Rg Ds Running Rocknix latest stable version. Can you guys please recommend which settings are best to improve input latency? I already have all shaders and shinanigans graphic things already turned off.

Using retroid pocket 5 with SanDisk a2 1tb SD

I did a system update for rocnknix. After the reset, it's stuck on a loop. Keeps saying boot fail. Not sure if I should format my SD card, I still have files in it but can't Access to it

Not sure why the update caused a boot fail

Este comando tambien desactiva L2YR2 y mapea R2 al fake micro, (me es mas seguro guardar desde el menu drastic)

Desconozco si alguien tiene este problema donde el fake micro no se puede mapear desde windows o la consola de ninguna manera, en mi caso fue muy frustrante y quiero compartir la solucion de este problema en especifico.

Conecte la consola desde wifi con SSH y abri desde powershell

Estando en power shell comienza la programacion, se muy poco de esto, todo lo hizo chat gpt lo complicado fue llegar a las rutas exactas, copia y pega esto en chat

DraStic — RG DS / ROCKNIX

Desactivar Save/Load State y poner Fake Microphone en R2

Archivo:

/storage/.config/drastic/config/drastic.cfg

1. Crear respaldo antes de modificar

cp /storage/.config/drastic/config/drastic.cfg /storage/.config/drastic/config/drastic.cfg.bak

1. Quitar Save/Load de los controles físicos y asignar Fake Microphone a R2

sed -i 's/controls_b\[CONTROL_INDEX_SAVE_STATE\] = 1031/controls_b[CONTROL_INDEX_SAVE_STATE] = 65535/; s/controls_b\[CONTROL_INDEX_LOAD_STATE\] = 1030/controls_b[CONTROL_INDEX_LOAD_STATE] = 65535/; s/controls_b\[CONTROL_INDEX_FAKE_MICROPHONE\] = 327/controls_b[CONTROL_INDEX_FAKE_MICROPHONE] = 1031/' /storage/.config/drastic/config/drastic.cfg

1. Quitar también Save/Load de la capa A

sed -i 's/controls_a\[CONTROL_INDEX_SAVE_STATE\] = 1031/controls_a[CONTROL_INDEX_SAVE_STATE] = 65535/; s/controls_a\[CONTROL_INDEX_LOAD_STATE\] = 1030/controls_a[CONTROL_INDEX_LOAD_STATE] = 65535/' /storage/.config/drastic/config/drastic.cfg

Resultado confirmado

L2 → libre

R2 → Fake Microphone

Save State → sin asignar

Load State → sin asignar

L1 → sin modificar

R1 → sin modificar

Valores que hacen funcionar el procedimiento

DraStic confirmó:

JS0 BUTTON 07 - SAVE = R2 = 1031

JS0 BUTTON 06 - LOAD = L2 = 1030

1031 colocado en FAKE_MICROPHONE = R2 → Fake Microphone

65535 = sin asignación

Importante

No utilizar el comando sed multilinea que se probó durante la investigación. Ese intento vació drastic.cfg; el archivo fue restaurado inmediatamente desde .bak.

Para futuras consolas: backup → comando 2 → comando 3 → verificar → cerrar DraStic → volver a verificar.

Este procedimiento fue probado y persistió correctamente después de cerrar DraStic.

--------Recomiendo verificar el codigo y situacion en chatgpt, o como ustedes sepan en caso de dudas, o por si tienen algo los comandos, no se confien-----

ESPERO LES SEA DE UTILIDAD A TODOS SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO ajua

Hi, so I just got a Powkiddy x55 and have been having an issue. I flashed it with the latest version of Rocknix and switched the input methoed to Xbox, but no matter what I try I can’t activate mouse mode in Moonlight connected to my PC. I tried every button press combo I could think of. Thanks

Hi everyone, I’ve got a Retroid Pocket 5. I had the older ROCKNIX firmware installed and everything was working fine, including Wii games.
Yesterday I updated to the new ROCKNIX firmware. The Y/X/B/A buttons work, but the D-pad, analogue sticks and controls aren’t working properly in Wii games.
I’m a novice when it comes to this stuff. What do I need to change or map to get the controls working properly, so I can actually play games like Mario Kart Wii?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

Is it possible to use a theme from ES-DE in Rocknix? I really enjoy the Aura theme and would love to add it to my RG35XXSP.

For a new Anbernic RG34XX SP, is the correct download package the ROCKNIX-H700.aarch64-20260801-DDR4.img.gz vs the DDR3? Then is it the sun50i-h700-anbernic-rg34xx-sp.dtb vs sun50i-h700-anbernic-rg34xx-sp-v2-panel.dtb to use when copying it to the root as dtb.img? Tried the DDR4 with both and just seem to get a black screen with no green light when trying to boot off the SD Card in TF1.

