After over a year since the last version, and having been teased since March, comes the latest update for RetroPie. The newest release brings RetroPie up to version 4.5, and adds a whole host of changes. Before you ask, no, this build does not offer support for the just-released Raspberry Pi 4, though the development team is currently working to fix that. Some of the notable fixes and changes include updating RetroArch to v1.7.6, offering better Bluetooth support for those that use the DualShock 3, adding moonlight game streaming as an experimental module, and more, which can all be seen below in the official changelog.
