GPi Zero 2 v1.52 & GPi Zero v1.15(Retropie Images for Pi Zero/Zero2 + GPi Case 1 & GPi Case 2W)

@sliver-x Unfortunately that didn't work; I have also already updated the hostname via raspi-config (where it was pi by default). Would updating here break something?

This post is deleted! -
No, it won't break anything. I just changed the hostname, and I can connect to it. Reflashed a clean install, default hostname is reachable after connecting it to WiFi and enabling SSH. Changed the hostname after this, can connect to the new hostname.
Not sure what's going on for you, but it sounds like it's something to do with hostname resolution in whatever is handling DNS in your LAN. Or the machine you're trying to reach it from. Try flushing the DNS cache?
-
@sliver-x I ended up adding an entry to /etc/hosts on my Mac for it to work. Thanks for your help.
-
If you're using a Mac, they use mDNS to do hostname resolution: You need to enable Avahi from "Advanced Settings". Once you do that you shouldn't need a static HOSTS entry.
-
@sliver-x Great, thank you once again.

Just had an idea. With some experimentation, the overclocking script could become an undervolting tool as well. I am currently experimenting with stock 1000MHz freq and an over_voltage value of -1 (negative values are indeed possible for those who didn't know)
If it's stable, I'll keep going down to see if -2 works on my board. The thing is, (and I'm not sure if this is the case or not) if the voltage value is the same as the Pi 3, but the CPU is running underclocked vs the Pi 3, there should be a fairly decent amount of undervolting headroom.
-
The overclocking script I wrote sets the voltage level, even if not present initially in config.txt (At stock voltage): It should be easy to modify for this purpose.
-
@sliver-x yeah, I'm going to modify it myself. Just thought I would throw the idea out there in case you wanted to drop a patch on the OP if you thought the idea was useful.

awesome

How can I make sure all your custom retropie menu options stick between theme changes? Seems changing to say carbon loses all your custom toggles etc. At least it did for me. Any tips on where to look to make sure they appear?
-
The Advanced Settings menu is defined in es_systems like an emulator: It should show up regardless of the theme, even if the theme doesn't have explicit support for it (Like es-carbon).
I just tested it on mine and it shows up under Carbon for me?
-
@sliver-x ok then I'll have to add it back as I believe I overrode the one in /opt since I added emulators that did not show up. That answers my question thank you! I can amend one to the other. That should fix it.
-
@sliver-x hmm well I checked and it's the same yet I only see the default menu items that come in a standard install weird. Any advice on adding them back?
Edit: scratch that in an idiot and was looking at the standard retropie settings I see the entry adding it back now lol.

I can't seem to open the .img file. Windows Imager and Imageburn both give me an error that the file is corrupt or unrecognizable. Anyone get that when they try to image the SD card?
-
@azfunguy are you trying to install the image? Why not use the official raspberry pi imager? It's painless.
-
Does anyone know if it's generally safe to update the OS if needed? Or should we stick to only updating the emulators and packages.
-
@sliver-x I love the theme, it works and looks fantastic in my GPi with the zero w 2. Is there a reason Neo Geo Pocket is not a system? I noticed Neo Geo Pocket Color is and the roms show when I add them, just not the original Neo Geo Pocket.
EDIT: I just added it to the es_systems.cfg file. No big.
-
Unlike the Wonderswan/Wonderswan Color, where there were quite a few black and white only releases, there was, IIRC, 10 non-color NGP games ever released.
Due to this I've never treated them as separate systems on any emulation setup I've made. I have both .NGP and .NGC extensions set up for EmulationStation, so both are detected and handled by the one "System".
Upgrading should generally work (I was able to do a full upgrade of everything from the state of 12/31 to day before yesterday fine), unless dtbo files get updated, then either the LCD or sound will have issues without manual intervention to fix. This would be the same case for any OS image for the machine, not just mine, due to how the LCD/etc hardware needs patches to function correctly.

I just made some mods and opened up the hdmi port. I wasn't able to use it successfully though. Any tips? I'm gonna try another tv since I know mine tho new can be wonky about it. I tried a few different ways but didn't have any success. Nothing broke but it just didn't care for displaying. I'm using a straight cable for testing. I'm gonna try other tv's tomorrow but so far no luck. I'm hoping it's just my tv since I'd never use it personally on my own tv having an rpi4 rig with synced saves.