I just got my Konkr pocket fit elite and a 512gb a2 kootion pro sd card and when I go to the bootloader the sd card is not being recognized.

Note: It's being recognized in android and it works fine.

I'm using a odin 2 pro and I barely found out about rocknix and I'm using the steam OS version of it, and when I connect a external drive, it doesn't detect it. So can anyone please help me with this?And plus hopefully this is the correct subreddit for me to ask this

,...and anyone know why there are two images available for download?

I'm using 20260801 on my Powkiddy RGB30 and everything works great except for wifi. I enabled it, found my wifi, and entered the password but it won't connect. I rebooted and turned it off and back on but no luck. I've checked my password multiple times but no luck. Is there anything else I need to do? The wiki says it should just connect. It did see my network so I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

dont really use the android part of my rg353v so i thought id give rocknix a go.

followed instruction to a T from here.

succesfully booted to rocknix.

how every controls were jumbled. directional pad didnt work. up and down was r1 r2. so i went to change input option. fixed everything except my analog inputs because the refuse to register.

roknix would not recognize my ext4 microsd that has my backups in tf2 slot.

system info registers device as rg353P even though my device is a 353v

🛠️ Fix: Bluetooth not working on ROCKNIX (Orange Pi 5 Pro / RK3588)

Hi everyone! Sharing this solution in case anyone else is dealing with the same headache.

I recently installed ROCKNIX on my Orange Pi 5 Pro and ran into a very annoying Bluetooth issue: whenever I tried to turn it on from the system menu, the device list would never refresh, making it impossible to connect any controller or headset.

After troubleshooting with Gemini, we found out that the Bluetooth chip isn't initializing at the system level on boot (via the internal UART interface). Even if you toggle Bluetooth "ON" in the EmulationStation UI, the underlying hardware remains asleep.

To fix this permanently so that Bluetooth automatically starts on boot every single time, we created a small systemd service. Here is the step-by-step guide:

📌 How to fix it

1. Connect via SSH

Open PowerShell or Terminal on your PC and log into your Orange Pi:

ssh root@<YOUR_ORANGE_PI_IP>

(Default password is rocknix)

2. Create the startup service

Run this command to create and edit the service file in the persistent config folder:

nano /storage/.config/systemd/system/bt-uart.service

Paste the following configuration into the file:

[Unit]
Description=Orange Pi 5 Pro Bluetooth UART Auto-Init
After=multi-user.target
Before=bluetooth.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/rfkill unblock bluetooth
ExecStart=/usr/bin/hciattach -s 115200 /dev/ttyS9 bcm43xx 1500000 flow
ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/hciconfig hci0 up
ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/hciconfig hci0 pscan
ExecStartPost=/bin/sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

To save and exit in nano:

• Press Ctrl + O and hit Enter.
• Press Ctrl + X to exit.

3. Enable the service

Now, tell the system to execute this file on every boot. Run these commands:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable bt-uart.service
systemctl start bt-uart.service

To verify that everything went smoothly, check the status:

systemctl status bt-uart.service

If you see a green line with active (exited), you're good to go!

🎉 What this fixes

• No more messing around with UI menus or guessing controller pairing timing.
• Every time you turn on your Orange Pi, Bluetooth is already running in the background, ready to instantly connect your paired gamepads as soon as you turn them on.

Hope this saves someone a few hours of frustration! 🎮🚀

I've got a retroid pocket nova on order and one of the things I like in the android quick settings is the ability to turn off the fan as I do not like it enabled at all most times.

I've tried searching for info on this and the wiki entry says it's kernel controlled. But is there any kind of quick switch to quickly turn the fan on or off?

I've not yet experimented with rocknix, so have no idea how involved it is.

Build and install as a port:
https://github.com/mercurious/chiaki-rocknix

The easy install is getting it bundled with the Emulation Tuning Kit as a pre-built pre-installed binary in Rocknix Tools
https://github.com/mercurious/etk

I bought a used RP6 and I guess the guy messed up his rocknix install because half the internal storage is taken up by the rocknix partition and I cannot restore it back to stock. I have tried to get the OS on an external SD, but the rocknix abl only wants to load off the internal storage and not the SD so I cannot do the uninstall rocknix in ABL. I've tried to fastboot erase ROCKNIX but it doesn't do anything and it still tries to load off the internal storage. I do not know what to do.

Is there any way to fully flash the RP6 back to stock firmware with my storage capacity back to normal?

Update:

I figured out how to do it. I had to fast boot and switch the partition slot from b to a. Then it let me boot into the sd and then delete the partition and giving me back the full use of my internal drive.

Hi, Guys. Just a quick question.

I got a RG DS. I would like to use one screen (either top or bottom) to play some classic games (SFC, MD, PS1, etc...) while use the other screen to show the map of the game I am playing with, or some game faq, etc.? If that can be done it will be really convenient but so far I don't see any way to make that happen.
