Batocera on x55 - initial test release

Batocera last version v43 has now a test release for the Powkiddy x55.

I won't give any direct link. To test it, head over the Batocera's discord and give them some feedback in order to make it official.

I'm currently pretty happy with Rocknix but given the quality of Batocera, it's good news for the handheld.

I'll test it as soon as possible.

Just got a brand new Powkiddy X55 with JELOS — preloaded games included, what should I do first? (Beginner help needed)

Hey everyone, I just received my brand new Powkiddy X55 running JELOS and I’m a bit overwhelmed 😅 I’m completely new to handheld emulation setups, so I wanted to ask what I should do first to properly set this up and avoid messing anything up. I bought it from GameClove (physical store in my country), and it already came with preloaded games.

So far I’ve only:
• Turned it on
• Browsed the menus a little
• Checked the built-in games
• Now I want to understand how to properly set it up and what I should add or change.

My questions:
- Are the preloaded games safe to keep, or should I replace them?
- What games should I add for beginners?
- How do I actually add games step-by-step?
- Do I need to change any settings first before adding ROMs?
- What are the “must-do” setup steps for JELOS?

What I’ve heard but don’t fully understand:
- ROMs and BIOS files
- Scraping box art
- RetroArch settings
- SD card setup

I’m not sure what’s actually necessary for a beginner and what I can ignore for now.

What I need help with:
If anyone can guide me step-by-step like I’m a total beginner, that would really help.

Especially:
- How to safely add games
- Where to put files (folders, structure, etc.)
- What formats I should download (for example PS1, GBA, SNES games)
- Any recommended “starter games” that run well on the X55

Thanks in advance, I really don’t want to mess up the setup 😅
