I'm starting my testing with the basic image for the pi5 that was made, link below.
then i will test it with the Vulkan image

and then i will double check them on the Pi4

LEGEND

= does not install on pi4 or pi5

= installs/works on both

[4] = installs, plays On Pi4 only

[5] - Pi5 only
if there is any of these after the check box, it means

[B] = installs/works, For the pi5
On basic Unofficial image

[V] = installs/works, for the pi5
On Vulkan Unofficial image

Emulators [5] [B] - aethersx2 -PS2 emulator [4] - box86 -Box86 emulator [4]- duckstation - PlayStation emulator - Duckstation standalone [4] - flycast -Sega Dreamcast emulator - gearboy - Gameboy emulator - kat5200 - Atari 8-bit/5200 emulator - x86 only [4] - openbor - Beat 'em Up Game Engine [5] [B] - openbor-v7533 - Beat 'em Up Game Engine - pico8 - Fantasy Game Emulator - Adds as a new system in RetroPie so you can directly launch carts. [5] [B] - pokemini - Pokemon Mini emulator - x86 only [4] - ppsspp-dev - PlayStation Portable emulator PPSSPP - latest development version - supermodel-mechafatnick - Sega Model 3 Arcade emulator - supermodel-svn - Sega Model 3 Arcade emulator

NOTE
Now when you exit aethersx2 it will delete the vulkan_shaders automatically. Thanks to @TPR for figuring this out

for supermodel-mechafatnick, you need to install it twice. It will fail the first time, but then work correctly the second time. Have not figured out WTH is with that

In the settings, V3D for "graphics device" doesn't work for me. I used the other option

So like, I can put diesel in my snowmobile? - Not sure I'd do that, but sure.

What means "adapter that works with anything"? What means? Going to guess you mean, "what does this mean?" The point was the adapter support just about every wired controller. Here is a active list.

Can I fry chips in leftover cereal milk?
Pretty sure you can't, milk has the same boiling point as water. Best to stick with oil.

Is this an ad? I guess, Just spreading the new for those interested.

@retropieuser555 said in [Tutorial] Installing Munt (MT-32 emulation) on RPi 3:

c++: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mfpu=neon-fp-armv8’
c++: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mfloat-abi=hard’

Are you on a 64bit system ? The flags above are not supported on aarch64 - remove them from the C/CXX-FLAGS.

Thank you all for the feedback, I'll probably go with a Pi 4 and retropie.

@mitu well I installed Steam through pi-apps, and I believe it installs box64 with Steam but when I was testing my theory I installed it for good measure together with wine and box86. Shotgun approach and all that, and I need wine for OpenBor and Mugen games.

But what initally happened was that if I installed Steam after RetroPie, Steam wouldn't finish the last installation step, when it asks to install a bunch of dependencies and then fails. So when I install Steam before Retropie, comment out the contents of sdl1.sh, sdl2.sh, and sdl12-compat.sh, (making sure all dependencies are met) and install RetroPie, it seems to use the system's sdl libraries to build things. So far everything's working as expected. Yeah, I see what you mean about using a translation layer. I'm ok with that. I can play TMNT Shredder's Revenge and a few others just fine.

Yeah, had no issues with Steamlink. Installed it and it worked right out of the box which is nice to have for games unwilling to run locally!

@dult-np ok I actually managed to compile but no rom would go past a black screen unfortunately. I guess we'll still have to stick to AetherSX2

Game crashes when i try to change bindings, any fixes? I have the newer version of xash3d installed

@ExarKunIv thanks. Will look into these unofficial ones you mentioned

@TPR said in Calling Pi 4 Atari Jaguar Fans:

Just messing around with lr-vjag last night and it does appear that some games are running amazing! One question... I noticed that Tempest will throw odd glitches here and there...

No glitch on my side with lr-vjag. I'm running tempst2k.zip (from MAME Romset) with the default settings and Vulkan

@lesk said in Making a custom game that randomise NES games to play?:

My question... Is it possible to do a similar thing for retropie?

Not without creating a new game, which is what Nintendo did.

I am not sure what to suggest, a Pi4 with 2GB would have been my answer in pre Pi5 times... and still, the Pi4 runs an official image, but the pi5 ain't such a newcomer nowadays and the official image is still based on (IIRC) buster and since then, even before the Pi5 was released, the discussions where about when there will be a "bullseye" image and whether it will be 64bit/32bit or still in support of 32bit ... sigh...

So the official image is missing debian 11, the 64 vs. and or 32 bit problematic still unsolved and now with the pi5 we are over the edge to 64bit and on bookworm as the current debian/raspi OS base...

I would say, it depends... if you want to play straight ahead and use the existing image, go for a pi4 with whatever mem you may need to reuse it after upgrading retropie to a newer device (for retropie on a RP4 2GB is IMHO more then enough, if you want to use it as a terraria or minecraft server afterwards, at least 4GB better 8 would be the way to go).

But if you are totally new to raspis and retropie... well, bad timing, if you simply can afford it, go for the above mentioned route of the pi4 and learn some *nix basics ... but be assured that all you learn for the nowadays official buster based image is void for the next official one, because too much on the underlying OS was changed (just to add a match of buzzword: config.txt vs. cmdline.txt) - if you are willing to experiment and learn on raspberry pi/*nix in general in the meantime, go for a pi5 with the memory you can afford!

Here is another suggestion to help speed up AetherSX2 that I discovered today:

@mitu

Sorry just realised I pasted the wrong filename. It should be
Armbian_24.8.1_Orangepi5_noble_current_6.10.6_gnome-kisak_desktop.img.xz
(updated above.)

Basically the 6.10 kernel, Ubuntu based, Gnome I think it was. And has mesa pre-installed.
The Mesa is from some forked repo but seems to work. Not sure why they use that. Mesa needs to be of a certain version for Panthor, don't remember exactly which.

Iv'e added some more notes on the youtube info box.
For example,

You'll still need to add to your,
~/.config/dolphin-emu/GFX.ini
a line
PreferGLES = True

and

If you get an error when trying to run a game try first running in the term,
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=""
to revert the environment to xwayland. (or something like that)

Alternatively use the -nogui version. That doesn't complain about wayland in qt6.

Ahh.. regarding Audio. I got audio in my desk speakers by running a dongle I use for my sons headphones. It plugs into USB and gives me a 3.5mm jack I can plug into the desk speakers. Don't test using the Ubuntu Settings->Audio 'Test' thingy as that seemed broken.
I also got sound by plugging the headphones into the jack of my PS5 controller and using that to play with. But something was a bit janky with glitchy on/off input for some reason so I ended up swapping to an xbox controller I had.
