Retrostone problems
Posted: Wed 15 Aug 2018 12:45
Hi there!
Finally got my Retrostone yesterday, was really excited to get it running! Unfortunately, I have a lot of problems with it...
Main problem is basically to get Retrorange running! It only boots like every 30th time I switch my Retrostone on! For the other 29 times, every boot seems to be different! At the start, I always get the 2/3 white, 1/3 blinking blue screen as described in the troubleshoot FAQ, but I guess this is normal?
So now to the problems... Sometimes it just stays like this, sometimes I get the image with the consoles and the "slim" text, then sometimes it gets dark and stays like this, but most of the time I get command lines, I've seem many of them, and they also seem to be different at every boot! Sometimes I get 2 lines, sometimes they keep running like forever with nubers counting the lines and so on... It's really frustrating!
When I get to run Retrorange, I get a blue screen which looks not to healthy on the screen and then the image with the mushroom appears and it loads, but as I said, this does't happen too often...
Since yesterday, I tried a lot to get my Retrostone running! I used different SD cards, redownloaded the image, tried to flash the image with Win32DiskImager as well as with Etcher, nothing worked...
Hope to get help soon, as I'm really impatient to get this thing running!
Thanks in advance!
