Pi 3 Bluetooth Progress ?

[styletwo-wan]

Is it true that Pi 3's bluetooth is still not working on Beta3 ?

[diwou]

Yes, unfortunately. Bluetooth still doesn't work.

[styletwo-wan]

Is is possible to use a bluetooth dongle on Pi 3 to connect my SNES30 ?

[acris]

Yes, you can.

I do it this way. I notices, that my Wifi connectivity to the network and internet instantly goes down, once the BT dongle is in place. The Wifi component often cant connect to the router, reports a IPV6 ip address and other issues in Recalbox. If connection is established to the router, the transferrates are nearly 0 KB/s. If you plug out the BT dungle, everything is back to normal. Anyone else notices this behaviour? Was not the case on Rpi2 with Wifi + BT dongles in place. Only on Rpi3 with integrated Wifi and external BT dongle. Thx; Dan

To the devs: Have you seen the latest Lakka Release? It has support for the RPi 3 bluetooth, don't know about its speed though, but maybe it's worth to take a look. These are the related commits: https://github.com/libretro/Lakka/commit/25646a66629899b21307c3e6e8a357c5ee7f9200 https://github.com/libretro/Lakka/commit/9fef9cabd3c5b9c934d7d9884c881f34a74d73cf https://github.com/libretro/Lakka/commit/79f5d3ffad08fae9499236081988edf01729edd2 https://github.com/libretro/Lakka/commit/d38f237c46f1f2e907b9294b1b29e96229f53baa https://github.com/libretro/Lakka/commit/c7e93af096f818fb7e797117d8e920a6bad93883

Tanks @Sergio Vera, Bluetooth is already add on recalbox today for your information but we need to fixe ps3 support... they have problems with the drivers we use today for give compatility of fake/true ps3 controller... "We" work on a alternative driver for kipe the full compatibility... Lakka doesn't have the same gestion of gamepad :s. But tank's a lot for your input ! :).   Next time, if you have help for technical feature in recalbox, you can add it in comment on the dedicated issue on github :). More visible by the integrators of recalbox ;). https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/issues/796

Really hope that the 8bitdo's controllers will be compatible in the coming release, especially the Arcade Joystick.

8bitdo's controllers are actually compatibles, but with an external dongle.

Obviously, I am talking about the built-in bluetooth of Pi3.
