Subj : RetroPie for Raspberry Pi 4 now working!

So I have this project that had recently taken a back burner because RetroPie wasn't working for the newest Raspberry Pi 4 machine>>> But they recently released a new version that seems to work pretty well with RPi4!
So, I'm currently firing up an image of RetroPie and going to pop it into the RPi4... I have some of my own ROMs to start with, but I wonder if anyone knows of any good collections of software>>> Currently I hear that the voltermort 65GIG collection is very detailed, however they only release it as an image with support (RetroPie version) for the RPi3 and below... :(
Anywho, anyone know of a collection of just ROMs and support files (descriptions of games, preview images or videos, etc)?
What I'm going to end up with is pretty cool IMO. I have an old Apple G4 basketball-style computer... and try as I might to get any 2020 workable system on that old G4 hardware, it seems like its come to the end of its life-cycle. I *love* the looks of this machine, tho - and think its monitor which is mounted on a beautiful chrome arm is just awesome... and, would work PERFECTLY for a small 8-bit (and more, I think I can get PS1 and PSP and even some Dreamcast) emulation machine... So, I'm working on getting the original LCD hardwired into my RPi4 - which is a task, or worst case I'll just pop a new LCD in there and that will be simple to connect.
Woot woot; happy that I can move on this project again.
