@Jiryn said in Manual Installation Broken at GitHub level:

Remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021

The issue was caused by your typo for the repository URL. Instead of RetroPie-Setup you entered RetroPie-Steup and Github assumed is a private repository and tried to authenticate you.

@mitu seems like I may have to settle for a middle ground then. Yes it is an interlaced image. I hate that There is no way to independently control the resolution on emulation station. Thank you for all of your assistance.

I may continue to tinker with adjusting the resolution.

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

@dcaputi said in moving mame back to lr-mame:

So ignore all that and just tell me, should I give FBNeo a try?

Unlike MAME's OSD, RetroArch's Quick menu > Controls isn't good at remapping anything to anything. I have a feeling this might be a problem with your setup. Make sure you read this if you want to try anyway.

And yeah, a lot of games supported by MAME 0.274 aren't gonna be supported by FBNeo, especially 3D games. As for the differences between both emulators, they are explained here and there.

@Jiryn said in Can RetroPie Be Installed on THIS PI 5 OS?:

I am using an imager, and the recommended OS for PI 5 is Debian BookWorm with Pi Desktop 2024-11-19

Yes, you can install it on Bookworm - the suport is still beta but it should mostly work.

@sugarfree Strange rule... "Don't talk about your problem with people who have the same problem."

But it's ok, I go back to talk with myself on my topic.

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.

@retropieuser555
Thank you, I found these

https://a.co/d/9d7bqmC - has SSD and FAN build iN
https://a.co/d/f6FdZ4T - Requires external SSD Hat, oddly the image shows a base as the hat.

@MCG_1983 There's is beta support for the PI5 in RetroPie-Setup, though without an official image release.

@canisgames omg thank you! It looks like there was an update to the kernel8.img on Jan 2 as well.

After running the rpi-update command to update my firmware it was as you described. I was able to add the kernel=kernel8.img back to the config file and my n64 games are working with audio now!

Thank you again! I hope this post helps anyone else running into the same issues!

@Slick I suggest opening a separate topic with recommended information: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@sugarfree @capcob
I think I Hardcore derped...

I've yet to open my HAT, but have built and put the pi in the case shown.. ..
This is what I had bought for my SSD

I didn't realize it went beneath the PI.. will that cause any issues?
I've not bothered doing anything since I am waiting for the PI5 Pre-Made Build

I can't edit my post (understandable, im a newbie). But if I could, it would say

Edit: I figured it out- I had become error. I was trying to be fancy with my file pathing, and I forgot the adage- keep it simple

@sugarfree ahh. Didn't know. Since I already got it. Didn't try before I posted that

Is there no interest in having retropie run as a service on top of a full desktop environment?

Not on the Raspberry Pi.
RetroPie (ES + emulators) works fine on a PC platform from the desktop, but the audio configuration is handled by the system/desktop environment and there's not much that RetroPie configures at this point, it just used the default audio device that's register in the system (i.e. in PipeWire/PulseAudio).

EDIT: as explained before, you need to find the right Audio Card setting which works for you. Try using PCM/Master instead of HDMI, it should work.

@ExarKunIv That's what I figured. Thank you for the reply & link.

@mitu its not hard in the sense its difficult to do.

i say its hard to plan for what might change to get other things working as you(the devs) go through and get everything underthe hood working the way you want them.

and yes probably nothing is going to change that much that it will happen, but there is a chance. that's what i mean by that.

for me, who it not program savvy as the rest who make scripts and stuff. it will frustrate me that the time i spend was for not, if it broke once the official release comes. again that's just me, and how i am
