This I asked originally here, but in the wrong topic:

 

 

Question:

 

Now do these cheap but very popular BT Android/ iOS remotes-gamepads work on boards under Armbian, or Debian/Linux in general ?

There is a group on Facebook for people who use Oranges for retro gaming, rather ask there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1131759626884432/ .. or buy it and try.

I stay away from social media. And yes I tried on Ubuntu Linux on my laptop but it didn't work- could have been a driver issue since the device wasn't recognized in the first place, but worked well on my Android phone.

 

So that is why I ask- someone might have had better luck. So far my Orange Pi experience hasn't been great, but I am willing to keep trying a bit more.

More or less the same. I have a nice little project with retrorangepie and an old monitor for a bar, but I prefer die with my ideas instead of joining Facebook. Just the fact to write the word let me the impression my fingers are dirty.

 

I have a BT gamepad working with Retropie and I want test it with retrorangepie on OPzero and it's beautiful composite output, perfect for an RF converter perfect for the antenna plug of the old monitor.
