#RGB30
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.
Why yes, I like to live dangerously and play video games while I'm in the bathtub.

Anbernic Is Working On Another 1:1 Screen Handheld - Time Extension
"We've already seen the likes of the Analogue Pocket, RG Nano and Powkiddy RGB30, and now Anbernic is adding another system to the list in the form of the recently teased RG Cube..." #rgb30 #rgnano #rgcube #Anbernic

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": https://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 really like collecting retro emulation handhelds. 😊

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
https://github.com/nkahoang/es-theme-art-book-next-arkos
It looks amazing and makes RGB30+ArkOS an almost perfect combination.
The original Portal ported to Nintendo 64 running on the PowKiddy #RGB30 ! It runs great! How is this possible?!
More info on the port here: https://github.com/lambertjamesd/portal64/tree/61d225e9a438b917cfbd4cb544a2f0e62cdad2ca
This screen is unreal.
Today I did the dpad fix on my #rgb30.
When I was at it I replaced the thumb stick, too. I used the Anbernic RG353M hall-sensor analog sticks as replacement. The ones that are pre-installed are not bad but they were just normal ones. The next thing I did was replacing the a,b,x,y buttons with colored Playstation look alike buttons. I wanted a little color.
Best thing: Nothing broke and the rgb30 is still working 😉
Most info on how to do the mods I got from here.
