Trouble with WiFi connection and adding roms- mintypi lite

Post by tradeka42 » Fri Aug 20, 2021 9:36 am

Hi everyone! I’m new to the forum here! I just completed my mintypi lite build and everything is working but I can’t get it to connect to the internet, and I’m also lost on figuring out how to add roms. I’m thinking I messed up something with the wpa supplicant file so maybe someone could copy and paste the full text here so I could just try to copy that? I know I’ll be able to add roms with ftp but I was thinking at least before I get the Internet figured out I could just do it directly onto the sd card from my computer, but there is no obvious folder. Do I create a folder? With other emulation devices I’ve used that have firmware flashed to an sd card, typically there is a roms folder with folders for each system inside, but not on my sd card for the mintypi. Can I even add roms this way? Any advice you can give me would be great

You can only add directly to the SD card if you have a linux system set up.

This was exactly what I needed! Once I got it connected I didn’t have any problems with ftp and everything is up and running now. Thanks for you help!
