@Zing This is an external HDD booting only only RB. I think what I might do is boot on an SD card and keep all my roms on a different hard drive. i wont have time to try it until the weekend though.

@ivwshane said in Raspberry Pi4 released - 3 times the performance.:

When the pi3+ came out it was said that a total rewrite of the core was required (I may not have the terminology correct). Are we looking at the same type of rewrite required or will this be something akin to recompiling the code to recognize the new hardware?

^^ This is entirely new hardware. Different CPU, Different Ram, etc. And since the Recalbox crew took like a year to make it compatible with the Pi3b+, I don't expect Recalbox to work with the Pi4 for a long, LONG, LOOOOONG time.

But when 2020 or 2021 rolls around and Recalbox does finally become compatible? I'm sure it'll be amazing!

Also this claim of the Pi4 being compatible with existing Pi products? Horsecrap! None of the existing Pi3 cases will fit, none of the existing Pi3 software will work, etc.

I'm trying version as we speak.  After selecting my hdd in the settings menu it reboots and after that it got stuck on the black recalbox screen.  It's been there for about 10 minutes.  How long does it take to boot and is this every boot?
