These are the branches supreme is sharing for testing:

There are no branches in either of the repos you linked, they're just forks or RetroPie's main repo. One of them has merged some of the pending PRs from the RetroPie's repo, but I don't see any AetherSX additions in either of them.

S_Dev88

@mitu Sorry maybe it’s the repo, my English is not the best. When I install RetroPie using there repo the PS2 emulator just works without errors.

All I did was a basic install with there repo and then installed the PS2 Emulator it works! But when I use the official repo the PS2 Emulator doesn’t work. There basic install is adding requirements that the PS2 emulator needs to run correctly it seems. I could ask them as they been pretty nice to me.

This image from that RapidEdwin08 guy says it includes AetherSX2 but I haven't tried it to see if it runs on the desktop or not https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/34904/doom-the-way-pi-did-doom-ready-base-images-for-raspberry-pi-0-5-gpi

@roslof I released a YT video last month describing my experience of Supermodel performance on the Pi5.

Love the video (and gave it a Thumbs Up!)

Tough to tell, since the YouTube video runs at 30fps, but sincerely at 1024x768, game is overall smooth and the graphics much better (obviously). Again, I'm overclocked at 2700 on the CPU which does made a bit of a difference, I pushed it to 2800 and don't see any noticeable improvement.

The same hitches I've seen are seen in your video (where the video freezes for a brief moment) like just before Darth Vader's tie appears for the first time over the Death Star run.

But I can't tell where other slowdown might be from the video. I'll try @DirtBagXon 's version shortly.

I don't understand why the people that can made retropie better they don't contribute, instead they released their own images.

This post is deleted!

Darksavior

@windg Because they want money. That group has a patreon where you can donate for early access.

windg

I was afraid of this. It 's very sad..

Widge

@windg yes it's very sad. They want payment for software that others have developed and made available for free. 😡
Shady is too polite a word for those kinds of people.

S_Dev88

@Darksavior Your so misinformed, you must not do your own research or don’t bother reading what post have been made. They don’t have a patreon like you say they do and have warned people about it and to leave it as it’s a scam!!! They have posted this Multiple times in the group. There is also a fake Retro arena page going around as well doing the same garbage.

Then you say they don’t help? You clearly lost in your own world, take a few minutes and go read there Credits and see all the developers that have been part of the supreme Community and that have pushed updates to the official branch.

Widge

@roslof Thank you. My video should run at 60fps. I also did a video of The Lost World shortly afterwards.
My friend @ChaosEffect asked DirtBagXon about displaying framerate in Supermodel earlier today, and DBX added the feature very quickly. As of today, adding -show-fps to the Supermodel3 command line will add a fps readout to the runcommand log every second or so. But only if you update/install DBX's fork of Supermodel.
You can monitor it in real time if you ssh to your pi's terminal when you run a game and run the command tail -f /dev/shm/runcommand.log then you'll see exactly how well the pi5 handles model 3 games with/without overclock throughout an entire playthrough.
As I said, DBX is constantly updating and improving, and listens to feedback and requests. I have no idea why RetroPie Extras is still using MFN's old fork.

S_Dev88

@Widge It’s not true. They don’t have one and have told people it’s a scam! This is also happing to dev groups like retro arena that made images for the XU4.

You got people pretending to be others causing issues. I would personally join there official groups are websites and messages them directly.

Widge

Thank you @S_Dev88 , I shall look into Supreme further. Perhaps my experiences in the past have been with imposters.

S_Dev88

@Widge I don’t blame you! I was misinformed and then joined the group and got to know them.

@Widge said in Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement:

tail -f /dev/shm/runcommand.log

Running @DirtBagXon 's version and playing Star Wars Trilogy with the -show-fps option works well, but something is different here. At Yavin, when I shoot TIEs, there is a weird raspy sound that plays that isn't playing on @mechafatnick 's version. Framerate is at 60 unless I'm creating explosions, then it dips into the 40s. So something definitely less performant with this test.

It's possible that the new code is adding some lag, but I'll look into this more later this evening.

Cheers!

It's pretty clear that you follow Supreme Team pretty closely...
...because there is actually Zero Mention of AetherSX2 or PS2 here.

Thanks for the Plug!

Darksavior

@RapidEdwin08 I really don't follow them closely. I just noticed kiodiekin's channel mentioning he got AetherSX2 working.

Also, it's in your readme:

AetherSX2 Installed; Required PS2 BIOS *NOT Included*
$HOME/RetroPie/BIOS/*.bin

And it's in your image. I just checked.

@S_Dev88 Is kiodiekin a part of their team? He has a patreon.

Master Dev

@windg your always free to make your own build and your own work. its a free country, seems a little whiny to demand of others when you can do the work yourself

S_Dev88

@Darksavior He is part of the community just like so manny other YouTubers that have showed their work. Not sure why your linking a YouTuber to the supreme team because he showed there work and helps test things for the retro community, that’s his own business and not supremes.

windg

I think we talked to much for a 3rd party image, and we are and in the wrong topic. Please don't continued it here, that people come to learn about RPi5 and RetroPie.
