      @herb_fargus I've tried this image and it doesn't work with the Pi Zero W. I thought there was an updated img that people were using?

        The standard 0/1 image on the download page should now work with a Pi Zero W. Can you try it again? If it's still not working please let us know the exact issue you're seeing.

          @tashman I downloaded the image and used both Win32DiskImager and Etcher to flash it to my SD card. It doesn't boot in the Zero W. I was able to use NOOBS and get to the bootloader, but obviously RetroPie isn't available.

                @SIB217 As far as I understand, that update image was only a temporary fix until a new RetroPie update was released. It is obsolete, now.

                  @Flavor Oh ok. Not sure if the latest img is supposed to be the updated version, but I still have the same issue. Trying got post a new topic with my info, but I can't seem to figure out how to add a tag LOL

                      @SIB217 I think it should include Pi Zero W support. Have you tried a regular Raspbian image to see if your hardware works properly?

                        @Flavor Yeah I was able to install Raspian Lite with NOOBS and it worked fine. I am building this for a friend and would prefer the RetroPie, so it will just boot into it for him.
