      Hi.
      I'm pretty new to both linux and RPi and just built a GBZero insida a Nintendo DS.
      Was using a USB sound card but that made the audio sound terrible, so I was thinking about using a bluetooth dongle to connect to a hedset or portable speakers.
      Have tried for a few days to get it to work, but no luck.
      It detects bluetooth devices but I can't connect to it.
      I can't find any guide to get it to work, have tried a few different.

      My setup is a Raspberry Pi Zero (1,3 i think) the older version without Wifi and Bluetooth.
      Retropie version 4.2

      Would be very greatful if anyone could help me.

        @oloff3 won't work with RetroPie on RPI afaik as it would require pulse audio (which we don't build against for retroarch etc).

          Okey.
          Didn't know that.
          Thanks for clearifying.

            I might look at supporting BT audio in the future by building pulse support in (if it doesn't interfere / or make it optional).
