      It says that is 2-3 faster than Pi4, maybe N64 games will run without issues. and maybe gamecube games will be possible to run.

        Sounds like it should run the Cave CV1000 games without issue. Very excited!

          Interesting. All eyes will probably be on the capability of the GPU as there are a few A76 based machines available already. It will be interesting to see where this new Pi sits in terms of of power vs. its rivals. PCIe via a hat is a nice move, though it will require a custom case.

          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)

            Dang, you beat me to the punch posting this! I havent messed with my Pi much as of late, but if these aren't scalped to high heaven I might pick up one and see how it fares. Having an actual power button built-in is really nice, as is the real-time clock.

                Will this work on my existing setup of RetroPie which uses pi4b as I've got my setup exactly how I want it but to have more power for some games which need just alittle more power it would be great. It would be amazing if we can just replace the board and boot our same sdcard.

                  No. The new board will be supported by a new - also unreleased - RasPi OS, so it will not work with the existing RetroPie image.

                    Do you know if it would be possible to upgrade my existing setup to the new OS in the future.

                      Just like any OS upgrades so far, it's not recommended to do it in place, a backup/restore of ROMS/Configs is recommended. Let's wait until we get there though.

                          Considering YouTubers already received some boards, I'm surprised they haven't provided any to you all. Surely the Pi foundation is aware that retropie is responsible for much of their sales.

                            Exciting news! Be interesting to see where the power jump sits and how the capability is (and frankly how the demand and bad the stock issues are)

                            Pi 5 4GB

                              I'm not sure we're having such a big chunk of their sales as you think. If I'm looking at the RPI Imager stats, we're under 3% of the installations done through their tool.

                                @mitu Does that include installations with third party apps like Etcher, or pre-built images from the usual suspects?

                                I wouldn't have thought that emulation made up, say, 70% of their sales -- but I'd be quite surprised to hear it was less than 10%.

                                  Of course not, those are RPI Imager stats only.

                                    @mitu I was one of the people who got Pi 5 Hardware in advance - i dont have a great need for it, so would be happy to send it to the developers of retropie if it would help get the upgrade moving.
                                    I was only going to use it to make a retro console anyway..

                                      Dreamcast and PSP Emulation test at 9:59. I long since sold my Pi 4. How does this compare with an overclocked Pi 4?

                                      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)

                                        @George-Spiggott Dreamcast was okay on 4, so I don't see too big of a difference. PSP, however, is significantly better. Tekken runs much smoother than before.
