Updated drivers in retropie setup, now causes system to crash while booting

LunaN0x

This is my first post I'm very new at this so I'm sorry if my formatting is not up to par.
It's a raspberry pi 3+, the power source is the one that came with the kit,
HP keyboard
XBONE controller plugged in USB
Small travel mouse not sure the brand also USB
It runs Raspbian and Retropie both in the newest versions, this just happened today.

I exited Emulationstation and launced Retropie-Setup, selected Update All Drivers option in one of the packages menus, it updated for some time then the system black screened and was unresponsive. Rebooting the system it loads up to the Retropie splash screen thing and crashes.
I have no idea how to fix this, as there is no way to get to the command line at all before it crashes? I have like a potato quality video of it booting if that helps I can try to link it below.

It's a Raspbery Pi 3 B+***

What drivers do you have installed ? You normally don't need to install a driver unless you have a specific hardware device/gamepad that needs it.

Rebooting the system it loads up to the Retropie splash screen thing and crashes.

What does 'crash' mean ? Do you get an error on the screen from the system or from EmulationStation crashing ?

LunaN0x

Crash means, it gets up to emulationstation's RetroPie splashscreen and the screen promptly goes black and unresponsive. I selected update all drivers in an attempt to get the xbox one controller working on bluetooth since currently I have it plugged in USB.

I'm sorry for the horrible quality of this video but maybe this explains it even slightly

Yes, but which drivers did you install ? Did you install all of them ?

LunaN0x

@mitu Yes, I installed all of them.

There was an old issue when installing the controlblock driver - the controlblock service would shutdown the system - right on boot - if there wasn't a ContolBlock attached.
However, this was solved and you need to explicitely configure the Controlblock service to start in order for that to happen. From your short video, I see something similar happening. You didn't mention what version of RetroPie version you have (latest is a little vague), but did you do any such configuration after installing the Controlblock driver ?

@mitu Sorry for the vagueness, like I said I'm pretty new to this, and I only am able to see info that's visible on the SD card like looking at it in file explorer so I can't really tell anything. This is the guide I used to install RetroPie itself https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/

I've added Scraper, skyscraper, and I think that's about all for optional packages.

I didn't configure anything though like you mentioned before this happened, like I said it went from updating installers to crashing like in the video, I'll see if I can get a clearer photo of any of the text

@LunaN0x The picture shows a disk check - probably because you've cut the power without shutting the Pi properly.
I'd suggest you reinstall - if you're just starting out - and don't needlessly install any drivers. For the XBox BT driver, there's an alternative driver which is not part of RetroPie - github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo.

Did you wait a while to let the disk check finish?
