## Introduction

This project is a quick start configuration script for the Game Boy Zero Retropie build.

It includes several features:

*  WiFi credential setup

*  Adafruit Retrogame software installation (hardware buttons)

*  Custom **config.txt** ready for **BW** 3.5" screen

*  Automatic screen rotation when connected through HDMI (the composite screen is mounted upside down)

*  Python script for **Graceful shutdown** circuitry handling

*  Python script for **Battery Level** meter (https://github.com/vascofazza/gbzattinymonitor)

*  Disable the initial boot logo (goes directly to the splashscreen without prompts)

*  Invert the status led behaviour for power saving (the led is powered on sd activity)

*  Downloads a fixed version of pifba for joypad compability

*  Added RTC (Real Time Clock) configuration for DS3231  (**NEW!**)

*  Added **install_extra.sh** configuration script for super performances!  (**BETA**)

Features included in **install_extra.sh**:

* Map *log* and *tmp* folders to ramdisk

* Swap ram to disk only if strictly needed

* Replaces the *samba server* with *ProFTP server* (more resource-friendly)

* Replaces *OpenSSH* with *DropBear* SSH server (more resource-friendly)

* Removes *avahi-daemon*, you cannot use retropie.local in local network, **retropie.lan still works** :)

## Hardware

This simple schematic illustrates the **Graceful shutdown** mechanism.
