retropie for the PI4 ????
-
@Darksavior I know what you are talking about: M.F. & the crew with a name similar to the pop-band "the supremes".
I read M.F. last postings before he got "fired" concerning the ban of this popbandnamecrew because of their patreon-politic.
I fully agree that all these FB-Groups are trash!
And i dont make a difference between selling fully-loaded GPi-Cases (did not know that in detail, i thought he is just selling the CASES) or give special goodies for unofficial 3rd-party-software only when you pay in patreon.
Thats not my understanding of a free project and i am very lucky that we dont have this kind of kindergarten here.
This forum is great and the only way if you want to want to learn about the real thing imo. -
Asking for progress updates does not make someone impatient, nor should it be something people get upset about. It simply shows that people are interested and excited about the project. This of course excludes people that are being rude, negative, and demanding. It is possible to respectively ask for updates while remaining understanding of the time it takes to create such a amazing platform.

Entitled or not, free or not, contributed or haven't, at the end of the day all that matters is It’s not done and inexcusable.

I understand this is being done on peoples free time but its been four months since the release of the pi4. Mansions Ill just leave this here
Fastest-built home: 2 hours, 52 minutes, 29 seconds
In 2005, a team of volunteers in Tyler, TX, set a world record building a 2,249-square-foot house in under three hours—hence its name,"2-Hour House."
:D
-
that's a three hour house

@ohmycommodore I think that's the retail mentality where people see a $9.99 item and say "Hey, that's cheap, it's not even ten dollars!".

@dankcushions never said I wasn't a dick. I was simply saying that guy just asked a question and people were being rude. who cares if someone asked a question on progress or anything else. who cares if the question was asked 3839283 times. its a forum its whats it for. my previous comment still stands, we are now over 5 months since the release of the pi 4 with no suitable retropie software... just lazy. Hike up those - marks for this comment its nothing more than likes to me. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA.
-
@Bryan00569 only people who are lazy are those who complain about the progress of a community project.
-
@herb_fargus ....... LOL yea we will go with that.

I used to say the same thing about 'Your momma's so fat' jokes. Then one day, after watching her annihilate a whole box of Chocodiles and wash it down with a carton of buttermilk during the commercial break of a 'Cake Boss' marathon, I had to ask myself; "Is she indeed sitting around the house"? To that end, maybe you are indeed being entitled and impatient.

This is incorrect. The github has the RPi4 branch which works quite well for many, many of the platforms. Simply install Raspbian on your RPi4 and install the retropie-setup script from that branch. Then install the emulators and other tools you want. There are some pretty decent howto's on how to do all of this on reddit for instance.
What you will get with that is basically what RetroPie will be when it's done for the RPi4 minus some system specific optimizations I'm guessing. But in my experience it works well. I've been playinf N64 games by doing this with very decent performance. Something I can't do on the RPi3B+. -

Yes, we know, a house was built in 3 days, the world was done in 6 (according to some sources), etc. You're repeating yourself.
never said I wasn't a dick.
Then be yourself elsewhere. This is not a public forum and you're insulting the people that created this place to begin with.

While we are on the subject of development progress, I have general questions regarding the individual applications used in Retropie.
Is each emulator supported by its own team or is the Retropie team involved in managing these to make sure they are Raspbian/RPi Hardware compatible?
Sort of the same question I guess, but to word it differently, there are variations of each emulator for different hardware and OSes, so are those typically some sort of fork developed by a different set of individuals or is the Retropie team directly involved in the Retropie specific ones?

Well apparently that guy sucked.
But seriously, thanks to all the developers using their free time to help bring us greater entertainment. I hope there is a Pi4 build soon but I know it will be released when it's ready. Keep up the great work you awesome developers!

@KN4THX Generally, RetroPie tries to make sure the emulators/applications/libraries included work well on the Pi - patches or bug reports are sent to the upstream project to ensure that.
They are a few ones that don't have any upstream anymore, they've been hosted on the RetroPie Github repository and maintained, but they're not actively developed anymore (Daphne, pisnes, zdoom, pifba).
There are also few applications directly handled directly by RetroPie - the most visible being Emulationstation (also not active upstream anymore).Since RetroPie is open source, you can check each package's origin on the Github repository - https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/tree/master/scriptmodules.

I love this forum, as soon as a "moderator" doesn't agree with something you say, he/she bans your account.... LOL what a joke of a forum. Great software terrible community but I guess you get what you pay for.

You were banned for language and trolling. If you have nothing constructive to say and you're here just to spite other forum members, I don't see the point ?
-
You sir, are a liar. I would never use foul language.

You are posting bad words, how have you not been banned? Its almost like you only ban people when you dont agree with them. A smart someone said that once.
