Once we figured out the power issue, we were messing with the config since the screen was very hard to read. It was using a default theme, and we tried to switch to the "recalbox-gpicase" theme, when the system became unbootable; it would get to what I believe is the es loading screen (the 4 pacman ghosts) and never proceed. I popped out the sdcard and looked at the logs; the theme seemingly doesn't define a bunch of the consoles, so they error out. I'll try to set the theme back.

@surfrock66 Actually, upon further investigation, it appears to be a power issue? I cannot get the system to boot on batteries; once it boots I can run on batteries, but it HAS to be plugged in when being powered on?

My son received a Retroflag GPi Case with a Pi Zero W 2 for Christmas and we've been trying to set up Retroflag on it. We flash the card that came with it, insert it into the slot on the pi, it boots up fine. Then, we connect it to the Wifi, sftp games over, and reboot...at this time it enters a boot loop and never comes back up. Typically, it gets to the install screen with the message "Installing Stuff..." then the screen kind of fades and it just restarts.

We've tried this 3 times, with 2 SD cards and 2 different flashing methods.

We aren't sure what the next steps should be in troubleshooting?
