    The lakka nightlies are better than whatever custom build that person's using.

      Really cool to hear the nightlies are working great!!
      I don't have a Pi4 yet, but I want to get one, however... it would be wise to wait for a revision I think. (The USB C port stuff)

        The USB C port issue is barely an issue at all. It only affects "e-marked" cables which most people probably wont be using. The official RPI adapter works just fine for me and only cost $8.

          @quicksilver Yea I really appreciate the official psu being widely available at online shops here in the US and with an $8 price tag. Not many shops have the pi3 psu and it's more expensive.

            I hope someone collects the ~$900 bounty to add a dynarec recomp to mednafen psx beetle. It's the better emulator and has better compatibility. A pi4 oc'd to 2Ghz can run some 2d games near fullspeed but 3d games like mgs are at like 50fps. It ran a protected japanese game, cardcaptor sakura tetris, without the cheat patch. Haven't done much testing with more, though.

            This is on the nightly lakka build. I don't code so not sure just how unoptimized it is.

              @quicksilver Im very picky about how the power adapter looks and what the length is and all that.
              I will more than likely be using non-official stuff just like I did tons of times with the Pi 3.

              @Darksavior Do you think a dynarec recomp would make it work nicely without overclocking?

                @jrb555 I’m not a dev so it’s just a guess. I’d say yes, just because 3D games are around 10fps away from being full speed.

                    Hey, does anyone here use that 240p mod for the Composite output through 3.5mm?
                    These worked well on the 3B and 3B+, but I remember the + model required an update for it to work, and Im wondering if it works on the Pi4 or if we're gonna require an update for it?

                      Hi all. I am late to the Pi party, but just received my first ever Raspberry Pi, a 4Gb V4.

                      I'm super excited to get started on making a RetroPie arcade machine, using my old X-Arcade Tankstick.

                      Without any suggestion of putting any pressure on the RetroPie devs - whose volunteer work I really appreciate - can anyone give me a sense of how long it might be til a RetroPie for the Pi 4 becomes available?

                      Thanks in advance - and lots for me to learn to learn in meantime :)

                        @Appogee sorry mate, there is no WIP-Status or anything similar to get an idea when the next Retropie will be released.
                        You are one in a million waiting for it ;)

                          Won't be long, that's for sure! The changes in hardware are more complex than expected but there's tons of progress :)

                            Heads up to everyone who's waiting on retropie,

                            Lakka already had an officially supported build (a precompiled image at least) for raspberry pi 4 and am currently testing it out.

                            Doesn't take advantage of any new features like GLeS 3.0 but still seeing amazing performance in every game I've tested so far. Banjo-kazooi is at full speed with no audio bugs, and currently majora's mask is at full speed with no audio bugs.

                            This is without an overclock either, but I do have a heatsink and fan.

                            Just saying if you're interested, Lakka is a pretty good alternative at the moment.

                              @Bearwynn is there away for anyyone to get hold of this build? I'm holding off on a pi4 for the moment just because there isn't a build for me to use. I have a 1tb nvme usb drive and it takes forever to boot on pi3.

                                @dobsonatorx Lakka nightly that support Pi4 have been around for some weeks. Just google for them.

                                    Can you add games to Lakka via USB stick like RetroPie?

                                      @mat It is pretty easy to set up but no fancy interface like you have on retropie. Pick a core (Emulator) then load a rom. The latest version does work ok.

                                        @mat haven't given it a go, but you can just transfer directly from drag and drop from your PC

                                          Today I realized how far things have come and how long it has been since my RPi days started. I was cleaning out my entertainment shelves and found my retired Pi 1 B+ in the back covered in dust, still having the bluetooth and wifi dongles plugged in along with the powered Pi Hut hub next to it. I've had terrarium cams, media centers, retro gaming, and now possibly a permanent tv desktop pc box.

                                          It has been a fun adventure and the Pi 4 seems like the next big chapter in possibilities. I haven't had much tinker time with school and work and am glad that RetroPie hasn't released the Pi 4 optimized package/image yet or I might not study well for my last exams :)

                                          I am curious about one thing though. When RetroPie does an update (and this one might be considered a full upgrade?) do the devs wait for the emulators to be optimized for the hardware or is it released with whatever state the emulators exist at the time?
