Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement

[Swampy]

Does anyone have experience with basilisk ii on the rpi5? Or has anyone gotten it to work? I just can't get it to start: ERROR: Not enough free memory.

[pjft]

@Swampy Not saying it’s the cause, but how much memory do you have? The error seems to point in that direction.

[Swampy]

@pjft Which memory is meant? I have an rpi5 8gb. Unfortunately I have no idea about the memory management of the rpi5. I tried increasing the emulator's internal memory in the configuration file. Without result.

[pjft]

@Swampy That’s a great question then, and one I don’t have an answer to. I’d potentially just try to add more swap memory, but I doubt that’d be the case with 8GB of RAM. I’d wait for others to reply then. Sorry for not being able to help further, just wanted to exclude the easy symptom first. There’s video memory as well, though I can’t say I remember how it works on the Pi 5 right now.

@pjft Bit of an aside, the default for swap memory on the most recent raspberry pi OS update changes the default from 100mb to 512mb. So we might find the need to change the swap memory for specific instances (2s2h on RetroPie Extras for example needs it I think) will disappear

[pjft]

@retropieuser555 Cool. Didn’t know that. To be fair, my only experience with messing with swap memory on RetroPie was to compile MAME from source, so it’s good that you’re aware of other needs so we adjust when needed!

thats correct.

it is increased to build and then it resets back to normal

@Jiryn I've just installed a HatDrive! Nano, a 256GB SSD and Active Cooler all in the official Pi 5 case.

[Jiryn]

@capcob I bought a Vilros case and it didn't fit... so I'll look into that.
Is there a heat sink on your processor?

This case?

I didn't think it'd fit.

This is what I got, can't put the hat on.

I'm locking this topic, it has become a dumpster for any issue or question related to the Pi5 or the new RasiOS Bookworm.release.

@Jiryn feel free to open a separate topic for your question.
