AFAIAA Noobs as stated launches each O/S as required.

Maybe BerryBoot would give you more control as it is a BootLoader rather than a Boot Manager

We used to default to 720p60 in this case, but were advised not to by the hdmi guy here. 720p60 is not manditory, so may not work, whereas VGA is manditory, so we should use that in this case. You w...

Re: Designing a custom power supply for Pi

"Power supply
Use a 5V micro USB power supply to power your Raspberry Pi. Be careful that whatever power supply you use outputs
at least 5V; insufficient power will cause your Pi to behave in strange ways."
