# lime pollen get the image for qrd not x55

i would LOVE to, but i cant find it anywhere, one image that i found was for a powkiddy x55 because of same screen parameters, but this is what i got at the end... 😦 sorry 4 my english btw)

Well that's the thing.. It doesn't exist 😆

So, the fast forward on my V10 does not work.

#

The binding is fine, and I can see the fast forward symbol on the corner, but the speed is the same

#

I've changed the pace from 2.0-10.0, but no visible improvement whatsoever

#

Anyone knows how to fix this bug?

#

where can I tweak this?

#

this happened after I am switching between cores to test performance

#

yes, I know that

#

I usually use gpsp, but testing other gba cores to check

#

the thing is, it happened all across systems now

#

even GBC, SNES, NES

#

and it used to work

#

now it caps at 1.0x even when I changed it to 5.0x

#

I can’t find a a section for the Powkiddy v10 on the Rocknix site. Looking to find what the hotkey controls are for the brightness and volume. Anybody know?

#

Or really all of the hotkeys would be ideal since this device has a confusing set of buttons. Haha.

#

Adjusting volume: SELECT + D-PAD UP/DOWN.
Adjusting brightness: SELECT + D-PAD LEFT/RIGHT.

hey guys, i have a problem with switching languages, today i had a hangout with some friends and we played eachother handhelds, one of them is korean and changed the system language to help him out, but when he changed it back to english, some elements stayed in korean, like tool apps and theme options like aspect ratio and whatnot, how can i fix it? is there a way to forcefully apply english again on every single element of the os?

can we please have the option to configure each and every hotkey on rocknix? it is annoying that some buttons are pre-Set

Hey guys, i bought a r36s recently and turns out its a clone running modified arkos. i switched to rocknix due to aeolus version for clones doesnt seem to save any button konfiguration. Now im having problems with outputting sound on the rocknix OS. Does someone know if any files of the backup i made could be used or trasnlated to get audio running?

# loud spruce can we please have the option to configure each and every hotkey on rocknix? it ...

I had the same question and I commented in the Rocknix discord the solution. Sharing also here:
The RetroArch configuration resets with each new game launch, as noted in the wiki. While the wiki explains how to disable this, it's an all-or-nothing option.

However, if you need to customize the default RetroArch configuration but still want the ability to reset it after exiting a game (the best of both worlds), you can achieve this. Go to Tools -> Start RetroArch (64 bits), make your desired customizations, and then navigate to Main Menu -> Configuration File -> Save Current Configuration.

Important: Be mindful and careful about your changes. If you're unsure, back up your current configuration, located at /.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg. Avoid resetting to defaults, as this might disrupt the Rocknix customizations for your device.

Does someone know what i can do to change the button configuration iin rocknix for drastic, cause it is kinda messed up on my config and i cant seem to properly config all button

#

or how to add another emulator or update the current one, something like that

atomic coral

Hello fellow emulation enthusiasts,
The last few days have been pretty rough for me. I’ve been trying to figure out how to install any operating system on my R36S clone that I bought from China. Sadly, none of the common OS seem to work reliably enough to be acceptable. Im pretty much working day and night with chat bots like ChatGPT or Perplexity to figure this out.

ArkOS for K36/Clone
USB data transfer (e.g., SSH/tethering) works reliably.,
EmulationStation controller recognition does not work until I import the “Image” file from a backup. However, if I do so, EmulationStation is unable to save any changes made in settings or elsewhere.,
Standalone emulators correctly recognize the controller.,

Rocknix
USB data transfer and SSH do not work at all. This wouldn’t be such a big deal if there weren’t other problems.,
EmulationStation reliably recognizes the controller.,
Standalone emulators mostly fail to recognize the controller correctly. Some buttons are missing, or when trying to map them, they either do nothing or delete the current value.,

So if there is some out there who has linux, arkOS or any sorta knowledge that could help me and could spare some of his or her precios time to figure this out with me please add me on discord and tell me if your free to hop on a call with me so that i can explain my current situation or better said my current progress with you. Thanks in advance for every person that is considering to reach out. Hope to hear from you soon. DISCORD NAME: Jelloc19

I was having problems with the file server, but it was a configuration issue on my desktop (RK3326, G350, rocknix-fork)

