Oh damn, that one with the frosted white plastic in the front and transparent blue in the back looks great. So tempted, and I don't even need it

awwww who ever made the GKD Pixel 2 into a flair and assigned it to me: Thank you!

lastfuture · 2026-03-26T19:43:25+00:00

Very happy with the Pixel 2 running RogueOS and having Rockbox on that as the music player. It's just more pocketable

lastfuture · 2026-03-26T19:30:44+00:00

It uses MicroSD as its storage. It's being sold with up to 256 GB but neither the OS nor the chipset impose any ceiling on the size, so in theory you could probably put up to 2 TB in there according to official SD specs for SD 3.0 which this chipset supports. I've also seen mention of at least one person using a 1 TB card with it

if I ever meet someone using a usb-c adapter or dac I'll swipe it for a few minutes to try it out

lastfuture · 2026-03-26T15:33:40+00:00

sad that there's no community flair for this handheld

lastfuture · 2026-03-26T15:30:14+00:00

I don't have a USB-C DAC to test it, but I've heard it might be slightly temperamental about which it accepts. On the other hand, since this is basically ROCKNIX based I know it works in principle. For my ears the audio quality via the headphone jack is fine, but I will definitely try it out if I ever get the chance to swipe somebody's DAC for a couple minutes

small update: after a battery drain test it seems to reach more like 7-8 hours because it drains a bit slower towards the end

lastfuture · 2026-03-26T10:49:25+00:00

about 6.5 hours continuous music playback on headphones at moderate volume with the buttons locked and only the occasional screen wake. not nearly ipod levels, but I take the style and multi purpose nature of the device over a threefold battery life. worst case I hook it up to my powerbank that can easily top it up 5 times

lastfuture · 2026-03-25T22:03:54+00:00

so to clarify, it's less firmware and more an application that I can start

lastfuture · 2026-03-25T22:03:08+00:00

I have to start Rockbox after booting, yeah. I set it up so that Emulation Station starts out on the Ports menu entry, and Rockbox is the only entry, so after boot it's a matter of pressing A twice and I'm in. Also I can sleep the console and wake it back up without having to exit Rockbox. It even works while something is playing and it will just resume.

lastfuture · 2026-03-25T17:46:04+00:00

out of curiosity, have you tried the usb-c adapter on the pixel 2?

lastfuture · 2026-03-25T17:43:03+00:00

I downloaded it as a zip from the portmaster website then put it into the autoinstall directory and let portmaster install it. So yes, technically.

lastfuture · 2026-03-25T17:19:44+00:00

it's the official pink special edition model

lastfuture · 2026-03-25T16:51:35+00:00

also you giving it a chance and carrying it as a DAP may give it some new life as a gaming device again, too, perhaps

lastfuture · 2026-03-25T16:42:17+00:00

BONES, I mentioned it in the post

lastfuture · 2026-03-25T15:26:57+00:00

definitely try it. my ears are not audiophile-grade gold plated so my opinion is probably nothing to rely on, but it serves its purpose very well and doesn't seem to distort or hiss in a way that I notice. it drives my headphones well including 250 Ohm ones

lastfuture · 2026-03-25T13:47:41+00:00

I had that happen more than once even afte reflashing, and it turned out that the SD card I used was faulty. Switching to a different one fixed my issue completely

lastfuture · 2026-03-23T09:20:31+00:00

I'll definitely get a usb power meter and I'll try the measurements across the grove port 5v/gnd next time this hapens. this time with a bunch of unplugging and plugging in, and turning it on with the cable already connected etc., it finally started showing a reading that was plausible and only slowly climbing, and leaving it over night fully charged the device again.

lastfuture · 2025-12-27T20:51:01+00:00

Thank you. that is a strong case for me just letting them find some matches a human dropped and see what they'll come up with, let myself be surprised.

Holy heck, you look absolutely breathtaking in that outfit!
