Raspberry pi 4 running retropie issue

@lewsidius No, we just have to wait. When it's available it will on the website.

@sirhenrythe5th Thanks for the info. Its definitely available I have one right here. Im just trying to get over a hurdle right now with the controllers but I have Retropie running on it.

Do you have a Retropie image? Or did you try to install Retropie on Raspian Buster?

You can get it to work, but it isn't officially supported and you will experience problems. The emulators are also not optimised. I am guessing you downloaded one of the images floating around.

@lewsidius Try a nightly build of Lakka. It's still not optimized, and it's buggy, but it's something to play around with while we wait for a new retropie build.

FYI the other arcade package "Recalbox" won't even run on PI 3 yet.

Spent a few hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong until I asked that forum.

@MaMikee Surly Recalbox runs on a Pi3B/B+ - but that's not the matter here

MaMikee

It didn't as of 11 days ago, at least their featured version.

These things take time, which is on topic

@MaMikee [[ 3A+ != 3B && 3A+ != 3B+ ]]

TMI, but thanks

@Darksavior I tried lr-snes2010 on RPI4 with nightly build of Lakka. As anticipated by the retroarch team the "run-ahead" runs smoothly, with a significant decrease in delay.

Darksavior

@saccublenda Yep, I use lr-snes9x for the msu1 support and that runs well too. I'm not too fond of run-ahead. It feels weird.

KN4THX

@Darksavior I have not tried it yet, what makes it feel weird? Does run-ahead have adjustable delay so that you could get it to mimic an original console's lag ?

Darksavior

@KN4THX Not sure how to describe it. Test out a megaman nes game with a runahead setting of like 4 or 5 to really feel it, though I feel it at around 2.

Hi, I built retropie on a Pi4 using the fkms_rpi4 Retropie-setup branch. I searched the EmulationStation repo for a dev branch linked to the Pi 4, but I haven't found it.

Is there any branch for EmulationStation Pi 4 development? On a fork?

Maybe it's old news, but the Lakka build for Pi4 is now available as a stable release.
