Thank You for all the work that has gone into this.

Could you make some statements with regards to recommendend hardware, such as:
-Would it also run on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+?
-What's the optimal choice for RAM on a Raspberry Pi 4 B?

Thanks, Tibor

Pi4, CM4, rpi400 and 4Gb recommended

I haven’t tried pi3b+. It might work.
Graphics will be slower.

Thanks
