      @busywait Yeah, I guess that a RetroPie image based on bullseye will fix it.

        I tried the unofficial manual upgrade to bullseye but the problem didn't go away. I'm sure there's much more to it, but I wanted to try.

          @darksavior I ran that script on a clean 64-bit install too. It was a smooth process but still some problems

          • I was warned on the forum that there are still missing packages in the raspberry pi maintained bullseye repos (that's independent of the debian Bullseye release and repos)
          • Raspberry Pi haven't previously supported upgrades to new OS versions
          • The package python3-sdl2 that is needed by the RetroPi installer doesn't install because of unmet dependencies (at least last week when I tried)
          • No, the blank screen issue is not fixed (yet?)

          However, it will be good that kms becomes the default. I wonder how long until the RetroPie install script will support it [the bullseye distro]? 🤔

            I think we have to wait for an official bullseye Raspberry Pi OS image (2-4 months from now), and then for a RetroPie image based on the former.

              @busywait I only tried 32 bit and retroarch wouldn't compile due to missing sdl2 dependancies until I used this repo https://github.com/joolswills/RetroPie-Setup/tree/sdl_2.0.16

                Just as an update, the official bullseye Raspberry Pi OS image was just released.

                  @devs: just to get an idea: as soon as bullseye will be the base of retropie: will we have to build a new image, or will buster be upgradable to bullseye?

                    New image, as always.
