      So I decided to download recalbox for my raspberry pi and I did everything as instructed, downloaded, unzipped into my microsd and put it into my RPi, the thing is, when i put in the power, nothing happened, just a black screen. I do believe the Raspberry pi does have enough energy since I frequently use Kodi on it with it's power supply being from an extension. But the yellow light doesn't light up. I need help.

          It MUST be FAT32 formatted! Check the wiki!
