      i can use this to see what will and will not work from RetroPie-extras

        I did many tests and it doesn't work. Here's step by step what I did from the begining for aethersx2:

        • in config.txt --> kernel=kernel8.img

        This is usually the culprit for seg fault on pi5, double check kernel8 or pastebin the config .txt to verify.
        Can try to set X11 from sudo raspi-config - Advanced Options - Wayland - X11 Openbox Backend.

        You can also try an Alternative Retropie-Setup script module from here: aethersx2.sh

        The PCSX2.ini included in that one is configured to look for BIOS and Mem Cards in:

        home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS
        

        That particular script module will not overwrite the current aethersx2 config PCSX2.ini.
        You will want to either back up or delete the current PCSX2.ini before installing.

        home/pi/.config/aethersx2/inis/PCSX2.ini

          home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS

          Here's the folder location from PCSX2.ini

          [Folders]
          Bios = ../../../../../../home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/ps2
          Snapshots = snaps
          Savestates = sstates
          MemoryCards = memcards
          Logs = logs
          Cheats = cheats
          CheatsWS = cheats_ws
          CheatsNI = cheats_ni
          Cache = cache
          Textures = textures
          InputProfiles = inputprofiles
          

          I don't see any problem here.

          Could it be the local depends (aethersx2.sh)?

          function depends_aethersx2() {
              local depends=(matchbox-window-manager xorg xserver-xorg-input-all mesa-vulkan-drivers pulseaudio pipewire-media-session-pulseaudio)
          
              getDepends ${depends[@]}
          }
          
          function sources_aethersx2() {
              gitPullOrClone
          }
          
          function install_aethersx2() {
              tar -xzvf AetherSX2-v1.5-3606.tar.gz -C "/opt/retropie/emulators/aethersx2"
              chmod +x /opt/retropie/emulators/aethersx2/AetherSX2-v1.5-3606/usr/bin/aethersx2
          }
          
          function configure_aethersx2() {
              mkRomDir "ps2"
              
              local launch_prefix
              isPlatform "kms" && launch_prefix="XINIT-WM:"

            Thanks, much appreciated. I tried, but same result. I tested all BIOS versions on the net and nothing happened. Could this be related to the SDL2 version? I will continue to investigate?

            Here's my config.txt

              @DTEAM someone correct me if I'm wrong but, looking at your config txt,
              I think everything you put in #New, including kernel8, is not being applied because you put it all under [cm4].
              You should move it up to before [cm4].

                you might have something there

                i put all my changes after [all]
                but before would probably do the same thing

                      For your script, if a controller is not listed in the SDL database, you can use this procedure to add it by replacing this

                      sudo bash -c 'cat ./out.txt >> /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp/assets/gamecontrollerdb.txt'
                      

                      By this

                      sudo bash -c 'cat /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/out.txt >> /opt/retropie/emulators/aethersx2/AetherSX2-v1.5-3606/usr/bin/resources/game_controller_db.txt'
                      

                      It works, like with PPSSPP

                      NEW edit: Touch screen (on Pi5) also works well with this emulator

                        Hi, why citra or lr-citra only work on a x86 platform?

                          @DTEAM i never changed it since there is no point, \ it does not work. since the yuzu shutdown. the main files that the LR core builds from are gone, and even through people have repos with the new locations.

                          it still does not work. there is LIME that does compile and works. i just have not made a script for it yet

                              @DTEAM yes and no.
                              That's going to be the standalone emulator. Not a LR core.
                              It might work. Might not. I have not bothered to try I'm going to go more for lime since it's got more of an active development going on. And most likely less chance from being shut down.

                              But hey who says we can't have more then 1 right.

                              I say give it a shot if you know how

                              Here is my issue page on GitHub. That has a few things.

                              If you like give it a shot

                              I'll take any help

                                @ExarKunIv it might be worth avoiding anything switch or 3ds related at the moment given the position Ninty have taken as of late? I'd keep a backup of your git respiratory in case they send a takedown notice so you could in theory redo it without the Nintendo related aspects

                                  @retropieuser555 im not worried about it. all they can do it kill where the files come from, thats it.
                                  since im not hosting anything. it will just stop the script from doing anything, like it is right now.

                                    To play PS2 games like God of War II at fullspeed on Pi5 with Aethersx2, you must set EE Cycle Skipping at Maximum Underclock (major impact) and Disable Cheats. Affinity Control Mode is set on Performance Cores. I don't see major changes with the last two settings.

                                    I also overclocked my Pi5 . Don't know if it has a positive impact.

                                        Another thing with Aethersx2 and Pi5. Some games don't allow the possibility to change the language inside the game (Like God of War I). To do that and change the default language, you must set the system/ Bios itself and follow these steps.

                                        1- add this command line in emulators.cfg

                                        aethersx2-editor = "XINIT-WMC:/opt/retropie/emulators/aethersx2/AetherSX2-v1.5-3606/usr/bin/aethersx2"
                                        

                                        2- Run this new command line by choosing a game.
                                        3 - In the new GUI, go at the top left and select system -->Start Bios
                                        4- Go in the Console setting and choose your default language (ex.: French)
                                        5- Click start+select to go back in the GUI and choose exit in the system menu
                                        6- restart the game with the good command line (aethersx2)

                                        Now your game will be in the preferred language (like French or German or ....)

                                            To play PS2 games like God of War II at fullspeed on Pi5 with Aethersx2, you must set EE Cycle Skipping at Maximum Underclock (major impact) and Disable Cheats. Affinity Control Mode is set on Performance Cores. I don't see major changes with the last two settings.

                                            I also overclocked my Pi5 . Don't know if it has a positive impact.

                                            I forgot to say something. With that setup, the Enable Speed Limiter menu option must be activated. For the sound quality, you can play with the interpolation mode. Nearest is faster but worst quality. If your sound still choppy, you can use that one
