      @fluffypillow, here is an possible extension for your listing of the packages:

      configuration/splash screens (not implemented in Pi 4 yet)
      https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2849
      https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2852

      Sorry, found it!

      Thank you very much for your hard work!

            On the visual support progress page, do each of the columns with a specific architecture relate to one of the computers in the top chart? Or are they not related like that?

            As a follow-up question, so if I wanted to see specifically which pieces still needed to be implemented for full rPI 4 support, which column would I need to look at?

              They are related, but there's not a 1:1 mapping - for instance ARMv7 covers both PI2 and Pi3, X11 and x86 are also related but not exclusive.

              The PI4 will rely on the KMS/DRM subsystem, so you can take a look at that column. Note that some packages are not working with KMS/DRM and it doesn't mean they'll be implemented for the PI4, so don't take that column as a 'progress'.

                For the record, here are the columns that affect the progress bars:

                • Raspberry Pi 0/1: VideoCore + ARMv6
                • Raspberry Pi 2: VideoCore + ARMv7
                • Raspberry Pi 3: VideoCore + ARMv8
                • Raspberry Pi 4: DRM/KMS + ARMv8
                • Odroid C1/XU3/XU4: Mali + ARMv7
                • Odroid C2: Mali + AArch64
                • Desktop Linux: X11 + x68

                (This info is also visible when hovering on the progress bars with a mouse.)

                  I am patiently waiting for Pi4 support, I also haven't gone out and purchased one yet. I will get a Pi4 when the Retropie team has gotten there.

                    Same here.. I wonder if they will see a bump up in sales for raspberry pi 4 when retropie got a build for it.

                        @fluffypillow thanks again for putting this together. For better or worse it has inspired me to start on a Pi4 build and hopefully learn a bit more about this stuff.

                        And to the rest of the team keep on doing the amazing stuff that you do.
