@danturn said in < 30 FPS, Can't get games running smoothly on Raspberry pi 5 (Rodland, Gods, New Zealand story):

@RapidEdwin08 ok thanks, i might check this out... did you change due to issues with amiberry?

Yes actually, and I was only playing SuperOffRoad and Lemmings...

I found an older Binary I built on RPi5 Bookworm back in December.
Maybe give this a try and see if the results are better than what you're getting now...

Amiberry v5.7.2 202412

pkg_origin="source" pkg_date="2024-08-05T16:57:07-04:00" pkg_repo_type="git" pkg_repo_url="https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry" pkg_repo_branch="v5.7.2" pkg_repo_commit="d4418a16827d0edd619874405d990725b908b82a" pkg_repo_date="2024-06-06T16:22:44+02:00" pkg_repo_extra=""

Just replace the files as needed and make the binary/sh executable (chmod 755).
I have not gone back and tried this binary myself, but curious what your results are if you do.

Here's an older Module script for v5.6.6 too if you want to try (don't forget the amiberry/*.diffs)
RetroPie 4.8.6 Amiberry v5.6.6 Setup Script

Edit: To be clear I've been using [video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60D] in my cmdline.txt since day 1 on RPi5

@Lolonois said in usb boot from 5tb hdd:

@korn16ftl3 Looks correct, except you are missing one hex-number in the product ID (should be :25ee and not :5ee).

The quiet parameter is double but it does not have an impact: The kernel parameters are parsed left to right and the last one wins, if there are two identical parameters.

My new question is since we are playing with the cmdline.txt, what are the other parameters that are there?

The kernel parameters are documented in the kernel documentation, in the raspberry pi documentation, and the kernel parameter of plymouth and info about plymouth itself are documented for example in the Arch wiki,

i made the previously mentioned changes to the cmdline.txt and am getting the same error readouts.

im starting to think/wonder if the GPT portion of thi is what is causing some of my problems as retropie its self if i understand correctly was written for MBR and everything boots just fine in MBR and GPT when everything is <2tb the second i convert the GPT partition manually (before initial retropie boot and partition resize) everything ceases toi load/boot.

im going to remove the

quiet init=/usr/lib/raspi-config/init_resize.sh

from the cmdline.txt since perhaps it is hanging on attempt to resize a partition that has already been resized for one and for two is GPT and not sure how to handle it.

lets see what that does i suppose.

also debating on wiping everything abd starting over using gparted and specifically raspberry pi os to try to set tis up as well maybe that ii yield different results.

will report back after a little bit of experimenting and a bit more research.

alternatively i have seen some things online that enable UEFI booting ( [https://www.linux.it/~ema/posts/secure-boot-rpi/](link url) , [https://github.com/pftf/RPi4](link url) ) would this be any help with trying to boot from >2TB partitions as UEFI booting supports it? would there be any drawbacks or risks to experimenting with these options?

@Moulinex glad it worked
I'm not sure what was going on with what you where trying.
It possible you missed a step
I haven't used that way since this was made

{Too long and don't wanna read all that}

I have a save file that is zipped by default.

Never seen that before until now.

That error shouldn't have an impact on running a N64 game - can you please post the entire /dev/shm/runcomamnd.log file ?

Do you also get an error if you install the lr-mupen64plus-next N64 emulator and run the game with it ?

It seemed logical to buy a Pi 5 which was already 2 years after its release in 2023. Being a novice to Pi in general, it was quite a struggle but I basically succeeded in getting Jaguar Tempest 2000 to run on my Pi 3, only to find out the Pi 3 is WAY too slow for it. Retropie still isn't a simple install, but once again with a lot more effort Tempest is at least installed, and very smoothly is running through its demo screens so it appears that Pi 5 is fast enough to play it. But controls don't work - more struggle to come. The method of screen rotation is very annoyingly not compatible with previous methods requiring jumping out of Emulationstation to set the rotation for every reboot (wtf where the developers thinking??). Pi 5 also lacks a sound jack requiring consumption of a USB port and the sound isn't working correctly with the adapter. I would say a Pi 5 is a poor option for use with Retropie. I'm sorry I bought it.

It seems that Retropie does not currently handle dual monitors. I am going to try a few different options. Maybe loading the Pi right into Mame, or maybe start an OS with retroarch and load a core.

More to come….

@mitu I don't remember I haven't booted Linux on arcade in a while. Sorry.

@roslof Do you have a folder with "lr-mame" 0.278 for rpi5 64bit that you can share? Thanks

@BlackLord
note : my understanding is that this modified genplus-gx core is breaking some stuff, so it is not recommended to replace the original genplus-gx core by it (which is probably what you did)
