GPi Zero 2 v1.52 & GPi Zero v1.15(Retropie Images for Pi Zero/Zero2 + GPi Case 1 & GPi Case 2W)
-
The hostname is "gpizero2" by default.
I ran into this a few times myself, but doing Safe Shutdown with the power switch then turning it back on would always fix it. I tried to find a way to remove the shutdown and restart options from the menu, but short of recompiling ES I didn't see a way to do that.
I like ES, but it gave me more problems than anything doing all this.
-
@sliver-x But under ssh login user are: pi and pass: rasperry this the same as the default .
There are no changes here right? i can't connect using ssh always get acess denied. -
The credentials are the same, yes. You have to enable SSH out of the box. I made a script under "Advanced Settings" that will handle enabling and disabling it from EmulationStation.
edit Also note that the image has no SSH keys on a clean flash: When you enable it via my script, it generates new ones. If you have cached keys from a previous flash your client will think it's being spoofed and refuse to connect until they are cleared on the client.
-
@sliver-x Unfortunately that didn't work; I have also already updated the hostname via raspi-config (where it was pi by default). Would updating here break something?

This post is deleted! -
No, it won't break anything. I just changed the hostname, and I can connect to it. Reflashed a clean install, default hostname is reachable after connecting it to WiFi and enabling SSH. Changed the hostname after this, can connect to the new hostname.
Not sure what's going on for you, but it sounds like it's something to do with hostname resolution in whatever is handling DNS in your LAN. Or the machine you're trying to reach it from. Try flushing the DNS cache?
-
@sliver-x I ended up adding an entry to /etc/hosts on my Mac for it to work. Thanks for your help.
-
If you're using a Mac, they use mDNS to do hostname resolution: You need to enable Avahi from "Advanced Settings". Once you do that you shouldn't need a static HOSTS entry.
-
@sliver-x Great, thank you once again.

Just had an idea. With some experimentation, the overclocking script could become an undervolting tool as well. I am currently experimenting with stock 1000MHz freq and an over_voltage value of -1 (negative values are indeed possible for those who didn't know)
If it's stable, I'll keep going down to see if -2 works on my board. The thing is, (and I'm not sure if this is the case or not) if the voltage value is the same as the Pi 3, but the CPU is running underclocked vs the Pi 3, there should be a fairly decent amount of undervolting headroom.
-
The overclocking script I wrote sets the voltage level, even if not present initially in config.txt (At stock voltage): It should be easy to modify for this purpose.
-
@sliver-x yeah, I'm going to modify it myself. Just thought I would throw the idea out there in case you wanted to drop a patch on the OP if you thought the idea was useful.

awesome

How can I make sure all your custom retropie menu options stick between theme changes? Seems changing to say carbon loses all your custom toggles etc. At least it did for me. Any tips on where to look to make sure they appear?
-
The Advanced Settings menu is defined in es_systems like an emulator: It should show up regardless of the theme, even if the theme doesn't have explicit support for it (Like es-carbon).
I just tested it on mine and it shows up under Carbon for me?
-
@sliver-x ok then I'll have to add it back as I believe I overrode the one in /opt since I added emulators that did not show up. That answers my question thank you! I can amend one to the other. That should fix it.
-
@sliver-x hmm well I checked and it's the same yet I only see the default menu items that come in a standard install weird. Any advice on adding them back?
Edit: scratch that in an idiot and was looking at the standard retropie settings I see the entry adding it back now lol.

I can't seem to open the .img file. Windows Imager and Imageburn both give me an error that the file is corrupt or unrecognizable. Anyone get that when they try to image the SD card?
-
@azfunguy are you trying to install the image? Why not use the official raspberry pi imager? It's painless.
-
Does anyone know if it's generally safe to update the OS if needed? Or should we stick to only updating the emulators and packages.
