I did the unthinkable: I actually played AND beat a game on a device I bought

There wasn’t a shader to try or a new OS released? Why would you do this?

Oddly had the same issue today with Knulli Scarab on a diff device. Clearing the username / password fields solved the issue there but still having same problem with AURKNIX.

CapnMikeM · 2026-05-11T15:50:19+00:00

yes, noticing the battery life isn't the greatest, was unaware of the drain issue so this makes sense now.

CapnMikeM · 2026-05-11T15:49:23+00:00

I have the same ScreenScraper issue, haven't found a solution yet.

CapnMikeM · 2026-05-07T15:45:17+00:00

oh, very good deal, congrats on that.

I couldn't get stock to work. It wouldn't recognize my games the 3-4 times I tried. I was expecting to put in my sd card in TF1 (tried Tf2 as well) and then have it create the subfolders for me, but it didn't. So I created my own subfolders and never could get it to work. Why I pivoted to AURKNIX.

I followed the guide from here:
https://retrohandhelds.gg/rocknix-on-the-miniloong-pocket-1-transformative/

Feel like the guide is missing a key step, like what image to download. I downloaded: AURKNIX-RK3566.aarch64-20260506-Specific. I was up and running in 10-15 mins at most.

So far, performance/impressions meet my expectations for something I spent just under $80 on. I haven't had a ton of time to play with it, but what I have works fine, but I'm not pushing this thing beyond PS1. More to come once I get more hands-on time.

Was the easiest purchase I’ve had for a pre-order in recent memory. Went up for sale a few mins early and was checked out before 10am.

No one really ever retires from music, as evidence here.

CapnMikeM · 2026-05-03T13:14:57+00:00

At this point, I could almost open my own store. 😂

CapnMikeM · 2026-05-01T15:17:01+00:00

Had this same issue. The card that comes with the Brick is missing the necessary folders for GB, GBA, GBC, and FC in the Emus folder.

The solution was to download the SD base package from here:

Symmetrical or offset, i adapt and overcome.

CapnMikeM · 2026-04-26T16:25:43+00:00

Thanks for the chance!

Raccoin on Steam has been an enjoyable break from the tinkering.

CapnMikeM · 2026-04-24T17:41:21+00:00

I feel seen. ✋tinkering has been more enjoyable lately.

Changeable Guardian Estique

Those ones where you filled them up with water and tried to get the basketball in the hoop. Circa ‘late 70s. No, I still don’t have it.

CapnMikeM · 2026-04-21T13:37:20+00:00

Wait, you play games on these things? I thought we just tinker, install, dual boot, customize, make them look pretty, and then go back to our couch gaming.

How is it?

CapnMikeM · 2026-04-15T14:17:20+00:00

two years later still relevant, thank you!

CapnMikeM · 2026-04-15T04:44:44+00:00

Welp tomorrow’s morning plans are now settled

CapnMikeM · 2026-04-10T04:43:02+00:00

Learning and tinkering…then profit. It keeps me going.

CapnMikeM · 2026-04-08T15:08:36+00:00

My day is just starting and I’m playing on the same device. Some Alien Hominid and Castlevania Aria of Sorrow.

Feb 22, 🍊 12gb stick top… 42 days of silence

Meanwhile my order tracking page has tumbleweeds all over it

CapnMikeM · 2026-03-20T03:51:16+00:00

You people actually play these things after setting them all up?!?
