      @IceChes1 My Gentoo/Dolphin setup is overclocked @ 2k on the CPU and 600 on the GPU. I rarely get over 20FPS on any games I try. If I turn frame skip up (a lot) I can make Bloodrayne and Legacy of Kain 2 run without lag but that's the best I get out of it. I'll keep the build and update it when changes happen just to see how things are progressing.

      I'm pretty sure that CPU speed and or the JIT are the bottlenecks for running Dolphin/Gamecube on the Pi4. I don't see Dolphin coming to Retropie anytime soon as it needs a 64 bit OS and apart from the performance benefits for 64 bit code and maybe Play! (which will also be very slow for now) there seems to be few benefits to making Retropie fully 64 bit at the moment.

      Currently running:
      Retropie 4.8.9 on a Pi Zero 2W (Overclock Settings: CPU 1400Mhz)
      ES-DE on a GMKtec K6 (Windows 11, 32GB RAM)

        I'm not sure if it's allowed therefore remove the post if it's not. I made the latest version of the weekly RetroPie build into a NOOBS compatible image. There's absolutely no ROMS or added BIOS's with it. It's simply the latest version of RetroPie (26/Jan/2020).

          @djchewmacca There's no need for this, especially since it's not an official release, but an un-tested image - if it's the same image, what's the point ?

            @IceChes1 if you search the official Raspberry pi forum page (not retropie) there's a code you can run that will backdate your firmware on your pi. this will then allow you to overclock your GPU once more

                @mitu It's for those who with to dual boot their Pi with RetroPie. I have mine multibooted with multiple OSs. I'm using PINN which is a variant of NOOBs. When the official release of RetroPie is released I will be able to replace this dev build with the full version and keep my multibooted OSs as they are.

                    I've installed the latest weekly build (retropie-buster-4.5.11-rpi4.img.gz) and have discovered that my PS3 pad does not show up on bluetooth. This used to be an issue with retropie back in the summer? Is this still the same issue with the same fix? Or was it resolved and came back in the weekly builds?

                    Thread with the old problem.

                      @George-Spiggott I don't think it's the same problem, though the symptoms might look similar.
                      Try installing the latest test Raspbian Linux kernel/firmware with

                      sudo rpi-update
                      

                      and then re-pair the controller via Bluetooth and see if there's any difference.

                        @mitu Thanks. I've just tried that. No change. I have since removed and reinstalled sixaxis just to be sure it was't that. I still can't see the PS3 pad on bluetooth.

                          @George-Spiggott - Is the pad fully charged?

                          Try removing it and re-adding it from the command-line..

                          $ bluetoothctl remove <mac address of pad>
                          $ bluetoothctl connect <mac address of pad>
                          

                          If that doesn't work, see if bluetoothctl can detect the pad..

                          $ bluetoothctl 
                          Agent registered
                          [bluetooth]# scan on
                          Discovery started
                          ...
                          

                          If it can discover other bluetooth devices but not the game pad, then there might be a discovery filter that's blocking it. To check it, do..

                          $ bluetoothctl 
                          Agent registered
                          [bluetooth]# menu scan

                          DuplicateData: off
                          

                          You can see mine is off, so there's no active filter. If yours is on, then try running the 'clear duplicate-data' and 'duplicate-data off' commands.

                            Yes it is charged, I get a controller showing (shown below) when the pad is attached via a cable but I can't remove it.

                            [CHG] Controller DC:A6:32:51:52:36 Discovering: yes

                            I tried the scan but it did not pick up the pad. Duplicate data is off. There's a weekly update out today I'll see if that fixes it.

                              I've been having the same problem with my Wii U Pro controllers. They paired and worked fine on my Pi3B but I can't connect them on my Pi4. I tried on the Feb 7th version but haven't yet on today's update. Busy at the moment clearing all my stuff off the Pi3 to place on my Pi4.

                                @ByteThis I have a Wii U Pro controller and it's pairing without issues with the Pi4, configuration is fine and it works in RetroArch (that's the extent of my test).
                                The PS3 does not have native pairing - AFAIK - and it needs to be be first connected via USB to start the pairing - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/PS3-Controller/#using-the-retropie-setup-gui-to-configure-the-ps3-controller-bluetooth-connection-for-sixaxis.

                                  Thanks I will try it again when I have everything transferred over. Did you have it paired with the older versions of the weekly dev branch or the latest versions ?

                                    I installed the first dev image released and updated normally since then - updating the OS and packages in Raspbian along the RetroPie's installed packages.

                                      PSP games run very well.

                                      Could you please tell me what core are you using for PSP and your configuration?
                                      I'm tryng PSP but I cannot reach a smooth gameplay.

                                          Using PPSSPP here on a vanilla Pi4 at 2x resolution. It depends on the game. Medieval runs fine, GTA Vice City slows down when there's a lot on screen, Little big planet ran ok even on my vanilla Pi3B (1x resolution). Even overclocked I've never got the Tomb raider games to run smoothly consistently.

                                          Currently running:

                                            Using PPSSPP here on a vanilla Pi4 at 2x resolution. It depends on the game. Medieval runs fine, GTA Vice City slows down when there's a lot on screen, Little big planet ran ok even on my vanilla Pi3B (1x resolution). Even overclocked I've never got the Tomb raider games to run smoothly consistently.

                                            Are you meaning running Tom Raider on PI3 or PI4. On PI4 it runs really good...both of them Anniversary and Legends.
