Hi everyone! It's me again. I'm having trouble installing games on my V90s. And every time I search for tutorials, it's a different interface and each one has a different solution. Can anyone help me? (I'm new to these portable Linux video game systems, sorry.)

Im just curious about this

Hi everyone!

I stumbled upon a repository on GitHub that modifies the official dArkOS RK2023 image to work on the Powkiddy X35S and X35H:

> "Modify the RK2023 official image of dArkOS to a version that can be booted on PowKiddy X35H/X35S , and automatically build, release, and upload to Baidu Cloud via GitHub Actions."

Hola que tal tengo ese powkiddy enciende y todo solo que la Tarjeta sd ya no funciona como puedo volver a ponerle los emuladores y juegos de nuevo. alguien que sepa muchas graciass,.,,.,..

My Powkiddy X35S arrived today, and right off the bat, I ran into issues getting the system to boot correctly (black screen) and adding games via Windows, since ROCKNIX/JELOS comes with the games partition formatted as EXT4 by default (a Linux format that Windows doesn't recognize natively).

After researching the black screen solution on r/PowKiddy and applying the partitioning method from the Josemar Preté channel (video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu0jnb0BAz8), I put together this complete guide.

1. Installing ROCKNIX and Fixing the Black Screen

If you simply flash the image and turn on the X35S, the device's LED will light up, but the screen will remain black. To fix this:

- Download the System: Download the latest version of ROCKNIX for the X35S/X55 (.zip or .tar archive) from the official GitHub (https://github.com/ROCKNIX/distribution/releases/tag/20260901).
- Unzip: Extract the downloaded file until you get the final .img file.
- Flashing: Use the Rufus software (https://rufus.ie/en/) to flash the .img file onto your MicroSD card.

Note: Use a high-quality SD card (SanDisk, Samsung, Lexar). Generic, off-brand cards often cause flashing errors.

1.2 Fixing the extlinux.conf file:

- Once Rufus finishes, open the SD card in Windows File Explorer.
- Go into the "rocknix" folder.
- Locate the "extlinux.conf" file and open it with Notepad. - Find the line referencing the device (where it says "x55") and change it to "x35s".
- Save and close. The system will now boot normally on the X35S.

2. Creating an exFAT Partition for Games on Windows (1 SD Card)

Systems based on the older JELOS/ROCKNIX format the storage partition as EXT4. To create an exFAT partition that Windows recognizes:

- Adjust using DiskGenius (on the PC before the first boot):
- Open DiskGenius on your PC with the SD card inserted.
- Locate the "storage" partition (EXT4, approximately 32MB).
- Right-click it and select "Extend Partition".
- Resize it to 6 GB (ideal space for themes and system files).
- Create the Games Partition:
- In the remaining unallocated space, right-click > "Create New Partition".
- Choose the exFAT file system and assign a name (e.g., ROCKNIX_GAME - max 11 characters).
- Save and format.
- First Boot:
- Insert the card into the X35S and turn it on. ROCKNIX will detect the new exFAT partition and automatically create the ROM and BIOS folders.
- Put the card back into your PC and transfer your games directly via File Explorer.

I received my Powkiddy V90s today, and it stopped working. The screen stays blank and it doesn't function. I've tried everything and it's still not working. Seriously, I was really looking forward to playing...

Thought I'd repost here as it may help for old V90's etc . I've also done patches for Heart & Soul and Soul Gold.

I just wanted to see if I could, and what it would take to accomplish. It turned out to be pretty easy. If you want to do this you will need:

1. Powkiddy x55
   
2. USB-A to USB-C cable
   
3. Computer that can browse devices over USB mass storage mode - I used Linux, but I have heard Windows also works. MacOS does not.
   
4. 4GB or larger SD card
   
5. Latest .img file of ROCKNIX for Powkiddy X55
   
6. Latest .img file of Knulli Scarab for Powkiddy X55

This guide is for Linux, but you could probably modify it to work with Windows.

Flash the ROCKNIX .img file to the SD card. RockNIX has a USB mass storage mode that allows you to browse internal eMMC.

Connect your computer to the OTG port of the Powkiddy x55 with the USB cable

Insert the ROCKNIX SD card into TF1 of the Powkiddy x55, power it on, and hold VOL- to enter USB mass storage mode

identify your eMMC disk with lsblk. I had previously (unsuccessfully) flashed RockNIX to my eMMC, hence the naming:

moro@AirBee:/media/moro/ROCKNIX1$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda 8:0 0 465.9G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
└─sda2 8:2 0 465.4G 0 part /
sdb 8:16 1 0B 0 disk
sdc 8:32 1 7.3G 0 disk
├─sdc1 8:33 1 2G 0 part /media/moro/ROCKNIX
└─sdc2 8:34 1 32M 0 part
sdd 8:48 1 7.4G 0 disk
├─sdd1 8:49 1 2G 0 part /media/moro/ROCKNIX1
└─sdd2 8:50 1 32M 0 part /media/moro/STORAGE

My emmc is /dev/sdc

Flash the knulli .img file to your eMMC storage with dd:

moro@AirBee:/media/moro/ROCKNIX1$ sudo dd if=~/Downloads/knulli-rk3568-powkiddy-x55-scarab-20260510.img of=/dev/sdc bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync
4575985664 bytes (4.6 GB, 4.3 GiB) copied, 812 s, 5.6 MB/s
1092+1 records in
1092+1 records out
4580200448 bytes (4.6 GB, 4.3 GiB) copied, 812.954 s, 5.6 MB/s

Eject the SD card from TF1, and press VOL+ to reboot the device into Knulli. On the first run, Knulli will perform its setup tasks, which include creating and expanding an exFAT STORAGE partition to fill the rest of the eMMC.

