The new Raspberry Pi 4 is here!!
-
@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.
-
@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??

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

I'm a bit depressed that the weak link for me in running Steamlink will be my PC rather than my Pi.

Got the Pi4 a power switch now?
-
How much do you want to bet that with proper cooling the cpu can reach 2 ghz. Which depending on how strong the GPU is, could be just under the requirements for gamecube.
-
@shadow Tom's hardware's review seemed to imply that 1.75ghz is currently the limit determined by the firmware. But perhaps that will change

@frezeen Not sure about the comments of it struggling with Youtube. Chris @ ExplainingComputers.com released a video today and it seemed to playback Youtube full screen without an issue. The benchmarks do seem so verify what he said 2-4 times faster depending on what you are doing.
His video is here for those that are interested.
Just watched that video now and seeing that the GPU is 256mb gives better hope that more emulation might work a lot better and also holding off on buying one right now until there is a new image for RetroPie for this cause i would really like to do some emulation testing on it especially for the more demanding arcade games out there because it would be interesting to see if some games like Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken 4 work on it as well as other games that you had to overclock the Pi 3B+ for it to work .
