Retroarch Lakka 2.9 Raspberry Pi 4. Installing the latest Nightly builds. And Raspberry Pi 400. It is installed on the Ultra Class 10 Micro SD Card. So High-speed running speed ensures smooth running of the game. Zoom for iphone. This version comes with picture previews, Video Previews, Descriptions, Custom themes pre-installed, and more! RetroPie 4.6.4 + RetroArch 1.8.8 + EmulationStation 2.9.3.
The Lakka team wishes everyone a happy new year and welcomes 2020 with a new update and a new tier-based releases system!
This new Lakka update, 2.3.2, contains RetroArch 1.8.4 (was 1.7.2), some new cores and a handful of core updates.
- For Christmas this year I received a Raspberry Pi 4, the new board straight out of the UK that boasts 2-3x the compute power of the last model.I've been wanting to take a crack at it, but I knew I wanted to ditch Raspbian, the stock OS, right away.
- Setting up RetroArch on a Raspberry Pi. I just put the finishing touches on my Raspberry Pi 3 emulation machine running RetroArch. I was not a huge fan of RetroPie due to the reliance on Emulation Station - more moving parts meant that there were more things that could potentially break.
As part of our new tier-based updates, Lakka 2.3.2 is for now only available for the following platforms:
- 64-bit Generic (
x86_64) - Rasperry Pi 1 and Zero (with and without GPICase)
- Raspberry Pi 2 and 3
- Raspbery Pi 4
The rest of the platforms will be updated during the following weeks.
As usual, you can update by downloading the new images from the website or by going in the Online Updater directly in your Lakka box.
Lakka supports more than 40 different platforms, and it has gotten quite hard to maintain and support them all actively. Some of them are discontinued products, and nobody on the team has them anymore.
As a result, we have decided to split all platforms into different tiers. Basically, higher tier platforms will have active support and more frequent updates, and lower tier platforms will have more sparse releases (if any).
The high tier platforms are the most popular ones:
- 64-bit Generic (
x86_64) - Rasperry Pi 1 and Zero (with and without GPICase)
- Raspberry Pi 2 and 3
- Raspbery Pi 4
For now, all other platforms are placed under the lower tier category. We may do a middle tier in the future, with platforms such as Pine64 and Odroid boards, which are still quite popular nonetheless.
Keep an eye for new tier releases on this website and on our social media accounts!
It's been a long time since Lakka got a RetroArch update. This new version adds some welcome features - the most interesting this time is the manual content scanner. You read it right, no more database is required to build your playlists!
Whether it's because the database is missing or your platform has little memory to handle big scans, you now have the choice to do a manual scan to build playlists on your Lakka box. This new scanning method simply takes all files ending with a known extension in a folder and adds them to the playlist for that system. It's as simple as it gets!
You can see the manual content scanner menu in the thumbnail of this article (MaterialUI menu driver).
Another quality of life improvement for playlists is the new 'clean playlists' option. This allows you to clean your playlists after removing your games files, as well as resetting core association if the core doesn't exist anymore.
This new option does the following:
- Remove all entries where the game file has been removed
- Remove all duplicates
- Resets the core association if the core can no longer be found
- RetroArch will ask you which core to use the next time you try to run a game from that playlist
- If the core association is correct but the core has been renamed since, the new core name is updated in the playlist
Cores can be removed when updating Lakka, even if we try to do it least frequently as possible. For instance, Lakka 2.3 removed a lot of old cores in favor of their new, improved versions.
Thanks to this new clean playlists feature, removing a core is no longer considered a breaking change when updating Lakka.
The latest major improvement is the disk control overhaul, which enhances disk swapping for game with a high number of disks (such as Amiga floppy games).
You can read the entirety of the changes made to the disk swapping system in the RetroArch 1.8.4 blog post.
As usual, everything in the libretro ecosystem has been updated to the very last version: cores, databases, overlays, joypad autoconfigs…
New core: quicknes
This very lightweight Nintendo Entertainment System was only enabled for some platforms on Lakka. It is now enabled for all of them.
New cores: vitaquake2 and vitaquake3
Retroarch For Raspberry Pi 4 Review
Only available for the Generic platform for now, those two cores are open source reimplementations of the Quake II and III engines respectively. Originally written for the PlayStation Vita by Rinnegatamante, both homebrews are now available for everyone as libretro cores.
New core: NeoCD
The latest core to be added in this Lakka update is NeoCD-Libretro, an improved version of the NeoCD Neo Geo CD emulator. This new version of NeoCD is more accurate and performs better than the previous standalone emulator, even on low end hardware like a Raspberry Pi.
Goodbye dosbox, hello dosbox-svn
And finally, the old dosbox core retires with Lakka 2.3.2. The newer dosbox-svn core was added some time ago, and it's time for it to be used as a default and for the old one to be removed.
As time goes by, we are slowly moving forward to Lakka 3.0, which we already talked about in a previous release article. We will take this opportunity to drop all the old platforms we cannot maintain and support anymore. Lakka 2.0 will still be available for those, but we won't be moving forward with them for the future.
The list of all dropped platforms will be made available when we release Lakka 3.0.

In the meantime, you can already try Lakka 3.0 by downloading an image for your device here! Since this is a major rewrite of the system, we would like to have user feedbacks as we work on it. Don't hesitate to post an issue on our GitHub repository.
