      Hi Everyone!

      I'm new here and did search for this question but nothing popped up so here it goes!
      Me and my son have started building an mini Arcade to keep us busy in these crazy times.
      I want to use one of those 128GB collection images but I will need to upgrade the actual RetroPie software as I am going with a Pi4.

      Should this be possible to do?

      Cheers

        Collection images violate the terms of the RetroPie license. They are not supported here.

          @RedMarsBlueMoon third party images are not supported here so we won't be able to help you out if anything goes wrong with that image. And it's very likely that something will go wrong because a lot of those preconfigured images are so mucked up you can't make heads or tails of them when it comes to troubleshooting. I would seriously recommend starting with the stock image and configuring it yourself.

            Ok that's good to know (how messy they usually are).
            I'll follow your advice then and will start my own project from scratch.
