Picade not working on Pi 5 but does on Pi 4, seems starved for power

Hello, I understand that picade isn’t officially supported.
[Edit, officially supported on Pi 5 rather]

I’ve done my best to follow instructions to get it working on my Pi 5 by starting with these instructions:
https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/187ix5n/raspberry_pi_5_and_retropie_installation/

Then following these instructions:

The issue is appears to be something related to how the Pi 5 is handling power.

The Pi LED will start flashing green then go out, then appear to restart and repeat this.

Not a blinking sort of way but a “help me I don’t have enough power” sort of way.

Giving the screen it’s own USB power source doesn’t help this.

I can pop the picade hat off and stick it on a pi 4 and everything just works which leads me to believe this is a configuration issue.

I’ve done the “usb_max_current_enable=1” thing and it didn’t do the trick.

Are there any triaging suggestions you can give me?

Or am I better waiting for an official version to be made available.

Thank you!