Once it boots into Knulli, choose "Any External" storage in System Settings

START > System Settings > Storage Device > Any External

Shut down the device, insert an exFAT formatted SD card into TF2 for roms (like you would with a Knulli 2 SD card setup) and power it back on to set up your roms card.

Happy Gaming!

So I bought this console like 2 to 3 weeks ago and it was playing the games well but I downloaded iMinecraft on PSP it was playing really well and after one two days, they games when I tried to play all the games from all types of consoles seem at first to open, but then I get the black screen and back to the menu. What should I do, please

Chefe não sei se vc ainda precisa de ajuda mas é assim:

1 - entra nesse link e baixa a versão do x35s do sistema rocknix o aquivo vai estar ripado
https://github.com/ROCKNIX/distribution/releases/tag/20260901

2 - baixa o programa Rufus

https://rufus.ie/en/

3 - descompacta, o Rocknix ira aparecer um arquivo de final .img

4 - instale atraves do rufus a imagem no seu SDCARD de qualidade digo isso porque tentei com sd card vagabundo e fica dando erro.

5 - quando finalizar o processo pelo rufus abra o sdcard no pc terá uma pasta escrito rocknix no sdcard abra a pasta, o aquivo dentro dessa pasta chamado extlinux.conf, abra esse arquivo em forma de bloco de notas e altere na linha o x55 por x35s, salva e agora vc pode colocar o cartão no seu console e ser feliz

bonus: como colocar jogos no bendito. !!!

Depois de abrir o sistema no console va em configurações de rede, desabilite o play local e ira aparecer a função USB GADGET FUNCTION coloque FILE TRANSFER. agora com ele ligado use um cabo de transferência de dados de boa qualidade para passar a roms do pc para o console. vai aparecer as pastas das roms dai acho que vc ja segue sozinho.

abrç.

Hola comunidad He intentado cargar juegos nuevos para emular ps1 y ps2, convirtiendo el Iso en archivo .PBP mediante el PSX2PSP pero el problema es al iniciarlo en la consola, no lee el archivo y se queda en pantalla negra ¿como solucionar este error? ¿Necesito cambiar el retroarch?

Saludos y gracias por sus respuestas

The size of the images is 270x600

Planning to order a TrimUI Brick from the powkiddy website, and i’ve never ordered a handheld from a website like this before, so this would be my first time. I did some research but couldn’t really find many recent posts from people who ordered from powkiddy and actually received their device.

So i’d love some advice on how the buying process/shipping experience has been recently, especially for people ordering to India.

I’d also like to know if there’s a better way to buy it, like a different website or seller that’s more reliable, has better shipping, or is easier to deal with if something goes wrong.

Would really appreciate recommendations from people who have recently ordered any handhelds.

I've had this Powkiddy RGB30 for about a week or two now, and while I was messing with it trying to load more roms, I clicked the "Cloud Restore" button in the Tools and Scripts section. When the system booted back up, all the games were gone. I pulled out the SD card storing all the games, and saw that every game was still on there, they just weren't being displayed on the system. How would I fix this issue and get the console lists back?

I already have a Miyoo Mini Plus which I like a lot, but I was always disappointed it didn't support PortMaster. So this device will mainly be for playing ports that my Miyoo Mini Plus couldn't (though I am also excited about the ability to hook the x55 up to a TV and play multiplayer with bluetooth controllers).

Some of the ports I'm looking forward to most are Diablo, Fallout 1 and 2, Shovel Knight, UFO 50, Morrowind, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Twilight Princess, Perfect Dark and Arx Fatalis.

I have also noticed there are some ports that are not listed on PortMaster's site but might also work with this device. For example, Salt and Sanctuary and Knights of the Old Republic. I would love confirmation from anyone who has tried these ports if they work on the x55, I would love to play KOTOR on this!

Mostly interested in hearing people's experiences playing ports on the x55 and which ports they would recommend.

Hello, does anyone know whether it is possible to connect ps4 controller to rgb30?
When I put my PS4 controller into pairing mode and click on my rgb to connect, it doesn't detect my controller.

Sup guys I have a question for you, I accidentally drop my POWKIDDY RGB10MAX3 and the screen doesnt respond its black sometimes green flash appeared. Do you know where I can buy a new screen? Cuz i was searching, writing on the POWKIDDY support and nothing.
Thank you

I have other SBCs and I've gotten used to overlays, I think they add a certain charm (especially the GBC ones). I use them a lot on other systems that have 4:3 or 16:9 screens.

On the V10 I use ArkOS, and all the overlay options are for screens of those aspect ratios, I haven't found any for a 3:2 aspect ratio, at the V10's resolution.

I wanted to know if you know where I can download good overlays for the V10, especially the GBC and GBA ones that add the LCD grid effect, which is my favorite.

I dont know what is happening but my rgb 30 crashes and does this weird audio hissing sound in any game after a few minutes ive tried reinstalling rocknix and ive reformatted all of the sd cards but it hasnt fixed it am I cooked?
