      As mentioned above, maybe it would make sense for people (like me) using bluetooth game controllers. (As the internal BT of "old" Pi 3 is not the best choice and the Pi 3B+ seems to have a new controller).
      Anyway, if the power consumption stays on the level of first tests report, I think it's not worth at all.

      Pi 4:
      Sony DualShock 4 (2nd gen), 8BitDo Pro 2, 8BitDo SF30 PRO, Retroflag SUPERPi 4 Case, Recalbox 9.0

      Pi Zero 2W:
      GPi Case 2W, Recalbox 9.0

        Have you read what @voljega posted ?

          I placed my amazon-order yesterday (40,90€ not the best price, i know ...).

            "Production lifetime: The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ will remain in production until at least January 2023."
            C'est quand-même osé dans le contexte actuel. La concurrence ne dort pas nonplus et 1400Mhz avec un GPU pas plus performant, c'est loin d'être un scope.

              @dragu en même temps la fondation Raspberry Pi n'a pas les impératifs d'une société commerciale... le fait que le pi soit utilisé pour du retrogaming c'est pour eux de l'accessoire.

                @dragu le pi est la seuke board à ma connaissance qui est capable de te cracher quasi n'importe quel signal analogique grace au gpio. Alors même si à notre niveau de recalbox ce n'est pas encore très exploité, personne d'autre ne peut faire ça. Et ca vaut de l'or. Tout comme le changement de résolution à la volée en framebuffer, aucune autre carte que j'ai sous la main ne peut le faire (et je commence à en avoir)

                  D'accord, mais pour Recalbox cela représente du travail pour vous, de nouvelles versions qui ne vont pas forcément apporter des avantages sensibles au niveau des jeux. Et avec tous ces intermédiaires, combien de versions différentes de Recalbox y aura t'il en 1923 ? Et à un certain moment il faudra obligatoirement prendre la décision quelle platforme encore maintenir. 🙂

                    having played around in overclocking Pi 3 to 1.37Ghz in Recalbox, i saw very little improvement. 200Mhz just isn't a substantial change.

                    Is there any announcement about the fact rpi3b can't be overclocked ? Going from 1.37 to 1.4 is certainly not a big deal for most game, going from 1.37 to 1.57 is a big deal though.

                    Btw, pi2 to pi3 was only 100Mhz improvement, 64bits was useless for emulation, and a lot of people have issues with onboard bt/wifi (which is no big deal either for emulation).

                      @barbudreadmon I read someone wondering if pi3b+ weren't just stabilized pi3 with overclocking activated by default...

                        @voljega Perhaps @gkralicek2 could confirm if this new version accept OC ?

                          @barbudreadmon Overclock works fine with new pi 3 B+ (i tested it briefly this afternoon with raspbian). I managed to achieve a 200 Mhz b*mp (from stock 1.4 Ghz to 1.6Ghz) without any problem on all of the 10 unit we got for test in the lab where i work. Idle temperature at 1.4Ghz is somewhere around 56-58 celsius and it climbs up to 68-70 once overclocked @1.6Ghz (which turns out to be closer to 78 degrees once a few stress tests are executed). Much better than the results i got with the original Pi 3 with copper heatsink when overclocked from 1.2 to 1.5 (which was slightly above 80 Celsius at times hence provoking random freezes).
                          I'll try to do some more tests if i got spare time during the next few days trying to get close to 1.7 Ghz if possible (but as far as 1.6 gets me close to 80 degrees i'm afraid pushing more will end up in random freezes)

                              @gkralicek2 It's very good news. My previous rpi3 was frozen with 1340 MHZ. If this b*mp can make reach at least 1500 MHZ for me it's a success :). I ordered it soem days ago yet so let's wait for Recalbox to support it.

                              Raspberry Pi model: RPi 3b+
                              Recalbox build : 7.0.1 DragonBlaze
                              Hardware: MicroSD UHS 128 GB up to 80 MB, Class 10 and 2.5 A Power Supply.
                              Overclocked: 1485 MHZ
                              Controller(s): Wired Xbox 360 PAD (working perfectly on any other game/emulator).

                                    Hi,
                                    I received my first Pi 3B+ at the moment.
                                    I tested with Recalbox 18.02.09, and I have a small icon "yellow sign electric" in the upper right corner of my screen, that's all.
                                    I tested with raspbian 2018-03-13, and there my raspberry works, so it is not defective.
                                    I think a new file is needed to support the new processor model...

                                        @mickaelm Pi3B+ only came out a few days ago. Give it time.

                                          gpu_freq=500
                                          core_freq=500
                                          sdram_freq=500
                                          sdram_schmoo=0x02000020
                                          over_voltage=4
                                          sdram_over_voltage=2

                                          With these, temp is very close to 80 degrees when running emulators like reicast for a while. But so far it held up well without freezing on most of the cards i tried.

                                            @substring is there a way to edit the files to get it to work while it gets updated? as retropie works but wifi dodgy, keep up the good work its appreciated 🙂
