I tried to reinstall from scratch

Installed only emulationstation, nothing else

It succeeded (even though it says nothing will work but at least the UI starts)

Then I started to install only core packages but same error again

{Too long and don't wanna read all that}

I have a save file that is zipped by default.

Never seen that before until now.

i tried out recalbox and with the same bios + rom (and seemingly the same config in amiberry, it all works at 50FPS as expected.. :(

@Lolonois said in usb boot from 5tb hdd:

@korn16ftl3 ah my bad, I guess I should have added -v to lsusb. You may run again and keep only Mass Storage devices, e.g. lsusb -vt | grep -A1 "Mass Storage"

Which will output something like:

|__ Port 3: Dev 11, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=uas, 480M ID 152d:0583 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp. JMS583Gen 2 to PCIe Gen3x2 Bridge

The hexadecimal numbers right after ID are the USB Vendor ID and Product ID. Use these to add the usbquirks in the cmdline.txt in the /boot (or /boot/firmware folder). Make sure to add it at the same line (no newline) and only use spaces before the whole kernel parameter and value, e.g.:

<existing cmdline.txt line> usb-storage.quirks=<vendorId>:<productId>:t <existing cmdline.txt line> usb-storage.quirks=<vendorId>:<productId>:u

You may try first with the flag/quirk :t and check if it remediates the situation or jump right to :u, which will most likely -judging from the distance- remediate the situation.

ok so now i have something that makes sense :-)

this is now my readout for the drive i am trying to boot retropie from:
https://ibb.co/0jXRnDNR

now to follow the rest of your instructions:

my original cmdline.txt is as follows:

console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=3de64a5b-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet loglevel=3 consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 quiet init=/usr/lib/raspi-config/init_resize.sh

if I'm understanding what the instructions are it should be this for the quirks:

console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=3de64a5b-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet loglevel=3 consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 quiet init=/usr/lib/raspi-config/init_resize.sh usb-storage.quirks=1058:5ee:u

My new question is since we are playing with the cmdline.txt, what are the other parameters that are there?

That error shouldn't have an impact on running a N64 game - can you please post the entire /dev/shm/runcomamnd.log file ?

Do you also get an error if you install the lr-mupen64plus-next N64 emulator and run the game with it ?

It seemed logical to buy a Pi 5 which was already 2 years after its release in 2023. Being a novice to Pi in general, it was quite a struggle but I basically succeeded in getting Jaguar Tempest 2000 to run on my Pi 3, only to find out the Pi 3 is WAY too slow for it. Retropie still isn't a simple install, but once again with a lot more effort Tempest is at least installed, and very smoothly is running through its demo screens so it appears that Pi 5 is fast enough to play it. But controls don't work - more struggle to come. The method of screen rotation is very annoyingly not compatible with previous methods requiring jumping out of Emulationstation to set the rotation for every reboot (wtf where the developers thinking??). Pi 5 also lacks a sound jack requiring consumption of a USB port and the sound isn't working correctly with the adapter. I would say a Pi 5 is a poor option for use with Retropie. I'm sorry I bought it.

It seems that Retropie does not currently handle dual monitors. I am going to try a few different options. Maybe loading the Pi right into Mame, or maybe start an OS with retroarch and load a core.

More to come….

@mitu I don't remember I haven't booted Linux on arcade in a while. Sorry.

@roslof Do you have a folder with "lr-mame" 0.278 for rpi5 64bit that you can share? Thanks

@BlackLord
note : my understanding is that this modified genplus-gx core is breaking some stuff, so it is not recommended to replace the original genplus-gx core by it (which is probably what you did)

@mitu thank you problem solved:
Deleted 1st partition (unused 16mb)
And now /dev/sda1 is correctly mounted ...on my hdd2...465gb
Retropie boots quickly and without warnings.
Thanks

For the record the 'X' button on my XBox360 Controller is detected as 003 via hypjsch

So I doubled checked that against the Joystick API config:

KEY_BUTTON2 = SDLK_LALT 0 3

And again 'X' was FEET and played fine.

@BurndtJamb said in help installing screen driver on pi zero 2 w with retropie:

. I can't get ssh working since i don't know the ip address due to not having a screen. is there either a way I can install the necessary stuff without ssh?

If you don't have a direct interface (i.e. monitor + keyboard) to the RPI, then you need SSH. If you don't know the IP, you can try connecting using the hostname instead - for the RetroPie image the hostname is retropie (you can also try with retropie.local)

@duglor

The only thing I can think is to enter the runcommandmenu when you start a game and try to select a different resolution.
Really a long time ago since I used this stuff and no time to look into it.
Might be that someone else has an idea.
