Mintypi not connecting to new WiFi networks
I recently got a new router and thus a new password. In retropie typically you can search for other networks. Before I made the mintypi I’d had the same pi zero as a permanent retropie and flashing the sd card I didn’t have to do any of the WPA supplicant flies so I didn’t figure I’d have to do it again so u didn’t do it for the mintypi image. I’d rather not have to take my mintypi apart so can someone help me?

Re: Mintypi not connecting to new WiFi networks
You can either buy a USB female to micro usb male adaptor (https://smile.amazon.com/Ksmile®-Female ... ltmtech-20) and plug a keyboard in to it or to take it apart and add it to the sd card manually.
The only way you can do it without opening it or paying for an adapter is to set the old router up temporarily (just plug it in, you don't need internet access) and transfer a new supplicant file with the new information in to the /boot/ folder and then restart the system and it should load the new configuration.

Re: Mintypi not connecting to new WiFi networks
Get a cheap $5 bluetooth keyboard, pair it with the mintyPi now you can enter in anything without having the usb port exposed (some people don't like the port being exposed).

Re: Mintypi not connecting to new WiFi networks
You use the Keyboard to enter in the password to the wifi network. Be sure to turn wifi on in the MintyPi menu first and then go to the network option in the Retropie menu the same procedure as it's always been.

Re: Mintypi not connecting to new WiFi networks
What if I’ve already deleted the WPA Supplicant file

Re: Mintypi not connecting to new WiFi networks
I believe you can also connect the wifi in a more GUI like way of the wifi part of the retropie menu. If not, you can create a new supplicant file and add it to the boot folder. There are instruction on how to do this in my signature.
