Hi guys
I have the same problem. I finished my GBZ with Helder AIO board and I can not start up WiFi USB. I have two different, I tried both on the PC and on the Raspberry Pi 2 and are functional, but with GBZ Pi Zero does not work. After connecting not lit and in settings not unable to see my wifi. USB ports are functional on both, I connected a keyboard and works seamlessly.

WiFi need to copy roms to your SD card, if you know the other way, I'll be grateful for your advice (via USB key with folder "retropie" also not working on Zero)

My support thread has the answer and fix for this:

Chat with me and other members On Discord

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

Thanks Helder, helped me your solution "b":

3. Why does my USB keyboard work but my USB wifi dongle is not being recognized?
a. This is likely due to interference, try twisting the D+ and Dwires
or strip the
wires from a factory made USB cable (e.g. from an old mouse or A to B cable)
b. As a workaround, add “dwc_otg.speed=1” (without quotes) to your cmdline.txt.
This limits USB speed to 1.1 (as supposed to 2.0) which tolerates more
interference. Use method 2 or method 3 to preconfigure your wifi network
settings ahead of time as setting the USB speed to 1.1 may prevent some
keyboards from working

c. Try entering in the config.txt on a separate line "max_usb_current = 1", and reboot.

Stick the SD card into a computer and the cmdlnie.txt is on the root of the card.
