      Just a general question I suppose, with the pi foundation switching over to 64 bit moving forwards for the later models is this something that RetroPie will do? Or there's too many emulators and processes that are strictly 32 bit?

        @retropieuser555 retropie has been available for 64-bit for over a year now :) just manually install to 64-bit raspberry pi OS buster.

        (bullseye support is still to come)

          @dankcushions ah thanks I didn't realise I thought it was still something that was all kinds of experimental. So arm64 Linux programs (like Melonds) should run? I mean they'd probably run on the pi os 64 bit. Just haven't tested that myself yet. Or you'd need a proper Linux desktop for that to work?

            melon ds has a libretro core so should be pretty trivial to create an install script for, no desktop required. however i believe it's open gl so it might be software-rendered only on pi, depending on requirements.

              @dankcushions yeah I've run the lr-core before on pi4 (but on 32 bit). Doesn't quite have the power for it so was curious if the arm64 standalone would be any better.
