You may require additional software downloads for customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Lakka features pre-installed cores. Visit Lakka&#8217;s webpage to download the operating system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can run this software on varying Raspberry Pi computers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"emulators\">Emulators<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You can download and install all sorts of cores on the RetroPie via the menu, a more convenient and accessible feature than Lakka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilize EmulatorStation to install emulators on RetroPie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> It runs resource-heavy emulators like the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Lakka users cannot add cores or emulators because the platform has them installed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"roms\">ROMs<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>ROMs are essential for playing games on the Raspberry Pi device. You must look up and download the ROMs before moving them into the appropriate folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Each software utilizes the same method to load ROMs onto the system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RetroPie users need to put the ROMs into the appropriate folder on RetroPie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Lakka users need to put the ROMs into the correct folder on Lakka. You can also utilize a USB stick to add ROMs instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"personalizationnbsp\">Personalization <\/h3>\n\n\n<p>RetroPie offers a lot in terms of interface customization. For instance, users can apply a different background and move elements around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, scrapers make it easy to customize thumbnails for any ROM on the system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lakka offers the ability to change the wallpaper as you see fit. In addition, users can change any ROM thumbnail image.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"performance\">Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>With RetroPie, users can add more emulators with some performance loss due to additional resource usage. Plus, it offers customization according to your preferences, which can also slow down the system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lakka excels in performance because it prevents users from adding additional emulators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It runs on cores from RetroArch, so it offers a more lightweight solution and doesn\u2019t take up as many resources.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-retropie-work-better-than-lakka\">Does RetroPie Work Better Than Lakka?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>That depends on what the user wants to get from each software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RetroPie allows you to add more emulators and customize the interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Lakka is lightweight, so it might be more suitable for those who want better performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, it offers more features, including hardware recognition and optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"installing-lakka-on-raspberry-pi-4nbsp\">Installing Lakka on Raspberry Pi 4 <\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/hardwarehow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/6-5.jpg\" alt=\"Lakka offers a simple installation process.\u00a0\" class=\"wp-image-2780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hardwarehow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/6-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/hardwarehow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/6-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hardwarehow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/6-5-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Lakka offers a simple installation process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing Lakka on the Raspberry Pi won&#8217;t take long.
