      I am having an issue with my raspberry pi zero w. I made a RetroPie cart (to play retro games on my pi) I installed RetroPie 4.4 on a 32GB MicroSD. Did the flash on the SD. Started up everything and it worked fine for a month. No problems at all or anything. So now I decided to add more memory so I’m installed a 256GB MicroSD card. I did the same thing as I did for 32GB SD card and now I’m having a hard time with the RetroPie even getting past the start up text. Also, the pi seems to be running slow and login is constantly being timed out.

        What model of SD card ? We've had posts in the past with 'fake' capacity SDCards that were sold as 128/256 Gb but had less capacity available.
        Please add more details about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

          I used a Sandisk Ultra 32GB MicroSD HC I the first time and worked fine. The other memory stick I used is the Micro SDXC 10 256GB MicroSD XC 1 1 (This memory stick I the one that’s giving me troubles). The power supply I used was a EasyAcc 5V 2A Micro USB power supply. The raspberry pi zero w was purchased from the adafruit website.
