      Hi.
      I was gifted a rpi4 and decided to configure the old rpi3 for my girlfriend, so we can play online. However, I believe both of us need to have exactly the same retroarch version, right? On the rpi4 I am using one of the weekly images (I know, I know, it's not official and not supported). What retropie version should I install on the rpi3 so games are compatible with net play? If I updated both via the retropie-setup script, will they have the same retroarch version?

      Thanks in advance!

        You'll need both the same core and ROM versions on each netplay partner. If you're using an updated RPI3 image, the RetroArch version should be the same.

          Thank you. The roms shouldn't be a problem, since we will use a shared folder for them. Do you know if the Rpi4 will use the same retroarch cores as the rpi3, or since they differ in architecture, there will be separate releases?