#

@queen apex thanks for the ban I guess? Support as useless as usual, you guys really like to assume shit because you hate forks

dreamy orchid
#

@latent magnet do you have the same issue with Batocera? I suspect your translation issues are an upstream ES thing.

latent magnet
#

And this isn't the first instance either, the built-in updater doesn't work, period, and you literally gaslight people saying it's their problem

dreamy orchid
#

Lol

#

That's a GH file server issue

latent magnet
#

That's been going since March? Sure, because neither manually dropping the update tar file works

#

I don't have time for an os that doesn't care, there are other options

#

Good day

Can anyone help me figure out how to connect real wii remotes to dolphin in rocknix?

i can connect them to bluetooth no problem, im just not sure how to have dolphin register them… do i have to edit one of the user .ini files or something?

sour elk
#

When I get back home imma try to find them again

#

Connecting the wii remotes would be awesome 🔥

craggy stone

#

What I did:

  1. disabled write protection via the wii emulation station setting and set controller to custom
  2. under .configs/dolphin-emu i replaced WiimoteNew.ini content with the wiimote bluetooth .ini file under .configs/dolphin-emu/Profiles (copy/paste and renamed). maybe theres a simpler way to just link to it? idk
  3. opened dolphin UI under tools to enable continuous scanning and set all remotes to real wiimotes (this appends info to WiimoteNew.ini)
  4. replaced the content of .configs/dolphin-emu/WiiControllerProfiles/custom.ini with the content of WiimoteNew.ini

now, every time you start a game, WiimoteNew.ini content gets replaced with custom.ini (as directed by the dolphin-sa start_dolphin_wii.sh script) which now has controller mappings and settings.

you can cut out many steps just by replacing custom.ini with the provided file if you know how.

idk if these changes will be wiped by rocknix updates.
idk if every change i made was necessary or not… this is just the state of things at the point i got it working.

under Dolphin.ini i also confirmed that continuous scanning was set true and set SIDevice# = 2 (idk if that’s necessary)

#

perhaps someone more knowledgeable with dolphin or rocknix can tell me wuts superfluous or how to ensure the changes remain persistent between updates

#

i know theres similar .ini files under games-internal/roms/wii/User. idk what those do

#

Would be cool to try bluetooth pass through, but i gotta build that how i want it. so its gonna be a while…

#

hybrid controller may make more sense for player one but im already way out of my depth. I’m just happy to have it working

sour elk
#

Maybe some startup scripts would make it fully permanent.

Does anyone know if there is a guide or wiki on what the system settings all do? Like the different power saving modes, for instance

One question: How does the ROCKNIX recovery menu look like? I've been trying to boot into recovery on my clone R36S

Do the ps2 emulators in ROCKNIX support RetroAchievements?

#

There is no newer version of aethersx2 available

mellow totem
#

I was hoping to access nethersx2 as it support hardcore RetroAchievements

You're limited to Android in that case

#

Do I need to use the Patch Stock DTB File generator for Rocknix

#

I'm going to install it on an R36S clone

#

Ty

#

I installed it now

eternal haven
#

@lament bay The default theme is too large and I can't see anything when accessing options

#

Should I patch it?

#

Pretty sure I have a Panel 4

I’d like to use my Pixel 2 RogueOS card as the SD2 on my RGB20SX. But when I do, ROCKNIX picks up RogueOS’ Emulation Station settings. Is there a something I can change to keep ROCKNIX from picking up the config on SD2?

lyric dawn
#

Just wondering if any data (game save files, screenshots, collections, etc) get wiped if I updated Rocknix? I use a Powkiddy RGB20SX

dreamy orchid
#

I often update my Odroid multiple times a day with dev builds, don't lose saves etc.

#

If it does go pear-shaped and you need to reflash, you will be glad of the backup though.

#

hey so i managed to install rocknix with an old dtb i found on my pc,

#

currently sitting in emmc, with a 128GB SD2 for games

#

nothing in slot 1

#

i'm having issues with audio, tried the reverse audio thing already and somewhat helped, but speaker sound won't come out until i plug on my headphones (get sound out of headphones) and disconnect them, now there's audio

#

any fix to that?

errant mantle
#

apparently it fixed itself by instaling 11162025 nightly

#

Any plans for Rocknix on devices running the SD G1 Gen 2, for example, the RP Classic?

