Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement

Is anyone else having any odd USB issues with their pi5?

abj

@zaphod24 The only issue i have so far, is that the system can't boot from a certain usb card reader i have. The same device, is working with older Pi models.

@zaphod24 My pi5 will sometimes not detect my wired 8bitdo controller unless I re-insert it but I haven't tried it lately to see if a firmware update fixed it. I boot RetroPie from a usb stick and my roms are on second usb stick. Those work fine.

zaphod24

@Darksavior do you have one or two controllers? I have two and the second one doesn't detect/work and the first is hit and miss whether it detects or not.. If it does not, it usually will the next reboot or power cycle.

Anyone with a 8GB fancy a challenge and attempting the Ocarina of Time PC Port:-

https://github.com/HarbourMasters/Shipwright/issues/3870

I got right to the end and ran out of memory when compiling as I have a 4GB rather than 8GB Pi 5

Add more swap ?

@retropieuser555 I don't have the know how for such a task but do let me know when it's done as I'll be all over that :)

Perfect, that did the job (https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35182/guide-how-to-add-ocarina-of-time-pc-port-to-retropie-pi5-64bit for help).

I just followed Ship of Harkinain's Linux build instructions and followed a guide to change the swap memory from 100mb to 1024mb.

Haven't tried mod packs yet but 60 FPS works very nicely. Also there's no way to exit without using a mouse and keyboard yet, I might add a check in the guide+start SDL buttons so we can quit out, seeing as the PC Port is designed with desktops in mind

One controller. A reboot or re-connecting the controller fixes it.

@Darksavior Two controllers here.. Having the second attached at boot or after doesn't matter, it's worked maybe one boot out of 50.

I try to reinstall RetroPie to a new sd card but something is failing, that wasn't happen before. Maybe a new Pi OS update break something?

Log File

i follow the following commands and it was possible to correct the issue with the libc-bin package:

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc-bin.*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install libc-bin

I am testing the latest Dolphin standalone. It doesn't run the games (.rvz), It's going back to ES. I had the same issue with the first version of dolphin-rpi5 script.

@abj what was your runcommand.log that shows what the command it attempted to run? Also I think it's included in RetroPie but did you install matchbox window manager? That could be it.

Been testing GameCube again today, holy crap how did nobody ever tell me how good Kirby's Air Ride is!

abj

@retropieuser555 The log i post above was the runcommand.log after the emulator didn't boot a game.
The only thing i did, it was to install the latest dolphin script. Did i had to do any extra steps? Thanks

mitu

@abj The error you have is because you're missing the gldriver-test package.

abj

@mitu Thanks, i will try to install this package in a few hours and i will report back.

Just a side question using XINIT-WM, is there an advance to using matchbox manager rather than something like ratpoison?

I've edited run command to this here:-

```

if [[ "$XINIT_WM" -gt 0 ]]; then
local params=()
[[ "$XINIT_WM" -eq 1 ]] && params+=(-use_cursor no)
[[ "$XINIT_WM" -eq 2 ]] && params+=(-use_cursor yes)
cat >>"$xinitrc" <<EOF
ratpoison &
sleep 0.5
xset -dpms s off s noblank
EOF


I've found doing this gets rid of the window title and border, and in doing so runs Dolphin & AetherSX2 fullscreen consistently

Having an issue with Mario Kart Double Dash using lr-dolphin on the Pi 5. Getting that blue screen overlay during the race that has been reported on the stand alone version of Dolphin and it looks like the fix was to switch from the Vulkan to OpenGL renderer, but that doesn't seem to be an option on the lr-dolphin version. Is there a fix for this or am I just missing something obvious?

retropieuser555

@TPR not yet no. It's discussed here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35172/mkdd-tint-issue-rpi5/10
