Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement

@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"

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

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.

@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

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

No, it's not true.

@DTEAM It supports it. Just set the video driver in RetroArch to Vulkan and create an override for the core or game. An exception to this is the standalone PPSSPP that needs x11.

I don't have Vulkan as an option in RetroArch Drivers-> Video . I only see (gl, sdl2 and glcore)

sugarfree

@DTEAM Yes, in the current state of development, you have to manually add the green lines from this commit to enable Vulkan:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/3785/commits/1b98fb55250bb02ac55f47288d1fb84990a93bc5. After that reinstall RetroArch .

@sugarfree

PPSSPP works for me with your advises and this command line in emulators.cfg

ppsspp_test = "XINIT-WM: /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp; /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp/PPSSPPSDL --fullscreen %ROM%; popd"

For NAOMI, Atomiswave and Dreamcast it doesn't work (won't load), but now I see the Vulkan option in the RetroArch driver selection.
Should I select something else in the RetroArch GUI or it's something to add in the command line?

sugarfree

@DTEAM Try reinstalling lr-flycast-dev and test with this emulator again.

Good news that we can run standalone PPSSPP under Vulkan. Performance is better than with Libretro. I hope this solution will be permanent because Vulkan provides a great boost to PSP games.

Thanks, now it works!!! Big difference in performance

I don't know for standalone MAME if anything is feasible for Vulkan. Will see

This is a great shout, it always bugged me that ppsspp wasn't working in vulkan simply due to a longstanding bug. It's good this windowing function gets around that. God of War for example plays at 60fps in vulkan without needing to turn on frameskipping.

In OpenGL it's stuck around the 45-50fps

Good Morning Friends,

yesterday i started to do the manual installation for the first time by using the linked tutorial.
Everything went good so far, i also followed the recommendation to add "kernel=kernel8.img" to the config.txt of the boot folder.

Only issue i have...my Raspberry Pi5 does not show up in my Wifi-Devices List :/
To understand: i dont use a PC / SSH to add files to my Pi, i use my smartphone via WIFI and a File-Commander.
I never had this issue with the Pis 1-4, so i think i forgot something which is enabled by default in the official images.
Is there any option to be activated to make the Pi visible in the connected WIFI-Device-List?

Thanks in advance and have a great day!

pjft

@sirhenrythe5th Well, I cannot really speak for the exact use case you're going for - I'd search for broadcast settings online - but have you checked if you can connect to SSH via the IP? Meaning, getting a SSH client and trying to connect? I seem to recall that SSH comes turned off by default in more recent Rapsberry OS releases, so it'll be a good first step to check whether it's active but undiscoverable, or whether it's not discoverable because it's inactive.

Just a thought.

Install and enable the Samba shares module.
