Hey guys, so Windows corrupted my boot partition so I installed retropie in a new sd card copied all files from the new sdcard boot partition to newly made boot partition on the old card.

So now I am able to boot retropie to Emulstation but I cant do anything because retropie is not connection to the network and it's not responding to the keyboard or controller.
F4 not working.

Could this be an issue not related to the boot partition?
If so is the main partition of retropie a regular EXT3? So I may browse and copy all of my files?

Thanks in advance

Most likely yes. The procedure you performed is not guaranteed to recover another system.

It's an Ext4 partition - should be accessible also as Ext3, but I advise using a Linux installation to try and mount it.
