Raspberry Pi 5 - official announcement
-
@windg at this point I just want to play some ps2 ditties that I never got to play. Metal Gear Solid 2&3. Need to finish Silent Hill 3 and 4. Some Wii games would be good too. I'm guessing Nintendo 3DS is out the question?
-
Heya.
Where can I pre-ordered one today?
https://www.raspberrypi.com/resellers/
Not seeing the Pi 5 in those as of yet.
I live in the US.
-
i still haven't tried the games i wanted to play after the release of the Pi4 :p
-
@Addison Did you try to search for a aproved reseller by region ? It give me a lot of choises for the USA.
-
I clicked on a few stores but only saw the Pi 4 available.
Didn't go through each and every one of them though.
I'll look again.
-
Ooh.
Finally found one available after the 11th store attempt.
4 GB

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/23551I pre-ordered two 8s and it gave me free shipping. :)
-
@Addison I was able to preorder mine through Vilros.com. I even found a discount code online for use with Vilros that saved me $8.
-
@quicksilver Now they are sold out on Vilros..lol
-
Must have been late to that party since they showed they were all sold out at the time.
Glad you scored one though. :)
Edit:
What ByteThis said. :P
-
Doesn't help for US orders but I pre-ordered from pimoroni.
So the next PI OS is built on Debian Bookworm? I guess it may also become the OS version that is usable on the pi4 as well eventually? Or it's inevitable that the pi4 will stick on buster and when there's a new Retropie build for pi5 on a while that will be on the new bookworm based OS?

Just as with previous releases for RaspiOS/Raspbian, the Bookworm release will support all Pi models. It's been in beta testing for a while and, when released, will support every Pi model.
Or it's inevitable that the pi4 will stick on buster and when there's a new Retropie build for pi5 on a while that will be on the new bookworm based OS?
No, I don't think so. We try to use the same OS release for all Pi models.
-
While waiting for a month, can I early buy this casing for the upcoming 5?
I have that both for my current 4s and it's really quite nice.
It's the best case design in my opinion.
Linky for that purchase:

@Addison It's only compatible with RPi4. RPi5 and RPi4 boards have differences.

They're not compatible. The Pi5 has the LAN port on the left, just like on PI3, has no analog jack output and the extra power button will not be available with a Pi4 case. Read the announcement for more details.

@dodonpachi I didn't really notice a giant difference in ppsspp either but he was running at 3x resolution, whereas I think 2x is the max on pi4 generally? Although I know I enabled on autoframeskip as well on pi4. I don't think he outlined what settings he used. He was using the version that Retropie points to, v1.13.2 maybe?
I guess running at the newer ppssp version that's in the RetroPie Extras and building with Vulkan would give some further improvements?
-
@retropieuser555 He was running God of War at 1x resolution and Tekken at 3x resolution. He wasn't using frame-skip at all.
I found anther video that is a couple of years old and God of War ran in the mid 20s FPS on a stock Pi 4.
He'll probably drop a Dolphin video soon, hopefully we can make some comparisons with the experiments some of us made here with Dolphin on the Pi 4.
-
Wow, just recognized the Pi5 will be released next week :O
Out of nothing...i love this Modus Opperandi of Upton and his company....: surprise surprise! :DI could imagine this will end in a similar situation as we had with the Pi4 (which is no problem for me personal, i will have patience as i had with the Pi4):
lots of threads like
"(...)when will retropie be released for the Pi5??? I cant wait - speed up!(...)"I wont order a Pi5 now as i only use the Pis for my beloved Retropie-Project, which will take some time to show up on this new device.

Yup, and by that time another Pi5-board revision may be out (whatever it is that may be faulty this time or with allowance for higher clock-rates due to some design changes (or whatever it was that led to the arm-boost=1 config.txt option)) ;)
-
Lots of early Pi5 emulation here. Looks like he had some trouble still with N64. No Dolphin or PS2 footage yet.
-
@George-Spiggott I would hold off on making more videos until the software is more mature. I'll assume that when pi os bookworm is released, it still won't have the latest version of the mesa/vulkan drivers.
Luckily, the pikiss dev has said that he'll update his repo with pi5 support when he can. You can install the drivers from his repo.
Will Retropie ever include custom mesa/vulkan drivers like what Redream has?
