Ease Of Configuration In 4.X Releases
-
Hey guys, I’ve dabbled with RetroPie for a number of years. Please note this is not a help request, I'm fully capable of troubleshooting and configuring on my own. This is purely an opinion post regarding recent releases.
I’m very thankful to the devs that spent time putting this together as it has been a fantastic system for enjoying classic games. I had a bit of difficulty in past versions (2.X and 3.X to be specific) with controller, input lag, and emulator performance related tuning on a Raspi 3.
How is the ease of configuring everything in 4.X? Is much of the config still governed by config files as opposed to a GUI/setup? I see 4.1 and 4.2 have been released and I’m hoping to give it a go this weekend. Should I expect similar results in terms of configuring my emulators, hotkeys, controller bindings, input lag, etc? Or has this been streamlined with recent updates?
Thanks in advance.

@colossalfalafel we're at 4.3 now.
Just have to try it and see. The most basic stuff has been simplified for RetroArch but standalone still require some configs. Really just depends on hardware/use case

@herb_fargus Gotcha, thanks for the info!

@colossalfalafel the retropie menu in emulationstation has made a lot of things way easier.

@colossalfalafel i think for basic use you shouldn't have to do anything config beyond the initial controller setup.
input lag was reduced in the default NES and SNES emulators about a year ago. hopefully that is new to you!
