help got one of these cases all setup ect fully charged battries ect..... only powers on when I use usb lead when I use battries nothing powers on not even the red power light and yes battries installed correctly and fully charged ikea 2450
I just managed to get a GPI and couldn't find a decent clear tutorial on how to setup so Thank you so much. 😁
I set one of these up recently before I saw your video. I had no idea that the wifi connection could be preconfigured. Thank you so much. Learned quite a few things and went back to update my build.
No problem! Glad the video was helpful 👍
One of the best guides out there for this. great detail and easy to follow for complete beginners
You omitted the part about flipping the safe shutdown switch to 'ON' prior to installing batteries. You did mention this in your written guide. I installed everything with the switch in the 'OFF' position, and have been using the on/off switch since and haven't experienced any problems. Thanks for the guide!
Ah, thanks for pointing this out!
Dude this is perfect - thanks so much for doing this (incredibly detailed) guide!
What about the people without wifi???!
Thanks a lot for making a video of especially the cartridge assembly.
I know there are plenty of guides but I just received my GPi case this morning and was ultra scared because of those tiny screws.
No problem!
Superb guide, thank you!
Really helped me a whole lot especially the ssh and wifi. Thank you.
No problem!
Thanks for this tutorial, you helped me much. I also use the batteries of the Ikea since some years ago and endure the same as the Panasonic Eneloop that I also have.
No problem! Thanks for watching :)
Great video! Thank you for the Mac instructions
Great guide. Thank you!
Thanks so much! This guide was a life saver!
No problem! Glad it was helpful :)
Thank you for this! I recently picked up a GPi case for $5 lol, just needed the Pi Zero, went with a W and it was missing the ribbon cable and screws. Once that comes in, I'll be golden, esp after your amazing tutorial
Awesome! Glad you found it helpful!
@@Howchoo hmm, something is up, getting nothing when i turn it on. By that I mean no text coming up
Kudos ! Well explained ! :-)
Thanks for this great tutorial. Enjoyed it. \o/
Thanks. This was super helpful and a great guide. A+++ would install again. :P
Glad I could help
Dying over the "what's in the box" flash of Brad Pitt from Seven! Hilarious.... and great tutorial :)
Two Ferry Haha glad you caught that!
ps: loved the little detour on batteries and how recharging works 😂
You can charge batteries in series, but you have to take some precautions in the circuit. I have a sharp palmtop that charges two A size NiMH batteries in series. The charge voltage is 5V from the transformer. Presumably it is charging at less than that. It has a heat sensor which will break contact when it gets hot.
I'm just gonna say for anyone having problems with the pogos connecting properly all the time. I lightly greased the pogos with soldering paste using my finger, it solved all my problems. Took me a month to get brave enough but nothing else worked.
I have a question. Why's my roms folder won't show up on share root on the computer? I didn't even see N64, Dreamcast, or PS1 on recalbox. I'm really frustrated. I tried everything with recalbox. I don't know what am I missing.
Thanks so much for this video! I followed it to the letter, but I'm not getting any sound from my GPi device. It's saying "onboard audio disabled or not present". Any advice? I'm a bit of a noob and I'm not finding the right advice online - thanks!
Can you buy a retro flag pi zero pre built and all installed? So all I’d have to do is stick some batteries in it?
So I get to the part of setting up my gamepad, but it doesnt detect the buttons or dpad, I have tried reseating the micro usb cable,any suggestions?
the first one i ordered i could not get past a powered black screen, so i took it to a professional who said it probably was faulty. ordered a second and im having the same issue, it powers up but no welcome or any sort of prompt. im using windows
Great vid! Does this console allow for regular gameboy game carts to be played?
It does not. But you can emulate them at least (you need to find the ROMs elsewhere and add them)
Hi, that was a great guide for the Mac! Sadly, I have one problem.. So.. I followed your instructions properly and then I inserted the SD card but nothing shows up, only a dark blue screen with nothing. I waited for a long time, but nothing changed. What did I wrong? Have I missed something?
