Question about loading games on the gameboy zero

Hi,

I have a GameBoy zero with a Raspberry Pi Zero W inside it. I would like to sell it, because I have another one build with Kites Circuit Sword.
The problem is: The raspberry pi zero w is sitting in the middle of the case and there is no access to the sdcard or usb from the outside,
so the buyer can't upload any games. The Wifi is usable, but you have to enter the ssid and passphrase in the gui.

- Is is possible to enter new wifi credentials without a keyboard/mouse?
- Are there other options for uploading games? Maybe a sdcard breakout?

greetings from germany

Is there an external USB? if so then the person can just connect a keyboard. If not, then check this out. The buyer will have to provide you will their wifi credentials. or they will have to open it up to access the SD card.

Another method if youre GBZ uses GPIO for controls, you can set up a new wifi network using the password "aabbxxyy". 😊👍

very creative, I like that :lol:

I will try to move the raspberry a littlle bit to the right, so that the sd card slot is accessable with tweezers. The buyer will get a free tweezer, and we are all happy :D
