Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement

pjft

@sugarfree Well, I haven't tried a lot of games to be honest, and when I did it was early in the Pi5 lifecycle. Die Hard Arcade was definitely one of them, but I seem to recall that Virtua Cop 2 also fell in the same bucket, at least. Other games I am likely to have tried were Sega Rally/Daytona/Radiant Silvergun, and I want to believe that if any had been able to run consistently at 60fps I'd remember. At the time we only had one Saturn emulator running on the Pi5 64-bit OS, lr-beetle-saturn I think? Do we now have yabause/yabasanshiro, libretro or standalone, or is it still just the one?

sugarfree

@pjft We have two emulators, lr-beetle-saturn and lr-yabause, that have lower accuracy but can run some games faster. For example, Die Hard Arcade runs at full speed (but without sound).
I hope it's possible to install lr-yabasasnhiro or the standalone yabashashiro to bridge the gap with lr-beetle-saturn.

Update:After applying the NUMA patch, Die Hard Arcade (USA) bin/cue runs at full speed (60 FPS) with the Beetle Saturn emulator. There were no improvements with Virtual Fighter. Maybe some games would benefit from this patch. I was wrong, sorry.

Quick comment: On Pi5 , with lr-flycast-dev, you can run Naomi2 with Vulkan and at fullspeed (or almost) with good sound quality if you set Auto Skip Frame to Maximum in

Retroarch UI --> quick menu/core options/Performance

@DTEAMhave you tried Wild Riders on that? I've found with standalone flycast there's a handful of Naomi2 games it can't really run, Wild Riders being one of them. When you do jumps or there's a ton on screen it slows down a lot

@sugarfree Oh, I hadn't seen the edit and was coming here to try out the NUMA patches as well but, in that case, I'll stay put :) Still, I updated lr-yabause, lr-beetle-saturn and while we're at it lr-flycast-dev per @DTEAM 's recommendation. Thanks!

Yes, big improvement for that game too with that setup. All Naomi2 games run normally .

New edit: I also installed the NUMA patch and my Pi5 is "overclocked" , I don't know how useful this is.

#new overclock
over_voltage_delta=50000
arm_freq=3000
gpu_freq=1000

For Flycast, in emulator.cfg, create a line for the system UI

flycast-editor = "/opt/retropie/emulators/flycast/flycast --config window:fullscreen=yes"

In the UI, you can set your controller, the language and also, you can set performance in "video" ---> Performance, Automatic Frame Skipping to "Maximum"

Wild Riders and the other games will be playable for NAOMI2

I haven't tested lr-flycast vs flycast for overall performance. For Wild Riders. quickly, I don't see a big difference. Graphics are better with flycast, but less choppy with lr-flycast (almost perfect) even if it's very good with Flycast.

Maybe for other games, it's better with Flycast, I don't know.

@DTEAM yeah you don't need an dedicated editor function necessarily; you can just set a hotkey for getting into the flycast GUI, like with ppsspp and make the adjustments for either global or per game settings. But I will give it a try in a few weeks, in the middle of a house move so don't have access to pi stuff

Hello. I would like to ask if someone has installed RetroPie on a 2GB board? Thanks.

Master Dev

@mitu not exactly playable when it crashes before the end of the game

mitu

@Master-Dev Not sure what you're referring to.

Master Dev

@mitu carnevil crashes before u can finish the game

mitu

@Master-Dev Good to know.

sugarfree

Splashscreens are working again with RPi 5 and Bookworm. Many thanks to Devs!

Master Dev

@sugarfree splashscreens??

sugarfree

@Master-Dev Splash screens are images that appear when the system is booting.

How well does the 3D0 run on this?
Seems like it should be a simple thing.

It is. Most games run great with lr-opera.

Retrodade

@sugarfree Thats great! good news! also are there bezels?

mitu

@Retrodade RetroPie doesn't include Bezels, but you can install them yourself from the Bezel Project - https://github.com/thebezelproject/BezelProject.
