@@blacksunshine7485 I mean there are only a very small handful of PS1 games that would use it, that's about it; nothing that this can really run that needs a second stick. That isn't really the target they are going for; you'd be looking for a different class of product at that point.
Mine arrived a few days ago. Took about six weeks. It is very nice, but I have seen vids of upgraded emu software that can make it able to run many more systems.
@Jeremy Mitchell if you've ever dealt with retropie and use emuelec it's very similar in just learning how to compile software for the device and then getting the scripts to get it working correctly
I ordered mine. It came. Other than some Dreamcast games having small text this thing is amazing. Some n64 games are hard to control but to be honest I’m not mad at all it’s actual probably the coolest gadget I’ve got just put some Roms on it actually. Seeing Dreamcast games playing on such a thing is kind Of surreal to be honest. I don’t wanna ramble or be on this things band wagon but I will honestly say no regrets at all. It’s surprisingly robust to with options and stuff
For the price, and what it can emulate its a great little system. Except for me is suffers one major problem. The screen size! Again we have a 3.5" screen. Many of us want a larger screen devices. Anyway, if you check Sonic Love yt channel he has many long play testing vids of various systems for this device.
thanks for also pointing out the flaws. With these videos I always get the feeling people are just trying to sell me everything regardless of quality so thanks! 😃
@@kirablacknote This thing is a clone of the Odroid Go Advance. I've had my OGA since release and I love it but the buttons kind of suck. I recently bought a cheap RK2020 for the sole purpose of swapping parts out of it into my OGA. Notably the screen and buttons.
it is available in 32 64 and 128GB.. does it include more games in the higher storage or just higher storage and nothing more?? because i dont trust the quality of the memory card included.. if i ever buy this i will buy a separate branded 128gb memory card.
@Mysterious Ways Yeah, many just use a generic SD card. I would always put a brand card in. Even when my RG350 arrived, I took the original out (keep as back up) and put my own Sandisk card in and flashed Rogue firmware on it.
@@fonzitheman i have the rg300 and the external memory card included was broken within a week and i lost all the games with it.. i want this game console but i need to be sure that 32gb is the same as 128gb in terms of content so that i can just buy an authentic card.
Owned this, sent it back. Battery problems, light bleed from the screen, poor plastic shell and I know a lot of others have had issues. Wait to have a look at the Powkiddy RGB10 later this month or Anbernic RG351 end if August or the ZPG when it finally appears. We also have the Powkiddy A20 due soon (Retroid Pocket clone with shoulder buttons on the back). Hopefully they'll all be much better and more reliable than the RK2020!!
Just bought one waiting for it to come in, I had the RG350 before but in all honesty if you over charge it twice just by falling asleep for an hour or 2 it wont work I also found the RG350 for the price you pay that the screen is to dark especially in the game Medieval (one of the best games made) aswell as a few other darker games, so I purchased this and only found out about it today.
Mine bricked after less than a day. Charged it decided to play some 32X. Was playing Virtua Racing and it decided to turn off, hasn't worked since. Could have been because I went online and decided to download artwork. I've heard others with similiar problems something to do with downloads coming from official odroid sites
How can I add my own roms? Directly to the SD? Via WinSCP thru usb-c? How do you make a new sd of a larger size? Thanks. I know these are beginner questions, but... I am a beginner.
