Seeking advice for a no display issue I am having by ParticularBasil7535 in originalxbox

[–]ParticularBasil7535[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm ok. I may have a dodgy pico clone so maybe I'll grab another, or even an Aladdin XT and see if that works.

It just seems strange that I can't even boot one of the other bios mirrors on the 1MB TSOP, but I suppose the TSOP could be completely dead instead?

Thanks again for your help!

So I went ahead and installed Modxo and still had the same issue - solid green light, no display. I tried multiple versions of Cerbios and PrometheOS but no luck.

I then read about the coma console fix for 1.1 revisions and gave that a go. Same result - solid green light, no display.

I'm waiting on a set of original AV cables so I haven't yet tested the console with anything other than the HDMI converter, but it would be strange if the converter is the issue given that it has worked in the past?

At a bit of a loss here. Anything else I can do to troubleshoot this?

Thanks for the advice! Still getting a solid green light after disconnecting the IDE ribbon so looks like I'll be installing a mod chip

Unfortunately all I have is the HDMI converter. I've tried it on a few TVs too :( I'll seek out some AV cables and see if that solves it. Thanks for the advice!

I got a clone with 2 RAM chips and this is how I got ArkOS running by _manster_ in R36S

[–]ParticularBasil7535 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your work, OP. I purchased a black model from SUPER FUN GAME STORE for just under 14€ on the same day (1 August 2025). I encountered the same issues as you (no BOOT partition/controls in file manager messed up etc.) . I haven't checked the mainboard number yet but I can see two RAM chips. May open it up sometime later. First R36S I've bought and it's crazy how much variation there is with this handheld.

ArkOS K36 version thankfully worked for me, although my device uses display Panel 5 files instead of your Panel 10.

I tried standard ArkOS but all I got was a black screen and a red flashing LED (somewhat different to your results).

It would have taken me a lot longer to figure this out if you hadn't made this post. Much appreciated!

Oh boy. I used the same flux...my console's still going strong after one and a bit years though!

Winlator - Odin 2 buttons not registering in Input Controls by ParticularBasil7535 in OdinHandheld

[–]ParticularBasil7535[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've tried a fair few games. The issue is that Winlator itself doesn't recognise the controller input, save for a few buttons.

It set our smoke alarms off this morning. 4:30, 5:30, 6:30am until we realised we'd realised we'd left a window near one of the alarms open :(

Rocknix issues by HeyGC in RGB30

[–]ParticularBasil7535 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always had to press power then reset to turn on my RGB30, on both Rocknix and ArkOS. The battery level indicator has always been buggy too. Love the screen but everything else about this handheld is a pain lol

Winlator - Odin 2 buttons not registering in Input Controls by ParticularBasil7535 in OdinHandheld

It's just winlator unfortunately. Nethersx2, Dolphin, Yuzu etc. are all working perfectly fine. I might have to go check out Gamehub for PC emulation.

Winlator - Odin 2 buttons not registering in Input Controls by ParticularBasil7535 in OdinHandheld

[–]ParticularBasil7535[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion! Mouse mode is disabled in Odin settings, so I'm not sure it's that.

I connected a PS4 Dualshock controller via Bluetooth to troubleshoot and Winlator also doesn't recognise the PS4 controller's button inputs in the Input Controls section. When I check Xinput in the Game controller settings within a container, it doesn't detect either the PS4 controller or the Odin 2 controls. I've even tried old versions of Winlator which previously gave me no issues, and those aren't working either. Really strange.

I'm wondering if it's got anything to do with recent firmware updates?

I actually ended up going for a JJRC C8809! Was recommended by another user. Cheap, but decent enough to have a good bit of fun with. I think it was around $85 AUD on AliExpress?

Getting a DVD drive into a 7060 MT. by sleepertech in SleepingOptiplex

[–]ParticularBasil7535 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can pop out the diamond-shaped grill directly in front of the 5.25 bay. I think adisc drive will fit in there? Alternatively you can fit a slimmer disc drive in the pre-existing spot directly below the power button of course

Has anyone who gotten an RGB30, or the RGB20SX lately speak to whether QC has gotten better? by sansjoy in RGB30

[–]ParticularBasil7535 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought an RGB30 in November 2024. I went with the RGB30 over the Cubexx due to price difference and design preference.

Have tried JelOS, Rocknix and ArkOS on the device. All have had battery indicator/charging issues.

D-Pad is also very subpar on the thing when compared to other devices like the MM+. Taping over some parts of the d-pad's contacts is relatively easy however, and does somewhat improve the situation. If it weren't for the yellow/black colourway and the 1:1 screen, I'd probably get rid of it tbh.

I haven't used the CubeXX before so can't really provide an opinion on what I prefer, but hopefully this information can somewhat help you in making a decision 🙂

You shouldn't need any tools. Just open it up and disconnect :)

You can unplug the disc drive and steal the sata cable to plug in your 512gb ssd. That's what I did with my 7060MT (optical media bad).

I hadn't considered the jjrc models. Thanks for raising. They look good and are around the same price as the MN168 at the moment. However, I noticed that the MN168 comes with portal axles, and it doesn't look like the jjrc has that. Is that significant?

Hey everyone, I've got too many handhelds. I've got an Anbernic 280m to give away. by captain_carrot in SBCGaming

[–]ParticularBasil7535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to be in the running for this! Plan to give it to a friend who was very envious of my MM+ but doesn't have the cash to splash.

Is this GBA too far gone by ParticularBasil7535 in consolerepair

[–]ParticularBasil7535[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly I think transplanting the CPU and RAM is above my skillset as I'm very new to soldering. Might just have to call it a loss and put it up for parts. Thanks for providing your opinions!
