I recently bought a powkiddy, and suddenly I started having the problem that it does not provide video when selecting a game, only the audio was heard, but I found your video and tried the solution, and it worked 100%! There isn't much information about these problems with the powkkiddy, but in this video you explain everything very well, thank you very much!
I buy porodo pdx623 I just removed the os sd card and game sd after I put it back. Then some games are not opening.. some games are no visuals only audio hearing. Any one can help me..?
you can use your games on the second sd card. all you need to do is go to setting -> advanced -> scroll all the way down untill you see "switch to main sd card for roms". that simple
If anyone has tried to set your second sd card in the settings and it says not found remove as card insert into pc and open the sd card it will prompt that it needs to be repaired. Run the repair and put it back into your device and attempt to have it read the second card again and it should work
You have just saved me!! Thankyou 😁 I'm travelling alot over the next week and really wanted this working and you have made it so. I had trouble saving etc and realised I needed to upgrade my SD cards. Had no idea how, loads of tutorials with jargon. You made it so easy ❤
took a minute to download everything but seems to be working spot on for me, my issues started when i tried to transfer OS to new better SD card, appreciate the walk through
Help plz. Ok so I'm stuck at the screen before the restart at the 8:358:36. At the bottom it says the partition table has been altered. There is no more text after that.
Ok, i tried this on a BRAND NEW SD card (i used an old one without realizing it was corrupted beyond repair), it worked like a charm, but to use the other slot, you just have to head to options > advanced, scroll to the very bottom and you can change the SD slot you want to read the roms from.

@scaryifliteral 10:00 don't do it that way, just go to "Options", then "Advanced", use the right joystick and make one move up so you go to the last option in the list faster and you will see: "switch to main sd for roms", select that and let the gameboy do it's job and enjoy.

@@nassbeajj1094 For OS i use SanDisk, and the games slot is better with a Samsung. The Samsung i use for games (my Powkiddy does not recognize SanDisk in the game's slot), is a "U3 - V30 - 128 GB" that is fast as you see. And the OS runs with Sandisk "C10 - U1 - A1 64 GB". But as i tell you, you need SanDisk for OS, and Samsung for games.
Not OP; but, I'm looking up what I need to patch up my R36S. According to Redditors who've already done what I've got to do, these "Game Console" devices can't read SanDisk or Lexar cards in Slot 2 - the ROMs slot. That would also apply to any store brand cards made by them as well. You pretty much can only use Samsung or PNY made cards. Nobody knows why it is, just that it is that way. I think TeamGroup is another brand that'll work. Interestingly, Slot 1 - the OS Slot couldn't care less what brand of card you use in it. Maybe Powkiddy is using the same parts as the "Game Console" brand handhelds and as a result has the same incompatibilities?

I had issues saving and loaded a saved state and I was watching videos to try and figure it out but didn’t wanna do all the extra steps but I literally just took out and reinserted the sd card with ark downloaded on it and now it’s working just fine so maybe try that if you don’t wanna go through the hassle of the steps
I have this. I got the 64GB version. It was all going smoothly up until one time when the Dreamcast and PS1 games won't start. So, I googled and saw this video and another one with the same problem. I followed the steps of the other YT video using a new SD card for the OS. And I even bought a new 256GB card for the games. The games SD card won't load, much like what happened to you. So, I thought that maybe, the Powkiddy RGB20S can't handle sd cards that big, so I tried to copy my files into a different 64GB card that I have. Still didn't work. The other person who made a similar video said that he had success using a 128GB card, so I bought one. When I set it up, still, it didn't work. Following your video is now my last resort to increasing the SD card capacity of my Powkiddy RGB20S. It just sucks that it is so sensitive as to what SD card it will work with. I hope that this time, it will work.
you need to make sure the sd card is in the format of FAT32 or simply just use a 32 gb sd.. but u can change ur sd card to FAT32 just look into it online
Thanks for the guide, it was exactly what I had to do! I do have a question if anyone reading this can help. I can't run the Master System games, when I checked the files on the microsd they are all zipped. I tried unzipping a couple but it didn't work either. Any suggestions? TY!
Someone may know the Solution to my Problem: I changed the keybindings from the DraStic emulator on my PowKiddie RGB 20s and now i cant navigate through the menu cause my bindings are ducked up.

