 It´s no "out of the box". All we have to hardly setup. Even made all the sets, simply doesn´t get to work. It sucks!

 This distribution allows you to make a Retroarch machine out of the box, it uses LibreElec building environment so you can easily create your own custom image. I choose it a year ago for a rpi4 because it was the only one supporting arm64 while experimenting with Vulkan.

 I have this running on a Raspberry Pi 4. The GUI is intuitive and excellent. I am able to play games from Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, Nintendo Entertainment System, and Super Nintendo without any issue at all. If you are looking for something that can be easily flashed onto an SD card and turn your Raspberry Pi into a gaming appliance, look no further than Lakka. It also works beautifully on a standard Linux laptop or PC. However, I prefer to have a dedicated Pi that can be switched on at any time for a plethora of games.
