Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement

Rockofan96

@Jiryn That’s cool. I’m hoping it can run sega Saturn games better. But I’m also hoping to run some games I couldn’t run before on the pi 3 and 4. These games include CarnEvil, Killer instinct 1 and 2 for the arcade, Killer instinct gold for N64, and others. Not to mention, I’m hoping it runs windows 98 a little better while running the dosboxpure core. As for the ps2, and GameCube games, I’m planning to download it so I can play some mods.

Jiryn

@Rockofan96 I still have those systems, ODE modded.
But I fully agree with your games, Killer Instinct 1 and 2m CarnEval, stuff from the mid 90s would be awesome.
Not sure about N64 games.

Yes, being the only one that supports the Pi5.

@mitu everything in here I read is exciting, looking forward to an official base

@miremi hopefully if not in official, ps2 will end up in an extras installer loved watching this thanks for the video

Nice! Let me know when you have something testable, than for me it’s ok to buy a pi5 and test

@mitu are we likely to see emulators for the gamecube, wii, ps2 and 3ds on the Pi 5? or even the ps vita?

@duglor

You can install lr-dolphin and dolphin emulators, to play Gamecube and Wii games, i can compare performance with N64 on RPi3. Take a look on this topic: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35203/dolphin-gamecube-wiiware-wii-compatibility-on-pi-5

Vita i don't think it can emulated in Rpi5.
I don't know about 3DS, the situation after shutdown of yuzu affect this project too.

duglor

@abj Very nice and thank you for the information. How about PS-2 emulation?
be well!

@duglor It is possible to run some Ps2 games with the use of AetherSX2 emulator but i haven't test it yet.

A scriptmodule is under development, see : https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra/pull/181

ExarKunIv

@duglor the script is WIP, so it might need some editing and tweaking.

i am testing it

abj

I test some games with AetherSX2 and the resuLts aRe better that i expect.

Games that are working fine are:

GTA: San Andreas
Ico
Onimusha 2 (in software mode)
Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 4
Legaia 2
Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness
Breath Of Fire V (in software mode)

Excuse me folks, but I do have one question regarding the Pi 5. Once we get an official image for the pi 5, will Vulkan be one of the available video drivers? No rush, I’m just curious and I’d thought I ask you.

abj

@Rockofan96

I believe yes. Check this commit : https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/3785

Rockofan96

@abj Thank you. I’m excited for it.

Guys, when can we expect first ISO image for pi5?

ExarKunIv

@JozoBozo there is no ETA
a fellow member has posted that he made one, its somewhere above. right now thats the closet one right now

Thanks for adding the change to the mupen64plus standalone script. That's now building and loading for me successfully.

Testing the standalone mupen64plus I've found I can run games like Majora's Mask, Snowboard Kids, Super Mario 64 at 4x native resolution, so it looks quite nice and higher than the retroarch core is able to handle
