The new Raspberry Pi 4 is here!!
-
I see that there is new firmware in test that helps lower the temps without performance suffering. It will be nice when that gets released.

try updating the firmware? i have see a couple of similar sounding issues in the firmware repo over the last weeks
Updated the firmware yesterday and it indeed seems to have solved that issue. However, setting video_max_swapchain_images=2 in order to reduce input lag makes the issue return. The performance also plummets (150 FPS -> 57 FPS in Yoshi's Island). This setting is performance intensive, but shouldn't cause such a severe degradation. Something's probably still not right with the GPU driver.

Here are some emulators being tested on the pi4
Saturn doesn't look good at the moment.
-
@Barcrest yabause-sanshiro libretro core clearly not running on the hardware properly. why even test on that when standalone exists? i do wish eta-prime would chill out on his quest for views and just wait until anyone who knows what they're doing has done the work for him. retroarch was reporting ARMv7, for a start...
-
@Brunnis they revert the firmware update probably they found the performance drop
-
@dankcushions he did an overclocking video and it was so bad and obviously for views.
He did over_voltage=2 and then two lines later did over_voltage=4, thus overwriting the first one.
-
@Bearwynn and in the videos I saw (dont know about his latest) he says nothing about proper stability testing. A lot of people out there just copy paste what they see him do and then wonder why their pi is freezing/crashing all the time.
-
@quicksilver He reviewed the GPi case, and everyone went and bought it. Then some users started complaining about an audio noise issue.
Turns out, Lon.TV reviewed the case too at about the same time as ETA Prime, but he really went into detail about that issue and I just dodged a freaking bullet thanks to that. -
@jrb555 You know, I have become a stickler for reading reviews for this very reason. I've wasted some cash on taking someone's word for it. A lot of the '1 or 2 Star' reviews are the purchaser's faults or "1 Star because the green seems more pine green than army green" reviews but you'll catch a consistency among them if you read enough and there is a problem.

@retropi19
Upgrade Retropie to Buster does not work on pi4
Needs a clean buster base to boot and then same can be backwards compatible
Tested -
@2Play is it possible to install retropie manual in raspbian buster lite with the script?
last time i tried a week ago i think it said something about add your arm device manual,is this fixed now?
-
Just got my first pi because I wanted to toy with this and other things and lucky me got the version that is not yet supported. Just wondering if there is an ETA for the version that is going to work with the rpi4. I have been looking and everything only states in the works and I was jsut curious about when it might be here.
-
@DKarn No set date for when RetroPie will work on the Pi 4. The devs are working on it.
-
@jrb555 I stopped watching ETA Prime for long time. His way of talking is very nice, but it's obvious he is doing these fake reviews/first hands on videos for advertising.

Yeah this was pointed out to him in the comments.

My Pi 4 just showed up in the mail!
Since RetroPie doesn't have an image ready yet, I guess I'll check out Raspbian since I've never used it proper.EDIT: My urges were too much to handle, and I ended up compiling RetroArch to test PC98 performance. The number's aren't 100% accurate since I had a desktop enviroment (which could potentially hamper performance), but I did notice that we can go to 16x clockspeed multiplier without slowdown now, which is nice.
-
@HurricaneFan is there any way to follow the progress ? not asking for ETA just want to follow the progress
-
@marine88 You could always watch what is getting committed to the master branch: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/commits/master
This doesn't give you a good idea though on how soon you might see a pi4 RetroPie release though.
-
I highly recommend following on GitHub. It's also fun to read the GitHub discussions/banter and see how it all comes together. It really makes you appreciate the hard work these folks do.
-
@shadow hope you are right? Is there anywhere we can ask, verify, or learn of progress on this release?
