Raspberry Pi Zero W?
-
This is using the 4.1.17 image that Buzz provided by the way. The zip is about half the size of the normal 4.1 zero image, is that to be expected?
-
@BuZz Thanks for those. I'll try them tomorrow and report back.
-
Check out @jacklaidlaw fix here - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/8629/pi-zero-w-won-t-boot-retropie/4
-
what image should we apply the fix to - Buzz's one or an existing image available on the rp site?
-
@chubsta also could this be done on a Pi 3 as I no longer have access to the older pi zero
-
@thething1979 sorry when I wrote older I meant any other pi that wasn't the one that wouldn't boot.
-
@jacklaidlaw cool, will give it a try in the morning
-
Something may have gone wrong with the image generation - I will check / confirm.
-
They were not correct - I'm uploading new images now.
-
Please try the new images

@BuZz - the new 4.1.18 image is working fine now on the Zero W. I haven't tried the Berryboot one. Many thanks for this.
-
@tashman This is great news. I bought a couple to test, but they haven't arrived yet.
-
@BuZz Thanks for fixing them so quickly.
-
@BuZz Not tried any games yet but the new image installs, wi-fi and Bluetooth both working. Thanks!
-
@spagbol I've played a selection of MAME games and all seems well. Yep, WiFi looking good - no more struggling with my dodgy dongle!
-
Just to add - it's running just fine (so far anyway) powered by a 1 amp TV USB port.
-
Excellent stuff - bought my Pi0 on day of release and really struggled to get anywhere with it, and because i am new to it all thought it was my fault!
Thanks for uploading a new image, will save me a lot of work, i am only just finishing the setup on my Pi3 so this is most welcome

Hi BuZz, I just have a pi zero W, what should I put on my SD card for it to work (sorry for my english, i'm french)? Thank you ;-)

I love what the Raspberry Pi people do, but seriously? Why would they EVER take the time, money, and effort to create another Pi Zero product when they can't even keep up production on the Pi Zero itself? Like 6 different official suppliers within a 150 mile radius of me have been out of stock of them for WEEKS now (and even greater shortages during the last year+....read about similar issues with all the other suppliers as well).
...just doesn't make sense to me.
-
@Dochartaigh The original PiZero had stock issues due to being released at the same time as Pi3 and keeping up with demand for both.
This isn't the case this time round, so you should see better stock levels. I've just checked PiHut, Pimoroni in the UK and both have stock currently.I would also expect some of the recent issues with standard PiZero stock as been down to this imminent release.
