- SSH into the pi via Putty and type the following command in:
sudo apt-get install rfkillThis will install the Linux-Kernel subsystem that allows you to toggle the wireless connectivities of the W
- Next up you have to login via Winscp as root into the pi to get the permission to copy the files from Pi Zero W Scripts.zip over to your correct pi folders.
-
After you have root acces via Winscp just copy the files from Pi Zero W Scripts.zip to the correspoding folders of your pi (with one exception see note below). After you’re done, just reboot your pi to make these new changes.
IMPORTANT Do not overwrite your entire gamelist.xml file with the one provided, instead you will modify your existing gamelist.xml by adding these entries to
opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/gamelist.xmlbefore the </gameList> tag:

After rebooting go to the Retropie menu and you will find new menu entries.
If you are having trouble finding the new WiFi and Bluetooth toggle items in your menu, make sure you press start and go to “Other Settings” and make sure “Parse Gamelists Only” is set to OFF. (and restart emulation station, so it will parse and show them).
