Looking to build my first Pi

[karbotilne5]

Hi I'm looking to build my first rapsberry Pi with a recalbox. Mostly to play NeoGeo, PCE and some Md/Snes games. Somes questions :

how good is the emulation for these consoles ?

i was looking to buy a Pi4B but it doesn't supported. Should i buy a Pi3B+ instead ?

will the recalbox automatically work with a wired joystick madcatz TE ? (It works on pc)

Thanks !

It depends on which card you use, see:

Sorry, but this is a decision that only you can make, really now Rpi4 is not yet supported, and there is no certain date for it to be, I cannot tell you "buy Rpi3 +", because when Rpi4 will be supported, you will hate me ... If you are in a hurry, buy Rpi3 +, if you are patient, wait to buy Rpi4 when it is supported.

I don't have this joystick and I can't be sure, but search the list of compatible peripherals:
