@LiveFreeDead Man, that video is fake, please don't publish something that you aren't sure if it is fake or not.

@mitu What image are you talking about ? About the overscan_scale, yes it was fixed in firmware sometime ago, it is included in latest Raspbian versions.
@BuZz I am pretty busy this days, I didn't received my RPi 4 yet, but I "played" a bit with one today, and from what I saw and read, despite the legacy driver (aka as broadcom proprietary drivers) still works for some parts, like h264 hw video decoding and some opengl es 2.0 stuff, it is buggy and the intention from the RPi Foundation is to abandon it completely and use the opensource video driver (mesa drivers) instead. For example, the legacy driver doesn't support the new h265 decoder. So probably you will have to develop an independent image / scripts for RPi 4, using the opensource drivers or migrate everything done in the past to the opensource driver. I believe that leaving the older RPi stuff like it is for now, and start working on RPi 4 image / scripts only on opensource driver will be easier.

@Rascas thanks for the info.
yeah. Actually that sounds a lot like our plan. Legacy driver could be a stopover although I've had some issues with it so far but I've not really done any debugging. Just added some buster support to the build system etc. @psyke83 has done some work with support for fkms driver etc.
I'm going to be releasing RetroPie 4.5 before we do any RPI 4 image. Which may be the final Stretch based RetroPie series.

@Rascas It's not fake, look at his other videos, he shows it isn't fake:

Don't want to post more videos inline, but he enjoys everyone calling his testing fake. I can't say he doesn't have a Pi 3b+ nearby doing the work instead, but he has a Pi 4 so no need to say fake, it was the only one I found that did more than boot to desktop or try to play videos or use youtube, that is why I shared it, I hope it isn't fake, he played with PPSSPP as his newest video. If I am wrong I am sorry to waste your time. I guess we'll have to wait until someone can first hand respond with what it does for them.

Massive respect for the work that you do, can I ask what's made you decide to release 4.5 first?
Is it purely because of the time spent on 4.5? Is there any concern that you build 4.5 and some of the updates don't work on the pi 4? Or do you feel that the changes in 4.5 will mean the 4 image will be better as a result?
Looking forward to both, just curious as to how you make a decision like that. 👍

@Jste84 4.5 is ready. RPI4 support is only just started. RetroPie doesn't work on the RPI4 yet.
-
we need to wwait is very green board yet!
-
@Rascas fake o not fake , but retroarch works, i've also tried it works, attached screenshot testing raspbian with retroarch+yabause (saturn)...

@karius1982 Can you run
retroarch --featuresand post the output ? -

Thank you, showing RetroArch working is 1/4 of the battle already won for RetroPie being at least at a stage that it will be able to be worked on by more devs than us all stuck waiting for the core OS devs to do their magic compiling new drivers, optimizations and updates, once the OS is ready for RetroArch in the mean time the Emulation Core coders can start on that side of things too.Good luck everyone and I hope you have a speedy delivery of your Pi's, I ordered day 1 and it's since been pushed back to Aug 4th for me :( I guess the 4gb versions weren't the main batch for release.
-
Yep, my mistake, I am sorry, it looks fine after all. I wasn't expecting that retroarch would run that good, without optimizations. Still not great but it will be better for sure.
-
I think the future will be good for the next revision this one just get very hot!
