So I used the files from this link [https://learn.adafruit.com/makecode-arcade-with-raspberry-pi-zero/firmware#firmware-3-1](https://learn.adafruit.com/makecode-arcade-with-raspberry-pi-zero/firmware#firmware-3-1) and downloaded them to my raspberry pi 0. There are pre made games on the files, but I am trying to upload my own games to the raspberry pi 0, however my games are not showing up on the game menu. Any suggestions?

@arianabarsotti when you download your games, are you selecting “pi0” from the list of hardware options? Also, can you describe the process you’re using to upload the games? Is the device showing up as a USB drive on your computer correctly?

Try using a different USB cable, some are power-only and will not work.

If that doesn’t seem to work, also try connecting the USB cable to a different port on your computer.
