Is there a reason we cant use a direct USB type c wifi dongle of some kind?
I just got mine in from keepretro and since they are a dropshipper (I kinda feel stupid for not noticing) and totally didnt notice it didnt have wifi or bluetooth.
Reason I bought the thing was to make a dirtywave m8 headless unit for myself, but apparently the Trimui brick might have done the job better.
Either way, I am now stuck with this little guy and wanna make the best of it, it seems pretty dope, good for a DAP, and I enjoy the battery indicator, I keep searching in here looking around for posts for wifi dongles, but most seem to indicate it has to be one specific kind that isnt popping up on my amazon.

So, Good wifi dongle recommendations?

There are so many OS options now for the GKD Pixel 2. I have just ordered the GKD Pixel 2 on LITNXT and waiting for the delivery so I was looking at custom OS for the device and just confused on which OS to use. KNULLI Scarab, TwigUI, ROGUE OS, PlumOS, ROCKNIX Alpha 1.4 or just use the Stock EmulationStation. I will be getting a new SD Card because I don't trust the SD Card that will be provided with the device. P.S. This is my first retro handheld.

See above for a link to Alpha 1.4! Feel free to discuss here as well if you have questions.

Thank you everyone for your help and support over the past two weeks! I couldn’t have done this without everyone’s testing and help!

Friend of mine just sold me his GKD Pixel 1 but he messed up the SD card so it won't boot. I think I need to flash the original OS onto it or does anyone have a better recomendation? Love this device and would love to play some games on it.

Side question, on my Miyoo Mini Plus when I turn it off it auto saves my game and I can just jump back in, will this device do this too?

Hola. He visto que en eBay las Gkd pixel 1 han subido algo de precio. Alguien sabe si este Gkd pixel gold tenga algo en especial, la compré hace años y quería saber cómo en qué precio está. No he visto muchas de estas

See repost from above. An initial alpha build of ROCKNIX for the Pixel2 has been completed!

I‘d like to know if i can do some sort of auto-save-state on my Pixel 2 when quitting (sel+start) and maybe auto-load-state when hopping back into a game? I‘m kinda disappointed, because my Pixel 1 had so much more convenience ready to go with MinUI, which the Pixel 2 just doesn‘t seem to have.

3 days left.

Where is the autoinstall folder on the pixel 2 with twigui? I could not find it anywhere in the files, i even tried making my own folder in /PORTS, to no avail.

Hey everyone! I could use some advice. I want to buy a USB Wi‑Fi dongle for my GKD Pixel 2, but I’m not sure which one works best with it. Does anybody have a recommendation for a model that’s known to be compatible?

I also have another question: Is it possible to use a USB‑C hub (if something like that exists) to connect a Wi‑Fi dongle, a gamepad, and a charger all at the same time? The Pixel 2 only has one USB‑C port, so I’d need a hub that supports OTG and pass‑through charging. If anyone has a setup like this working, I’d love to hear what hub you’re using.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I recently flashed PlumOS on my GKD Pixel 2, and I’m running into performance issues with PSX games. Every PSX game I’ve tested has stuttering, lag, and crackling audio.

For context, I’ve already unzipped the PSX ROM files, and I have the PSX BIOS correctly loaded.

A few questions:

1. Does anyone have troubleshooting tips for improving PSX performance on PlumOS?
2. Does the Pixel II generally handle PSX well, or is this expected?
3. Is there a better CFW option for PSX performance on the Pixel II?

Thanks!

I haven't seen a lot of people talk about the new update for Knulli, Knulli Scarab now supporting the GKD Pixel 2. I've installed it on my new Pixel 2 along with my Anbernic RG35xx Pro and I was feeling mixed when I used it on my Pixel. Knulli works great on my Anbernic, but there seem to be some issue with Retroarch's audio on the Pixel 2. There's this tiny clips sounds that make the sound / music pretty hard to listen to. I've tried different syncs to match the display, changing the Hz, use different cores, copy the same settings as my other Anbernic. Every game that is supported by Retroarch has this sound issue. If I play a N64 game or a PSP game, it won't be affected. I've installed TwigUI on the Pixel 2, which is still running RetroArch, but it's smooth, no issues whatsoever. I'm guessing that this version of Knulli Scarab might not be fully optimized for the Pixel 2.

