  @IceChes1 Well even if it is not as versatile as RetroPie it still deserves a place as an alternative to RetroPie just like RecalBox. @Tim-s-up can also just manually install from the latest branch of RetroPie to a Pi 4B if he wants. I guess it comes down to wheater he wants a stable official release from Lakka, or try using the latest branch of RetroPie which is still experimental if he decides to buy a Pi 4B. Otherwise he will be buying a Pi 3B+ @Tim-s-up The extra horsepower that a Pi 4B provides will still improve performance of arcade games and emulation overall. You should get a mucher smoother gameplay and it will be more future proof in hardware. I can only tell you this, that i have tested both SNES and PSX emulation on my Pi4 4GB in Lakka and it runs really well as long as I choose the correct emulator. To begin with I had some sound issues with SNES emulation, but then i changed to the Snes9x emulator and now it works just as good as my Pi 3B with RetroPie, if not even better. I have also tested an original Super Famicom controller(SHVC-005) with a usb adapter and it works on the Pi 4B in Lakka like it does on my Pi 3B RetroPie setup. This controller is identical in hardware with the original SNES PAL controller. This gives SNES gameplay a much more authentic experience, just like when you will be using arcade joysticks and buttons for arcade games.

  If I were going to create an arcade machine (which I am), I would (do) want the following fighting games: All of the Capcom fighting games like Street Fighter Alpha 1-3, SF2, SF3, the Marvel vs. Capcom games, Darkstalkers 1-3, etc. Mortal Kombat 1-3 The NeoGeo fighters like Fatal Fury, Samurai Showdown, King of Fighters, etc. Tekken 1-3 (later ones would be nice, but probably not feasible on a Pi) Killer Instinct 1 and 2 (completely impossible on a Pi) That's a great, solid base that gives a ton of variety. However, I'd also add: Time Killers (terrible game, but lots of fun) Eternal Champions (nobody's favorite, but I love it) Guilty Gear (all of them that are possible) All the great SEGA 3D fighters (Virtua Fighter, Last Bronx, Fighting Vipers, Fighters Megamix, etc.) Primal Rage Clayfighter 1 and 2 SoulBlade/Soul Caliber Mace: The Dark Age

  @IanDaemon Hey I just tried this....and it didn’t actually do anything. I clicked on edit meta data. Set some stuff to “hidden” Turned on kiosk mode and they are still there? As far as I can tell too there’s no difference between kiosk and kid mode either. I’m currently using the comic theme, maybe it’s something with the theme not supporting the feature? The sub folder suggestion is working fantastic though.

  This is great! Will there be a way to turn off the frames per second count in the top left corner?

  OK . I guess nevermind. After hours of changing settings and rebooting and searching for answers, I changed a few more things again and rebooted again and now it works. Im not sure what I did to fix it but so far so good, Ill report back if it resorts to its old self.

  I also realised I hadn't made an spf record for our domain and some email notifications to Gmail had failed on occasions (due to number of subscribers on Gmail). Should be sorted now. (Triggered when sending similar emails to many Gmail accounts at once and Gmail thinking it was spam). If we still get issues, I can look into other authentication methods they recommend.
