#RGB30

2025-10-30

I think I've fixed the problem I was having with my #powkiddyRGB30 . I got a new SanDisk ultra 16gb SD card and flashed it with #ArkOS. I haven't had an issue with my games going missing after several reboots so hopefully this is the end of it! Had to reinstall all my ports but it was doable.

Got myself a used #POWKIDDY #RGB30 #RK3566 #RetroHandheld as a VERY belated birthday gift for myself! People seem to largely get this type of device for retro emulation but I am just as excited for #portmaster and #pico8 in a handheld form factor!

Just got my #rgb30. However, it refuses to see any Wi-Fi AP and it doesn't work when I enter one manually. I've been a software developer and iot/home automation person for eons, so I know it's not something I'm doing wrong. And in the neighborhood I live in there are dozens of Wi-Fi SSIDs being broadcast.

Did the rumble mod for the #rgb30 today. Wasn't complicated and adds a nice touch to the console.

I wonder why it did not come with a rumble motor pre installed. A place for the motor and even solder pads labeled moto are all ready on the PCB. Well probably to keep manufacturing coats low.

You can see a white filled empty circle where the motor goes and if you zoom in a solder pad labeled moto.

PowKiddy RGB20SX: A Little (Less) Magical -- Retro Game Corps

"The PowKiddy RGB20SX is a vertical version of the beloved/hated RGB30, with a couple improvements and a couple setbacks too. Let's take a look at everything..." #retrogamecorps #rgb20sx #rgb30 #rgb20s #PowKiddy

It's clear to me now that owning just a single #retrohandheld is not realistic. It's more sensible to own ALL of them.

But how do you seamlessly move between them, keeping your saves and states?

Enter "Syncthing": syncthing.net/

Syncthing is available just about everywhere and keeps folders in sync between devices. I've just spent a few days getting this configured on my devices and it works (mostly) great!

Read on for some tips...

Testing my #spacesim on the #RGB30. If you like cozy space trucking, this might be your jam. Oh, and yes, it's called Hauler. #gamedev #pico8

Got distracted from emulated GBA Advance Wars by Lab Cat on the #pico8 . The 4 inch square display on the #rgb30 makes it ideal as a Pico-8 handheld system, but I don't want you (Yes. You!) to miss out so here's the link to play the game in a browser.

Looks like my #PowKiddy #RGB30 got here a week early, and something else #DigDug slipped into my cart when I ordered more batteries. #RetroGaming

I see there was another JELOS update yesterday, 20240121, for all devices. Woot! Under the Change Log, there is "Fixes a long standing issue with RK3566 devices causing drain after being charged while devices are powered off." So no longer coming back to the RGB30 after a few days of non-use and seeing it's nearly dead? That will be awesome!

Sincere thanks to the developers of JELOS for all their hard work.

I just finished playing Legend of #Zelda: Oracle of Seasons on the #Gameboy Color (via #RGB30). What a great game! Lots of complex puzzles and challenging boss fights, and really cute graphics.

Even better, I had no idea that Seasons interacts with its sister title "Oracle of Ages" via a password system. Complete one game and it gives you a password which you enter into the other game... this lets you play through the other game as a sequel, with modified plot and extended ending!

Possibly one of my most niche toots ever... some clever person has ported the best aspect of #JelOS - the theme - to #ArkOS for the #RGB30

github.com/nkahoang/es-theme-a

It looks amazing and makes RGB30+ArkOS an almost perfect combination.
