retropie commodore 64

Regarding the wifi, it may be worth a try to install a desktop OS on your Pi and try to get the wifi working through that, at least that way you will be able to do it in a graphical environment which should be easier, and you will also know that the wifi works ok. Once you know all works ok, and you have the correct details etc you can always go to a retropie image install

@chubsta the wifi work perfectly with desktop OS. i try all in retropie for working wifi but nothing.

Can you describe exactly:
-which Raspberry Pi model do you have (it should be written on the Pi next to GPIO port)
-what steps did you take to make wifi work?

jim78b

@arkive Raspberry Pi 1 Model B
700 MHz single-core ARM1176JZF-S
i think 256 MB of ram

when i am in retropie setup i connect to wifi and enter name of ssid and password

A Former User

Ok, so you're using Pi 1 B, meaning you have an external "key" aka dongle/adapter for wifi. Can you check what make it is to make sure it is compatible. Also, you can try to check that it's actually functional by trying it on your PC maybe.

Then you say you "connect to wifi". Does it mean you went into Retropie > WiFI > Connect to WiFi network and saw the list of routers there? Was the name of your router listed?

@arkive yes adapter and work fine in OS .
And for the second reply ...Yes i did it .it is correctly i see my wifi connection

@jim78b my ruoter is :tim-12345 i presso enter and then insert my password .
Is strange that the caps lock don t work !the led is off Even for another usb keyboard

A Former User

So...your wifi actually IS working. You just can not enter the password if I understand correctly. If it worked, you'd see "Wireless ESSID: tim-12345" above the "connect to WIFi network" option.

If this is the case, the question should be "why is my keyboard not working properly?"

@arkive i suppose to insert the correctly password .I try to use caps lock in the terminal by Pull f4 and it works.

@jim78b however don't work, for me is a problem of raspberry
