Loading games on MintyPi
I was just wondering how I get games on the Mintypi? I entered my wifi credentials in the wpa_supplicant.conf file but it isn't being recognized. I then tried a Micro_USB to USB A and it still isn't doing anything.

Re: Loading games on MintyPi
One thing to check is to see if WiFi is enabled. If you hold the function button (the star), does it say WiFi is enabled? If it is disabled, keep holding the function button and press and release left on the d-pad. Let go of the function button and press it again to make sure it is enabled since it doesn't do a live update.
Have you gone in to the RetroPie menu and "Show IP"?
Also, the USB won't work unless you are running a linux instance. A virtual box with device passthrough would work.

Re: Loading games on MintyPi
I am starting to think that there is something messing up when the supplicant is getting transferred because I just had one do what you and someone else is describing. There is a new image in the works so we might have to wait for that to be released to see if things are fixed.

Also, try different keyboards. The more lightweight it is, the better. Someone else had good luck using a stock Dell keyboard with an adaptor.
