Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement

@Jiryn What mame is used?
I would say the same as on the other images, so either 2003 as a default (which imho should be replaced with m2k3+, but that is just me and my 2ct) or the ones you install via retropie-setup (and personally i doubt that a pi5 will perform well on current-mame, but maybe at least be playable for some older titles (e.g. even asteroid with newer mame(s) (.251 was the last version I tried on the pi4) wasn't really playable)

@Jiryn An overclocked pi4 ran system32 games on mame2016. With a pi5, I'm using fbneo. I wouldn't use mame2003 again unless you want to play Killer Instinct or similar games.

Hi Mitu,

I can't get sound with USB audio. Is there a way to set it on the Pi5. Am I the only one having this problem?

Probably not, but also unlikely it's a Pi5 specific issue. Open a separate topic and post the details of your problem and system, along with any configuration you may have tried.

Question, Does OpenBor work on pi5?
I'm not getting mine to load, is this a pi5 issue that's still being sorted?

@DTEAM Follow this procedure, works on my Pi5.

Apologies if this is unrelated, but I have never been able to get neogeo working on the pi 5. I am using fbneo as the emulator, and trying to run it from "neogeo" as a system, not from the arcade system menu.
This works fine on my pi 4.
Any ideas?

No related to Pi5. Please open a separate topic and provide the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu thanks and apologies.

@Darksavior
I was using FBNeo for everything, but System 32 seems slow.
I think I was using Mame2010 and still getting some weird results on games like Jurassic Park.

Though, I may be remembering wrong since it looks great in my video

Basically, my PI is so I can play and stream Arcade Games, 32X, and legacy consoles I don't own (The Ataris)

DTEAM

does somebody tried solarus aarch64. It seems it exists
https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=solarus(aarch-64) . Is it work for Pi5

mitu

@DTEAM I'm not really sure why the 64 bit restriction is in place for Solarus, but it seems to build and run. I'll test a few games and see if we can remove that restriction.

DTEAM

@mitu
I confirm. It works well on Pi 5. I tested it with few games . I removed the restriction in the script to run it.

rp_module_id="solarus"
rp_module_desc="Solarus - A lightweight, free and open-source game engine for Action-RPGs"
rp_module_help="Copy your Solarus quests (games) to $romdir/solarus"
rp_module_licence="GPL3 https://gitlab.com/solarus-games/solarus/raw/dev/license.txt"
rp_module_repo="git https://gitlab.com/solarus-games/solarus.git master"
rp_module_section="opt"
#rp_module_flags="!aarch64"

I proposed a "Pull request"

mitu

Solarus should be available now for 64bit, there are no more restrictions for it. @DTEAM thank you for testing.

@retropieuser555
I don't think my case will allow for an SDD.. hell it wouldn't even let me have the official fan/thermal kit

Sadly, I also don't know where to start on self installing.

retropieuser555

@Jiryn unfortunately yes that case doesn't seem to allow for hats.

Manual install follow these instructions https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/

The only extra bit is first you'd need to flash raspberry pi os 64bit lite onto your SD card, then those instructions above will get you retropie onto it with the main packages.

Once installed, I can just add new packages like I've done before through the menus right??

retropieuser555

@Jiryn that's right. The GUI/ emulation station you can head into retropie menu and select setup, that runs the script that you can use to install other retroarch cores and emulators you want

retropieuser555

Oh btw, not sure anyone else has this problem but just an FYI, don't use run ahead with the saturn_beetle core. It absolutely destroys the framerate with that core, at least it did for me. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why Saturn games had suddenly stopped working as well and had forgotten I added in latency run ahead a few weeks back

@mitu

This might be a stupid question, but is it true to say that right now Retropie supports Vulkan via Retropie -Setup for:

Dolphin

and not support Vulkan for

PPSSPP, Lr-PPSSPP, lr-flycast-dev, lr-flycast
