Is there any benefit to 4G/8G Pi 4?
-
Should I buy a base 2G RAM Pi 4 or is emulation better with the extra RAM? I'm guessing it's all the same and it's the GPU that's the bottleneck so there is no value in the extra RAM.

@offlercrocgod Extra RAM is useless for emulation on the Pi. 2 is already overkill.

OK, excellent, it looks like 2G is all I need for retropie. Thanks for the help 🙂