I really like your videos wicked - I just did a video myself and I have to say that this handheld is not very good. Mine overheats after 20-30mins of playtime, higher end games run very bad (only exception is the free ones, good luck adding your own, most don’t work ) takes 6-8 hours to charge, (it most likely will stay on while charging) playtime hours is less than 2 hours (thats it! It dies fast without warning and battery indicator is wrong btw, could use SPi flash fix bios but it’s not stable) boots up with hardkernel logo (weird, they just stole the boot up code....smh) battery placement is most likely loose and laying right on top of your motherboard and cpu and ram.... just a perfect storm to fry up your unit or short it out completely , (I had to fix mine so it doesn’t short out) some not shipping with firmware (lack of firmware support), some arriving DOA and icing on the cake....RKconsole lost my first shipment (since May) and I’m fighting them to get refund. They do not care if your unit quits or you don’t get it at all - no customer services at all!!!! ---With that said, please use caution with this unit because of the lack of ventilation and the overheating (not very reliable at all) - I don’t want folks to get ripped off by this shitty company. Your review was fine, your opinion seems to be new...but I don’t understand the affiliate link (why???) - but after a few more plays, you will discover more and more issues until it quits for good - I can’t even use mine anymore...good luck! And thanks for the review. -BAN
I've had mine for a while.. has some issues once you try to upgrade from the included firmware, many people in the RK2020 FB group have had their units run in the 70c range and nuke themselves. Unit won't charge while off without an spi update and even then isn't reliable. Don't use an AC adapter under 2 amps to charge it either
I've been thinking about it for a while now... Don't like the cheap looks. But the ips panel looks nice. U get psp option but then again, how well will it perform? It should do much better than, for example, A19 to get me interested. Plus all those talks about software stolen from odroid or smth... Anyway, thanks for the review, Wicked! Could have used slightly longer gameplays and maybe several different games for harder to run emulators. I mean, nobody really needs a lot of md/fc/snes etc footage, we all know they run well on these guys ;)
Try to keep gameplay short... Later on in the month will upload longer testing vids :D Find them here... ua-cam.com/play/PLQApxhzf4yR5m3poelQ_OhnE2Zc2lVsn1.html
I wish I had got one of these instead of the OGA. I had to assemble it out of the box, it cost me more, it was hard as hell to get I had to wait till it was in stock and it sold out the next day. The screen had several dead pixels because again you have to assemble it- so that means they never tested any of the fucking parts, there are a bunch of people getting broken parts and having to wait for new ones to put it together.... This is just you can just play.
It's more what do you like to play and spend. The Jungle of Handhelds... or bette nightmare of... Handhelds 👹 So many handhelds and they are all flawed in some way. Working on idea video's to navigate people to the Jungle. More lik the best handheld for $$$ or dreamcast etc etc... even for me making this kind of video's is hard .. because they keep releasing new ones 🙃
😃😃😃😀👍👍👍 very best handheld in my opinion X GPD pause You can do so many things with that device you can even use it as a tablet and it’s got Google play on it to in my opinion it best handle that I’ve ever seen
You need to get the MIB custom build..the stock is crap..you can see on my channel..I have Naomi, Atomiswave, Sega Saturn and N64 all emulators are running better on this build link in my vid to to get the build...great video as always
Wicked Gamer & Collector very awesome..am honoured to have you watch my channel...wow and yes I love trying to improve the systems I get and I have to say this RK2020 can do a lot! And I have the new purple colour arriving this week it looks epic! Keep up the fantastic work man!
I'm afraid the rk2020 won't be the best handheld of 2020. Controls are not the best, quality wise it's ok but not fantastic, same for the battery life. And main chip has a tendency to overheat! I experienced that myself, I was playing while charging and temperature reached 65°! So while charging, it's recommended not to play. Some people also reported issues with the battery which detached a little bit from the case and caused the cpu go overheat as well, leading in some cases to dead units. So pay attention to that "detail" if you buy it. And being a clone of the oga, nice thing is that I could take my oga's SD card and use is straight away in the rk2020.
Maybe is the best but is far from perfect: - Battery problems. (takes ages to fully charge) - No wifi. - Poor screen resolution. (pixels in games look deformed, so no pixel perfect.) - Materials are very very cheap. - The heat is atrocious.
I say spend the extra 20 bucks and get the Odroid Go advance. I bought this little piece of crap that wont even charge. The battery is a joke. I fully charged one time. The battery ran out so quick and then only recharged to 2 bars. And the charging light doesnt even come on when being charged. It only has 1 micro sd card slot for both firmware and games. If you dont have the special application that can read linux files you will struggle with this. It is very small in your hands and if you are wanting to use the same firmware that it comes with it on a bigger storage micro sd.... Good luck with that! You may need to clone the sd card. This firmware was modified from the Odroid so the buttons will not be the same. It does emulate well but still needs alot of work to stand up to the Odroid go advance or the Rg350
This is freaking sweet bout time someone released an awesome handheld..
This is not it. Has issues with getting hot, battery power etc. Wait for the Anbernic RG351 end of August or the new Powkiddy RGB this month.

I am waitng for a RG350 with a bigger screen.
They released with tiny display .. maybe they will do that .. who tell.
How many hour can play with this rk2020? My rg350 can play 4-5 hour Aling..
Does it play Atari Jaguar games?😅
