Pi Zero W Retropie

[VeteranGamer]

if anyone gets their Pi Zero W and their Retropie build does not work on it, then your not the only one....

I got hold of my Pi Zero W the day after release and tried to test it out straight away, but my Retropie builds would not work... did a fresh install and again no luck.... luckily I wasnt the only one...

I found a img that works

i'm sure there gonna be an update soon to accommodate the Pi Zero W

If you install the normal image on a standard pi zero, then update, it will then work on the zero.

I think there is a file that needs updating so it knows what a zero w is

so you've updated yours now, because i'm running the new img now... but if you've updated it, please share

yeah, i took an image i downloads on Jan 19th, put it in the pi zero W and got the rainbow screen.

put it back in my GBz and updated it on friday (Mar 3rd)

Put it back in the pi zero W and it booted fine

so you've started from a fresh img....and didnt update your current build

It was an old image released before the zero w was common knowledge

Ran the update inside RetroPie settings using a normal zero (not w) then that made the SD card work on my w
