      Hello All,

      Congratulation on the new release!

      I was able to successfully move all my ROMs and Configurations over with easy and everything is up and running RB 7 on my pi 3 b+

      Here is my question, if I am mostly playing MAME, NES, SNES emulators which seem to be fine on the 3b+

      Would you guys recommend buying the pi4?

        @sroach imo, if you can play all the games you want on your rpi3, there is no need to buy a more powerful board.

        If your question was answered, please mark it as solved: Topic Tools -> Ask a question + Topic Tools -> Mark as Solved

              Is it enough to buy RP4 with 2GB? Or is it better 4GB?
              Cheers

                    4GB and especially 8Gb seems like overkill. Has anything on Recalbox EVER needed that kind of Ram? Highest i'd go on a Pi would be 4GB. 8GB and up should be reserved for the Next generation.
