe.

[MaxHekami]

@columboscoat thank you will I will try that.

[columboscoat]

@MaxHekami edit: Mb.... showing my age! Good luck. I had lots of issues first time. Google and trial & error helped loads.

[rbaker]

@MaxHekami 2V power supply? If so, nothing will work.

[columboscoat]

@rbaker It's a Pi 1 B+... I think. 2A is more than enough.

[columboscoat]

@rbaker maybe he means 2Volts... then feck it. He's lucky to even see the CLI. Sort your PSU out, mate!