Has anyone tried rocknix on a rp5/mini with the dual screen attachment?

hello, im using an rg40xxv and i just tried to flash rocknix but i have been getting a black screen when i boot. i copied the dtb file to root and changed the name to dtb.img. am i doing anything wrong?

tidal nacelle
#

i tried the latest stable, the one before it and the nightly... and no luck

dreamy orchid
#

Probably a panel change

tidal nacelle

ok i installed Win32Disk Imager. do i change the hash or anything? or just click write?

#

do i change anything?

graceful snow
#

I already see your problem. Extract .img file from your .gz archive.

#

.gz is an archive - you can't burn it onto flash drives, extract it first and then burn that file directly. No need to do any Hash options.

tidal nacelle
#

how can i extract it? i've been using .gz for muos fine i thought this would work too here. sorry

#

winrar work i think

#

ah unfortunately black screen again

that's the first thing i tried unfortunately it did not work

For H700 handhelds you also need to replace that file https://youtu.be/PVddW9tjSg4?si=SL4B74whiwO8IB1T&t=363

Some of the finest custom firmware I've used on a retro handheld is RockNix, and it's available on SO MANY DEVICES! Check out my install guide for how to set up your retro gaming handhelds and enjoy a solid retro gaming experience.

ill show you the partitions now and i did copy the RG 40xxv dtb and renamed it

tidal nacelle
#

i copied this

#

pasted at root and renamed it to this

graceful snow
#

Launch cmd as Admin, then do this

#

Never select disk 0 as you will wipe your own PC

#

most likely your card will be disk 1 or more. After you've done it, go back to Disk Manager, right click on your SD, assign Drive letter on to it.

#

After that Unpack your .gz file with Rocknix image, use the .img file with Wine32Disk Imager to burn it onto your SD. If you can't do all of that - i can't help you anyhow else.

So those are your 2 options

tidal nacelle
#

yeah i burned knulli and muos on different SDs for now, will stick with whichever im more comfortable with. because no matter what we tried all we could get is just a backlit screen on boot.

#

thanks man hopefully they are able to get it to work in the future

filebin has a week timeout - i've started mainlining most of what is in that build

memory stuff is in nightly, some of the network bits - which is still my focus. whilst i've sorted out having completely non-functional resolvers. The network is still a hodge podge due to connman

i installed the nightly version of rocknix on my RG DS, and I've gotten everything that isnt retroarch to work out the gate without having to do anything, but I dont know why i cant launch retroarch from the menu and it cant launch any games that default to a retroarch core

i did update to todays build through the updater but its still the same.

Ah dang that fixed it for me, maybe re flashing would be worth it at that point.

I was afraid of that lol,

Well reflashed , loaded roms, still having problems with retroarch not launching games. DS games launch fine since its using drastic. So weird.

Even for those systems that don't use a bios?

#

Go to tools and open the file explorer

#

You should be on /storage/.config

#

Enter the retroarch folder

And delete the retroarch.cfg file

ok, will do

celest oyster
#

Down button accepts, and I think left button opens the context menu

Or north

yeah i joined the rocknix discord, but yeah i think ill wait. For now DS, PS1 and N64 games are running with the provided standalone emulators. And using the medafen cores which are working .

Has anyone here installed Rocknix on the internal storage of the RG DS rather than the SD card?

rotund sedge
#

Too risky for no benefits. At least if the SD card gets bricked somehow you can swap it out

quaint prism
#

Hmm I don't mind if I have to reflash android on to it but was trying to avoid having to partition my SD card as I've already got it all set up

rotund sedge
#

You have an SD card set up for rocknix?

#

Are all your folders named the same as rocknix? Otherwise you have to rename/move them once you do put rocknix on there

quaint prism
#

I flashed it on one smaller SD card to give it a test run and have successfully got it running dual boot but now seeing about which option to go with using my main SD card for my device that's already all set up

Is it possible to add a vpn connection on ROCKNIX? I have setup Wireguard at my home network and can connect to Moonlight through that when I’m not home.

#

Also if anyone is using Moonlight, how does it compare to the Android version decoding/latency wise? My host machine is linux so can’t use artemis/apollo but can use sunshine/moonlight instead.
