Thank you! Wasn't sure whether boxart was actually possible on RK2020. Well now that pretty much covers all bases for me. Cheap, powerful, nice screen, nice UI. Ordered myself a RK2020! Again, love your videos. If you enjoy it, keep at it! :)

Hello, Great video!! I have question, which kind of wifi dongle are you using? I am planning to buy one, but I am not sure which one should I get. Thank You
The WiFi dongle I have was the cheapest eBay had to offer, it's black with a red stripe and has the numbers 802.11N , so a really basic one. Thanks for supporting by watching 👍🏾
Hi there SW PL Gaming thanks for the video and thanks for the other video on how to add more games as well, is that the only method or is there another way of adding emulators and games without not using the software package on your last video. Can I add any OPENBOR or MUGEN games to this device as well please, will be waiting for your reply and thanks for the tips and tricks that your showing us about this device.
Thanks for the kind words and support. I will be honest, I have not yet seen anything of that nature as yet. There are videos out there in regard to other forwarded and emulators. Check out a UA-cam soniclove he has great content on different emulators and firmware types. As for openbor and mugen, unfortunately I have not seen it.
@@SWPLGAMING Oh no nothing new, it was a question on the previous version of the video but wasn't sure if you saw before you took it down. I wondered if you could explain the folder structure for ROMs across each platform - some I seem to be able to put in the root folder (e.g. snes) but other ROMs aren't a single file.
I would like to know this as well. I don't have a dongle and want to adapt my RetroArch thumbnails over to the RK2020 and am not having any luck trying to trial&error my way there.
@@SWPLGAMING Yes Emuelec. I think I might have a wifi dongle that doesn't connect. Can you link yours and also how I add themes to my device, as in where I download and what file types, how to add them to the SD card. Thanks
Hey buddy, have you tried adding another emulator to the console before? I just wanted to know, am still waiting for mine to arrive. If we can add another emulator like ppssp gold, we can play with the settings and make PSP games run faster.
u could try different settings inside the game. press start inside the game and the ppsspp settings open up, mine were set to 2x resolution as default which work fine for some games but more demanding games you will have to drop it to 1x, so just watch outfor that!
I'm using a scraper on PC and can't get the game logos to show up like yours. They're enlarged too much and take up the whole screen. Are the logos shown on the screenshots part of the screenshot image or are they separate logo images? I'm assuming separate because they move when there's a video. If they're separate logos can you tell me what folder they're listed under in media for your roms?
I have not used scraper on pc. If you mean the logos for the different systems or brand, I'm not really sure. If you mean the box art, normally the scrape will put things in there correct place automatically without you needing to do it.
@@SWPLGAMING I meant the logos for the games. The pc scraper downloads game logos and puts them in a folder called "wheel" in the media folder for the system. Wondering if it's the same for the scraper on the handheld...
@@SWPLGAMING ok well if you're ever exploring your rom folders on pc and notice which folder your game logos are kept in please let me know. PC scrapes it to the wheel folder, but it doesn't automatically set the path to it on device (weird because screenshots and videos work fine). It seems I can manually point to the wheel folder to get the logo to pop up, but I have to do it for each game... using the rk2020 virtual keyboard for a thousand games will be brutal lol. Might have to put off logos until I finally get a wifi dongle. Anyway, just makes me wonder if the logos actually belong in another folder or if there's some kind of error reading the scraped data.
I have the blue SD card reader that RK console supplied with the device but I think it varies from person to person, and that works pretty well. I believe the same principle can be applied to the OGA.
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, I tried manually putting in my SSID and tried three different dongles I had including a wifi-internet specific (not just bluetooth wifi) one and cannot find a network. When I try to find a network I press refresh but, it just blips for one moment and doesn't look like it even tried to find a network.
I know it can take a few mins to connect, but if you have tried 3 of those you may have a damaged unit. I have been using the £3 one from eBay myself so mine has no Bluetooth or anything fancy, just the bog standard.
i have the same problem. i got 2 wifi dongles for about £6. they look identical to the one in this vid. question to SW PL, does it say 802.11N on the top of the dongle? im sure its the same one.
hi, can we update the software? i got my rk and when i play certain game the image freezes and i have to close the console and restart it. it is, however, brand new. alliexpress, very complicated for returns. thanks a lot
HI Yves, there are a few different firmware types out there. Emuelec, Batocera and Retro Arena are the popular one's. I would suggest you look in to what firmware suits you best. Also I recommend you get a new Sd card with more storage like a 64gb or a 128gb,as you do not want to destroy the SD card that is supplied with the device. Then have a look at my "How to upgrade to a bigger SD card" video as I show you the process of how to flash the firmware on the new SD card. Hope that helps 👌🏾
That is a tough one, I don't currently use a mac, I'm really sorry. Maybe there is a video that will show how to transfer files from a mac to such devices👍🏾
You are not at a complete loss as I am sure someone has this device with a mac. Here is what we know, when you place the sd card into a windows pc, the pc does not read the files normally, I needed to use a 3rd party software call file manager for Linux(I think that's the Name) this allows the Windows pc to read the folders add and remove files to and from the sd card correctly. So I'm guessing that there must be a 3rd party software for a mac that will also allow you to do the same thing, I just don't know what that is as I never use mac. I hope that helps in some way👍🏾
You can and I have a video on how to do that, same principle but different firmware, but I'm not so sure that will fix the issue as you are still on a mac right. I just spoke to Retro Game Corps have a look at this retrogamecorps.com/2020/10/13/rg351p-file-transfer-guide/#WiFi
I'm not sure to be honest, I have not had a chance to find the folder. But I would say they are pretty small as the scrape video is only seconds long. I use a 64gb SD card so I should be ok. I'm upgrading to a 128 in any case.
@@SWPLGAMING im just worried when you have hundreds of games. i wouldn't want to allocate 5gb to video previews for games. i see that it didnt scrape any ps1 games. did you find out why it didn't work?
I hear you still, what I'm going to need to do is have more SD cards and switch out when I need to . I have a feeling I need to change the names of the folders, or maybe I have too many folder for 1 rom, I need to look into that.
If you mean a list of game's, I don't think it is possible. I was one of the first people to get this unit, and alot of time has passed since then. I'm sure now the game list has changed.
Thanks for this! Got myself a tp-link TL-WN725N and it's working great!

