Raspberry pi 4 running retropie issue

@sirhenrythe5th Thanks for the info. Its definitely available I have one right here. Im just trying to get over a hurdle right now with the controllers but I have Retropie running on it.

You can get it to work, but it isn't officially supported and you will experience problems. The emulators are also not optimised. I am guessing you downloaded one of the images floating around.

@lewsidius Try a nightly build of Lakka. It's still not optimized, and it's buggy, but it's something to play around with while we wait for a new retropie build.

FYI the other arcade package "Recalbox" won't even run on PI 3 yet.

Spent a few hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong until I asked that forum.

@MaMikee Surly Recalbox runs on a Pi3B/B+ - but that's not the matter here

MaMikee

It didn't as of 11 days ago, at least their featured version.

These things take time, which is on topic

@MaMikee [[ 3A+ != 3B && 3A+ != 3B+ ]]

TMI, but thanks

@Darksavior I tried lr-snes2010 on RPI4 with nightly build of Lakka. As anticipated by the retroarch team the "run-ahead" runs smoothly, with a significant decrease in delay.

Darksavior

@saccublenda Yep, I use lr-snes9x for the msu1 support and that runs well too. I'm not too fond of run-ahead. It feels weird.

@Darksavior I have not tried it yet, what makes it feel weird? Does run-ahead have adjustable delay so that you could get it to mimic an original console's lag ?

Darksavior

@KN4THX Not sure how to describe it. Test out a megaman nes game with a runahead setting of like 4 or 5 to really feel it, though I feel it at around 2.

Hi, I built retropie on a Pi4 using the fkms_rpi4 Retropie-setup branch. I searched the EmulationStation repo for a dev branch linked to the Pi 4, but I haven't found it.

Is there any branch for EmulationStation Pi 4 development? On a fork?

Maybe it's old news, but the Lakka build for Pi4 is now available as a stable release.
