Unless you're running under X/Desktop/Wayland, there's no control over the which display comes 'first' at runtime. You can use config.txt to enable/disable the LCD (is it a DSI display ?) or HDMI, but that requires a reboot.

@dcaputi From the distance I assume it is a known issue with the firmware of the Xin-Mo. See here for a workaround: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Xin-Mo-Controller/

@DTEAM That's not how you run X11 programs. Please install and then start a normal desktop session that will allow in turn to run the desired (X11 based) programs from it.

@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.

@Lolonois Yes, I see it with "amixer". I never used this command. I will remember to check that everytime.

Now i'm working on the fully broken system :

I removed pulseaudio and pipewire. Now I can select vc4-hdmi-0 or vc4-hdmi-1 in Retropie audio menu and in raspi-config menu.

here is the amixer output :

Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Capabilities: pvolume Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 255 Mono: Front Left: Playback 255 [100%] [0.00dB] Front Right: Playback 255 [100%] [0.00dB] Simple mixer control 'HDMI',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 255 Mono: Front Left: Playback 255 [100%] [0.00dB] [on] Front Right: Playback 255 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]

Sound still not working, with hdmi-0 or hdmi-1 and PCM or HDMI in ES menu. sliders working but no sound. This time "MASTER" is stuck at 0%. I understand why now.

When I go in audio Retropie-setup Menu I can see an error during one second :

lvl0: Audio manager error: unable to open SDL audio : Alsa Couldn't open audio device: Device or ressource busy.

After there is the two hdmi choices and the working "Mixer - adjust output volume" Option.
I try to "Reset to default", reboot, nothing changes.

In raspi-config, 6-Advanced Options, A7-Audio Config, there is "No audio systems installed".

vc4-hdmi-0 and vc4-hdmi-1 are still availlable in 1-System Options, S2 Audio.

I updated SDL1 and SDL2 dependency packages in RetroPie Setup. Nothing changes.

@Lolonois I now have an issue where it's scraping some systems and not others, and when I scrape individual systems, some of the scraped systems are undone.

Could this be because I moved the cache folder?

I have read about a similar issue in the forum, and the solution was to install the pulseaudio driver.
Before you try, back up your setup!

sudo apt install pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils

@mitu well I installed Steam through pi-apps, and I believe it installs box64 with Steam but when I was testing my theory I installed it for good measure together with wine and box86. Shotgun approach and all that, and I need wine for OpenBor and Mugen games.

But what initally happened was that if I installed Steam after RetroPie, Steam wouldn't finish the last installation step, when it asks to install a bunch of dependencies and then fails. So when I install Steam before Retropie, comment out the contents of sdl1.sh, sdl2.sh, and sdl12-compat.sh, (making sure all dependencies are met) and install RetroPie, it seems to use the system's sdl libraries to build things. So far everything's working as expected. Yeah, I see what you mean about using a translation layer. I'm ok with that. I can play TMNT Shredder's Revenge and a few others just fine.

Yeah, had no issues with Steamlink. Installed it and it worked right out of the box which is nice to have for games unwilling to run locally!

@dult-np ok I actually managed to compile but no rom would go past a black screen unfortunately. I guess we'll still have to stick to AetherSX2

Welcome to the forum :)

Wow, this hardware is also already retro. However, it can be refurbished for the 2020s.

For the Pi 4 or 5 there has been recently a thread https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/36439

If smooth N64 emulation is a must then it is a Pi5.

The current IPAC won't work. But if you are satisfied (also in terms of inputlag) you can use a IPAC for USB. You can also wire the GPIO directly as you have 12 buttons per player. I recently released a project which is compatible with the Pi5 (and earlier).

You will also need some adapters between the Pi's micro HDMI and the monitor connection (VGA, DVI, regular HDMI). Driving a CRT is a different story.
For the Pi 5 you will also need an USB audio device (any C-Media compliant stick will do).

Have fun!

@ExarKunIv said in [Pi5] Videos in EmulationStation "freeze" for about 1-2 seconds when stopping:

@roslof https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35717/emulationstation-video-previews-on-raspberry-pi-5/22?_=1726283299547

Yes it has something to deal with that version of VLC.
So a downgrade is needed

Awesome! The details in that link did the trick. Ty @ExarKunIv

I think you meant to post this to https://forum.recalbox.com/, this is a RetroPie forum.

@sugarfree I tired this yesterday ish but I had to mess with everything before I added retropi on top of pi desktop. Works 90% ish you also have to take a file that is named the exact same thing and use the mv of cp command to move it into the right spot it seems

sudo mv splash.png /usr/share/plymouth/pix/splash.png

@StuMcBill

So, I've updated the bootloader to "NVME/USB Boot" (got the green screen and rapidly flashing green light), removed the SD card, placed a USB stick (flashed with Raspbian Lite) into one of the USB3 slots, and it won't boot.

I get the message below:

Any ideas?
