In Search Of an Older Version

Recently did the switch for my RGDS to a nightly distribution of Rocknix, using the most recent release. But it seems there are a few broken parts of that version, such as the Quick Menu for the bottom Screen and Azahar support. I'm sure it will be fixed eventually, but in the mean time I've been looking for workarounds and it seems only option is to downgrade back to an older version. However, the most recent version that did not have these issues is no longer on the github. Hoping someone knows we're to safely find the files.

Does anyone still have access to ROCKNIX-RK3566.aarch64-20260622-Specific.img.gz?

Rocknix Bottom Screen Quick Menu?

Made the switch from Gamma to Rocknix on the RGDSand so far am pleased with it. Performance on NDS games feels faster and overall, the interface feels like it moves a lot smoother. But I am having trouble with something that Retro Game Corps highlighted in his recent video. Apparently on the newest nightly distribution, when playing a single screen console, you should be able to access a quick menu when you tap the bottom screen. Seems very useful for save state manager. However for me, that does not happen. If tapped, the bottom screen just pauses emulation, which is resumed by tapping the top screen? For anyone else running Rocknix on the rgds, is there a setting I was supposed to turn on to gain this feature? I am on the latest nightly build of Rocknix as of yesterday.

Switch Emulation setup guide for Rocknix on Ayn Thor

Because ROCKNIX doesn't include a Switch emulator, the "Switch" category won't even show up in your menus by default. We have to add it manually. Open /storage/.config/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg in a text editor. Scroll to the very bottom, right before the final </systemList> tag, and paste this block:

  <system>
    <name>switch</name>
    <fullname>Nintendo Switch</fullname>
    <path>/storage/roms/switch</path>
    <extension>.nsp .NSP .xci .XCI .nro .NRO .nca .NCA</extension>
    <command>/storage/roms/ports/Ryubing.sh %ROM%</command>
    <platform>switch</platform>
    <theme>switch</theme>
  </system>

Next you'll need the actual emulator. Grab the latest Ryubing.AppImage (make sure it's the ARM64/AArch64 build for the Thor). Create a new folder on your handheld at /storage/ryubing/ and drop the AppImage file in there.

If you launch the emulator now and try to install firmware, your device will completely freeze. We have to do the installation on a PC first to bypass it. Install the normal Ryujinx emulator on your Windows/Mac/Linux PC. Open it, go to File -> Open Ryujinx Folder, and drop your prod.keys and title.keys inside the system folder. Then go to Tools -> Install Firmware -> Install from XCI or ZIP and select your firmware zip file. Once your PC shows the firmware version at the bottom right, the decryption is done and you can close the emulator.

Copy the keys from your PC's Ryujinx system folder into /storage/.config/Ryujinx/system/ on the handheld. Then copy the entire bis/system/Contents/registered/ folder from your PC and overwrite the one at /storage/.config/Ryujinx/bis/system/Contents/registered/ on your handheld. This bypasses the broken file picker entirely and permanently installs your firmware.

Finally, we need the script that EmulationStation uses to actually launch the games:

Place a game in /storage/roms/switch/, restart EmulationStation, and it will boot perfectly.

Should also work on other devices with a bit of tweaking.

Absolutely Stumped On MAME / FB NEO Samples

Howdy friends,

I cannot, for the life of me, find where the correct place to put arcade game audio samples in order to get them to play in games (Donkey Kong, Astro Blaster, etc).

I've got the new stable build of ROCKNIX installed on my RGB30.

I'm unable to locate any of the usual spots to place the samples.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Wi-Fi always on at boot; issue fixed in nightly builds?

I updated my Powkiddy RGB30 to the latest stable Rocknix build, but I still have the following issue: Wi-Fi is on at boot (based on indicator next to clock) even though it's configured to be off in the Networking menu and was toggled off on the previous boot.

I'd like to stay on the stable Rocknix build, but would switch to nightly if this (albeit minor) issue were fixed.

For those running Rocknix nightly on their RGB30, has this issue been fixed?
