Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm Released

RapidEdwin08

@retropieuser555 I tried several branches that I had luck with on other builds/devices, including the latest, and they all had same issue on Pi Bookworm, fails to set any/all video modes when loading.

#rp_module_repo="git https://voidpoint.io/terminx/eduke32.git master a9c797dcb60d4dfa2e21aed09e498132e59282ba"
#rp_module_repo="git https://voidpoint.io/terminx/eduke32.git master d890364d76e1553ae7d8b5b2fbef5e333c6d6123"
#rp_module_repo="git https://voidpoint.io/terminx/eduke32.git master 17844a2f651d4347258ae2fe59ec42dc3110506e"
#rp_module_repo="git https://voidpoint.io/dgurney/eduke32.git master 76bc19e2e55023ea5a17c212eab0e1e5db217315"

dgurney was the only one that actually works/loads after compile, but skyboxes are broken,
The rest do not load, feel free to try yourself, may be there's a newer version will work.

Edit: I did not try "3191b5f41670ee9341f0298e155172c0ef760031"
I thought "17844a2f651d4347258ae2fe59ec42dc3110506e" was newest commit...

@RapidEdwin08 Ah you're right, I didn't notice you were looking at different user's forks, that makes sense. I'll mess around tomorrow at home, but we could just use the https://voidpoint.io/sirlemonhead/eduke32 fork if that's what works?

RapidEdwin08

@retropieuser555 Exactly, just replace with sirlemonhead fork, and #comment# out all the patches/diffs.

Don't bother trying to build Ion Fury from Experimental Section, it fails with FURY=1, but it will play just fine with this fork of eduke32.

Ion Fury .sh

_PORT_ "duke3d" "-gamegrp /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/ionfury/fury.grp -game_dir /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/ionfury"

It would compile OK, but would not load at all, Log showed issues attempting to set any/all Video Modes.

It seems to start with a strange video mode, but after changing it from the game menu, it works for me. I'll take a look later on to see why it's not working right from the start.

Please elaborate, what setting did you change where?
I couldn't get the game to load at all to access the game menu?
I ask because this 0ld branch is still the only one that plays BloodCM for me.

The video resolution, under the Display -> Video Mode menu.

ppsspp/lr-ppsspp fail to compile using v1.13.2, but both build fine using v1.16.6, plays well too.

@RapidEdwin08 Ah I got mupen64plus to function by adding in this:- https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/3576 I didn't touch or add anything Vulkan related.

Any differences noticed btw? Compared to 32bit Buster RetroPie on pi 4, 007 Goldeneye definitely has a small speed boost. Couple of stutters playing Dam, before I'm sure the Dam was basically unplayable it was so slow.

Facility and Runway solid 60fps, no stutters.

Also was able to get Super Mario 64 upto UseNativeResolutionFactor = 3 in mupen64plus-GLideN64-highres and it still played at the 30fps it runs at. Don't think that is possible on 32 buster. Was running with an overclock on both systems if memory serves.

@retropieuser555
I did try PSP BlazBlue Continuum Shift II + Prinny Can I Really Be The Hero, and man they were both Flying out-of-the-box not touching any Settings.
I actually have not tried anything for N64 yet, but if you really want a test try out Dinosaur Planet.

For mupen64plus, I got the fix from here could-not-successfully-build-mupen64plus.
I had the same error mentioned there, and same resolution.
I did not touch the swap settings, and upon looking it's already set to a static 750.

lr-dosbox fails to compile instantly with multiple errors:
ISO C++17 does not allow dynamic exception specifications

lr-mame2015/lr-mame2016 fail to compile with this error:
error: Cannot read opcodes file src/emu/cpu/mcs96/mcs96ops.lst [invalid mode: 'rU']

Appears to be due to issue with referencing 'rU' with Python 3.11.
For a fix I got lazy and just decided to stream edit on the fly and replace '~~rU'~~ with 'r' in all the *.py scripts in the source I found that referenced 'rU'
Note: They are the same *.py scripts for both, but in different locations.

The strange thing that i have saw with Bookworm Lite is that is missing overscan settings and resolution settings in config.txt file. I don't know if this is intented or a bug of Pi OS devs.

dodonpachi

Glad to hear Retropie sort of already works right out of the box -- but I presume you all are testing this on a Pi 4, and not a 5?

I actually have not tried anything for N64 yet, but if you really want a test try out Dinosaur Planet.

Just gave Dinosaur Planet (02-05-23 enhanced version) a quick 10 min go this morning. The framerate counter is very low but given it's an unfinished game from Rare where they went as close to the max of the N64 without the console falling over that's not surprising.

The audio didn't stutter at all; it's probably running how the game is supposed to run as far as I can tell. I don't have an n64 or flashcart anymore to test that.

@dodonpachi yup, 64bit Bookworm Lite built on a pi4. I have preordered a pi 5 so will for fun have a go. Assuming anything will build at all, we'll find out

@windg I saw this in the raspi-config and thought it was strange, but then I don't have a TV or display that needs overscan changes so I'm not sure if it's just something that fixes itself or will be a problem for people who need to make that adjustment

It's intended, resolution options have been removed some time ago from raspi-config. The Underscan should still be available, though it's possible it's not shown in all configurations (i.e. 64bit/wayland/etc.)

EDIT: to set manually the resolution, you have to edit the cmdline.txt file and add the options there - https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html#command-line-options.

windg

It looks that overscan settings will not work atleast for now :

From official announcement:
Compensation for displays which use overscan is tricky under Wayland, and we haven’t quite got it working yet, so this has been removed for now. The vast majority of displays nowadays don’t need it, but we will be putting it back when we have worked out how best to do it!

Having a play around with silly stuff that I don't expect to work whatsoever; surprisingly lr-dolphin built and Animal Crossing loaded and the attract screen/demo played at normal 60fps.

Oddly I can't seem to get the controller to work, it's mapped in retroarch Controls but isn't responding (edit also tried changing the keyboard to game focus, still nothing). But I could get into the Retroarch menu with my hotkey combos. I would try other games but I imagine AC is the only thing likely to be playable on the old pi 4.

@RapidEdwin08 thanks for the tests.

PPSSPP was due for an update, it should be fine now after the bump to 1.16.6 (RetroAchievements !)

For mupen64plus, I got the fix from here could-not-successfully-build-mupen64plus.
I had the same error mentioned there, and same resolution.
I did not touch the swap settings, and upon looking it's already set to a static 750.

It depends on how much memory your Pi model has, you won't see the error if you have 4G/8G. Nethertheless, it needs some fixes - mostly for armhf/32bit - to compile.

lr-dosbox fails to compile instantly with multiple errors:
ISO C++17 does not allow dynamic exception specifications

I'll take a look later on, thank you,~~AFAIR dosbox-pure requires a specific GCC version.~~

I haven't tested yet but apparently has CHD support now too, that's good as psp game files seem absolutely giant

Hm, that warrants an update, thanks for catching it.
EDIT: actually, that's in 1.17.0, not in this update. But both .pbp and .cso files (supported right now) support compresion.

retropieuser555

@mitu ahhh yeah sorry you're right, I had the nightly build of PPSSPP, forgot about that. The dev for that emulator seems to update it constantly, always seems to be something new there. You're right though, aside from a couple of games (retro city rampage became 8mb instead of 120 ish, and street fighter came down to 80mb), cso seems to compress roughly the same as chd.

@retropieuser555 What's the latest build date for retropie's PPSSPP?
