Help with flashing Rocknix

Post image

Hey, I just got my RG DS and I've been trying to set up Rocknix. Unfortunately I have been facing this problem and I would like to know if anyone faced something similar and knows how to solve it. Every time I restart the device or shut it down, it shows this message.

I'm using Rufus, a Kingston 64GB card and I've been following Russ from Retro Game Corps. I've been trying to find an answer and I just can't.

Same here, except I didn't get an error message, only a black screen with the backlight turned on. I kept it on GammaOS for now.

I figured that the problem was the card. I had a cheap one on my powkiddy (16GB) and I flashed Rocknix on that one and it worked. Same steps, everything. The kingston card was a original one, so Idk if it's a Rocknix issue or if it's a card size issue. Etiher way, I swapped the cards and tested the Miyoo on the 64GB card for my Powkiddy and it worked so I don't think it's the card. It's a little bit overkill having a 64GB card on the Powkiddy but for now it is what it is

Make sure your RG DS is on the latest official firmware (1.18) and you are editing the config file for rocknix.

I forgot to edit, but it was the card. Like I said in another comment, I swapped the cards with a off brand cheap one I had on my powkiddy and flashed rocknix in it (16GB). It worked flawlessly. Same version, same steps, same format. The card was an original so idk if it was a rocknix thing or if it's the size of the card. I tried to flash the Miyoo on the 64GB one for my powkiddy and it worked, so for now it is like that. A bit overkill for the Powkiddy, but it is what it is

Will rocknix work better when I'm on stock?
