Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement

@mitu Ah, yes. That's what it is. Thanks for the link!

@Retrodade said in Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement:

wine/box 86 is working on a pi5? this sounds great! was it hard to install?

Aside from the SDL problem (see mitu's link), it is pretty straight forward. I followed the guides on the box86 repository for installing wine. There are scripts for downloading and installing it which are quite helpful. I still did it mostly by hand because I need different wine versions side by side.
For now it seems that you should stay below wine 8.

@ecto nice, maybe an .sh will show up in an extras when its all out and official.
i really want to keep my wine, moving from a 4 to a 5 its a great thing

Not trying to get my hopes up, but is this the major update to Mesa that we've been waiting for to help boost performance of some emulators?

I don't think so.

So i got AetherSX2 working on raspberry pi 5 with raspberry pi os without need to install Ubuntu. So now i have retropie working and AetherSX2 from desktop. 70% of games in my library works perfectly mostly above 50fps and some 3d demanding games 30+ fps.

Now my idea is to try to launch games from retropie instead of going to desktop. Has anyone idea how to launch games from retropie and start external emulator like dolphin works🤔?

Does anyone know when Retropie will support Pi 5?

I am having a heck of a time connecting my wireless controllers to the sd card i am trying .

Thank you

@erdoc789 unfortunately no. There is no ETA or even a guess.

Batocera has a beta. But that's all I know of.

Jiryn

Just waiting on the official release package for my PI5.

@Jiryn Now now, I understand how much we want Retropie on the raspberry pi 5. But we can’t rush these things can we? Besides, we can always install it manually. But I’m much more comfortable with an official image compatible with the pi. You know, better safe than sorry. What games are you looking forward to running on the pi 5?

abj

Instead to wait, why not to try a manual installation ? The process is very simple, you need only few time.

Just follow this guide : https://github.com/danielfreer/raspberrypi5-retropie-setup . It is the same as the official one, but the person who wrote it added pictures to help new users more.

@ExarKunIv thank you !

I will brake the rules if i open a topic to Project and Themes section, and share my Pi5 image to help new users that aren't familiar with the process of manual installation of RetroPie? It will be 100% clean (no bios, games, metadata) unofficial image without guaranties.

I also have the same question -

I also followed the same guide https://github.com/danielfreer/raspberrypi5-retropie-setup

and have my Pi5 setup without any issues so far.

I also modified the n64 per https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/187ix5n/raspberry_pi_5_and_retropie_installation/

/opt/retropie/configs/n64/retroarch.cfg
parallel-n64-cpucore = "cached_interpreter"

@BAZLOCO
Did you add the following line to the config. txt file? If you haven't i recommend to add it :

from terminal window run:

nano /boot/firmware/config.txt

and add in the end :

kernel=kernel8.img

BAZLOCO

@abj cheers - updated mine now !

ExarKunIv

@abj i think that is fine, @RapidEdwin08 has a post with his build image somewhere here. and its still up

erdoc789

@abj Sounds awesome :) would love to see it !!

abj

Sorry, i decide to not upload the image. I don't want user's to bother the Devs with issues, from something that it's not official.

Except that, the instructions with the pictures i posted above, are very clear even for new users.

erdoc789

@abj Thank you !!

@miremi I need to reinstall but yes, relatviely straight forward starting AetherSx2 from emulationstation/retropie.

its the getting out again that's the hard part..

retropieuser555

@mechafatnick do you start aethersx2 without GUI? Then you can just go into the menu with a hotkey combo you've chosen and exit that way:-

For example mine is this, just add the -nogui onto your emulator.cfg configuration

aethersx2 = "XINIT-WM:/opt/retropie/emulators/aethersx2/AetherSX2-v1.5-3606/usr/bin/aethersx2 -nogui %ROM%"