@@SWPLGAMING Thanks for your reply and will check other videos to solve this problem of mine.
Did you see my previous comment about the ROM folder structure? ☺️
I can't even see it you know. Did you discover something new about them?
@@SWPLGAMING Oh no nothing new, it was a question on the previous version of the video but wasn't sure if you saw before you took it down. I wondered if you could explain the folder structure for ROMs across each platform - some I seem to be able to put in the root folder (e.g. snes) but other ROMs aren't a single file.
is pretty cool , how much are these wifi dongles i dont own one atm
You can pick them up on eBay for about £3
If you already have the art and videos, what is the file structure for adding, and where do you copy while having card connected to your puter?
So far I have only tried via WiFi and dongle. I'm sure if you look around the Sdcard you may stable across the allocated folders.
I would like to know this as well. I don't have a dongle and want to adapt my RetroArch thumbnails over to the RK2020 and am not having any luck trying to trial&error my way there.
@@Slybo me too!
Mine has Host name aswell as Wifi SSID & Wifi key? What do I add into the Hostname? Mines not connecting.
Hi Erik, I'm not sure, your router should have all the information you need. Are you using Emuelec?

Wow that is a tall order. But many thanks for sharing your findings with the community, we all appreciate it 👍🏾
What dongle do you use? And does it work well on the OGA also?
I have the blue SD card reader that RK console supplied with the device but I think it varies from person to person, and that works pretty well. I believe the same principle can be applied to the OGA.
How to fix the N64 controls? On mine seems the C and joystick are linked :(
Hi Dossy33, I have not yet seen anything in regards to N64 controls. I would assume this will need a little tinkering.
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, I tried manually putting in my SSID and tried three different dongles I had including a wifi-internet specific (not just bluetooth wifi) one and cannot find a network.

i did see a message saying wifi enabled once but couldnt get it to come up again.
Yeah that's the one I have
Once it's enabled you just need to wait abit. As long as it says connected on somewhere it will be able to scrape or DL a theme

Mine should be coming in a well or so
So the box art comes with the video?
Yes, If you select the video option in the scrape settings. It does not always work for all games. Not sure why.
I want link copy full game for RK 2020
If you mean a list of game's, I don't think it is possible. I was one of the first people to get this unit, and alot of time has passed since then. I'm sure now the game list has changed.
how to add music?
I have not seen or heard anything about that if I'm honest,sorry.
