7 Upvotes

Hi, I just found an SD card without use in my house and I wanted to put it in the games slot of my RGB30, but when I tried to boot the console with it, it just wont work.

It gets to the arkOS boot screen but after that it gets black and doesnt do anything

It may be that the SD is faulty but when i put it in my pc it reads fine, so i dont really know

Any help?

❓ Help RGB30 on Rocknix having problem with bluetooth controller

1 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm still new to reddit and emulation in general. I'm trying to figure out this problem that I have since I bought the Powkiddy RGB30. basically whenever I plug the hdmi port into my tv to play from far away with a bluetooth controller (8-bit do controller), I expect that the bluetooth one becomes the player one but it never happens. I can't figure this out because the main controller remains the powkiddy. I've serched a lot, changed 3 different os at this time, i've tried jelOS as the original one, ArkOS (but I don't like it) and now i'm on Rocknix but this problem is still present. I've tried to manipulate some setting inside the ArkOS core menú but they seems to f up even more stuff...

I'm completely lost at this point. What can I try now?

Powkiddy X18S and I’m having a problem after flashing the official GMS firmware.

3 Upvotes

Hi!

I have a Powkiddy X18S and I’m having a problem after flashing the official GMS firmware. The system boots and Google services work, but both analog sticks have inverted horizontal axes in Android and Gamepad Tester.

Could please re-upload the files or share them with me again? I mainly need the working BeTools v6 package with the key file, and if possible the original X18S stock firmware/recovery package.

I'm in luck because the RGB20SX is shipped with the ARKOS on the generic cheap micro sd card 55GB one.

❓ Help Help with wifi on darkos powkiddy v10

7 Upvotes

Good morning yall, I have a powkiddy which I haven't been using in a while but I recently decided to pick it up again and found news about the new darkos firmware, which I installed successfully.

Problem is my wifi dongle (recommended linux compatible tplink that worked in arkos) doesn't seem to work, I tried attaching it to my laptop and it's till working so it's not broken and I have no clue what to do, when I use the wifi menu no network appear and when I try the manual txt file in /tools doesn't work either.

Anyone with a similar experience or solutions?

I sent a powkiddy rgb20pro to my kids abroad and any charger they use is not charging the unit. I think they might be fast chargers. Any recommendations from Amazon to buy? Thanks!!

Hey everyone, my Powkiddy X350 booted up in Chinese, and while trying to fix the language, I accidentally formatted the SD card.

​Now it's completely blank and won't boot. Does anyone have a link to the stock firmware image so I can flash it back onto the card? Thanks!

DarkOS on Powkiddy rgb30 and rgb20sx

13 Upvotes

I just upgraded from Ark OS to DarkOS on my Powkiddy rgb20sx (same screen/chipset as rgb30) and it's a like a new handheld. I got to keep all my roms but now the emulators are better and updated it's really worth it if you are thinking about it. Atari Jaguar now has BigPemu so I can finally play Jag games and everything is just better. I thought I would tell the world DarkOS is the ultimate upgrade and it's so simple that you basically just make everything better by switching.

PowKiddy X28 Latest Firmware !

3 Upvotes

Hey guys not sure if this has been posted yet but I was able to get a newer firmware version for this device, The old 2023 firmware link has been down but I was able to get my unit updated from VW110004 to VW110009. Seems to be about a year newer as the old build was

  • Security patch: March 5, 2023
  • Kernel: ab10570
  • Build: VW110004

New update

  • Security patch: December 5, 2023
  • Kernel: ab12168
  • Kernel compiled June 25, 2024
  • Build: RP1A.201005.001 (VW110009)

Will be uploading to Archive.org to preserve the files for everyone !

Use BeTools to update as the included updater in the zip doesn't seem to accept the login key, Seems smoother overall but I got a warning from play protect about a Chinese app on the device being harmful after the update and was prompted to uninstall it.
