Raspberry Pi 4 The Absolute Beginner!

Oh my days, 2x speed and still too slow

I love no nonsense straight to the point videos like this. No corny jokes, all solid, helpful information. Thank you sir.

My fan isn't working and i put it in axactley how you did. Am i missing something?

big help dude

The instructions say do not connect with a computer?

Thank you so much for covering these for luddites like me who trades are replaced.😂

Perfect video. for the newb that I am. Many thanks

I recently bought my first Pi4 8GB model from Amazon(just over a month ago) and I am loving it! Had a few mishaps along the way. But I am having a whole lot of fun. I am daily driving it and find it is easy and intuitive to use.

I soooo love programming the crap out of my Rasp Pi 4. Python is what I use.
Great video.

Thanks for this 🎉just getting started on this, don't even have one yet. Thx

Did you actually compute 83 percent?😐😯

Awesome dude. Liked, subscribed.

I know this video is a bit old but I have heard about pi due to being in amateur radio so I fired I’d jump. I’m waiting for the raspberry pi 4 series B with 8gb. Glad I found your video. I’m not very technical at all but I feel comfortable with the information here. Thanks!

OVERCLOCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this will not operate without an external graphic source? or it will but you cant see it? I know it makes little sense to ask when in front of the WWW but its a bit of chat I guess. Spose i wondered what this capture card was you refer. Now I looked it up. Came here after seeing one of these were on sale for 49.5 and was sold out!

great video tutorial for setting up the device for beginners! thanks-a-billion. so easy to follow and the production quality is mostly great. well done and keep em coming 🙂

Thank you for your video, it gave me the motivation to buy my first raspberry pi and start my first project.

well thank you. every other video iv seen trying to explain how to get started has confused the hell out of me enough to not buy one. iv just paid for one on ebay. this video is so easily understood and i cant wait to get started. thanks again!!

which app do you use to record the screen on the laptop?

I always call it sudo as in Judo ... but I suppose you could argue pseudo for being 'like' a super user. That was good fun :-)

I did everything here with the same kit you have. All I get is a red blinking light on the power switch and nothing is displayed on my monitor. Any ideas??

The Raspberry Pi 8 and my opinion after 3 weeks working with it and crashing it so many time I have lost count. Why because there are so many opinions out there I wanted to use it full time first to see if it can indeed be used on a daily bases and second which distro really is best for stability, over heating, and finally over clocking. Storage Samsung T5 125g, quality on the Pi is important.
(1) The Pi can certainly be used as a daily driver of course without gaming included. My big test was I watch T,V, on my mini computer that I built so can you watch movies and television on this yes a little slow on booting the program in some cases but once up and running no problems.
(2) Over heating will occur if you are not using at least heat sinks in my case I opted for a cooler which works great. Bare bones heating hit as high as 70-80 Degrees way to high, Heat sinks much better 60-70 degrees, and a cooler 40-50 degrees all under stress.
(3) Distros I have tried them all the 2 best are Twister and Raspian both very stable and quick.
(4) Finally over clocking. My opinion do not over clock if you are not using a cooler, the heat and stress on the CPU is just not worth it because it will cause throttling, and you will get video tearing. I have tried all levels of over clocking and in my case from the max of Over_voltage=8, Arm_freq=2140, GPU-freq=700, I find the best setup is really gpu_mem=512, gpu_freq=600 and over_voltage=6, very stable, heat and tearing controlled.
Take my opinion for what it’s worth have fun with the Pi it’s great to work with.

Is the OS installation in this version easier? I'd seen other installations that look more complicated. Complete rookie here. Thanks for your guidance.

THANKS! Your video was perfect timing for me.

I removed some non-working roms from my flash drive, but those same roms remain in my Raspberry Pi 4 device. They're still there even after I restart Emulation Station. Why is this? How can I remedy this?

Are there any differences between the 2gb and the 8gb if i use it as a router?

What does "over-clocking" Raspberry Pi 4 mean? 🤔

What's the best way to turn off the Raspberry Pi 4 after you're done playing it? Should I shut it down through the emulator/RetroPie internally or just flip the power switch on the power cord adapter manually?

So, I'm very new to this whole Raspberry Pi & RetroPie thing. I am not very knowledgeable about it at all. Recently, I purchased the LABISTS Raspberry Pi 4 4GB Complete Starter PRO Kit with 32GB Micro SD Card (4GB RAM). I was finally able to get it set up and I was able to play a few games on it last night (5/26/21). The main reason why I decided to go with a Raspberry Pi was because I'm a child of the 80s and 90s. I wanted to have a system that let me play retro video games such as arcade games and console games (Genesis & SNES) from that time period. The problem I've run into now is that some of the roms work fine and others don't. I can't figure out why this is happening. I have heard that arcade roms use MAME, etc . . . Some of the arcade and 16-bit console roms are working, but other ones are not. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix this latest issue that I'm facing? Thanks.

Do the heatsinks come with some sort of adhesive? Tape, or thermal paste?

But for absolutely beginners, it's too advanced. And I am not an absolute beginner.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

Welcome to raspberry doesn’t show for me, it goes straight to Home Screen

Thank you for making this video very informative for a very much newbie

🥳Just received my Ras. Pi4 today!
I opted for the 8GB RAM, 128GB Memory Version.
Absolutely Thrilled!
I have been reading and reviewing this for a few months.
Finally have one!
I watched the video first, now my next move is to get an ESD Setup for Installation.
Some that are familiar may think it is obvious, but NOOBS (newbs) may think it is okay to handle/install the PCB without ESD precautions.
What do you think?
And Thanks for the Review @LowDoughTech

I started it up and my refresh rate is really low. Do u know how to increase it to 60FPS?

Hmm, looks like it's more powerful than Switch LOL, and cheaper too!

Very nice presentation. Can you use arduino on this platform?

Just heard of it on another video. Still dont know what it is. Edit just started this video

Again and again for many years I tried and tried to use Linux as my primary Desktop but I always find myself troubleshooting a lot of stuff than do actual work. I spend my time trying to make it work but it fails me miserably. I bought an rPi 4 4GB to gave Linux another chance but I get the same disappointment feeling. Linux as desktop cannot just keep up with most of users needs. I have almost 20 years as Linux Server Admin experience and I get frustrated every time I switch to Linux as my Desktop.

Thank you, great guide!
1. What's the screen resolution as displayed here?
2. And are there other resolutions available depending on your monitor?

I love my Pi 4 for retro gaming. Batocera is my preferred installation, especially for SNES and Genesis/MegaDrive emulation.

Great video! I've always wanted to get involved with raspberry but never took the leap. Thanks for posting this you've given me the inspiration to do so soon!

fair play mate you're producing some good useful shit recently! 👍🏻 keep it up

In what ways can I use raspberry pi for (white hat) hacking? It is a hobby of mine and was wondering if the raspberry has anything that could help in that nature. Thank you in advance.
