Can you run RetroPie on Raspberry Pi 4?

Yes, RetroPie can run on Raspberry Pi 4. RetroPie is a popular software package that allows users to turn their Raspberry Pi into a retro gaming console. It supports a wide range of gaming platforms and emulators. The Raspberry Pi 4, with its improved hardware specifications, including a faster processor and more RAM, can handle running RetroPie smoothly. However, it is important to note that RetroPie for Raspberry Pi 4 is still in development, and users may encounter some compatibility issues with certain emulators or games.

Although RetroPie will work on any Raspberry Pi, even the $5 Raspberry Pi Zero, we recommend using one with as much RAM as possible, because this will result in a smoother gaming experience. For our tutorial, we'll be using an 8GB Raspberry Pi 4.
