      @windg said in Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement:

      So, to gather some information so far, if someone wants to test RetroRie (experimental) with the RPi5, they need to add :

      • For Bookworm Lite 64 bit

      To the config.txt file

      kernel=kernel8.img
      overscan_scale=1
      

      How would I go about adding this? I tried doing it via Cyberduck SSH, but when I try and copy it back, I get a permission denied error.

      Edit - Managed it via terminal using sudo.

        @StuMcBill To ssh, you need to enable root, set a password for it, and then login as that. The RetroPie docs go in detail.

        You can also put the card/stick in your computer and edit it that way.

          Ok, so I have this up and running, however I have a couple of questions.

          1. When I boot up, I am not getting a splash screen I get an error saying "splashscreen is not available for your system (rpi5)" - presume this would be a known issue which will get fixed in a future update.

          2. When the system boots, it defaults to RetroPie Settings - Splash Screens - can I make it default to Arcade?

          3. I'm getting these errors also
            WARNING: v3d support for hw version 71 is neither a complete nor a conformant OpenGL implementation. Testing use only.

            @StuMcBill splashscreens, they don't work on 64 bit as they're run on a process that doesn't exist outside 32bit.

            Probably there will be a replacement like VLC, but the pi5 boot is like 5 seconds lol not sure I'd wanna elongate the bootup personally.

            Don't think you can force Emulationstation to pick arcade first, it should just do it. Maybe remove splashscreens if they're not working anyway?

            How are the temperatures-CPU usage with Saturn and GameCube games ?

            So I left the temperature check on in terminal SSH while playing, I couldn't get it into the 60s. I have the active cooler. I didn't check if the fan kicked in, I didn't hear it if it did.

            This was testing Naomi 2 games and the pi really struggling with that framerate wise

            Edit: Flycast has a fix now so building it from master it should run fine without the kernel changeover

              Yes, it's a known issue for Bullseye and later systems. There's a replacement in the works, but due to the way the GPU drivers work it won't be of much use.

              When the system boots, it defaults to RetroPie Settings - Splash Screens - can I make it default to Arcade?

              You can choose the start-up system in EmulationStation menu options.

              I'm getting these errors also
              WARNING: v3d support for hw version 71 is neither a complete nor a conformant OpenGL implementation. Testing use only.

              It's a warning, not an error, and it's ok.

              Nov 09 21:41:41 lvl0: VolumeControl::init() - Failed to find mixer elements!

              You need to configure the audio from the RetroPie menus and choose the HDMI port you have connected. Make sure you have an up-to-date RetroPie-Setup, there was an issue with the Audio settings script and it didn't properly detect the Pi5.

                Thanks for the replies guys.

                I have Arcade set as my startup system in emulationstation, but it still loads on settings / splash screens? Weird.

                  Open a separate topic for this. Add your ES configuration file (from $HOME/.emulationstation/es_setting.cfg) and a log file (from $HOME/.emulationstation/es_log.txt).

                      I've tried a little the new Pi. First a big thanks to the developers, RetroPie works very well in its current state, and we are still in the beginning.
                      The official case is very good, a bit expensive, the fan does a good job and doesn't let the Pi get strangled. The highest temperature I saw was 75 celcious during the building process, the noise is not annoying like in the official Pi4 fan. During the game I never went above 60 celcious.

                      I have tried some games and emulators that didn't run very well before:

                      lr-ppsspp:
                      Grand Theft Auto: Liberty city
                      Silent Hill Shattered Memories,
                      Are running ok most of time without frameskip.

                      lr-dolphin:
                      Resident Evil Remake
                      Super Mario Sunshine
                      Legend Of Zelda -The Wind Waker,
                      Paper Mario
                      running ok most off the time with default emulator settings

                      lr-desmume:
                      Dragon Quest IV
                      running ok

                      lr-beetle-psx:
                      Gran Turismo 2
                      Bloody Roar II
                      running ok

                      lr-beetle-saturn:
                      Sonic Jam
                      Deep Fear
                      Panzer Dragoon Saga
                      running ok .

                      I am using 720p resolution, Bookworm Lite 64bit

                      My English isn't at a good level.

                        @windg keep up the good work. Unsure if there's a functional PS2 emulator on Retropie you can test but if you could take a look at some point and get back to us :)

                          @windg this all sounds bout the same as I've found so far, great job!

                          what controller do you use? Still finding this weird lr-dolphin controller works in retroarch with hotkeys such as exit, menu toggles but can't for the life of me get it to respond to the game.

                            @retropieuser555 I have a Logitech F310. I saw your message about Wind Waker, is running full speed, at least in the first stage in the beach .

                              Other things you could never do on the pi 4 but I'm trying to stress the pi 5 a bit. Streaming to twitch directly from retroarch. Try lr-snes as an example, I didn't play around with the retroarch cfg except used the default one they suggest but it recorded a reasonable non choppy video

                              Edit:- Also messing with ubuntu on pi 5 and building RetroPie on top of that managed to get AetherSX2 working and playing.

                              excuse my gorilla style photography

                              Wouldn't recommend it though, Emulationstation opens with the desktop turned on, so it's super choppy and Retroarch struggles with that. Weirdly doesn't seem to effect Dolphin and PS2 standalone emulators.

                                Does anyone know how to install a ps2 emulator via terminal to use within retropie?
                                thanks

                                  @mitu No worries, I thought it might be a simple script fix.

                                  I've added a patch for the gamecondriver so that it doesn't install the wrong kernel headers. You may try to update and re-install the driver, but you first should remove the raspberrypi-kernel-headers package and then re-install the linux-headers-rpi-XYZ packages you have installed (there may a couple of them).

                                    @mitu No change. The log is the same as well.

                                    On a side note, I heard Batocera has a ps2 emulator in their pi5 build so I installed it to see which one it was. It has two versions of Play!. The standalone version and the libretro version. I couldn't get the libretro version to work, but the standalone worked and it was very slow. Maybe the standalone can be added in the future?

                                    Also, Batocera has a different ES, and it has a better grid theme. Will RetroPie be updated to that someday or are the branches just too different? RetroPie's ES can't do this (I also want to stop using the Pegasus frontend. It's just a hassle to make it work properly):alt text

                                      Not sure, how does it compare to pcsx2 ?

                                      If someone adds the changes from @f-caruso's fork (which Batocera uses under the hood), then yes.

                                        @mitu I've never used Play! until now to have an opinion but it might be the only option right now? I don't know if pcsx2 has an arm64 port, but it does have an apple m1 arm port. I tried it on my m1 and Aethersx2 was much better and less buggy. I assume Aethersx2 can't be altered for a non-desktop environment if the Batocera devs decided to use Play! instead.

                                            @Darksavior did you use the nightly of PCSX2 on your Mac? For me its better than AetherSX2 (Lego Star wars for example has weird lighting glitches I found). Also PCSX2 is in development and open source so it will eventually be our better bet I imagine as there's no editing AetherSX2 (which was a fork of PCSX2 anyway?)
