      For xbox360 controllers you need the xpad driver. If you configured the controller before installing the driver, then reset the controllers and try again.

      So far i don't have audio issues or i didn't noticement. The only thing i did was to choose from audio settings the Hdmi0 during the manual instillation.

      I can't confirm the issue with SDL, maybe because my system is not configured for multiarch.

      The best saturn emulator is lr-beetle-saturn.

      RetroPie-Extra repo is not ready yet for RPi5 . I have test lr-melods and lr-swanstation only and both are working great.

        Just to follow up on Extras. I've installed these that have worked:-

        ppsspp-dev
        Fallout1 & 2
        lr-melonds

        I'd also echo above and agree beetle-saturn is your best bet

          A lot of the RetroPie-Extras don't work anymore because of changed depends. Sometimes it's easy to change them, othertimes no so much.

          i do have a pi5 now, and will be working on my things soon. i have one last project im trying to finish before i dive into that.

          EDIT

          for everyone who is trying out the scripts from RetroPie-Extras. Please open a issue or discussions on my github and list the ones that work.
          that will be a smaller list, :D

          EDIT AGAIN, LOL

          Here is a discussion page i started for Pi5 testing of the scripts

          RPi3B+ / 200GB/ RetroPie v4.5.14, RPi4 Model B 4gb / 256gb / RetroPie 4.8.2

                SDL always wants to compile from source with every new installation of almost any core. And then it messes up the installed SDL version. Don't know if that has to do with my system being configured for multiarch (see next point)

                It's a known issue and - unfortunately - without an easy fix. See https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/3731#issuecomment-1668685919.

                  Here is a recent article regarding V3DV Vulkan Driver update for Dynamic Rendering.

                  Not trying to get my hopes up, but is this the major update to Mesa that we've been waiting for to help boost performance of some emulators?

                    @mitu Ah, yes. That's what it is. Thanks for the link!

                    Aside from the SDL problem (see mitu's link), it is pretty straight forward. I followed the guides on the box86 repository for installing wine. There are scripts for downloading and installing it which are quite helpful. I still did it mostly by hand because I need different wine versions side by side.
                    For now it seems that you should stay below wine 8.

                        I don't think so.

                          So i got AetherSX2 working on raspberry pi 5 with raspberry pi os without need to install Ubuntu. So now i have retropie working and AetherSX2 from desktop. 70% of games in my library works perfectly mostly above 50fps and some 3d demanding games 30+ fps.

                          Now my idea is to try to launch games from retropie instead of going to desktop. Has anyone idea how to launch games from retropie and start external emulator like dolphin works🤔?

                            Does anyone know when Retropie will support Pi 5?

                            I am having a heck of a time connecting my wireless controllers to the sd card i am trying .

                            Thank you

                              @erdoc789 unfortunately no. There is no ETA or even a guess.

                              Batocera has a beta. But that's all I know of.

                                  @Jiryn Now now, I understand how much we want Retropie on the raspberry pi 5. But we can’t rush these things can we? Besides, we can always install it manually. But I’m much more comfortable with an official image compatible with the pi. You know, better safe than sorry. What games are you looking forward to running on the pi 5?

                                    Instead to wait, why not to try a manual installation ? The process is very simple, you need only few time.

                                    Just follow this guide : https://github.com/danielfreer/raspberrypi5-retropie-setup . It is the same as the official one, but the person who wrote it added pictures to help new users more.

                                        I will brake the rules if i open a topic to Project and Themes section, and share my Pi5 image to help new users that aren't familiar with the process of manual installation of RetroPie? It will be 100% clean (no bios, games, metadata) unofficial image without guaranties.

                                          I also have the same question -

                                          I also followed the same guide https://github.com/danielfreer/raspberrypi5-retropie-setup

                                          and have my Pi5 setup without any issues so far.

                                          I also modified the n64 per https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/187ix5n/raspberry_pi_5_and_retropie_installation/

                                          /opt/retropie/configs/n64/retroarch.cfg
                                          parallel-n64-cpucore = "cached_interpreter"

                                            Did you add the following line to the config. txt file? If you haven't i recommend to add it :

                                            from terminal window run:

                                            nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
                                            

                                            and add in the end :

                                            kernel=kernel8.img
