@mitu said in Raspberry Pi 5 Speculation:

I don't think a Pi5 is in the works.

Given the timelines involved with designing and validating new hardware, especially when it involves chip design, we can be very certain that Pi 5 development is quite far along already. I know a Pi employee (jamesh, on the forums) mentioned already ~1 year before the Pi 4 was released that they had a good understanding of what the Pi 5 would be. I'd guess that at this point we're at most ~1.5 years from a Pi 5 release. I would hope to see it already this coming summer, but that may be a bit too optimistic.

Of course, the Pi 4 has still not peaked, since we're still waiting for Pi OS 64-bit, the full KMS video driver and Vulkan support. Personally, though, I believe the Pi 5 will in large part compatible with all the SW development work that's going on now, i.e. they will most likely keep the GPU very similar (at least from an architectural perspective).

It's pretty hard to speculate about what the Pi 5 will look like, but I mostly agree with @george-spiggott. Regarding using A75 cores, power consumption of the Pi 4 is already pretty much at the limit for what's practical when it comes to passive cooling. It's unlikely that they'd increase it further. This makes it challenging to provide a generational performance leap without going down to more dense manufacturing processes (such as 20nm or 16nm). So, I'd expect a process upgrade for the Pi 5. I also believe that at 16nm (and maybe also 20nm?) they will need to make some provisions to be able to keep the 3.3V I/O on the 40-pin header, since the silicon is not 3.3V tolerant. This will add cost and complexity.

My hope for the next Pi is that they're able to alleviate some bottlenecks in the design. It seems like memory bandwidth is lower than it should be, possibly because of internal bus limitations. My guess is that this is one of the reasons the performance of N64 emulation is still quite bad, despite seemingly not being particularly CPU or GPU limited on the Pi 4.

It only works when the 'launch harpoon' message appears. Press left on the right analogue stick to trigger it.

@quicksilver
It had passed 4 months before I actually tried your fix proposal.
It worked. The X-box controller is now fully compatible. Thank you!

@rodolfoaguilar @Firebird_WS6
I'm summing up what quicksilver proposed.
This solution worked for me.

Plug in a Keyboard While in Emulation Station press F4 to open the Terminal Type sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/xpad.conf Change
xpad triggers_to_buttons=1 to xpad triggers_to_buttons=0 Press cntrl-x Accept the changes. Return back to Emulation Station by typing emulationstation Restart Retropie.
(In my case, I noticed that the X-box controller had started acting strangely while in Emulation Station.
The D-pad buttons swapped positions in Emulation Station as they were previously in PPSSPP.) Remap the controller in Emulation Station. Remap the controller in PPSSPP if necessary.
(In my case, this was not needed.)

I'm not sure why this issue is affecting some people and not others.
Apparently, the problem is caused by the Trigger buttons somehow.

@WesleyBidsnipes said in I'd like the Retropie to power on our Xbox and switch to its OneGuide app:

@mitu It's been years since I've messed with udev... does that work with Bluetooth as well? We have one of the Playstation 3 wireless controllers, I think it's the Sixaxis.

It should work.

I'm having the same problem but one wireless redgear x-box gamepad is working fine and I'have configured all but my another gamepad which is detected but I cannot configure any buttons(wired redgear- x-box(in retropie game it is says x-box) but in windows it says ps3)... and I'm getting errors installing ps3 driver..
Any help will be appreciated!

Still though, would have been nice for Citra to benefit from USB ROM transfer and stuff.

I believe that is a Windows only device

You should try out the xpadneo driver: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo

see the section under install. This is specifically designed to work with the bluetooth xbox one controller model 1708.

@Babis said in Controllers Setup:

If I install a fresh image of retropie will my roms remain or do I have to back them up and re upload them?

A fresh image will have only RetroPie, no ROMs are included in the image. You'll have to back them up if you like to keep your existing files.

@DavidB21 oh okay that's good. I'm glad you found something that would work.

Which is your budget?

If you want something with top quality and wish to spend 30, 50 or more dollars, I'd recommend you any 8bitdo bluetooth controllers. These are great recreations of controllers from older consoles such as SNES, Mega Drive and NES. They even created a SNES controller with two analogs and two more shoulder buttons, just like a PS4 controller.

However, if you don't want to spend more than 10 dollars per controller, I'd recommend you USB controllers from older consoles that you can buy on AliExpress. Here's some examples:

NES USB - Around 3 dollars per unit SNES USB - Around 4 dollars per unit Sega Genesis USB - Around 5 dollars per unit Sega Saturn USB - 10 dollars per unit

How are you connecting the devices - do you have an USB hub (and which type) ? Can you check the system log with dmesg to see if any errors appear there when the controller becomes unresponsive ? What power source (and no, a phone charger is not a proper power source) are you using ?

@zacho95 Also another thing you can try is powering off the console, pulling the power cord/power supply, press the power button on the Xbone a couple of times to drain it, and then reboot and retry.
I used to get paid to do this shit for Microsoft :)

When you connect a controller to an XBONE via wired or wireless, it saves the ID of the console in the controller's memory, so if it is not connecting to it after all of these steps, it is probably the wireless functionality on the controller that is dead (in all my years of working we have not had the wireless adapter on the console side break). I have seen a lot of those original controllers break over the years :)

Also if you have a friend with an XBONE, try to pair it to that console

What exactly did that do though?

I would like for the script to only execute when I click on an icon or something of it in Emulation Station.

Sorry if I'm still being a pain on this. :(

@simonster @demesauce Okay thanks

I have also now got Kodi installed onto it so its my home media center to! :)