That’s strange-there was probably an issue with the installation. I’d recommend reinstalling everything again. If the issue persists, try using a different SD card and try reseating the ribbon cable.
hey when i try to open the roms folder, it says, "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “roms” can’t be found." Also when i try to open the only rom I was able to put on there, it just quits immediately out of it. thank you!
Weird! Sounds like a networking or permissions issue, or perhaps something got corrupted. It might be easiest to just reinstall the software portion.
Hmm, how do you connect if you are using the standard Zero? Or would that be something you would have to set up on another Zero setup and then pop the card over?
That would certainly work. Or you can remove it from the GPi, connect a WiFi/Ethernet dongle, and log in. Absolute worst case, you could look at what the safe shutdown shell (.sh) script is doing and recreate it/download all those files locally.
@@Howchoo Honestly I think the issue I was concerned with won't be a problem anyway, looking at power benchmarks it seems that the W uses the same power as the base Zero if you turn off the wifi and blutooth on the boot partition. At that point it's just a case of popping out the sd card and messing about on the boot partition on the PC when I want to reactivate. :)
Good to hear! Have fun :)
FOR THOSE ON MAC HAVING ISSUES WITH LOADING ROMS:
The homie u/jackfennimore on Reddit SAVED me as I was going nuts trying to figure this out. So if your Mac and Pi are connected to the same network and powered on, the Retropie volume should mount automatically.
HOWEVER if it doesn't (like it did for me), you can connect directly to the GPi via the GPi's IP address (in a Finder window, click "Go" on the top menu, then "connect to server", then connect as a "Guest" instead of the Admin/main user).
I thought my issue had to do with our Google WiFi being 5ghz, but it appears that wasn't an issue after all.....I just reloaded EVERYTHING (I think I got corrupted on the first go-round), followed u/jackfennimore's tip, and I was finally able to drag and drop my ROMs into the destination folders! Hope this helps! :]
What about special characters or spaces in network passowrds? How do you account for those. I think that is my current hold up to successful wifi connection upon boot up.
Those should be fine as long as they're within the quotation marks. Which character do you think is causing issues?
This is a really good howto!
How do you type in the wifi ssid if there is spaces?
Example ssid is "House of Pain 2.4". Just like that? Or like "House_of_Pain_2.4"
Is this all on Mac? Would luv a step by step for mac users rom's emulators etc
As soon as I start mapping the controls Emulation Station Crashes. It says to make sure I'm using the right image (which I am) and to check your rom file/folder permissions and if running on a raspberry pi to make sure your gpu_split is set high enough and or switch back to using carbon theme. Any ideas?
Hey Evan, unfortunately this could be anything -- your best bet is to reinstall the SD card image and RetroFlag scripts. If it persists, it means it's a hardware issue.
Hi there! I had problems connecting the ssh - however - when I executed the command like this ssh pi@192.168.xx.xx, it worked! Just go to wifi and check your IP.
Yeah, if you ever connected to "another" Raspberry Pi running RetroPie (which shared the @retropie hostname), your computer may attempt to connect to that previous device's IP instead. I always change the hostnames of my Pis to something more unique and easier to identify -- as you can imagine, I can have ~5 running in my house at any given time. Here's a guide for doing that: howchoo.com/g/nmyzm2u0nwu/how-to-change-the-hostname-of-your-raspberry-pi
Did all the steps up to trying to connect to the pi via terminal I keep getting "Could not resolve hostname retropie: nodename nor servname provided, or not known" im on a standard wifi network and all the credentials are entered correctly...any thoughts?
Sorry for the delay! Does the GPi boot normally otherwise? If so, select the RetroPie menu item and find the WiFi config menu item. See if your network is listed as connected there.
@@Howchoo same here. it keeps deleating the wpa_supplicant config file. I edit it, put it on there, put the sd in. No connection. I remove the sd, put it back in the card reader, and the file is gone :(
@@Phi1981 This is supposed to happen -- when the Pi boots, the wpa_supplicant.conf file gets consumed and then removed. Can you confirm 1) That you're using a Raspberry Pi Zero *W* (not normal Zero), and 2) That you're trying to connect to a 2.4GHz network (not a 5G one)? If so, can you paste the contents of your wpa_supplicant.conf file here (with network name and password removed)?
