Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement

@retropieuser555 i do it "the retro way" :)
I typed the phrases by my own and update the values sometimes.
AFAIK there is no syntax as we know i.e. from the PSN-Trophy-Cards which can be copied and pasted in your signature.

@retropieuser555
Anyone have a good case for a PI5 with NVME Hat?
I took your advice and grabbed a 2TB NVME + PI Hat.

Now I just need a case.

Grabbed this from MicroCenter for $15 on sale

[retropieuser555]

@Jiryn there's cases I've seen on Etsy but I don't think there's anything official yet for the pimoroni base. I just use it without a case at the moment

@retropieuser555
This one might?
Any point n the active cooling when the hat is installed?

Hi I installed Retropie by following this tutorial:

https://github.com/danielfreer/raspberrypi5-retropie-setup

Everything is functional I'm delighted BUT I can't change the resolution, I searched a bit on the forum, tried dozens of changes in config.txt but nothing changes.

I would just like to set it to 1920x1080 on my TV.

Thanks!

@Slythief .

To change the resolution, add to the end of cmdline.txt !file the following:

video=HDMI-A-1:"add_your_width"x"add_your_height"M@"add_your_refresh_rate"

Example for 1080p 60HZ resolution:

video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60

Also, don't forget to add in the end of /boot/firmware/config.txt file this line :

kernel=kernel8.img

[Slythief]

@sugarfree

Thank you for your quick response.

Unfortunately this doesn't work; I don't understand why.

When the Pi boots up and the fan is running at full speed, it displays correctly but once ES is started it is the wrong resolution.

[sugarfree]

@Slythief It should work. Can you post the cmdline.txt file? Do the games have the correct resolution?

[Slythief]

@sugarfree

The games work but not in 1920x1080, I have to go to a lower resolution so that the image does not overflow the screen.

cmdline:

console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=24658be2-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60

@Slythief At this stage, I assume that an image would be helpful as I think different people are reading a different problem from your statements, including yourself. From your last statement, I am assuming this is actually an overscan issue, that you'd adjust on config.txt, setting overscan to 1 and adding overscan to it (negative or positive, depending on what you're observing).

[Slythief]

@pjft

Thank you for your answer, I will try! Will an official image be available?

[ExarKunIv]

@Slythief said in Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement:

Will an official image be available?

at some point yes, when we don't know

[Slythief]

@ExarKunIv

I hope it arrives quickly.

I noticed that I was not the only one to have resolution issues but none of the proposed solutions worked.

Overscan doesn't work either, no matter the value nothing happens.

[sugarfree]

I think the overscan settings don't work at all in Bookworm right now.

[Slythief]

@sugarfree

Yes that's what I think

[pjft]

@Slythief Can you share a screenshot, though? That would be tremendously helpful. Thanks!

[Slythief]

@pjft

a TV screenshot to show what's happening?

[pjft]

@Slythief Yes. And a copy of your config.txt file while we're at it :)

[Slythief]

@pjft

config.txt: https://pastebin.com/ax7uKHeE

[pjft]

@Slythief Yes, this is overscan related.

set

disable_overscan=0

and then add

overscan_left=32
overscan_right=32
overscan_top=32
overscan_bottom=32

and see if anything changes.
