Hi there,

Got myself a pi3 a few weeks ago. I’m new to this environment. Mounted recalbox on one sd card to relive the good old days. installed raspbian on another sd card for other purposes . Everything worked fine. Reading about the pi3 i figured i could have a dual boot SD card. I followed all the step very carefully.

Went through the whole process installing noobs copying the files to the OS folders etc. Now when i Turn on the pi noobs boots up , when i select raspbian it boots without any issues. When i select recalbox Nothing happens the green led on the board is not blinking.

Got on to read a bunch of forums, checked my power supply, reformat SD card, did new install, same problem. There is obviously something I am missing here but what?

I think the problem is from the SD card setup with "partition type".

  1. You need to check the Recalbox partition has been "primary" yet or not.
  2. If not, i think it will be "logical" then change it to "primary".
  3. Not any working, I think another SD card from other manufacturer is needed to check again for compatible :)

Try to switch from NOOBS to PINN (https://github.com/procount/pinn). I have downloaded PINN-Lite from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pinn/files/pinn-lite.zip and started using PINN just like NOOBS by copying OSes to the os folder.

When PINN boots, the OSes was for me in the different tabs (Games, Media, etc.)