@@Howchoo Thanks for your answer! I figured it out now and it works. A guy from the community totally helped me out a lot! Thanks everyone!
I'm having the same issue. I'm pretty sure i've got the credientials correct for my wifi, but it won't connect. Also, I connected a bluetooth keyboard to the pi0, and manually selected my wifi and connected. But it the connection to my wifi failed for some reason.
Do you have to setup wifi for it?
Hi, great vid! I got as far as to type in the password when connecting to wifi. But when i was going to type the password, cmd, powershell and terminal (tried all 3) i couldn't type the password, i could press enter and it said wrong password. I can type until it's time for the password then it stops all of a sudden. So anyway, i thought something went corrupt so i decided to format and reinstall but now nothing happens, screen lights up, but its all black. Any ideas?
Ah yes, so when you’re typing the password you won’t see any output. I.e. no “dots” or anything will come up. So you need to make sure you enter it correctly. If you think you mistyped something before pressing enter, just hit backspace like 20 times to make sure it’s cleared out completely. Let me know how that works out.
Do I need to have the pi zero with wifi ?
Hi ! Would a CM3 be too wide to fit in the unit using for instance another cartridge ?
Theoretically it should fit - the CM3 is 67.6mm long and the Zero is 65mm long
@@Howchoo Ok thanks for replying. I guess I'll wait for a news version with : CM3 + Battery + Full size USB port. Still a very cool unit as it is and still tempting for sure :) Thanks for the video.
@@mutmut02_ No problem!
Can I use this tutorial with a Mac
Is there a way to install the safe shutdown script via usb? I'm using the regualar pi zero without wifi
I’m sure it’s possible but I haven’t done it - might be worth grabbing a USB WiFi dongle at least ;) or a Zero W, which is only $10+shipping
Hi, I've followed the instructions and everything works well, I just have an issue with the button set up, For some reason my select and start buttons don't work. So I get stuck on the Retropie menu and can't get off it. When selecting button when loading up it states none selected but does the D pad and the A B buttons.. Really stuck so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey James, that’s super weird-sounds like a hardware issue. Are you able to use the other buttons to navigate the menu?
@@Howchoo Hi thank you for your reply. Thought it was a hardware issue, but I've got a replacement with an installed card, worked fine. But I wanted to try it again and have just done a new SD card same problem. So I feel it's user error but am baffled really. I'm adding the patch manually via a mac and then getting the network connection fine. I can add a rom and get on it but can't play it or move out from it.
Hi there finally i make it happens, i only have one issue my home screen only shows: AMIGA and RETROPIE how i make the other emulator show up? i show in the root directory amiga works under amiberry.sh and i guess every single one will use his own different way to make them work as when i put rooms into nes for example is not showing anything, any clue about it? Thanks for the video and help
Did you unzip your NES files before uploading them? They should have a .nes extension. Let me know
Can anybody help me fix my screen the text looks all pixelated and so does the screen it's like blurred out and not as sharp and clean as it shows in the video or as it should? Its also affecting my emulators. And yes I already tried reinstalling the image and trying the resolution settings in the raspi config but nothing has made it better.
Have you tried disassembling and reseating the Pi and ribbon cable? It’s possible the pogo pins or cable aren’t making a good connection.
Every time I create and add the supplicant and ssh files they are gone when I plug the sd card back into my Mac. I add these files to the file system, switch on the GPi case after reinserting the SD card and then try to connect through terminal but it states that the "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" so I assume this is because it can't connect because the files are gone. Has anyone had this problem?
The file SHOULD disappear as part of the process - the OS is consuming it to set the password and removing it is normal. You must have some other issue - have you tried all the steps here? howchoo.com/g/ndy1zte2yjn/how-to-set-up-wifi-on-your-raspberry-pi-without-ethernet#troubleshooting
How would I reconfigure the controls setup upon initial boot? I mixed up "up" and "down" on the pad by mistake out of excitement. Great tutorial though !
