Pi Zero W, wireless and bluetooth connection onboard!

I do leave the Wifi Disconnected and wrote a script to disable and Enable Wifi when needed.

Care to share your disable/enable script with us?

Also, does disabling the WiFi and Bluetooth reduce battery drain and the heat?

Disabling Wifi and Bluetooth definitely increases battery life. Not sure about heat. Possibly?

Disable/Enable Wifi
sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower off
sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 15 or sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower auto ?

Another way:
sudo apt-get install rfkill

# list status of bluetooth and wifi
sudo rfkill list

sudo rfkill block wifi
sudo rfkill block bluetooth

sudo rfkill unblock block wifi
sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth

Place files in: ~/Retropie/retropiemenu then restart Emulationstation for them to show up. Use all the comands to get them to show up in the gamelist.xml in the folder below.

Add to retropiemenu:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/gamelist.xml

rfkill settings survive poweroff and reboots

Awesome! Thanks!

I checked, the test pads did not moved so it should be compatible.
There should be no reasons it is not compatible

I ordered one to test confirm!

Did 'Admin' ever officially test the Pi Zero W?
