Recalbox 9 on nespi 3 with rpi3b, very instable or doesnt' boot at all

[romrom77]

Hi all,
My nespi with rpi3b perfectly works with 8.0.2 on 32gb sc card.

Tried fresh install on an identical card, then other brand same capacity, then same brand 64gb, recalbx 9 soetimes starts, with intermitent black screens, sometimes, freeze, and sometimes (now actually...) never boot.

I have tried to change charger, controllers, hdmi cables, but as 8.0.2 perfectly works, i have no clue what's the problem,

please help!

@romrom77 I had the exact same problem. Same Pi, same case. I was going crazy trying to figure it out. Long story short, it’s the case. I plugged my micro usb power source directly into the pi instead of the case’s bypass and it solved all my issues. I just cut a small hole in the back of the case and plug the power direct now, I have an on off button on the power cable. It makes the front button unusable (at least the power light still works…) but you’ll have a working pi again. I’ll eventually get a new case, but for now it works

Same for me.
upgrade on same card; not working Screen goes black.
From imager_1.7.4, I installed the Raspberry OS and had no pb to get something on the screen.
RecalBox re-installed, wizard creates 3 drives on my SD card, but still no luck.
Happy with anyone who can provide link to download previous Recolbox version.
Thanks

A reply to myself and for all user.
Solution exists: in RECALBOX partition, replace file recalbox-user-config.txt by version you can find here:

I did it and reboot. it works like a charm!
