Dont get excited – its not quite ready yet, there is still no official Retropie on the Raspbery Pi 4 yet, HOWEVER, there are a few people who have compiled their own versions – remember – we are not just waiting for the main Retropie forked for rpi4 but also some of the emulators (especially the ones that are gonna run that better shit – Dreamcast, N64 etc….).
So with other gaming operating front ends getting ahead (still no Recalbox) such as Lakka we can only check out these unofficial builds such as:-
The first Pi 4 Base from Crash
There were lots of reports it never worked, a few saying it ran sweet! But the majority was a big No no… More info HERE
808 RETROS PI 4 BASE IMAGE
You’ll find this in our PI 4 IMAGE DOWNLOADS PAGE named “[8gb]-Retropie.for.PI4.Unofficial.inc.BIOS.NO.ROMS-808RETRO” – its a base image from 808 Retro, loaded with some handy tools, including bezel project and a ton of emulators (and bioses!). Its very simple to get running but you will need a keyboard and mouse. Turn it on and it starts on the Raspbian Buster Desktop. Open up a terminal from the top tool bar and type in emulationstation. It then starts and goes full screen and asks for controller input. That’s it your up and running.

This can also be found below in the DOWNLOADS the title is “[6gb]-Moka.RPI4.Beta.3.1-Monka”
BUT DONT GIVE UP YET….
The Retropie team are, without a doubt, just awesome people, however they have no super human capabilities and from what we gather Raspberry Pi did not send them any new Pi 4 single board computers on, or prior to release, thus as there is a global shortage (certainly of the larger memory 4gb versions) the chances are the guys have yet to even lay their hands on them, those people looking at their 4gb Pi 4 SBCs should consider themselves lucky that they are first in line when something official does drop… Until then, You’ll live!
