@Donkbot said in USB wifi dongle and retropie: Am I going to have to build the project first? There are installation instructions (using dkms) on the project page - there's no need for a 'release'.

We don't support 3rd party images - image your sd card with the image from retropie.org.uk/download. We don't know how the sdcard you purchased was configured or pre-installed with RetroPie.

Yeah, probably, it's not that common with enterprise networks I guess. Thank you for making that clear though. I actually solved it just now though. For anyone wondering I managed to connect to the network on another machine (Ubuntu) and used Network Manager. I then checked the log (according to this link) with the command: journalctl -u NetworkManager This gave me this config for wpa_supplicant.conf: country=SE ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 ap_scan=1 network={ ssid="Wifi-Name" scan_ssid=1 bgscan="simple:30:-65:300" key_mgmt=WPA-EAP WPA-EAP-SHA256 password="password" eap=PEAP fragment_size=1266 phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2" identity="username" proactive_key_caching=1 } This might not work for everyone else since the configs are always different for every network. So be sure to do the same steps as I did if you can't get it to work. So glad I finally got this, haha.

@MartyH1988 First try to follow all these steps (all of them from the top!): https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Wifi/ Then to transfer roms over the network follow these steps: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/#samba-shares Make sure you place the roms in the right folders! Read the documentation. For example for the SNES: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-System/#roms If you cant find the network share, perhaps try this way of accessing your pi through SFTP. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/#sftp I've been unable to connect to the network share on my pi. For me it turned out I'm having a problem that windows 10 had certain group policies disabled that blocked the share. The fix was explained here. Though, I didnt like the idea of leaving insecure policies open, so I decided to transfer roms with SFTP. Or alternatively, using an old windows 7 laptop, which could access the share.

@BGallagherLA wondering if that is just an automatic thing with NetPlay and is just a computer player or something rather than someone actually joining? I just don't understand how someone can randomly join a game when you need the proper external IP to be able to access the game, and the exact same rom set, emulator and RetroPie version in order for it to work

Hi, thanks, I got it working now. After checking all different settings of my router hardware and the powerline adapters, I resetted the powerline / WiFi adapter to factory defaults an reconfigured it. Strange enough, without changing anything, it works now. I guess that it was a problem with the firmware of the powerline / WiFi adapter since the web interface wasn't available on this specific adapter as well.

Thanks. Change name of ssid was not solution. I'm in Italy . I can connect (with WPA2-PSK) only the first time after install of retropie 4.6 on my rpi4. After a reboot i can't connect. With your hint i can reconnect. Finally. NB: I see a log on startup with "FAILED to start dhcpcp on all interface" and statup is sometime slow than before (for counting time of something), but wifi works fine. Thank you very much, PiUser239043

Hostname works but only with Ethernet Tried without Ethernet just continues trying to connect I usedhostname retropie

@BenMcLean said in Why the hell doesn't RetroPie come with an On-Screen Keyboard?: We've known how to do this for a decade and a half at least. I don't. Who is this illustrious "we" you're talking about?

thank a lot for you help problem solved

@mitu The Bluetooth is down. I could not get my controllers to connect. They would with the usb cable, but not Bluetooth. I think the module might be done.

@SolemnSpirit Thanks that helped!, the moment i remove the key_mgmt, i was able to connect to the wireless! :D i appreciate you posting this!

A Raspberry Pi Zero doesn't have a WiFi NIC, so not being able to connect to WiFi is the expected result. Only Pi Zero W and Pi Zero WH have WiFi NICs.

sorry my bad just new to forrums etc and the retro thing :)
