Retropie on Raspberry Pi 5 and Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor on Retropie
-
I have a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB RAM version, and I wanted to install Retropie on it. I went to downloads, but there is no raspberry pi 5 download? Is there a beta version, or is it releasing soon?
As I mentioned before I have a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB RAM version, and I also wanted to know if I could use the Xbox 360 Kinect sensor with retropie for xbox 360 Kinect games. I have a lot of them laying around and I like retrogaming so this would be a way for me to not buy most retro consoles. Thank you in advance. -
@NMaster no there is no image ready for the pi5 and won't be for a bit longer.
If you want it. You have to install the pi5 os and then manually install Retropie over it.
As for the Kinect unless someone made software for it to work and got it to work with a pi5 and with Retropie. Its not going to do much.

theres a couple of things with your provided information.
#1 there isnt an official release of the RetroPie software for the Raspberry Pi 5
#2 more importantly, the Pi5 can emulate (barely) original Xbox games and not very well.
- the Raspberry Pi 5 will never, and I mean NEVER play Xbox 360 games, so using your kinect for 360 games in not a possibility.
- the kinect might work in some other way with other emulators and motion games, but i dont know and doubt it, because no one is working on any software to make the 360 kinect sensor work.
- also a very important note: the Xbox 360 used special GPU instructions called AVX and not only will ARM processors never work with this, but many Intel chips wont use it either.
I dont say never very often, because there are some amazing programmers out there that make magic happen sometimes, but this isnt one of them.
Xbox 360 emulation will never work on a Raspberry Pi 5, sorry :-/
