Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement

@mitu Does that include installations with third party apps like Etcher, or pre-built images from the usual suspects?

I wouldn't have thought that emulation made up, say, 70% of their sales -- but I'd be quite surprised to hear it was less than 10%.

Of course not, those are RPI Imager stats only.

@mitu I was one of the people who got Pi 5 Hardware in advance - i dont have a great need for it, so would be happy to send it to the developers of retropie if it would help get the upgrade moving.
I was only going to use it to make a retro console anyway..

Dreamcast and PSP Emulation test at 9:59. I long since sold my Pi 4. How does this compare with an overclocked Pi 4?

[dodonpachi]

@George-Spiggott Dreamcast was okay on 4, so I don't see too big of a difference. PSP, however, is significantly better. Tekken runs much smoother than before.

@windg This was the first thing I thought of as well, and I am super excited at the prospect of that!

[hawkes_84]

@windg at this point I just want to play some ps2 ditties that I never got to play. Metal Gear Solid 2&3. Need to finish Silent Hill 3 and 4. Some Wii games would be good too. I'm guessing Nintendo 3DS is out the question?

[Addison]

Heya.

Where can I pre-ordered one today?

https://www.raspberrypi.com/resellers/

Not seeing the Pi 5 in those as of yet.

I live in the US.

[windg]

i still haven't tried the games i wanted to play after the release of the Pi4 :p

[windg]

@Addison Did you try to search for a aproved reseller by region ? It give me a lot of choises for the USA.

[Addison]

@windg

I clicked on a few stores but only saw the Pi 4 available.

Didn't go through each and every one of them though.

I'll look again.

[Addison]

Ooh.

Finally found one available after the 11th store attempt.

8GB

I pre-ordered two 8s and it gave me free shipping. :)

[quicksilver]

@Addison I was able to preorder mine through Vilros.com. I even found a discount code online for use with Vilros that saved me $8.

[ByteThis]

@quicksilver Now they are sold out on Vilros..lol

[Addison]

@quicksilver

Must have been late to that party since they showed they were all sold out at the time.

Glad you scored one though. :)

Edit:

What ByteThis said. :P

[retropieuser555]

Doesn't help for US orders but I pre-ordered from pimoroni.

So the next PI OS is built on Debian Bookworm? I guess it may also become the OS version that is usable on the pi4 as well eventually? Or it's inevitable that the pi4 will stick on buster and when there's a new Retropie build for pi5 on a while that will be on the new bookworm based OS?

Just as with previous releases for RaspiOS/Raspbian, the Bookworm release will support all Pi models. It's been in beta testing for a while and, when released, will support every Pi model.

Or it's inevitable that the pi4 will stick on buster and when there's a new Retropie build for pi5 on a while that will be on the new bookworm based OS?

No, I don't think so. We try to use the same OS release for all Pi models.

[Addison]

While waiting for a month, can I early buy this casing for the upcoming 5?

I have that both for my current 4s and it's really quite nice.

It's the best case design in my opinion.

Linky for that purchase:

[windg]

@Addison It's only compatible with RPi4. RPi5 and RPi4 boards have differences.

They're not compatible. The Pi5 has the LAN port on the left, just like on PI3, has no analog jack output and the extra power button will not be available with a Pi4 case. Read the announcement for more details.
