General / Attract mode booting to blank screen
« on: January 30, 2018, 03:07:22 PM »
I updated attract mode and on reboot everything goes black. More in depth info follows.
I have a raspberry pie 3. Im new to this so i got a 128 gb card with everything pre loaded. We started using emulation station. Wanted to try out attract mode. Didnt prefer it and while trying to change it back to es accidentally hit update Attract mode and waited an hour for that to finish. Then finally it completed and i rebooted. raspberry has a cool boot animation. Attract mode plays random arcade sounds over the top of it. That still happens however the sound stops and the screen goes black and i dont know how to interrupt the boot to get to a terminal to set it to boot to emulation station. I tried what akafox suggested in another post. No joy. In window you can hit f2 for example and you can interupt the boot. Is there something similar in raspbian or attract mode to interupt the boot sequence and get to the terminal? Once the screen goes black keyboard commands dont seem to work but i am willing to try other key combos to see if they work. Tab does not work the f keys dont work.
Any info and suggestions would be great. Thanks.
