Pi5 RetroPie + PS2 full guide compilation

[@thejustinadler]

great tutorial. this was really easy to follow and everything worked great

[@MakeOrBreakSociety]

Great to hear. Glad it helped

Have just tried this again, for the fifth time now, followed everything precisely, even changed my location and keyboard to America and US to match the video, tried four different versions of the same PS2 bios file, have the same game iso you have in the video, completely ordinary RPi5... and still this doesn't work. AetherSX2 just flashes the blue screen twice and then returns to the RetroPie game selection screen.

AetherSX2 crashed my pi lol. I had to reinstall Ubuntu

[@DarkOutX_IT]

I had the same problem. To fix you need to run aether manually (/opt/retropie/emulators/aethersx2/AetherSX2-v1.5-3606/usr/bin/aethersx2) and select Vulkan as video driver instead of OpenGL But even after that I couldn't reach more than 15FPS so actually still have problems too

I get a 501 error when trying to clone the repo… Any idea why?

[@MakeOrBreakSociety]

make sure you've done the sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade. Also check that the full URL was entered. KZbin keeps turning them into links and shortening them in the description make sure this is after github.com. /RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git Or this depending on what step your on: /Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra.git

[@titomerseth5439]

I resolved it, I realized I could not ping github, or any outside service at all. It was a network issue, probably due to the pi being behind a switch. Thank you for the tutorial !!

@@titomerseth5439 Thanks for the update! Glad you got it working

My PS2 games don’t launch any fixes

[@MakeOrBreakSociety]

Double check the bios. Normally that's the cause. Unless they useto launch then it's normally the renderer if that's the case you need to reinstall aethersx

[@ByViceVr]

@ ok I’ll try

retropie official base has been supported on the pi 5 since oct/november 2023

[@MakeOrBreakSociety]

@@kiodiekin Please read what is on the screen @10:15 that's right from retropie. This is basically a beta. So no it's not "officially supported" once it is they will provide an image and none of this will be necessary

[@kiodiekin]

17 seconds in you said there’s no official base for the pi 5. It’s been made since 2023. Retropie has always been something u needed to compile yourself. It was made bootable and supported. Shortly after release of the pi5. It was listed on there github
