Crashes upon loading
Posted: Wed 22 Jan 2020 11:47
Hi there,
Received my RetroStone 2 yesterday. Followed the tutorial steps to format in FAT32 and flash the OS image on to the SD card, started the system and let it go. Everything seemed okay at first, although it seemed to take a while to boot.
However, upon entering the emulation program, I can play around for about 30 seconds before the screen goes black (or on one occasion, totally white) and I have to hard reset the system using the power button. The system then hangs on the boot screen and won’t load any further.
I have attempted a number of times to reflash the SD card, also using a different PC to flash the image, different card readers, using diskpart and different formatting programs, using a different SD card, and every time when I reflash the image the above happens again – the emulation program loads, then it black screens and I’m unable to do anything except hard reset.
Anything I can try to fix this?
(I've already posted a ticket on the 8BCraft site.)
