How do I connect a Pi5's sound with no more mini jack?

Forgive me... i'm a bit slow sometimes... 
I assume you mean the sound will go through the mini HDMI cable.... right?
Now... I just ordered a Pi5... active cooler... and got an ARpiCADE from Joe before he temp closed down...
I have not one... but two 128GB sdcards to play with.
Is there anything else I will need? I plan on playing with this in the vertical cabinet... but right on the other side of the aisle is the horizontal cabinet I can plug it in to.

Yes the audio is via the HDMI.
You will want to plug the micro HDMI into the connector closest to the Pi power input, the other isn't really setup and will have unexpected results.
Once you have the SD card imaged and resized for the large cards you can select vertical ror or rol (or horizontal) from the service menu with it running (service or f4 once loaded to the menu) to swap orientations.
Otherwise it *should* work like ARpiCADE on Pi3, at least as far as using it goes. A lot has changed in the background but the user experience should be similar to what you're used to. Please let me know if you find anything unexpected. Your monitor may need adjusting compared to the Pi3 as the way low res is done is different so the geometry may be too.
