@redghost357 said in Help, my Retropie won’t boot anymore!!! What do I do?:
Anyways... how exactly can I retrieve the content and roms from this sd Card, I don’t want to lose anything.
Would like detailed steps.
The best and maybe easiest way to do that would be a Linux live system booted on any PC from a usb medium. @mitu already mentioned Ubuntu, which is targeted at "normal users"™ without much technical knowledge. There is a myriad of webpages and videos that explain its usb installation and usage in minute detail.
Another option would be Raspbian, a variant of Debian (which Ubuntu is also based of) for the Raspberry Pi. Its Desktop "Pixel" is also user friendly, if a bit spartan because of the Pis hardware limits. As you may have guessed already, you'd run Raspian directly on your Pi. If you want to try that, you could take a look at NOOBS, an easy-to-use installer for different operation systems for the Pi, including Raspbian. Many Pi vendors offer sd cards with pre-installed NOOBS, some are linked on the NOOBS webpage.
In both cases, you could access the Retropie card (whose Linux file system Windows can't read by itself) and transfer its contents to other usb or network drives before starting the real endeavor, setting up Retropie from scratch.
