Circuit Sword Bluetooth

[kite]

So that last screenshot doesn't mean anything, all CS's say that on the blank screens (it's an ES thing). There is probably more required and work needed i'm afraid! What might be best is to re-image to how it was before working with a gamepad, and then finding some guides online about how to get it to work on the pi3 or the pi zero w.. the steps should be the same (in theory) for the CS.. i've never tried nor do i have any BT headphones so it's a little hard to do hopefully someone that does know can take a look! The chap that did the script originally https://github.com/timemaster5 might have some more information. Next time I talk to him i'll mention it

Another solution maybe is like a 3.5mm headphone jack to BT dongle? You could just plug it in to tv or CS headphone jack? Something like this (first result on google) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Tran ... B01KZR6S6W

Good idea I gotta get some sleep, I work midnights in the US and I'll have to pick this back up later! I appreciate all the help! I would love to be able to play this with Bluetooth headset on the Gameboy and then be able to plug it into the wall and TV through hdmi and use a Bluetooth controller and play it through the TV as a console! We may get there at some point! Haha

Okay so I picked back up on this and I am able to connect the headset now but when I launch a game after connection, the game will freeze or the game will freeze if I turn the registered headset on after I start the game. I have a couple of times been able to turn the Gameboy off and back on and got it to work but didn't know if there is something that could be done?

This script is in "Circuit-Sword/settings/bluetooth-audio.sh" which probably needs to be run under sudo, but it apparently does the setup needed

https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sw ... h-audio.sh

I haven't tried it Nor did I write it

So if I am going to try this route I press F4 and then enter: sudo nano /Circuit-Sword/settings/bluetooth-audio.sh

Is that correct and once it takes me there I input all that in per the lines?

One problem I'm having and I'm sure it's me and for another topic but I still have no audio for my video splash screens as well, audio works fine in the ES and in game play. But when searching for the omxplayer to change "both" to "alsa" using the sudo nano and so far all the different ways I've seen, I can never find any text when using sudo nano just a blank screen with of course the options at the bottom for like exit, write, jump to line and so on but no code.

You probably need to do the following:

cd Circuit-Sword/settings
chmod +x bluetooth-audio.sh
sudo ./bluetooth-audio.sh

So I got the CS Lite put together to try the BT out on it and I get this message

I was curious if I needed to add this again:

cd Circuit-Sword/settings
chmod +x bluetooth-audio.sh
sudo ./bluetooth-audio.sh

Also is it still supposed to be F4 to go to the command line on the CS lite?

Okay after some research I realized the ext usb was not enabled and that's why the BT keyboard F4 didn't work. Once I turned in on it did work but I imagine the CD Circuit-Sword input that I did on the CS CM3 will be different on the lite. But right now I have both a CS CM3 and a CS Lite and if I could get BT audio to play that would be awesome!

On the CS I was able to get it to connect and work a couple of times but the way I had to do it was crazy with: connecting the BT headset, start game (it would freeze), turn off, turn on, connect again and then it would work... Sometimes lol

On the CS Lite nothing at all, it says protocol not available.

In the mean time I can go get a 3.5mm jack to BT receiver and try that, but would be awesome if I didn't have to use that!

The CS lite won't require any of the changes we had to do for the CS, this is because the Lite uses the Pi Zero W which has its own BT module, nothing to do with the one I had to add for the CS, so any instructions/help that work on the Pi3 or Zero W are what you need to find.. in theory that should mean it is easier to find information! For example, this person seems to have success: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/203 ... -3-model-b

Alright thanks I got me a BT Transmitter for the CS and that works so fo now I can just use that but will keep trying to get it to work because that would be awesome you have without the BT adapter. As far as the lite I will check into the pi zero setups, I appreciate your help on all this now if I can figure out why the games and sound are slow while hooked up to hdmi. I have another topic opened for that one! Haha

Also I sent ya an email Kite about soldering the BLBOOST on the latest build.

Okay so I have got some BT transmitters for the BT audio but now that I have the newest CS put together and try to connect my 8bitdo controller my screen freezes on searching and doesn't go any further. Any suggestions on fixing this?

*note I am running the latest CS image because I have the new 640x480 screen and the one that had the BT working didn't have the option to turn on the new 640x480 screen only the old.

As always help is greatly appreciated here!

[Crainium17]

Got it worked out and working like a charm now! I had to copy:
# Enable NEW 640x480 custom display mode (LCD without adapter required)
framebuffer_width=640
framebuffer_height=480
display_rotate=2
dpi_output_format=516117
hdmi_timings=640 1 32 48 88 480 1 13 3 32 0 0 0 60 0 32000000 1

To the old software version config.txt from 10-13-2019 since bluetooth is working good on this version.

After that I am able to use the new 640x480 screen and play the Gameboy as a handheld and then plug it into the TV and wall charger, reboot to hdmi, connect my Bluetooth controller, and use it as a console!

Nice one, when it has been tested some more i'll spend some time with it too, and eventually that bluetooth special build will become the 'normal' image, when it does happen i'll message here. For the time being, there are no major differences between the two, other than the new 640x480 init code in the config.txt that you have found
