Yeah, I'll probably get one anyway. Ridiculously, it's cheaper for me to order it from Korea than the UK. And I'm only in Ireland!
The problem is that the UK distributor is taking orders, whereas the Korean site is not.

First triangle drawn on pi 4 Vulkan!
Hard kernel? I just ordered mine for the same amount.
The distributor in the UK wanted ~€86 + €21 for shipping.
Oh yeah it was from the main supplier, just not sure where their based or shipping from
Thanks! I'll check it out. I think the thing that throws me off the most is the HDMI cable situation. With what it comes with you go from hdmi to micro hdmi with an adapter to flip it back? Am I misunderstanding?
yeah it just comes with that extra adapter for some reason, not really sure why, its just sitting in my drawer, maybe i'll use it someday?
GPU overclocking on the Pi4:
I just recently got a case with a fan, this one, and started messing with overclocking.
Got the CPU up to 2GHz, but it didn't seem to like any sort of overclock on the GPU. I guess that explains it!
This might be of intrest to someone?

So looks like my Odroid Go Advance is in the UK as got a email from DHL, they want £21.78 for import duty/tax!!!, this cheap handheld device just became not so cheap....bloody import tax
Yeah, mine is expected on Monday (Ireland) and I'm dreading that email!
I dont see how it can be so much the device itself if only like £42, should of told them to mark it as Gift and lower the value
We'll see, I guess. I seem to remember paying as much (if not more) as the cost of the Vita TV I imported a few years back. There's an admin fee from DHL on top of the actual amount, iirc.
AFAIK it's a pretty small team and this is entirely new hardware unlike the previous Pi 3b+ refresh.
I will say, I picked up a Pi 4 this last weekend and was able to download a beta image of Retropie. It was just the same to setup (just had to grab a beta image) and it runs even better than my pi 3, have found no issues so far. That said, I've only ran since this weekend!
I've just been using Lakka which has its own set of benefits. Main drawback is it's a lot less cool looking and less user friendly. Had to remotely use the command line to connect a bluetooth controller.
Pi 3 won't really handle it. At least not well and consistently on every game. Pi 4 on the other hand does it swimmingly on ~SNES level games.
Thanks
I'll stick with turn based games on my Pi3 then until I feel the need to upgrade
I might wait for the Pi5 since they seem to come out every few years and the upgrades seem pretty substantial with each iteration
Pi 1 released 2012, Pi 2 released 2015, Pi 3 released 2016 and Pi 4 released 2019 so it seems pretty wildly inconsistent.
That's 4 iterations in 7 years, so unless things change drastically going forward it should arrive within a few years
It's cool either way as I still have tons of games I want to play on my Pi 3
User Banned (5 days): Admitting to piracy and posting links to pirated content.
Looking for some feedback as a new Pi owner if someone is willing to help me. I downloaded this rom pack (128gb one):
Mod Edit: Link to pirated contents removed.
I used a program called Rufus to install the ISO to my MicroSD card but I noticed that in Windows it is now detecting the drive as being only 256mb. Is this normal? I have a Pi in the mail that won't be here for another week or so.
I am now hearing there are issues with using this on a 4K screen? Also possible issues with sound over HDMI? Anyone have any experience with this stuff that could kind of give me a guide on how to get everything to work? Could find anything anywhere.

Broken image?Look what's turned up.....slightly battered I may add....
Nice! Got mine on Saturday, but have not had as much time with it as I'd hoped. Impressions are good so far, though.Look what's turned up.....slightly battered I may add....
Let us know how you get on.
Does anybody have any expectations for Pi day on the 14:th of March or the aniversary of the first pi on the 29:th of Feburary?
I'm half expecting something dull like a new Compute Stick (4) or a 4A with 0,5 or 1GB RAM. Good for corporate sales though, a 4A would do well within digital signage (and help finance node shrinks for that nice and shiny Pi5... thats due around 2025 :p ).

Frustrated. A few weeks ago had retropie running g just fine on my pi 4. I travel for work last week. Come back today and it seems like I get no video out. I was literally just going to make a backup of all my scrapes, etc! I check my router and it doesnt seem to be connected there either. Any one else run into this issue?
Can't say I have but there isn't an official pi 4 version yet. Can you get video out with another OS?
I'm using a beta build which has ran spotless so far. I had it unplugged for a week while I traveled for work. When I tried getting it going again today bam, nothing. What I'm concerned with is that the case I use was left open. This is because the slots for the micro hdmi and usb c in the case are too small for the cables. I meant to widen the holes but havent gotten around to it yet. I'm worried that maybe in getting things plugged in I may have touched something I shouldnt have and shorted something out. Seems far fetched though. It looks like it powers on fine. I get the blinking green light. For now I'm setting it aside for a bit until I have time to research and see if I can find anything.

You get nothing, nothing? As in the screen doesn't realize there's anything on the other side?
Have you tried the silliest of all options, that the HDMI cable has popped out on either end for whatever god forsaken reason? Have you checked that the SD-card hasn't plopped out for similarly unknown reasons?
The other thing that I can think of is that iirc the Pi doesn't support hotplugging. So if you have the HDMI unplugged while powering it up, I don't think it'll read the screen information properly and it may not output anything useful due to that.
Also take a look here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=58151 and read up on the green LED behaviour.

Thanks for the response. After tinkering for a while I've determined the microSD went kaput. I took a spare micro SD and flashed an image and it worked with no issues. Got set to return the bum one in the next few days. I was just panicking initially.
Somebody's set up an x86 emu on the pi4 to testrun various games. The short seconds of Undertale that I watched seemed to work ok.
That's a good price :) Doesn't seem like the change in price has happened here in Norway yet.
Let us know how you get on with it. I googled it and found on the Odroid site:Look what's turned up.....slightly battered I may add....

£144! seems a bit expensive.
Also, is the D-pad the same size as the OG GBA's (and Gamecube, I think)? Cos that was a horrible D-pad.
Don't buy the fully assembled Odroid. Buy the kit version. It's nearly half the price and very, very easy to put together.
I bought an arcade stick (razer panth)
I own a fuck ton of games bc I've been gaming since I was a kid but have never used emulation before and this is my first fight, or arcade stick. I'll use it mainly for mortal kombat but is there a way to buy a raspberry pi, plug into tv and just plug this ps4 arcade stick into the pi?
My living room is a mess of consoles and I'm thinking this is the solution. Can set all this up using an iPad Pro? Do I need the newest pi?
Is there a cheap way to make my arcade stick work with a switch or Xbox one too?

Don't quote me on this as I'm new and working out my own issues with it, but yes. Buy the 4, install the image of the latest retropie, and then simply connect the arcade stick. During controller configuration it should detect the stick and you customize everything. There's a bit more setup but that's the big gist.
