      I have a Pi Zero W 1.1 with a 3.1amp USB power supply. I downloaded retropie 4.3 from this page and used win32diskimager to write it to a sandisc 16gb class19 sd card. When I boot up my pi 0 w it won't load and just shows the rainbow screen. When I replace the pi 0 w with a pi 0 it boots just fine. How can I fix this? I don't have any controllers plugged in just hdmi and power.

        It seems my previous post disappeared. Essentially what I said was have you tried re-seating the sd card and made sure it was fully pushed in? I've done this a few times where I thought it was in and it wasn't and it caused the rainbowscreen

          Yes the sd card is fully seated.
