I you want to add your PI easily to your WLAN just copy a file with name
wpa_supplicant.conf looking like this…
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=DE
network={
ssid="your router SSID“
psk="your password“
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
.. .into the main (boot) directory of the sd card directly after having successfully flashed the image.
If your are happy with the old image and you don't need any of the other languages than English or German you are fine and don't need to redownload the images (BUT you will the Coll new voices of Henri and Luigi - I like these !!!)

Thanks Randy - if one can find just one useful feature it is worth downloading the image I think.
I myself was astounded how many things for Picochess came to my mind and except for the lichess engine client I could realize all things with my programming skills…
It all started more than two years ago when I wanted to be able to do my move as quickly as I want after the picos move has been announced. Now we can even execute the moves even in wrong sequence (first own answer move then picos move as it is shown in my last video regarding the timecontrol modification), then came the flexible analysis mode (like the tasc r30 had) and now we even have online gaming and 2 picochess players can play against each other with their own boards!

I have updated the DGTPi v3 images (both Lite and Desktop) with the new henri voice file (on.ogg). I don't like the idea of removing root ownership of /opt files and folders. However, if you want to edit files via vnc, just open a terminal and issue the command sudo mc. This will run Midnight Commander (a file manager that runs in the terminal) and allow you to navigate with the mouse and edit files (I prefer SSH myself). If anyone can come up with a working solution to launching GUI applications through the VNC pi user connection (e.g. pcmanfm) with root access, that would be great.Randy
For those looking for a desktop enabled version, I seem to have had better luck getting Picochess v3 installed into Marcel's beta base image. You can read about all of his features here. SSH is enabled and if you want to connect to your wifi, place your wpa_supplicant.conf file into the boot partition and insert the card into the DGTPi (or modded DGT3000/RPi). It will get copied over to the proper place on initial boot. Once running you can modify the localization settings, etc.
Unfortunately the original links have changed now - so if you want to refer to the images it might be better to use the forum image folder link instead of direct file linking (sorry, but things happen;-)https://www.dropbox.com/s/jbhkw74dlair3d2/PicoChess%20Personal%20Version%203.0.mp4?dl=0

1st Update
- Restored corrupted voices for en, it, fr and nl
- Added new V3 voice samples for it (thanks to Lugi)
- Added new V3 voice samples for and new voice for nl (thanks to Henri)
- Replaced updated uci and ini files (thanks to Henri) in the engine (sub)folder(s)
- Installed Firefox ESR for webserver usage directly on the PI (sudo apt-get install firefox-esr)
- Remark: For me using the desktop OS with a webbrowser is way too slow - at least on a standard DGTPI (don’t know if it is the browser or something else…)
- Updated dgt/translate.py for the new V3 messages in Italian (thanks to Luigi)

Hmmm ...

Randy, I wouldn't bother too much for the PI4 issues especially when you don't have one and also having no bluetooth board (right?).
Maybe it is all just a question of time until all issues will be fixed with a next OS update....
Thanks
Dirk

Ok. Yes, the config.txt would have to be altered for the RPi4 as you state. It's set for the DGTPi right now.
As for the services, I guess we don't use the dgtstandby.service anyway, but the dgtpi.service will try to print DGT P| on the non-connected clock so probably better to disable it. It might make the RPi4 boot a microsecond faster, too. :^) I would disable them both since they aren't needed, but it's up to you.I'm thinking I could make the Desktop image on the RPi4 from scratch to get everything working, then test on the DGTPi. I'm sure we can solve these issues. Otherwise, yes, we might need to wait for some OS updates.Randy
