      I have downloaded and flashed RetroPie 4.2 to the new Pi Zero W. All is well except when sitting at the home screen my amp meter says the pi is consuming upwards of 400 milliamps and gets considerably hot. However when I boot up a snes game the current drops to 240 milliamps and temps return to normal. Please Help!