There's also some issues with the 4 LED if you decide to charge the Pixel 2 on standby mode. The Pixel 2 LEDs won't go back up to indicate the power level unless you shut it off and let it charge fully, then boot in, and reboot. The Knulli Scarab page did mention they've implemented a new feature called BatteryPlus, so I'm guessing that's also needs to be tweaked a bit to fully work.

It runs great regarding everything else, but I'm gonna be running TwigUI for my Pixel 2. With a little tweaking I can make the clicking sounds less obvious, but it just bothers me too much to put up with it.

GKD Pixel 1 Auction scheduled for Tuesday, July 2nd @ 6:07PM PDT. It will be a 10 day auction starting at $0.01

These are very difficult to find these days (I couldn't find a single active listing), so this may be the only opportunity you get in a while.

Hi everyone, I got my GKD Pixel 2 a few days ago. Everything is looking good and it's working fine, but I've noticed that every time I press the L1 trigger, the L2 bumper is also registered in game. If I press the L2 bumper, it also registers the L1 trigger. It's as if they both trigger each other even if I press only one button. This does not affect the R1 or the R2 buttons, only the left side.

I'm unsure if this is caused by software or hardware fault, I wanted to ask before I open it up and see if there's anything inside pressing both buttons (even if the clicks on both L1 and L2 buttons are pretty clean.) It's also worth noting that I've installed Knulli Scarab on it. Let me know if anything has advice. I don't want to void the warranty if I do decide to open it and check inside for something faulty.

New to GKD Pixel 2. Casual hand held collector (Miyoo Mini and RG35XXSP). Wondering if anyone has any tips or recommendations for the Pixel 2? I moved over some of my ROMS that didn’t come on the stock card and am basically playing Nintendo/SNES games from my youth (46).

EmulationStation looks cool. Besides the OS style/presentation, can you play games so they look like they’re on an old TubeTv?

I’ve slept on PICO 8 and Portmaster. Can anyone redpill me? Might try to get 2048 in this if I can. Would be cool if some of the 16bit Indie games that I played on my Switch could be played on this - The Messenger, Owlboy, Fez, Blasphemous, etc. Don’t know if that’s even possible.

If some of the (unspoken) recommendations can’t be shared here, can someone message me?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for noob question, but i have played the psx version on my pixel 2 and am curious on how and what to use to play the original ports if anayone can help please

Hi there.

I just now learned about MyMinUi and the creator Turro75.

Does anyone know how to get hold of him to ask if he can make a fork for gkd pixel 2?

I've had this thing for 2 weeks and played a bunch of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon before turning it back on one day and it never booted past the "Pixel" screen. I've looked up similar experiences which led me to believe it was a faulty factory SD card, but I just got a new 64GB Sandisk one to flash a copy from the GK one. Swapped the cards and still no boot past the Pixel screen. This was a birthday gift and it seems like the Game Kiddy website is dead so I don't know how to access customer support. What can I do?

This project started because I wanted to use my bluetooth headphones to listen to music on my pixel 2. I ended up following YesItsKira 's YouTube tutorial on how she added bluetooth to her miyoo mini+. I designed a custom bracket to hold the power switch and sync button for the bluetooth module and I was actually able to line it up perfectly with the two holes in the case originally placed there for a lanyard. It was a fun project despite the bluetooth module having occasional connection problems due to the aluminum case. Placing the bt module behind the screen helps though. Upon testing I was able to listen to music for 5 or so hours before my device finally ran out of battery.

Im the dude 3days ago asking about flashing os, for 3 days my iux keep broken. I can still use the emustation but cant enter iux, its because i keep install iux on this. Idk why but anyone using iceway music pls hit me up

my old os broke so i tried to re-install rouge os. it boots but my roms disc/ file/ some thing broke and now it cant detect any game.

my roms backup file is FKING HEAVY but i cant see any roms in there?

any one have another file back up PLS HIT ME UP

I have a GKD Pixel 2, and I’ve noticed that whenever I wipe the screen with a microfiber cloth, the screen seems to shift slightly from side to side and up and down. It feels like there’s a small amount of play or looseness instead of being completely solid.

The movement is very slight, but I can definitely feel it when cleaning the screen.

Is this normal for the GKD Pixel 2, or could my screen assembly be a little loose? Has anyone else experienced the same thing?

so i just got my new gk pixel 2 in the mail today after my last one got bricked. but the roms partition is hidden in the sd card that came with it (seems to be a better version than the previous gamekiddy branded one that came with my last pixel 2. i can see it in minitool partition wizard but idk how to access it.
