You can add a different controller at any time if you change your mind. If you don’t care about playing N64 or Dreamcast, then the SNES style controllers will work fine for most emulators. Should I get an SNES style controller or an Analog controller? Answer: Both work, it depends on the type of games you want to play.You can use the following command to check the version of the firmware that your Pi is currently running if you want to check (from a shell/SSH): sudo rpi-eeprom-update Does RetroPie update the firmware on the Raspberry Pi 4 automatically? If not, how do I update it? Answer: Yes, the underlying OS (PiOS formerly known as Raspian) will update the firmware on the Raspberry Pi 4 automatically.If you want to install a lot of PS1, Dreamcast, PSP or CD/DVD-based games then I would recommend 256GB– 512GB microSD cards or perhaps even an SSD. microSD cards are pretty cheap these days, my recommendation for most would be a 64GB– 128GB microSD card.
