Where is config.txt?!?!?

Post by Zacarycaine » Thu Nov 24, 2016 4:15 pm

So I'm at the point in my build where i want to test my audio and I've read that have to go into the config.txt file and change things.

So my question is how on earth do i get to this config.txt file/location.

I am using Helders new 2.0 All in one board.

I am running Retropi 4.0, do i need to be using the other SD card that has the different OS on it?

I read that i could plug the SD card into my pc and mess with it there but there is no config.txt file to be found.

Please please can someone walk me through this I have no idea what I'm doing!

its in /boot/ you need root access to tinker with it.

ssh into your pi and run the command sudo nano /boot/config.txt and you can edit it

Thank you for your reply.

But I'm sorry but I still don't know how to do that.

I understand what you are saying, it makes sense but I dont know how to get there.

If you put the sd card back into your pc you will find config.txt in the root of the sd card, use either wordpad or notepad++ to edit it that's what I do to add the required lines before putting it in the pi zero.
