@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?

A new RPi5 with 2gb ram is out :

[retropieuser555]

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.

[retropieuser555]

@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

[mitu]

I don't think the NUMA changes are integrated yet - if https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/6273 is the pending change, is not merged in the RPI kernel.

55 FPS with all 3D games? So far, I've only found two Saturn games that don't run at full speed. One is Die Hard Arcade, and the other is Virtual Fighter. I'm using a 720p 60Hz resolution.
