Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement
-
@Darksavior I used the raspbian lite image and then manually installed RetroPie. Sadly there haven't been any other replies so I would advise anyone that wants to replace their pi4 with a pi5 to get better performance with N64 emulation etc. hold off if they play any games locally 2 player.
-
@zaphod24 Hey, if you wanted to play 2 player games using your Pi 5 and USB isn't working, why not just use Bluetooth gamepads?
-
@PiBoyyy Certainly can, but I already have 2 8bitdo USB gamepads which worked fine on pi4
-
@zaphod24 certainly seems strange. Not sure I have any USB controllers although I might try and plug in my 8bitdo Bluetooth gamepads via USB to test and see if it gives me the errors that way
-
@retropieuser555 I'd appreciate knowing how that goes.. I even went as far as ordering a usb hub to try and put both gamepads on the same USB controller for the pi5 since they changed things from the pi4 and have 4 buses, one for each usb connector on the back instead of one usb2 and one usb3 for the pi4.
-
@zaphod24 where did you read about the USB buses being 1 per port ?
The RP1 chip, which drives almost all I/O on the Pi5, has 2 USB buses - see https://hackaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/rp1-block-diagram.jpg or https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/rp1.html#content. -
Because im using Pi as a desktop right now. i test my controllers (Logitech 710 & 310) with this page https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad and both are working at the same time. Maybe the issue affect two same controllers or same brand ?
-
@abj I have played Saturn Bomberman 8-players on the Pi5 in both wired and hybrid (4 wired and 4 wireless PS3 pads - original and Shanwan) and all has gone well, so while it's a good hypothesis, I'm not sure about that angle.

Niether - there are 2 physical connections for each pair of USB2/3 ports. But regardless, I don't think that's a problem per-se and it's not the cause of your issue. Maybe your unit has a problem ? Do any other USB peripherals exhibit the same issue (i.e. keyboard/mice) or it's just the gamepads ?
-
@mitu so far keyboard and mice have been fine, it's just when using 2 gamepads at the same time
-
I gave up and got 2 bluetooth SN30 pro controllers. They work without issue except both light just the first LED which makes it look like both are player one when in fact one is player 2.

i sumarized the instructions for the Dolphin standalone emulator.
- Update RetroPie-Setup script.
- Install Dolphin emulator from experimental packages.
- Add to this file:
/opt/retropie/configs/gc/emulators.cfg
this line:
dolphin-editor = "XINIT-WMC:/opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu"
In the end, the file it will be like this:
dolphin = "XINIT-WM:/opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu-nogui -e %ROM%" dolphin-gui = "XINIT-WM:/opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu -b -e %ROM%" dolphin-editor = "XINIT-WMC:/opt/retropie/emulators/dolphin/bin/dolphin-emu" default = "dolphin-gui"
- Start a game and choose from runcommand menu the
dolphin-editor
. This will open Dolphin menu, where we can change the parameters of the emulator and configure the controller(important).

Installed from terminal, a recommended package:
gldriver-test
.This should be handled automatically now - as part of the 'xorg' installation.

Did someone else have the same error with beetle-psx?
[ERROR] Requesting OpenGL context, but RetroArch is compiled against OpenGLES. Cannot use HW context. [ERROR] [Environ]: SET_HW_RENDER - Dynamic request HW context failed. [ERROR] [Environ]: SET_MESSAGE_EXT: Unable to find or open hardware renderer for frontend preferred hardware context. Falling back to software renderer.
The weird things is that the emulator is running the games without issues with hardware enable. I know that because i can set higher resolution.

I attempted to install pixel desktop from the raspbian tools, in doing so it's knocked the runcommand XINIT:WM functionality:-

Any ideas how to revert what pixel's installed/changed? It should only apt install xorg and ldxe no?
Edit: Solved it, pixel installs /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf which has something funky going on. Removing it and now pixel & xorg runcommand works again

Has anyone tried installing eduke32/ionfury? It doesn't start for me, instead it seems to segfault.
I don't know what I could try to make it work. -
@ecto i have both on my, they are working.
the only thing i have done is added/boot/firmware/config.txt
this line :kernel=kernel8.img .
not sure if that did anything or not. but both are working for me.
i just did this install a few days ago -
@ecto Indeed try kernel8 first as mentioned above.
If that still gives you trouble (not segmentation fault), I personally used a sirlemonhead's fork previously to overcome video issues, although it may not be needed anymore.
