Recently a new version of the awesome games emulation software Retropie was released for the latest and more powerful Raspberry Pi 4 mini PC. If you are interested in learning more about its gaming performance check out the video created by the Spawn Wave YouTube channel below.
“The Raspberry Pi 4 came out last year and I decided to pick one up when it came out. The only problem is it wasn’t supported at the time since it was so new. Now a lot of the emulation scene is starting to catch up with Retropie now making an image for it showing just how strong the Raspberry Pi 4 really is.”
