Well, I did a risky move: got rid of my Raspberry Pi 3b+ and bought a Raspberry Pi 4 in Aliexpress. Estimated delivery, first days of October. Maybe enough time until version 7. Thanks to all developers! Love Recalbox!

Good morning, I'm waiting for the version of recalbox compatible with raspbery pi 4 to come out, I like to play games for the nintendo 64 and Game cube, I have the retropie 4.6 and it's worth it because it slows down in such a way that you can't even play In all the games I have read in the recalbox / other languages / Spanish section that the version for the pi 4 will be released in a few days, can you inform me? Thank you

No date for the release, may be few weeks or months

Hello to all our English-speaking fellows whom we have been neglecting a bit lately!
So here are some late-breaking news about the progress of Recalbox 7.0!
To make a long story short, we're in the final stages of debugging and improvements.
There are a lot of new features in this version, a lot of bugs fixed, and a lot of small improvements here and there.I invite you to read in detail the release note here, even if it's incomplete, since we've moved to a private Gitlab repository due to a beta leak: https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/-/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES.md
Don't worry, we're still working actively to stabilize this release!For Recalbox 7.0 we wanted it to be as perfect as possible. So of course it's impossible, because a lot of things are not only up to us.
But we have made our best effort, both the development team and the 20 or so beta testers, to track down as many bugs and imperfections as possible and fix them.Recalbox is a true major release:
- Perfect Pi4 compatibility
- New emulators (OpenBor, Solarus, Saturn, ...)
- New libretro cores
- Our EmulationStation has evolved to be faster, more fluid & ergonomic and more solid! It also integrates a lot of new features.
- A faster startup, and a more user-friendly installation!
- New update procedures, faster and more secure.
- Tons of nice new features that will simplify your life.
- Surprises that I can't talk about and that you'll discover the day of the release!
- ...
And despite all this, we still have a lot of things, some of them already in development, waiting for you in the next version!
Next version which should come much faster thanks to the new update procedure.We still ask you to be patient, Recalbox 7.0 is in the last straight line!
-
Thats great news. I looking forward to the release.

I had the honor to test the RB7 beta version.
It is a very great and fast system but also different to the previous ones.
So now there are a few questions:In the beta test version, i wasn´t able to change the splashscreen/splashscreen video,
because after rebooting the system has been auto-restored from /boot/recalbox file.
There was no boot error, so does it always restore it after a restart ?
Or do we get an option to disable this option or do we get an option to update the /boot/recalbox file from
current file system?
And another big question, is the GameCube Emulator added to the ES menue or do we need to start it from pixel desktop
?However, great great work guys !!!
Happy coding...
