Before I purchase, I was wondering what other user prefferences were. What are the benefits and cons of putting a bluetooth or wifi dongle into a GBZ?

Nice thing about a Bluetooth dongle is that you can plug the GBZ into your TV over HDMI and then play with an XBOX 360 or PS3 controllers over Bluetooth.

Wifi would be used for things like playing with RetroArch Netplay and also for Scraping all the cover art. Also, you would use it to transfer files like all the ROMs, etc.

Thanks! Sounds like it would be best to have the Bluetooth built in, and just have the wifi on hand to plug into the exterior usb port. You answered another one of my questions I had too, so I can use a PS3 controller and play, Playstation roms, because I wanted to get Brave Fencer Musashi back.

I've never tried this product, but a quick search brought up a bluetooth wifi combo dongle. $10 to boot also. Not sure if it is compatible, but one that is might solve this problem. Amazon

Most of the time, wifi and bluetooth are integrated into the same chipset, so it shouldn't be too hard (or expensive) to find one with both.

Just a note, PSX emulation on the RPI0 is pretty spotty. Mileage may vary depending on the setup and from game to game. Make sure to configure the emulator to 320x280 resolution. Theres also a bunch of other tweaks you can do. Google around. It might be OK then. Good luck and let us know!

That's awesome! But that's exactly what I was wondering was the compatibility with RPi.
