      Upgrading the OS is not supported by Raspbian nor RetroPie. You probably have found some instructions on how to upgrade using apt and updating its configuration files in /etc/apt, but it's not a recommended process, especially for a beginner.

      If you wish to use an up-to-date/current version, use the image from http://retropie.org.uk/download. We don't support 3rd party image, as outlined in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

      @dankcushions ah wow I didn't know that. Still though, not sure I can get much overclock put of pi zero anyway, a few online mention 1080 or so, but I doubt that'll give a significant boost to be worth it.

      How are you connecting the devices - do you have an USB hub (and which type) ? Can you check the system log with dmesg to see if any errors appear there when the controller becomes unresponsive ? What power source (and no, a phone charger is not a proper power source) are you using ?

      Hi @barbudreadmon,

      I'm not sure if you are the best person to ask this question to, but since you started this thread I'm going to give it a try.

      I have been using the Cyclone: enable option and setting frameskip: 1 on FB Neo on Retropie (PiZero), and I surely see a substantial improvement in performance.
      As I wrote in my previous message from last year, when I try to load/save a game, emulationstation crashes and it goes back to the game list.

      Yesterday I saw that there is a new version of Retropie (Version 4.5.1) available, and in the change-log it's mentioned that it now supports Cyclone for improved performance.
      I tried it from a fresh install, but sadly I get the same issues.

      Do you have any suggestions that could help me in debugging and hopefully fixing the issue?

      Thanks for any help you can provide.

      @arrowhead The driver is available to be installed from the RetroPie setup menu - in the Manage Packages / Manage driver packages section, so you don't need to install it manually. In fact, this is explained in the page I quoted, in the Installation section.

      The Pi 1/0 utilize armv6 processors and the 2/3 use armv7. The images are optimized to accommodate the difference.

      You might would consider upgrading to a bigger sized micro sd card. 8 gb is usually the minimum as the OS will require a good part of the available free size of the micro sd card to be be installed.

      I would say an 8 gb or even better a 16 gb micro sd card should be sufficient.

      @jay81uk The problem with the Pi0 image not working with the Pi0W was fixed within a day or two of the Pi0ws release as far as I can remember.