I experienced the same error very quickly and bought two new sd cards. Thanks for explaining everything now. What I'm wondering is, did you transfer all the games on the broken sd card to the sd card where you installed arkos or to the second sd card, I couldn't see you doing that in the video. Maybe you've said it, but unfortunately my English is faltering in that part. Other than that, I understood everything.

Sir i want to change the slot 2 where roms are located sadly it wont read the card in slot 2
Once you save to slote 2.. go to the menu shut system down take card 2 out put it in your pc the put the games inn the correct folders...
Good thing you have this up. I ordered one and was worried something like this could happen I’ll just save your video in my favorite for just in case😂
I had issues saving and loaded a saved state and I was watching videos to try and figure it out but didn’t wanna do all the extra steps but I literally just took out and reinserted the sd card with ark downloaded on it and now it’s working just fine so maybe try that if you don’t wanna go through the hassle of the steps
the files on the rom is showing like 250gb of data, is that correct?
I have this. I got the 64GB version.
It was all going smoothly up until one time when the Dreamcast and PS1 games won't start.
So, I googled and saw this video and another one with the same problem.
I followed the steps of the other YT video using a new SD card for the OS. And I even bought a new 256GB card for the games.
The games SD card won't load, much like what happened to you. So, I thought that maybe, the Powkiddy RGB20S can't handle sd cards that big, so I tried to copy my files into a different 64GB card that I have. Still didn't work.
The other person who made a similar video said that he had success using a 128GB card, so I bought one. When I set it up, still, it didn't work.
Following your video is now my last resort to increasing the SD card capacity of my Powkiddy RGB20S. It just sucks that it is so sensitive as to what SD card it will work with. I hope that this time, it will work.
hi, how did it go in the end? I want to wxpand the 64gb version too
you need to make sure the sd card is in the format of FAT32 or simply just use a 32 gb sd.. but u can change ur sd card to FAT32 just look into it online
bro i lost the roms folder can someoen help me
I have the chinese one as well!! please tell me how to change the language!!! HELP
Thanks for the guide, it was exactly what I had to do! I do have a question if anyone reading this can help. I can't run the Master System games, when I checked the files on the microsd they are all zipped. I tried unzipping a couple but it didn't work either. Any suggestions? TY!
Did you go into RetroArch and try downloading a Master System core?
You know the 64gb card, which side are you supposed to put on?
Right side is mandatory. Left side is optional.
Do you have to buy two new sd card or just one for the powkiddy if I ever want to get new rom games install
You can add games to the card that's in there until it's full or it dies like mine did.
Someone may know the Solution to my Problem:
I changed the keybindings from the DraStic emulator on my PowKiddie RGB 20s and now i cant navigate through the menu cause my bindings are ducked up.
Is there a way i can reset the bindings without the DraStic menu (cant find the config file so far if someone know where its located would be great to!)
You figure this out bro? I did the same thing for the ds and now I can’t even control anything through the drastic menu
Will doing this transfer my save data I have in games as well?
i have the r35s clone - any idea how to get into the bios?
Think I saw your username over on Reddit with it solved but in case it isn't the same user, just hold the B button whilst you power up the r35s :-) Should load you into the BaRT bootloader :-)
@@Guitarwiz I'm also having a problem with my r35s. Would you mind sending me the link of reddit convo that can guide me in fixing my device? Would appreciate it. Thanks
@@mrjcflores1696 I would but UA-cam isn't letting any comments with links in them. If you are on Reddit or elsewhere I could message you the two I found :-)
Can i download it a win 10 or some operating system?
