      Does anyone know if it's possible to setup wifi through RetroPie setup with a game pad? I know you can preconfigure it to connect to certain networks but I would like to be able to connect to any network just using the controller. The issue that I run into obviously is that you need a keyboard to input the password as the interface is not setup to bring up a text selection box. Just curious. Trying to set my RetroPie up to be fully functional with just a game pad. Any info is much appreciated.

        @nwgalloway nope. Not until an on-screen keyboard is integrated

        This is the only solution in the interim.
