@Fastcat4 you still need to provide the information as requested in post 2! For example, what is the rating of your power supply?
-
@Fastcat4 Also a blinking green light means that the card cannot be read. So bad/fake card or a corrupt card or a write error when you burned the image. Bootleg cards often fail in this manner.
-
@rbaker I bought all of it as a kit . I have the right power supply. I have the right sd card. It was working before I took the suggestion to start over again. I just needed to take roms off . And now I don't have anything. This while project has been nothing but trouble. Sorry to vent and I appreciate the help. It's just frustrating.

@rbaker at one time I had everything downloaded. Emulators were working, every thing showed up on screen like expected. I don't know if when I took the sd card out that it damaged it. But it was fine just full and wouldn't let me set up the controller because the pi had no more room
-
@Fastcat4 You are describing what to me sounds like a corrupt card. Regardless of it you bought it as a kit or not. I can bundle stuff together into a kit and sell it, but it doesn't mean much more than I've put a raspberry sticker on the SD card to micro SD card adapter then shipped them to you all together.
-
@Fastcat4 You mean the card had no more room? This is unlikely if simply configuring a controller. What concerns me though is that you still have not posted what was requested in post 2! And, what is your power supply? why you don't post this stuff after being asked multiple times is quite frankly astonishing.

@rbaker raspberry pi 3 model b v1.2, power adapter output :5v 2.5a , love rpi 8gb sd card. Because it had worked in the past I didn't see the point. But the pi was giving me the error message that ot didn't have enough space to install kodi or xboxdvr to use controller
-
@Fastcat4 which image exactly did you download and burn to your sd card? Please name it exactly, the file name of the image you burned using Win 32 disk imager
-
@Fastcat4 said in Please Help!:
didn't have enough space to install... xboxdvr to use controller
As a quick sidebar, it should be noted that unless you plan on key-mapping your controller, you should really be using the Xpad driver, as detailed here.

@Fastcat4 ok, do you notice how I am working my way down the list and asking for the things in post 2 again? If you had posted, we would have been past this stage in seconds? Next you need to post what you did to burn the image and which guide you followed.
-
@Fastcat4 Also, did you pull the sd card out with Pi powered up?
-
@rbaker I opened win 32. Selected the file from the file from the desk top and clicked write to write it to the sd card
-
@Fastcat4 did you unzip the image download in order to reveal the writable image?
-
@rbaker yes before I started over
-
@Fastcat4 did you pull the card with the power on?
-
@rbaker yes
-
@Fastcat4 removing the card with the power on can corrupt it. Have you tried an alternative card? What guide did you follow when using Win 32 disk imager? Did you format the card according to the wiki before writing the image file?
-
@rbaker I'm not sure what guide. But I formatted to fat 32. Before writing with win 32. Have tried another card because I don't have one but looks like is the next option.
-
@Fastcat4 Have you read any of the wiki yet?
