Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement
-
@dodonpachi said in Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement:
@mitu Does that include installations with third party apps like Etcher, or pre-built images from the usual suspects?
Of course not, those are RPI Imager stats only.
-
@mitu I was one of the people who got Pi 5 Hardware in advance - i dont have a great need for it, so would be happy to send it to the developers of retropie if it would help get the upgrade moving.
I was only going to use it to make a retro console anyway.. -
Dreamcast and PSP Emulation test at 9:59. I long since sold my Pi 4. How does this compare with an overclocked Pi 4?
-
@George-Spiggott Dreamcast was okay on 4, so I don't see too big of a difference. PSP, however, is significantly better. Tekken runs much smoother than before.
-
@windg This was the first thing I thought of as well, and I am super excited at the prospect of that!
-
@windg at this point I just want to play some ps2 ditties that I never got to play. Metal Gear Solid 2&3. Need to finish Silent Hill 3 and 4. Some Wii games would be good too. I'm guessing Nintendo 3DS is out the question?
-
Heya.
Where can I pre-ordered one today?
https://www.raspberrypi.com/resellers/
Not seeing the Pi 5 in those as of yet.
I live in the US.
-
i still haven't tried the games i wanted to play after the release of the Pi4 :p
-
@Addison Did you try to search for a aproved reseller by region ? It give me a lot of choises for the USA.
-
I clicked on a few stores but only saw the Pi 4 available.
Didn't go through each and every one of them though.
I'll look again.
-
Ooh.
Finally found one available after the 11th store attempt.
4 GB

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/23551I pre-ordered two 8s and it gave me free shipping. :)
-
@Addison I was able to preorder mine through Vilros.com. I even found a discount code online for use with Vilros that saved me $8.
-
@quicksilver Now they are sold out on Vilros..lol
-
Must have been late to that party since they showed they were all sold out at the time.
Glad you scored one though. :)
Edit:
What ByteThis said. :P
-
Doesn't help for US orders but I pre-ordered from pimoroni.
So the next PI OS is built on Debian Bookworm? I guess it may also become the OS version that is usable on the pi4 as well eventually? Or it's inevitable that the pi4 will stick on buster and when there's a new Retropie build for pi5 on a while that will be on the new bookworm based OS?

Just as with previous releases for RaspiOS/Raspbian, the Bookworm release will support all Pi models. It's been in beta testing for a while and, when released, will support every Pi model.
Or it's inevitable that the pi4 will stick on buster and when there's a new Retropie build for pi5 on a while that will be on the new bookworm based OS?
No, I don't think so. We try to use the same OS release for all Pi models.
-
While waiting for a month, can I early buy this casing for the upcoming 5?
I have that both for my current 4s and it's really quite nice.
It's the best case design in my opinion.
Linky for that purchase:

@Addison It's only compatible with RPi4. RPi5 and RPi4 boards have differences.
-

They're not compatible. The Pi5 has the LAN port on the left, just like on PI3, has no analog jack output and the extra power button will not be available with a Pi4 case. Read the announcement for more details.

@dodonpachi I didn't really notice a giant difference in ppsspp either but he was running at 3x resolution, whereas I think 2x is the max on pi4 generally? Although I know I enabled on autoframeskip as well on pi4. I don't think he outlined what settings he used. He was using the version that Retropie points to, v1.13.2 maybe?
I guess running at the newer ppssp version that's in the RetroPie Extras and building with Vulkan would give some further improvements?
