RetroPie v4.2 on a Pi Zero W?
-
I believe 4.2 is the latest version... does this now install fine on the Zero W?
-
I've been wondering about this also. What exactly is the difference between the pi zero and regular 2/3 image? Is it mostly just emulator choice and some defaults in the main config file like memory split? Or are there some low level tweaks that actually make it run better?

@Capeman different defaults, and zero/rpi1 images built for armv6, whilst rpi2/rpi3 images built for armv7 with neon optimisations.

So does 4.2 work ok with the Zero W, or do I need to patch it?

@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.
