      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 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?

                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.

                    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"

                        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
                        

                        `Please be patient, my English is not very good.`

                                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.

                                    @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..

                                      @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%"

                                      Pi 5 4GB

                                        I'm honestly hoping it can run Amiga 32/CD games,
                                        Better Sega System 32 Support
                                        Maybe Jaguar and 3D0 Support

                                        TLDR - I already own almost every console, and have gone out of my way to install ODEs on all the disc based systems to preserve my games and expand my library.
                                        (I did own the Jag, and 3D0, but felt they weren't worth keeping around with their limited output capabilities Never owned the CDI or Neo Geo)

                                        I mostly use my PI for a older PC/Arcade emulation machine.
                                        Though I could never figure out how to get Commodore 64, Amiga and DOS games to work correctly.
                                        I did have a lot of luck with Mame, and FB neo save for the System 32 and a few other games support.

                                        I had a PI 3 B+ and Pi 4 8gb, now I have a 5 fully built and ready to go with a 1TB SD card slotted in.
                                        I hope it can handle said games with little issue, and maybe even something like Carnevil.. but that's probably a pipe dream

                                          So i got AetherSX2 working on raspberry pi 5 with raspberry pi os

                                          Any special notes on getting this to work with Raspberry Pi OS, or is it fairly straightforward at this point?

                                            @roslof I wrote a quick script on RetroPie Extras, although I think it doesn't point to the bios folder correctly. And you need to use the kernel8.img as well for it to load. And add in some decent hotkeys, pointing to the SDL controllers with start+back button combos
