      Hi I'm new here, I have a pi zero 2 w, and I got this 3.5 inch iPistBit screen. I'm trying to install the driver for the thing but I really just don't get it. I can't get ssh working since i don't know the ip address due to not having a screen. is there either a way I can install the necessary stuff without ssh? I know you can also do ssh over usb but I couldn't figure that out either. thx very much for reading

        If you don't have a direct interface (i.e. monitor + keyboard) to the RPI, then you need SSH. If you don't know the IP, you can try connecting using the hostname instead - for the RetroPie image the hostname is retropie (you can also try with retropie.local)
