      I bought a titans play console and it was working fine. I recently took out the SD card and loaded it in the MAC so i could create a wifi config file and look at the roms. All I saw was the boot partition (I know why now after reading the forum) I created the wifi config text file in the boot partition and then put the SD card back in the console. However nothing happened when I switched it back on. My samsung tv doesnt not recognize any video feed from the hdmi.

      I then deleted the file I created and tried again but still nothing. I then put the SD card in a linux machine and saw the additional hidden files and system volume folder that the Mac created, so I deleted those but sill nothing happening when I try to boot.

      Have I corrupted the boot partition by loading it in a MAC and writing files to it? How can I fix it? I was able to backup the retropie partition so I have all my roms, emulators and save states. What should my next move be? Can i just format and restore the boot partition without touching the retropie one?

      many thanks

        Sorry, we don't support 3rd party images or pre-sold 'consoles' . You'll have to ask the vendor/seller for support.
