      @windg I did try it, but could only get it working on the desktop environment for now. I wondered about some roundabout solution using wayfire configs to load dolphin then close it when it's done, but that seems silly to do when ultimately someone will fix the underlaying video output problem?

      @mitu I got dosbox-staging working btw, it needs the core option set to auto from dynamic here inside /home/pi/.dosbox/dosbox-staging.conf

      [cpu]
      #      core: CPU Core used in emulation. auto will switch to dynamic if available and
      #            appropriate.
      #            Possible values: auto, dynamic, normal, simple.
      
      core = auto
      cputype   = auto
      cycles    = auto
      cycleup   = 10
      cycledown = 20
      

      I did only test Championship Manager 93 though, so I can't vouch for what games will and won't work

        @windg I was wondering if there was a way I could help test Retropie on the Raspberry Pi 5? I don't have a lot of Retropie programming experience, but I am a programmer. I can work my way through problems if I have enough information to get a handle on things. I should also receive my Raspberry pi 5 in the mail soon.

          @mbrennock If you like to test RetroPie with Pi5 you have to do a a manual install on top of Bookworm Lite : https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/ . Then you can report here the issues or in the github page, and if you have the knowledge to help developers to fix them.

          My English isn't at a good level.

              Yes. But there's no 'dev' version of RetroPie, just the regular one. Read on the rest of the topic to see what configuration are needed on the Pi5.

              NOTE: Support for the Pi5 is a work in progress, so some things will not work or be broken - don't expect them to be fixed immediately. Also, unless you have Linux or some prior RetroPie experience, I'd recommend to wait until something stable/more polished comes up.

                Can I download Retropie 4.8 image for the pi 4 from the GitHub and use that and also emulation station keeps on crashing when I load it up and I think its because of the amount of ram available to my GPU how do I fix this.

                Thanks in Advance for your help

                  @pi5gamer No, that won't work. The Pi5 needs a newer OS and kernel/firmware which are not included in our images (Pi4 or not).

                  You need to install the latest RasPi OS Lite (bookworm) first and then install RetroPie manually on-top of it. As I said, if you're not familiar with Linux and haven't worked with RetroPie before, then it's better to wait for an actual release.

                    The only minor issue I encountered (manual install on top of Lite) is an error installing Kodi from packages:

                    Sorry, but kodi is not installable for your OS/Platform via RetroPie-Setup
                    

                    apt install kodi worked.

                    Should I open a GitHub issue?

                      No, it's a known issue with kodi and RaspiOS Bookworm. Has been reported to the RaspiOS folks. Also, Pi5/Bookwom support is preliminary, so there's no use to open issues for it.

                        Has anyone seen a query on raspberry pi forums, bookworm or dolphin GitHub why you can load Dolphin, AetherSX2 via GUI but not while in terminal/CLI and you get that QT5 error above?

                        It seems odd and I'm not quite sure where the issue is, as it occurs on Ubuntu 23.10 & raspberry Pi OS Bookworm. So it doesn't seem a problem specific to the OS? Or it's purely hardware (pi or arm64) specific? As it seems to occur on pi4 using bookworm as well

                        edit: managed to get it almost load turning on X11 and using startx

                          Without have the knowledge, maybe the package for qt5 or qt6 is missing (qtbase5-dev). I haven't check this emulators yet, so the above is just a guess .

                            Because they need a desktop env to run ? Not all application can run outside a desktop environment (dolphin for sure does not).

                              It's look similar then with the duckstation standalone when the dev droped the no-gui option.

                                Okay I've got it figured out,

                                startx /opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu-nogui -e /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/<rom name>
                                

                                This works happily from Terminal/CLI. It doesn't need a desktop environment, just a window to be opened (and x org installed etc). I also fixed the tiny window issue by using this fix below, which you'd need to use for your particular display and then rebuild dolphin, I've only tested it on a 1080p display though.

                                https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-small-fullscreen-on-linux

                                So now adding startx to the emulators.cfg won't work as startx in the runcommand.sh will always turn that into xinit, but xinit doesn't work from the command line for me.

                                Anyone had any success getting xinit to run from command line? If we can get that working this will load fine, I'm already playing with genuine wiimotes using my dolphinbar, which is all kinds of awesome on a Pi 5 RetroPie setup.

                                  Yes, but I had to remove xorg-server-legacy xserver-xorg-legacy first, seems that on Bullseye is buggy and prevents xinit from properly starting.

                                      @mitu So apparently I don't have that installed so that's not the issue, I'll put up a proper error log in a bit:-

                                        For Wayland there's no similar mechanism in RetroPie like XINIT to instruct runcommand to start the emulator in an Xorg sesion. For Dolphin in particular, there's no native Wayland support so it would run under XWayland and use the x11 API anyway, so there's no benefit in running it under Wayland.

                                          @retropieuser555 without knowing the command that started this, the error log is not much help. Regardless, I'll add at some point support for dolphin to be run directly from EmulationStation, you can wait until then to test again.
