      hey everybody,

      as you can see in the headline, i´m an absolute retropie/raspberry pi newbie. but that didn´t stop me from building a gameboy null
      which is a pretty decent project from a guy called ampersand (as you can see here https://www.tindie.com/products/Ampersand/game-boy-null-kit/?pt=ac_prod_search). this kit has only one problem, which is the missing audio … and i think we all agree with the fact that the audio is a major part of an good
      retro-game ;) . no problem i thought, the pi has bluetooth i thought, i just connect my bluetooth speaker/headphone and there we are! but sadly it isnt that easy, after trying to connect my speaker (which didn´t work) i started googling and all i found where some 2 years old threads with the conclusion that ist not possible anymore…

      so my question is: is this the actual status that ist not possible to connect bluetooth speaker or headphones, and if it is possible what do i have to do?

      thanks for any answers
      gs christoph

            @boetus It's just saying that the method is not working anymore, not that Bluetooth audio doesn't work anymore. BT Audio should work, there is a lot of information/tutorials on how to connect BT Audio to a Raspberry PI. Just remember that RetroPie is based on Raspbian, so any info that mentions Raspbian applies to RetroPie as-well.