I just got the new powkiddy 2023 and got curious just to see what kind of sd card they had the roms loaded on (obviously cheap) and after I popped it back in there’s no system sound…this may be an option if they don’t let me return it for a new one🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😂
Yeahhh, i had the same problem on my rgb20s, thanks for your explanations !!!!! Peace !
Help, had more than 25,000 games and now just appear 7,000! What do i do?
They just stopped appearing on their own? No changes made?
I experienced the same error very quickly and bought two new sd cards. Thanks for explaining everything now. What I'm wondering is, did you transfer all the games on the broken sd card to the sd card where you installed arkos or to the second sd card, I couldn't see you doing that in the video. Maybe you've said it, but unfortunately my English is faltering in that part. Other than that, I understood everything.
The ROMs can just be copied and pasted once the OS is flashed to the card
@@shanecraigtech I understand, should we install the sd card with the games installed when the device is turned on?
where is the arkOS link?
How do i do this on mac?
Would this be possible with a Mac? I don't have a windows computer
I'm sure it is, but I couldn't begin to give you instructions
First thank you so much for the video man, thanks to you it works now, but, im still having an issue...i can't save the game, i tried with the in-game save but it doesn't seem to work, any advice?
You sir, are an angel! Thank you
it shows up as me having two partition 0, so i can't select the one i want
Same issue for me did you find a fix
Es mejor no hacerle nada a la consola para que funcione perfectamente??????
Thank you for your video it was helpful!!!
A family member had a problem with their device. Where it would not start up and the yellow light was on permanently.
Saw on another site: to hold the power button to re-boot it. 20 seconds or so and it worked perfectly...
Hola! desde Colombia un fuerte abrazo y muchas gracias por toda tu ayuda, quería saber si podría pedirte un favor. Resulta que la tarjeta donde venían los ROOMS se daño y no pude copiar ningún juego, podrías hacer un pack de todos los juegos que vienen originalmente y subirlos a drive o algo parecido para poder descargarlos? gracias! y gracias por el tutorial, no hay nada en español similar que ayude a la comidad latina.
me pasó lo mismo, pudiste encontrar algún pack con los juegos?
Thank you much. Saved xmas
That's awesome
games and rooms???
Did you just copy and paste the ROMS to the new sd card with os?
After the os was flashed, yes
thanks!
After I installed the latest ArkOS I can't play PSP games, can you help me reply to my message, thank you
same here man
@@lisawaters9528 Finally I found my own way, namely by installing the Amberelec os
@@fajri1172 merhaba acaba tam adını yazmanız mümkün mü linkini paylaşır mısınız nasıl yapacağım bilgim yok
Amigo llegaste a solucionar lo de el psp
never put link in desrcription btw
Why not? lol
@@shanecraigtech my games dont seem to save in gba do you have any idea why? I mean in game saves but when i restart system theres nothing there.
@@TARZ-676 You have to save with r1 and select. If you load into the game you have to press l1+ select to get to your save again
@kikoswish i got it brother ..just installed mew os. But yea im on rg353m powkiddy v90 ect thank u so much..👌📜🍄👁️🎮
Gracias Genio! funciona perfecto Saludos de argentina! like y Sub
I successfully used the RG3531MP Amberelec img to use on mine, flash the latest image to the OS card and format the second card to exfat and it will auto populate the card with the directories ready to be filled.. hope that helps someone 🙂
~Edit. Switching over to Unofficialos as amberelec has a low audio bug on RG20s, UOS has a img for the RG20s
UOS? link?
I didn't quite understood how formating a brand new SD card would suddenly "populate" the card with directories. I'm friggin noob to this topic ("flash" image) so it certainly is my lack of knowledge. thanks in advance.
Also where do you get that UOS image for this system?)
Great Video - Greetings from Germany
helped me with my r36s, thanks.
Wheres the linkkkk!!!
