A flaw I noticed with the official 32GB SD card image for the WiPi Netbooter was that the SD card it was imaged from had a nominal capacity of 31.9GB. A lot of SD cards on the market that are sold at 32GB tend to have a slightly smaller capacity ranging from 31.5-31.8GB. The OS partition that runs the DietPi install gets cut off as a result when being written to a SD card, resulting in it not booting up. I have fixed this by doing some work to shrink both partitions, leaving some empty space at the end of the disk image (this also results in image file being smaller so it's less to download!). Other than that, this is just as fully capable as the normal image with all the games and support for all NetDIMM platforms*. Some other minor quality of life improvements that I've done to this image:
- Enabled the Time Hack setting by default
- Preconfigured a Sega NAOMI 1 NetDIMM to be present at IP address 10.0.0.3 (this is per the recommendation of the manual)
Notes:
* I have only tested this modification to the image with a Naomi 1. If others who have Triforce/Chihiro/NAOMI 2 could test and report back if this works I'd appreciate it! I don't believe there is any issues with it not working as nothing should have changed, but I don't have a way to confirm this myself as I don't have a Triforce/Chihiro/NAOMI 2.

2. You should have a .img file. Write this to your 32GB MicroSD card using a raw disk writing utility.
3. Once complete, safely eject the MicroSD card from your computer, and insert it into your Raspberry Pi that you are using for your WiPi Netbooter setup.
4. Power up the Pi and wait approximately 60 seconds. Check for the WiPi-Netbooter SSID to appear and connect to it using the password "segarocks".
5. Open your web browser and go to http://192.68.42.1/
6. If a game list appears you're all set! Note that you may need to reconfigure your NetDIMM's configuration through the test menu. Make sure to select "SET" on both the IP Address and Netmask settings after configuring. For it to "just work" I would set the IP to 10.0.0.3 and the Netmask to 255.255.255.0.
