Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement

@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

This one might?
Any point n the active cooling when the hat is installed?https://www.amazon.com/GeeekPi-Raspberry-Support-Shield-Peripheral/dp/B0CYNX2P9Z/?encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=BecJE&content-id=amzn1.sym.f8fbf489-893c-481c-b7fa-18e0b0ecaa0c%3Aamzn1.symc.a68f4ca3-28dc-4388-a2cf-24672c480d8f&pf_rd_p=f8fbf489-893c-481c-b7fa-18e0b0ecaa0c&pf_rd_r=6V55R1CRTT21WS4Q0429&pd_rd_wg=Ye0lG&pd_rd_r=11fcddbe-b146-48a4-b5a4-025ff39fd026&ref=pd_hp_d_atf_ci_mcx_mr_ca_hp_atf_d

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!
-
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
-
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.
-
@Slythief It should work. Can you post the cmdline.txt file? Do the games have the correct resolution?
-
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).
-
Thank you for your answer, I will try! Will an official image be available?
-
@Slythief said in Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement:
Will an official image be available?
at some point yes, when we don't know
-
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.
-
I think the overscan settings don't work at all in Bookworm right now.
-
Yes that's what I think
-
@Slythief Can you share a screenshot, though? That would be tremendously helpful. Thanks!
-
a TV screenshot to show what's happening?
-
@Slythief Yes. And a copy of your config.txt file while we're at it :)
-
config.txt: https://pastebin.com/ax7uKHeE
-
@Slythief Yes, this is overscan related.
set
disable_overscan=0
and then add
overscan_left=32
overscan_right=32
overscan_top=32
overscan_bottom=32and see if anything changes.
-
Nothing happens unfortunately.

@Slythief Got it. Was reading up on it, seems to be an issue with Bookworm indeed. Sorry about that.
