RetroPie is now available for the Raspberry pi4.

It works very well, with the extra horse power over the pi3 I added a UI Theme (TRONKYFRAN) CRT Shader or bilinear filtering for vector games and overlay bezels, which really enhance the look of the whole system.

A setup video below.  And if you're into arcade emulation, check out work by OrionsAngel.  You can scale in RetroPie so you can fill the screen with a game and only have a section of the arcade machine art.

Mac Studio M1 Max ( 10 core CPU - 24 core GPU ), 32GB LPDDR5, 512GB SSD,
Beelink SER7 Mini Gaming PC, Ryzen 7 7840HS 8-Core 16-Thread 5.1GHz Processor, 32G DDR5 RAM 1T PCIe 4.0 SSD
MSI MEG 342C 34" QD-OLED Monitor

Until the next time.

lol I know what you mean.  Burger Time looks amazingly authentic with the arcade machine overlay that guy produced, and a CRT shader.  We both love that game.  It's pointless me completing my clone when you can get the real thing, plus control is so much more responsive on pi4.
