        Directly after initially starting the machine. Extracted downloaded files from .zip to formatted SD card, power on, raspi square appears and then this is the first screen. So I guess this is noobs.

            @acris Yes, I used the SD Formatter tool for this. I tried with two SD cards, both 16GB. One is a Sandisk Ultra class 10, the other card (Transcend Premium 400x class 10) doesn't seem to be supported according to the compatibility list. Both do not work! All other USB items were removed so that only HDMI and power supply are attached. Must be something with the Raspi?!

              Do you have anything on the GPIO ? Could you try running raspbian or retropie if you still have them at hand. Looks like your pi is booting in safe mode

                @subs The GPIOs are free. Retropie is running without any problem. I also saw other hints about jumpers on re(set). Tomorrow I will get a Raspi 3 and check if it works with this one...

                        can you try to remove disablesafemode from the recovery.cmdline ? It should be a regular (linux) text file, open with an approriate text editor that supports linux end line

                          @subs The content of this file is as following:

                          "runinstaller quiet ramdisk_size=32768 root=/dev/ram0 init=/init vt.cur_default=1 elevator=deadline silentinstall"

                          Should I try to add this? -> "avoid_safe_mode=1"

                            add disablesafemode right after silentinstall, before the double quote
