Emulation On The Raspberry Pi 5 Is Already Really Good! Pi5 EMU Testing

In this video we tae alook at some emulation on the new Raspberry pi 5! N64, PSP, Dreamcast and GBA for now but as soon as RetroPie and Batocera is ready for the raspberry pi 5 we will be testing that also.

So development is moving fast! Recallbox is now available! I’ll have a video coming soon.

FYI the 16K page size might be an issue with some of the emulators. You can force Pi OS 12 to use the more compatible 4K page size though; try adding kernel=kernel8.img in your config.txt and reboot. Confirm if it's 16k or 4K by running uname -a after reboot.

When emulators catch up to this I so want to build another mini-game box. Building the Pi 4, which was a big moment for me because I'm more software savvy than hardware savvy, was awesome. I WANNA DO IT AGAIN. <3

[Wezleigh]

I imagine Emulation will likely be a touch better once lakka is updated for it. I already have a dedicated SD card for it on my pi4

Nice to see Raspberry Pi on the channel again. This brings me back to when I first subbed to your channel in 2018 and the 3B+ was still the king. Before the Steam Deck and other handhelds took over, everyone wanted to make their own bartop arcade or Minty Pi. Fun times. I still have mine but planning to replace it with a mini Ryzen.

I am hoping they update the Pi 400 and come out with a Pi 500 or something based off the Pi 5 once software and drivers start to mature.

[XanYT]

PS2 and Gamecube would be dope on this. Here's to hoping they are possible.

[Phoenix]

I’m getting major flashbacks to your 2017 content man. It’s all come full circle 🤘🏻😎💯

[DADSAR]

Cant wait to see how development progresses with the pi5. How do you think before we see an official batocera build?

[HandheldHardware]

Nice!!! I love rogue squadrons and this plays pretty well! This could be a really good emulation box

[_bob_]

This is prefect timing, order one for my son as a way to get into retro gaming with emulation. I know a thing or two about emulating I have 15 systems and 15, 000 games on a LG Wing.

[KingM]

Wouldve been dope to see what emulators work on the 5 that doesnt already work pretty well on the 4

[yanm]

Thank you ETA for that nice video and that smooth radio voice. Love it! Can't wait to buy a Pi 5

[thepajc]

Thanks ETA, I just heard about the PI5 and I’m really hoping for PS2 emulation. I know you”ll keep us updated.

[JimmysCubicle]

so excited soon as i saw this! can't wait to see what is possible with this new Pi 5.

[JustGoodGames.]

With on-board Mesa and with Vulkan drivers… I’m hopeful. I was running a Pi 4 with super Mario sunshine at idk 15 fps through wine on a super old Dolphin build. Lotta possibilities now.

[bigfriki]

I hope things improve considerably regarding emulation. So far this seems very lackluster.

[impossiblescissors]

Pi 5 seems like a brute force solution to N64 emulation. Many of us hoped that most N64 games would be playable on Pi 4, but the emulator never felt optimized for that hardware.

[spakey]

As far as emulation is concerned I think mini PCs is much better option

[Jokerwolf]

I can only imagine what we'll see running on the Pi 5 in the next few months
