The larger ABXY action buttons make for a really interesting feel in the hands. They are just a bit larger than other devices and that makes them just a bit more comfortable. And Powkiddy has worked directly with the community to get these operating systems for the device. Something we wish other handheld makers would do. Corrects a brightness bug that caused brightness to reduce to 0 if the brightness table did not exist after the previous update. Whilst it isn’t a total disappointment, the RK2023 isn’t the prettiest looking device on the market. The internal specs, including the RK3566 chipset, is around a year out of date, which is a shame, although it can still play platforms comfortably up to PS1 and some PSP games too.

Q. Can the mouse pointer that's always visible in the upper right corner of Drastic (NDS Emulator) be removed? A. As of the writing of this entry (11/10/2020), it can not be removed. It’s unfortunately a "feature" of the emulator for the time being. Resolved as of the 1/28/2021 update. Q. My unit doesn't seem to boot from the SD card anymore. What could be the issue? A. It could be one of the following issues: I got that early info yesterday, but of course the news has spread like wildfire within the Discord community. Where can I find information on where to load roms, available cores, and port information for ArkOS? The 3.5” laminated display is very good for such a low budget handheld, featuring crisp and very bright images. This makes it ideal for playing outside. I’d love to see other companies use this type of display on cheaper handhelds as it really does make a difference to your gaming.X: Actions on selected items: - Copy to destination directory - Move to destination directory - Rename (appears only if 1 item is selected) - Delete Display disk used This is one we had not heard of up until yesterday when Powkiddy gave developers the go-ahead to share the news. To exit the emulator, hit the Start button then select exit in the menu for most paks or hit Select+Start. Be sure to setup your external controller in Emulationstation by hitting start then Configure Input. This will allow your external controller to navigate the Emulationstation menu and Retroarch based emulators If you'd like to remove the splash screen all together, just rename the loading.jpg file to something else or simply delete it.

START: Open highlighted directory in destination panel. If a file is highlighted, open current directory in destination panel. Adds pixel perfect scaling to Pico-8, and enables it by default on the Powkiddy RGB30! Thanks to @christianhaitian! Once in the Retroarch menu, hit the A button on Settings, then Accessibility, then Accessibility Enable. You can also adjust the speed of the Text-to-Speech.

Upgrading Over the Air (OTA)

That means that the RK2023 will be capable of playing things like Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Playstation 1, Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, PSP. I've added the roms to the appropriate folder, but once I put the SD card inside the console it doesn't seem to find my roms. Powkiddy is to release their latest horizontal format handheld later today, and that handheld is the new RK2023. When it comes to holding the RK2023, I found it to be very comfortable and ideal for extended play sessions. The ergonomics of it are great, and with it being quite light to hold, I never became fatigued or experienced any sort of cramping in my fingers or hands mainly due to the curved sides.

They won’t be the most beautiful choices on the market and they aren’t gonna hit the highest level of emulation. But they are handhelds you can count on to get the job done. If you're experiencing excessive audio delays (of about 1 second or more) in retroarch based emulators, try reducing the retroarch audio delay configuration by going to retroarch Settings>Audio>Output>Audio Latency (ms). It's set by default to 128. You can try reducing that to 64 or another number and see if that helps. Audio from video snapshots and video screensaver does not play when bluetooth audio is connected. Resolved as of 01/03/2023 update. Note: Some rumble(vibration) supporting games may require that vibration be turned on from its options or settings menu from in game to work as well. Q. How do I enable rumble(vibration) in parallel_n64? A. Do the following:

RK2023 Instructions

The overall consensus in the Discord chat seems to be that this one is late to the party. And ugly. Seemingly official RX 7600 vs RX 6600 specifications comparison sees RDNA 3 GPU offer almost 2.4x compute performance with higher TBP Design-wise, you are not going to get something that will blow you away. I disliked the graphic on the screen bezel showing the RK2023, and it just looks a little bland. But this is a budget handheld and isn’t trying to be something it’s not. For emulator, select either retroarch, retroarch32 or standalone where applicable. For core, select your preferred core.

Corrects a condition where GPU performance does not save when set to Auto. Updates "default" behavior when configuring per system/game.

Documentation

You can change the splash screen by uploading a new splash screen image in the /roms/launchimages folder. The image must meet the following criteria: Note: Some emulation may feel less performant, use system/game settings to adjust the scheduler as needed. You can also update loading.ascii with your own ascii art if you prefer. You can also simply delete it. Q. How do I turn on the Text to Speech accessibility feature of Retroarch? A. Do the following: They are handhelds that are super solid, play games exactly as you’d hope, and are surprisingly comfortable. But they do not really push the boundaries in almost any way. Create and/or copy your public key to the /home/ark/.ssh/authorized_keys file. See this link for help on how to accomplish this if needed.
