Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement

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 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.

[Slythief]

@pjft

Nothing happens unfortunately.

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

[Slythief]

@pjft

Well, is there another solution instead of going with Bookworm?

[pjft]

@Slythief Not on the Pi5, and not that I'm aware of. Unsure if you'd have a better experience installing Ubuntu, but I don't have any experience - nor knowledge - about that to share.

Problem solved:

Add 1080p_audio.bin to usr/lib/firmware.

Add this line to cmdline.txt:

drm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:1080p_audio.bin video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D

Now everything works smoothly at 1080p.

1080p_audio.bin:

If you have no sound:

From Emulation Station -> Retropie -> Audio and choose the last option.Reboot.

Serious question
Can it play CARNEVIL?
What mame would it need?

[sugarfree]

A new RPi5 with 2gb ram is out :

Probably quite useful in the context of emulation. Even Dolphin's system requirements is only 2GB Ram

Playable enough with Mame2003 Plus. Here's a video from @Widge playing it

[Jiryn]

@mitu Thank you!
I thougth 2010 would be better for this.

I find the following interesting and am sharing it here in case anyone wants to try it: NUMA Emulation speeds up the Pi 5.

It also looks like we'll have an official implementation soon.:https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=376730

@sugarfree Oh, wow. That is cool!

I wonder if that'll help Saturn 3D games run at 60fps rather than the current 55fps, and (unlikely), seeing Time Crisis on MAME running full-speed as well would be fantastic.

@sugarfree I did the update late last night but I didn't necessarily see any big improvements but tbf I was only looking at GameCube stuff which seems more a raw gpu bottleneck than anything else. I imagine compiling will be faster which is nice though
