          I'm trying it now. It is quite slow (I'm using a 4Gb class 2 card) and it's hanging at:-

          [FAILED] "Failed to start apply_noobs_os_config.service"

              This is using the 4.1.17 image that Buzz provided by the way. The zip is about half the size of the normal 4.1 zero image, is that to be expected?

                    what image should we apply the fix to - Buzz's one or an existing image available on the rp site?

                      @chubsta also could this be done on a Pi 3 as I no longer have access to the older pi zero

                        @thething1979 sorry when I wrote older I meant any other pi that wasn't the one that wouldn't boot.

                            Something may have gone wrong with the image generation - I will check / confirm.

                              They were not correct - I'm uploading new images now.

                                  @BuZz - the new 4.1.18 image is working fine now on the Zero W. I haven't tried the Berryboot one. Many thanks for this.

                                    @tashman This is great news. I bought a couple to test, but they haven't arrived yet.

                                          @spagbol I've played a selection of MAME games and all seems well. Yep, WiFi looking good - no more struggling with my dodgy dongle!

                                            Just to add - it's running just fine (so far anyway) powered by a 1 amp TV USB port.
