The removal of h264 isn’t going to go down well for people who use them for under TV boxes. Will be better off with the Pi4 or another device.

Is software decoding not sufficient? My rPi2 could handle h264 through Kodi up to 1080p and I don’t think there was hardware decoding then.

Can you explain this a little bit? I have been looking to buy a Raspberry Pi for emulation on my TV.
magikmw@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Emulation is fine, h264 is often used to codec video, like movies from seven seas.
aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
TL:DR it will have next to no effect on emulation
Indicah@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
So how much is this one going to cost? $80? This company’s greed has gotten out of hand.
PeachMan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Did anybody here actually watch the video? Or did you just come to the comments to bitch?
sebinspace@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I agree that the price is steep but this is an odd hill to pull the vitriol out on

Pi 5 w/ 8GB - $80 Pi 5 Case - $10 Pi 5 Charger - ~$8* UHS1 Micro SD - $5**
Total - $103
That’s pretty steep. I can get a Beelink with an N95, 8 GB of memory, and 256 GB of storage on Amazon, right now, for $127. Comes with intel quick sync, I can upgrade the RAM later if I want, and the SSD isn’t going to corrupt anytime I sneeze.
The Pi Pico and Pi Zero 2 W are still great but their high end Pis don’t make sense anymore.
- based off pi 4 charger ** based off Microcenter website
PeachMan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Then please, buy the Beelink thing so I can get a Pi 5 for projects. I already have chargers, plenty of SD cards, a 3D printer for an enclosure, and a box of 50 heat sinks of various sizes. And I’ll be just fine with the base $60 model, so that’s all I need to spend.

I’m more confused than anything.
I didn’t have a lot of money as a teenager. My family had 1 computer we all shared. I couldn’t tinker with it, what if I broke it? Cheap Pis were the gateway to my lifelong computer hobby. Because of that hobby, I was able to get a job where part of my role is full-stack web dev. I don’t know what I would be doing now if I didn’t have access to cheap Pis when I was younger.
Especially in this economy, those prices just make me sad :/

TLDW?
nodsocket@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Better USB speeds, faster CPU, modular architecture, audio jack is gone, uses more power, has more ribbon ports for camera and display
aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
ribbon for pcie 2.0x1 also

I feel a little bit underwhelmed about Raspberry Pi 5 compared to the Orange Pi 4.
Would it have killed them to throw an nvme m.2 connector on the underside?

What's your point?
Xianshi@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Curious to see what it can emulate with the new specs. I have the steam deck now but the form factor or the pi was always nice.
Kbobabob@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I guess it can now emulate an audio jack.
calavera@lemm.ee 8 months ago
N64 finally?
Eldritch@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Well one of the biggest hurdles to performance on the old raspberry pies with single core performance. So due to the fact that it is a slightly newer node faster etc etc etc it should definitely be better
grue@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Well, it apparently can’t do decent 8- and 16-bit anymore, since they’re ditching the composite video jack for hooking it up to a CRT TV.
llii@feddit.de 8 months ago
You can still solder an video out to the Rpi 5, there’s just no port. So it’s still possible if you really want to.

Whata wrong with running retro games on LCD? The only issue I can see is games that use a light gun.

I am so excited for this new raspberry pi !

thepianistfroggollum@lemmynsfw.com 8 months ago
Yeah, it’s impossible to get a pi4 now for msrp. Maybe they should work out their production issues before launching a new device.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Kind of frustrating that little boards are still hard to get.
Eldritch@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Chances are pi 4 availability will be back after this. Since everyone will be wanting to buy the new one.
