Well, then I voided the warranty, I knew that in the back of my mind but didn't think about it so late at night. :( Luckily it's a $10 board.

But being back in March, this was resolved in Raspbian according to the links but I had the issue on a new Pi Zero W the other day with the latest image of Retropie for Pi1/0.

I'll have to remove the flag and see if it fixed it when I upgraded the sd card ( cant remember if i did it right before or right after, I was half distracted by Smallville reruns).

Thank you
