The new Raspberry Pi 4 is here!!

[Headcrab]

I've read in a technical pdf that : the Ethernet packets do not need to be repacked into USB packets anymore, thus latency and processing overhead are decreased on the Pi 4

Let's see if this makes even a tiny difference in applications like moonlight or SteamLink.

@dankcushions I think the 3DO could be doable as well as some (but not all) of the Atari Jaguar's library too.

Personally, It'll be interesting to see how Sega Saturn emulation will improve but given that Mednafen's Saturn core is quite demanding I can't see the same level of compatibility happening on a Pi4 myself. Though that said, some of it's 2D games will run very nicely.

Also will the improved and updated Reicast be appearing at some point with it's Sammy Atomiswave support?

All I am interested in is being able to play Gauntlet Legends in MAME - anyone reckon this will be possible without frame rate issues etc?

@SuperFromND Hopefully DosBox running with V-Sync would be dandy.

@Cornervizion Currently you can enable dispmanx for dosbox and this takes care of the screen tearing issue.

@chubsta Only speculation at this point, so no one can say for certain. We'll just have to wait until some of the devs get their hands on one.

What I'm thinking is: will RetroPie support dual screen? That would be great for building your own NDS. It will be quite a fat one, I'm afraid. Does some frontend support use of dual screen already? If not, how much effort will it be to add it?

I just need a good case for this!
I got an alluminum case for my 3, which probably won't fit this.

Um, which are better FANS or HEAT SINKS? I've been using the later with my 3B.

[Marcel]

@Jiryn Using both works best. See

@Marcel Doesn't fit my current case.

@quicksilver I did attempt it back on my Pi2 but this came at the cost of performance. I might try it again shortly on the Pi3.

Here's my current case, yea I couldn't do a fan and heat sinks in it.. but I love the form factor and design.

Those ones you linked look great!

with the Gigabit ethernet, is having big ROMs (PSX, Dreamcast, etc.) stored on a NAS an option? These little SD cards can only hold so much...

Killer Instinct 1 and 2?! I'll buy just for that... haha

I got a 500GB in mine, was on sale a few months ago for $50 during an amazon flash sale.

I wonder how feasible running 8/16-bit systems at 4K with crt shaders so we can get non-artifacted scanlines (2160 = 240 * 9, while 1080 = 240 * 4.5).

I want silly things.

Does this mean no more ghost Bluetooth input??

Aside from the increased emulation abilities I'm going to need one because of this alone for a new pi-hole
