Navigating RetroPie

Thu May 25, 2023 7:49 pm

G'Day,

I purchased an SD card from RocketCade with retropie and a bunch of games. The problem is that once it boots I see no way to connect my bluetooth speaker. Is there a way to minimize RPi so that I can connect BT devices?

I have the speaker working with Raspian but can't get a sound from RPi

Thanks,
Ski

Thanks,

I can get the speaker to PAIR but not CONNECT under RetroPi. It works great when under Raspian.

Have you tried any of the fixes found by the Google search?

This one crops up a couple of times:

I've given up on getting the BT speaker to work. I have read that RetroPi does not support BT speakers, but that may be outdated information.

Has anyone gotten BT Speaker to work with RetroPi?

Thanks,
Ski
