    How well do these work? I’m tempted to do a pi4 build but have been waiting in the official image. Does anyone have any problems out of these unofficial images floating around?
    Which image is the best one to use?

      We don't support 3rd party images in the forum.

        I understand that, was just looking for an opinion, not really direct support.

        By your statement I assume that opinion is “none”.

          well, if by "unofficial" you mean the weekly development build, we don't support it but it's pretty functional right now, if not super-optimised.

          if by "unofficial" you mean one of the 100s of preloaded images on various websites... in my experience the people who know how retropie works are contributing here :)

            https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Manual-Installation is what I followed to install on a base raspbian.
            I've had no issues.

              The weekly dev builds work very well. I haven't looked back since I installed mine in January. My Pi3B+ is now collecting dust.

                Thank you, this was what I was looking for sorry I should have been more specific, I was referring to the dev build.

                Has anyone gotten the actual arcade Naomi emulator working on the dev build? I know a certain you tuber that had it working with a third party retropie image but no one has said if that is functional in the dev build or not, which I assume this dude used to make his image in the first place.

                  lr-flycast (which I assume you're referring as the Naomi emulator) works fine on the Pi4.

                    Yes, all the more reason to install retropie on raspbian lite or use the weekly retropie build and not use 3rd party images.

                      No, I was referring to the Naomi arcade emulator using the lr-reicast core not for Dreamcast roms but for the Naomi arcade Roms.

                        Yes, that's what I was referring to. There's no lr-reicast, it got renamed to lr-flycast in May last year.

                          Oh ok I didn’t know that. So there is no longer a standalone reicast core in the experimental packages?

                            There's a standalone emulator reicast, still present in RetroPie's packages, but that's no a core. core = RetroArch core, a libretro based emulator, like all the lr-.. cores. I'm not sure that Reicast (standalone) supports Naomi though.

                              Ok I think I understand what your saying. I’m going off a YouTube video of a guy supposedly using reicast for naomi arcade rom emulation. Would it be ok to link that video here?

                                Does it show if it uses standalone reicast or lr-flycast in the video ?

                                  Naomi support can be hit or miss. Might as well run the dreamcast versions on redream if you have a pi4.

                                    He uses a lr-reicast which is what you said was renamed to Lr-flycast yes?

                                    Oddly he has lr-flycast listed separately.

                                    He does plug an unofficial image which is why I was kind of hesitant about linking the video.

                                      @tackett1980 A trash 3rd party group renamed it to lr-reicast for some reason with their images. It doesn't officially exist. There's only reicast and lr-flycast.

                                        That makes total sense then.