From the RetroPie (EmulationStation) UI, press START and then select "CONFIGURE INPUT" :)
@@Howchoo I have one last question, have you had any issues using the GBA emulator on your GPi? Whenever I select the file I want to play, it loads but then just returns to the screen containing the files (same goes for any GBA ROM).
I'm thinking I may need to downlaod a different emulator since any other emulator I've tried so far hasn't given me any issues.
@@isaigonzalez5633 That depends where you got the ROMs from. Certain ROMs require a separate GBA BIOS to be installed. Try installing that. Here's some more info: github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Game-Boy-Advance
@@Howchoo Sounds good, thanks a lot !
MY gpi case only powers on and functions if I use usb cable. if I use battries device doesn't power on or function, my battries are ikea ones just like your video
That’s super weird! Have you tried other batteries?
hey just followed ur tutorial but i would like to know how u can make game fullscreen pis snes roms :(
Do you mean the screen has “black borders”? If so, try connecting to it via SSH (ssh pi@retropie), edit /boot/config.txt (sudo nano /boot/config.txt), and uncomment the following line by removing the “#”: “disable_overscan=1”
Let me know if that fixes it.
nice video, but there is a problem how can i install the safe shutdown script without wifi? i have a pi zero (not the wifi version) i tried to google and aparently im not the only one with this problem.
Unfortunately there's no easy way.
I just got the Retroflag GPI yesterday and lagging quite a bit on every system I use. I downloaded the Recal image and I even have fresh batteries in it. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Please help!
Sounds like you're using Recalbox-have you tried using RetroPie instead?
I gave that a try as well and got the same results. I’ve also tried the Lakka image and that wasn’t much different . Everyone else I see on RUclips seems to be running smooth.
Hmm, sounds like a hardware issue then. Which brand SD card are you using? It might not have a fast enough read/write speed.
Can you use the raspberry 4 to copy scripts in place of a windows or Mac computer...
I don’t see why not!
@@Howchoo can you make a video of you doing it as I'm a bit stuck...thanks
I'm getting a kernel error. Retropi locks up everytime on start up. Not sure what I'm doing wrong? Going to test my raspberry pi zero outside of the case to see if I get the same problem.
Did you try reinstalling from scratch? Something wonky may have happened :)
@@Howchoo tested my raspberry pi zero.. it's bad.
Ah that’s probably the best outcome it could’ve been. Glad the GPi is ok; the Pi Zero is cheap
Hey there, I have managed to install Retropie 4.4 for the Pi Zero and have ran the Patch and have installed the safe shutdown script. However, whenever the Pi reboots, the system always hangs at the Check disk screen. Once it reaches 100%...it doesn’t continue to load. I have waited 10 minutes and still nothing. I have reinstalled everything again with the same result. Any suggestions?
I had the same issue. I ended up downloading Retropie 4.3 instead, and everything started working.
That's definitely . weird. Do you have another Pi you can try? Or a different SD card? Does this still happen if you don't have the safe shutdown script installed?
@@Howchoo So I have reinstalled Retropie 4.4 again and installed the patch and safe shutdown script. I read on Reddit to disable fsck as a temp solution.
You need Notepad++ to do this:
Put the SD Card in your PC
Then Open "cmdline.txt"
then change, "fsck.repair=yes" to "fsck.repair=no"
This seems to have solved that problem..for now.
im a kid so i have no idea on how i will be able to pull this off
I know this is real late but same I tried updating my gb and it just broke for some reason so I’m here to reinstall everything because it was my dads.
I'm getting a black flickering screen on my initial boot? Any clue what I'm missing? Been at it for a few hours now, and I'm totally stumped! Thanks!
Strange, are you able to get a normal picture at all, or does nothing show up? In either case, try reseating the Pi and make sure you installed the patch files.
