      @djchewmacca ? Really, so installing the weekly build is now as easy as the official builds I currently use in RP3, what about adding the games. Are the default emulators still installed when games are added and can custom themes from the theme list still be used?

        @mat Yes that all works the same way. Just be aware that its not officially supported yet, so while a lot of it works pretty seamlessly there may potentially be bugs or packages/emulators that are not working or not implemented yet.

          @quicksilver Well the only packages I use Atari 2600, NES, SNES, DS, GBA, Turbo GFX, Genesis, PS1, and LR-Mame 2003. Do all the emulators that work currently as default those work well for RP4?

          If so, I will give it a go :) And thanks for the replies.

                @MAnderson The weekly images are listed here: https://files.retropie.org.uk/images/weekly/

                Just download the one you want to try out and flash it to your SD card like you normally would

                  Hopefully, the last questions, is it wise to reinstall to the newest weekly build when they are released, or can I update the same way as I do now through the update script?

                  How well does LR-mame2010 run on RP4? I wouldn't mind moving on from 2003 since that is all I used on RPi3.

                    You can update normally, no need to re-install the image.

                    Should be better, but I don't use it that much so my experience is limited.

                      Thanks, and I was reading the thread over on reddit and some mentioned USB firmware/rom service? Is this something I need to do? My RP4 is when it was first released, so no firmware updates have been done to it.

                        You may be referring to the rpi-eeprom update service. This is now part of the default OS and it runs at boot to check if an update to the boot EEPROM or the USB controller firmware is needed, downloading and preparing the update on the next restart.
                        As long as you update the OS normally, this is installed and configured automatically.

                          I never updated the OS on RP3, but I did run "update all installed packages" every now and then so from the reddit thread, I guess that would update the OS too?

                                @djchewmacca Are there change logs or release notes for the weekly builds so we can see the changes from one to the next?
