Thank you.

First of all, thank you for purchasing this Custom Built Gameboy Zero. A lot of time and effort went into creating this device for you, so please enjoy!

Operating System

The device comes with RetroPie 4.3 installed with some modifications that allows the controller, audio, and other optimizations to function. If you need to re-install or upgrade your SD card in the future, please go to https://github.com/sixteenbit/gameboy-zero to download the latest pre-configured RetroPie image.

Setting up Wi-Fi

Before inserting the SD including with your device, you’ll need to setup WiFi, so that you can transfer games. There are a few ways to accomplish this but the easiest is to plug the SD card into your PC/Mac. Create a file called wifikeyfile.txt in the root of the SD card. Add the following to the file and update it with your credentials.

ssid="NETWORK_NAME"
psk="NETWORK_PASSWORD"

Place the SD card into the device (Contrast port) but be careful not to miss the slot and drop the card into the Gameboy Zero. The top of the SD card should be facing you if you're looking at the screen of the Gameboy Zero.

Next, power on the Gameboy Zero. Once it’s at the menu, press A to select the RetroPie logo. Scroll down and select WiFi, then select "Import wifi credentials from /boot/wifikeyfile.txt". Reboot, and you should now be connected to your network.
