Product Information

I was using Paragon software to add, remove, or modify files on the SD card and now my unit won't boot with the card. What could be wrong? If you'd like for ssh to always remain enabled, just type sudo systemctl enable ssh from within a ssh or terminal session. The RK2023 uses an RK3566 chip and supports multiple open-source Linux systems. It also features stereo dual-channel speakers and a unique shape design, making it an extraordinary product. The Powkiddy RK2023 is available in two color options and can emulate simple retro games up to the 16-bit era. When using an external controller, only Retroarch based emulators will be automatically setup when configured through Emulationstation. External emulators such as standalone mupen64plus, PPSSPP, and SCUMMVM may need additional manual configuration via SSH. Powkiddy keeps things very simple with a single boot Linux OS, which is how I like it. I don’t really want or need Android on a budget handheld.

Extract the .img and flash the image to your microSD card using your favorite image writing tool (Balena Etcher, Raspberry Pi Imager, Win32 Disk Imager, dd etc.) If Emulationstation doesn't load due to a bad configuration of the es_systems.cfg file, you can load BaRT and So let’s review: The Powkiddy RK2023 is a device that feels great in your hands, has really good buttons, one of the best screens on the market, and plays 8-64 bit games nearly perfect. Q. How do I use the HDMI port? A. With the unit powered off, plug the device into your HDMI TV or monitor. Then power the device on.

Upgrading Manually

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.

The Powkiddy RK2023 can comfortably play Game Boy Advance, Game Boy, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Dreamcast, PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64, and PSP games. The RK3566 struggles with anything higher, but considering the budget price, it’s still a decent handheld. Just pop the micro SD card into a card reader, plug it into your Windows 10 1703, Mac OS X, or Linux computer and look for the drive letter named EASYROMS. This is one we had not heard of up until yesterday when Powkiddy gave developers the go-ahead to share the news. JELOS now waits for automount to complete before starting EmulationStation to correct a condition where ES sometimes loads before games are available.Support will be limited for this feature. If a video/movie doesn't work on this, try a lower resolution or just use a more suitable device like a smartphone. If you wish, you can place your ps1 games within individual sub folders within the /roms/psx folder. For example, you can put all of your Metal Gear Solid cue/bin or chds within /roms/psx/mgs folder and this tool will still work.

If we had to give it credit for anything, it does have HDMI out for television connections. Which I think is an underrated feature on some of the current handhelds. I love it.

But if you are in the market for a device that can play 8-64 bit era consoles quite well, this might be the perfect device for you. Updates SDL to 2.26.0 , Linux to 6.0.11 (RG552 and x86_64 only), Python to 3.11 (Thanks to @CoreELEC), and Mesa to 22.3.0. Anybody who has a lot of experience with current handheld emulation devices will not be impressed by what the Powkiddy RK2023 has to offer. The scene is starting to move on from that RK3566 chipset.

Installation

The dpad doesn’t look great and you’d expect that it might slice your fingers up with those sharp edges. But it’s totally fine once you’re actually playing games. The Screen 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. This release of UnofficialOS brings mostly updates, along with numerous bug fixes, multi-panel suppport for the rk3566 devices, and initial support for the PowKiddy RK2023. Installation Fresh Install

Then go to the Options section in Emulationstation just above Retroarch and select PS1 - Show only m3u files.The Powkiddy RK2023 is a new horizontal game handheld that features a 3.5 inch 3:4 format screen. And it does have micro HDMI out, which is a feature I love. So in 2023 – this new RK2023 will not be the most aesthetically pleasing device to release. It will also not be the most affordable. Nor will it have the most features. So our ArkOS, AmberElec, Jelos type firmware will all apply here, since those have been developed for an RK3566 chipset many times.
