I guess we can change the script to point to the (new upstream) repository, though for some reason it's not loading up for me right now to check (Bibucket connection/issues ?).

Though I'd rather wait for the issue you mentioned to be fixed first instead of replacing a working version with a faulty one.

@tar I didn't understood a thing, but if things are working out, then  👍.

@boxwine-exp

I mean about this script

https://github.com/GeorgeMcMullen/rp-box86wine

FYI - "USE_OPENGL=0" seems to be the necessary flag. I can compile with or without "Polymer" and it will launch successfully.

@Folly
Recently I played with MESA and Vulkan to install an emulator in developement at an early stage for Nintendo 3DS. Probably that.

@mitu

Nevermind, the </command> within es_systems.cfg under retropiemenu needed to be changed as well. All fixed now.

@MoleMan thanks for reporting the issue upstream.

@Healey85 said in Raspberry Pi Imager Update for Raspberry Pi 5?:

So at present time I own a Raspberry Pi 5. I see with the latest version of Raspberry Pi Imager version 1.8.5 you can install the Recalbox Operating System (under emulation and game OS), but not the RetroPie Operating System.

Yes, because RetroPie doesn't have an image released for the Pi 5. If it would have, it would be automatically picked by the RPI Imager. If you wish to use a Pi5, you can install manually RetroPie on top of a RaspiOS Lite installation, but support it's still beta and requires some Linux knowledge.

So if I want RetroPie on my Raspberry pi 5, am I better off seeking out a Raspberry Pi 4 separate from the 5 I already have?

It depends on what you kind of retro games you want to play - a Pi4 or even a Pi3 may be enough.

I found this:

Note: Since ScummVM 2.7.0 the folder structure from the original media needs to be preserved. Older versions of ScummVM allowed to move files to the top level folder, while they now need to remain in their respective subdirectories. If your game is no longer detected by ScummVM, you may need to move back the files to their original subdirectories.
https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Broken_Sword_1

The game needs

CLUSTERS folder (with *.clu and swordres.rif file) MUSIC folder (Except 2M29.WAV in CD2) SMACKSHI folder SPEECH folder Rename speech.clu on CD1 to speech1.clu Rename speech.clu on CD2 to speech2.clu

I moved the files *.clu and swordres.rif to CLUSTERS and now the game is running again!
But my folder SMACKSHI is empty. Can you list the files you have in that folder? In case these files still exist in my game folder, I would like to move them too.

Thanks!

... made it far worse... the cheap ass screw melted..

@Nash iirc it's: wine explorer /desktop=shell,1920x1080 game.exe.
I don't know if you always need the resolution, but some games might need a specific desktop resolution.
You have to set the same resolution in the runcommand menu.

@DTEAM nice. amazing work on getting this to work.

we just need to have a script that will update mesa and cmake and we are all set. lol

Here's a remake of my realistic Arcade Bezel for the game BurgerTime using the MegaBezel Reflective Shader for Retroarch.

@DeSanta said in Is there any way to use the bezels from the Bezel Project in standalone emulators (outside of RetroArch)?:

@mitu Strange that it doesn’t work outside of RetroArch… In Batocera (PC), it is possible to use bezels in standalone emulators.

There may be programs that can do that, but they're not included in RetroPie and may not work on a Pi/SBC.

@mitu

pi@retropie:~ $ locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
en_GB.utf8
POSIX

this is what I get with that command. I don't think I've change any sort of system/user language..

After applying apt-get install python3-venv I was able to install dbar4gun successfully, but I still can't actually get the wiimote working.

RetroPie's BT pairing is geared mainly to input devices (gamepads/keyboards) and may not work properly on Audio devices. Try to pair manually using bluetoothctl - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth.

You may also want to replace pulseaudio with pipewire-pulse, since Pipewire has replaced Pulseaudio in the latest RaspiOS (and other Linux distributions).

If you don't succeed, try installing the RaspiOS desktop image, which has the Bluetooth pairing utilities on the desktop and installs the necessary audio packages. Once you make it work, you can disable the graphical desktop and boot to console to start EmulationStation.

You can use backport for MESA (24.2.8)/Vulkan 1.2.289

Now I did it properly and test it. I saw a massive performance increase for game loading and a better performance with Vulkan. Unfortunately , Vulkan 1.3 is not officially available yet for Pi, only 1.2.289 is available .You can get it only with MESA 24.3 but it should be soon.

Here's what I did :

1- Create an empty file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-12-backports.list and write this inside with a file editor

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main

You must change the folder restriction first
2 - update MESA

sudo apt install -t bookworm-backports mesa-va-drivers

3- Double check your installed packages with:

dpkg-query -W | grep '~bpo'

4 - Update Vulkan if needed

sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers/bookworm-backports

Note : - Do a backup first
- I also recommend to update cmake sudo apt install cmake/bookworm-backports.