@@Howchoo Thanks for the reply. I was able to get it sorted out. The interface ribbon to the from the Pi wasn't properly attached. Once I tightened it down, it booted right up. Wifi supplicant file is giving me quite the headache, but I guess I need to add the country code. That part wasn't in your tutorial, but It could just be me.
Great vid and instructions. I subscribed!
@@Howchoo So I can't figure out the WiFi part of your tutorial. I added the suplicant file per your instructions, but I'm not able to SSH into the device, so I went into the Pi Config on the device and noticed that WiFi isn't recognized at all. Any suggestions? I'm running Windows. Thanks!
Did you get this sorted? Not sure because of the order of your comments. Lemme know!
howchoo no. I cannot get the WiFi figured out.
Great video, you do a good job of explaining these things. It is a popular device and we are getting some people having issues/needing help with it in our discord, I posted your video on our r/SBCGaming reddit and have been referring some people to your video - thanks for making it. For those looking for some sources of legal and free roms, here is a guide: sbcgaming.wikidot.com/wiki:game-sources
Thanks a bunch! Glad you guys found it helpful. I’ll be releasing some more on the GPi in a few weeks. I’m starting to build a list of the issues people have had so a troubleshooting video and guide would be useful.
I can’t seem to get mine to boot? The light comes on but turns off after 2 seconds. Nothing comes on the screen. I’ve reinstalled a couple times and taken it apart and reassembled. Not exactly sure what I’m missing. Any ideas?
Did you install the patch properly? Can you SSH into the Pi even after the light goes off? Trying to determine whether it’s actually booted and the display just isn’t being output.
Thanks for the help! I’m embarrassed to say what the real problem was.....but i got it up and running perfectly fine.
Glad you got it working :)
I've tried for hours tonight to try to get the wpa_supplicant.conf to work it never connects or shows an ip. I've probably restarted the gpi over 25 times it takes ages just to find out nothing happened. I'm finding all the youtubers guides with slightly different wpa_supplicant.conf settings which ive attempted many with no success on notepad++ and plain text document on windows.
I have 2 different access points in my house one cox and the other century link they are both wpa-wpa2 I've tried them both set for 2.4ghz with no success combined with also editing and retrying with the updated config. Please help :{
So I've seen a few people with this problem and in a few cases the issue was with the Raspberry Pi itself. This may seem like a stupid question, but are you sure you're using a Raspberry Pi Zero *W*, and not a normal Raspberry Pi Zero? Only the W has WiFi/Bluetooth. Assuming you are, here are three different things to try:
1. Remove the Zero from the GPi to make sure everything (including the pogo pins) is seated correctly
2. Reinstall RetroPie from scratch. This is super common -- the image got corrupted somehow, so the issue isn't that WiFi isn't connecting so much as it is that the Pi isn't booting at all. If it doesn't boot correctly, it may not consume your wpa_supplicant file.
3. Remove the Zero from the GPi, connect a monitor and keyboard, and then manually connect to WiFi by running `sudo raspi-config` on the command line. Only thing to note -- since the patch scripts tell the Pi to output video over GPIO, you'll need to revert those changes so that it will output via HDMI again. You'll also need a micro USB adapter and mini HDMI adapter/cable to connect it to a monitor.
I'm guessing it's #2, but try all 3 in order and let me know if that works.
@@Howchoo Thank you got it working the wpa config had needed spacing in several areas. I fixed that and im up and running now a new issue. The git hub link and putty. It begins installing the shut down script but anytime the archive .raspberrypi.org gets cued it hangs and hangs and takes forever to go on to the next step its been 10 minutes and its still at 0% any advice? Ive tried reconnecting putty and running again same slow results evey time and evntually it hangs and doesnt move on anymore.
@@TB-nf6bs Good to hear. This sounds like either a network issue or the package manager is down. Can you try again? If it doesn't work, try running `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade --yes` to update everything (make an SD card backup before you do this).
The SSH file is it a text?? or what kind of file
It’s a plaintext file, but you need to save it with no file extension.
Can a Pi Zero W use WPA2-PSK? Or can it only use WPA-PSK?
