Pi Zero W as alternative to Pi Zero W 2 during low availability in c/raspberrypi@lemmy.ml

im interested in that too but ill probably end up going with the zero just cause raspberry pi seems a little more established. so many cool things to choose from!

The zero is a little cheaper, and I wanted to try making games that would run on it and eventually make a game console thing out of it. Part of the challenge is the lower spec i guess. If it's got more power than the n64 its good enough for me!

Yeah, thats sorta what I figured. It is marginally cheaper, and hopefully it won't be as affected by the current market? either way it'll probably be fun to play around with and similar enough to the zero 2W that i could experiment with it for a bit and switch over when the 2W comes back in stock. I certainly dont need the processing power, I basically just wanted to load some minimal linux OS, and try to play low spec games on it. thanks for the heads up

I've been wanting to get a Zero 2 but they're basically nonexistent. How likely do we think the Zero 1 to stay in supply? And are they worth getting or should I hold out for the Zero 2 to return? I kinda want to use it in a project but I don't want em to go dead before I can make a couple of units. thoughts?
