      Hello,

      i have not searched other topics around here, maybe the issue is already known.

      I have a PI3 B with Wifi and BT. I installed Raspbian Pixel Desktop + Retropie on top.
      I am using a genuine Wiimote BT Controller.

      The problem is, that Wifi interrups the BT connection. I have massive Input delays and also lost inputs as long as wifi is on.
      Also the Wifi connection of my smartphone is interrupted, when it is close to the PI !!!! (WTF???)
      When Wifi is off, the Wimote works fine.

      -Is that a general problem of the PI3? Or is it defective? (I am new to the PI)
      -As a workaround: Is there a possibility, that Wifi is always disabled in Retropi/EmuStation?

      I know i can disable Wifi in the Retropi Config Tool, but after a reboot it is connected again... :(
      And i want to use Wifi when booting to Pixel.

      THANK YOU!

        @Bender2k no bt problems here. Do you have a heatsink on your processor? If so it could be causing issues. You could try turning the heatsink 90 degrees so the heatsink fins are facing another direction. The heatsink can act like an antenna and cause issues. Other than that not sure what to tell you to help you.
