Hello everyone, I just received my RPI 0 W today, and i cant install recalbox on it .

I found out that i need "4.0.2" or "4.1 unstable" release but i cant find it anywhere . the archive.recalbox.com website seems to be dead or DNS poisoned as the IP of the website sends you to another website ... So they have DNS or server problem .

Anyone here can give me the installation ZIP file for proper installation on Rpi0 Wi-Fi ?

the new 4.1 (final) should be released today/tomorrow, so if you hold fire you'll have the up to date version (which also supports Pi Zero W properly)

i'm not sure about the servers....
they may have had issues with the other releases, so thats why they were removed....

you can download 4.0.1 (Final)
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os ... /tag/4.0.1

but its pointless if your wanting to install it on a Pi Zero W, it wont work (or wont work properly)


if you wait a day or two you can have better experience on the latest 4.1 (final) build, why bother yourself with incompatible versions

this might help you....

Ok i downloaded the las version as the servers are Up again . in fact they use what is called a "DNS parking" ( http://sedoparking.com/infopage/en/index.html ) . I unzipped the contents on my formated SD card and now it seems to install recalbox :) thanks for the help