I’m almost certain it can, give it a shot
@@Howchoo will do
my pi wont connect to my network no matter what i try to do already tried multiple wifi´s but it wont connect to any of them
Found it out mixed up ssid and ip adress o feel stupid now
Glad you got it sorted
I don't see the link on how to install GBZ35
Whoops! Here you go: howchoo.com/g/mju0otjhy2m/retropie-themes#gbz35
can you use raspberry pi 3 b+
No, the GPi only supports the Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W.
I keep getting a buzzing sound for audio in every menu and game. No game audio thiugh. Just distorted buzzing
Just updated my software to 4.6.9 and now the pi runs extremely laggy when playing games and navigating menus. Any thoughts on how I can fix this?
Running Raspian GNU/Linux 9.13 (stretch). Runs on 3 AA batteries, batteries are brand new. After update, the controls operate extremely laggy, and games play in almost slow motion. It also seems like the pi it self becomes hot quickly after start up. No other modifications have been made except for updating the software and the underlying packages.
PSA: On retroflags website under the support > gpi download area, there is a question and answer relating to speeding up load times via changing the localisation settings. DO NOT DO THIS!
I found out the hard way this most likely is the cause for "unhandled alignment exception ... Bus error" which causes emulation station to crash to prompt. Will happen fairly often and mostly seen during emulation station idling on the menu selection area.
I fixed the problem via setting my localisation to AMERICA and then picking a city.
Google this for more details:
Bus error on Raspberry Pi 2 armv7 command line app #22384
Might actually be the rpi zero overheating...still investigating.
I can't connect to my network
Ladda Batteries £13,94 for a 4 pack on amazon, Energisers 2400mah £9.40 I know which batteries I am going for
Yep the batteries cost a different amount based on where you live too!
Ladda is recharge in swedish
no matter how many times I try, I still can't get the wifi to work. gaaaah
I followed every step but impossible to get wifi...
Are you using a 2.4GHz network? If everything boots properly (and assuming you're using the Zero W, of course), try accessing the WiFi configuration option from the RetroPie Setup menu. This will launch an alternative interface you can use to see if your network is visible.
@@Howchoo Yes I have classic 2.4Ghz wifi. From Retropie menu I can access to wifi setup but because no keyboard it's impossible to enter password. I tried to import ssid and password using .txt method but it's failed also...
Really hard device to configure for early adopters like us.
Ah yes. Do you have a Bluetooth keyboard? Obviously you shouldn’t need to do that but it might be an option.. just to be clear, you’re naming the file wpa_supplicant.conf, not wpa_supplicant.conf.txt, right? Did you use Notepad to create it or a rich text editor? It’s important to use an editor without formatting.
@@Howchoo Yes, I created the wpa file using notepad on windows 10 and save it as .conf.
Hi are you solved the problem with the wifi ? I have the same problem
I'll tell you what you need to know...retroflag f'd up this launch.
What about the people without wifi???!
Yeah, unfortunately you need it to get things set up properly. I’d spend the extra $5 and get the Zero W that has onboard WiFi.
@@Howchoo No offense to you. I like your video and your content, but like many people I already own the Pi Zero not Pi Zero W. If you want to title your video "Everything You Need to Know to Get Playing!" maybe atleast mention that this only applies to people who own or plan to own the "Pi Zero W" I get the convenience it provides having bluetooth and wifi , but honestly the battery life is already an issue (2 to 3 hours at best without) Otherwise like I said a great video great content keep it up man
@@LAUGHINGMANWILL Thanks for the feedback, that's a great point. To be honest, I made this video _before_ the GPi was even available for sale-I received a prerelease unit. So I didn't realize the full WiFi limitation until people started using the "normal", non-W Zero. :)
Like your tutorial but as I followed... I had to take extra steps that weren't in the video...
That happens unfortunately-it’s hard to make a how-to video that covers every case (and sometimes new steps appear after the video is released but the “thing” continues to be developed).
What in particular did you have to do? Might help others who find this comment!
