Welcome to the rk2020 wiki!
Contains info about Retro Arena for the rk2020 unit.
Although this image is based off the work of slaminger and his team, IT IS NOT SUPPORTED BY SLAMINGER OR HIS TEAM. Do not seek assistance from slaminger as he will not and CAN NOT ASSIST you with this image as the rk2020 is not supported and this image has been customized enough that he CAN NOT ASSIST you with this image. If you need assistance, get a Odroid Go Advance instead. Your best possible avenue for support is on the Retro Game Handhelds discord server on the rk2020 channel. My support for this image will be minimal as well. I make no guarantee on support or capabilities of this image. Use at your own risk!
Updates, Changes, and Tweaks to the image include the following:
- The roms folder is on a separate NTFS partition for easy management of roms and bios files from a Windows XP or newer computer without needing a separate program. Just pop the micro SD card into a card reader and look for the drive letter named EASYROMS and start loading and managing your roms and bios files there.
- Updated the global hotkey to the start button instead of L2.
- Remote access services (SSH and Samba) are disabled by default for security. They can be enabled by going to Odroid options and selecting Enable Remote Services from the Emulationstation menu.
- Stability tweak for RTL8812/RTL8811 wireless chipsets. (Disabled USB and wireless chip power saving in the 8812 driver which causes wifi drops on this chip. From my personal testing and use, SSH sessions are much more stable now.)
- (Dreamcast) Flycast xtreme core is available and has it's own menu from named Dreamcast xtreme. Some games run faster on this core. The regular Flycast core is available as well as some games don't load on the xtreme core.
- (Nintendo 64) Default N64 core is Parallel 64.
- Possibly some other tweaks I can't recall.

Windows users:
- Download the image from (https://mega.nz/#!TFBkiAaK!qZGZaBJGEhF1AHObyaEP_k2FQ_gwjXxrb-AfjZy4kNM).
- Uncompress the image with 7zip (Can be downloaded from https://www.7-zip.org/download.html)
- Use a program such as Win32DiskImager (https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/) or Etcher (https://www.balena.io/etcher/) to flash to a 8GB micro SD card or larger. (16GB SD card or bigger recommended!)
- Insert into rk2020 and power on the device.
- Device will reboot twice as it expands the NTFS partition to fill the rest of the micro SD card.
- Device is ready once the Emulationstation menu is displayed.
- Add the roms to their respective folders in the respective folders on the EASYROMS NTFS partition.
- This can be accomplished by either using either network connectivity (samba share or ftp) or by shutting down the device (start + power) then inserting the SD card into the computer.
- Insert the SD card back into rk2020 and power it on if you removed it to load your roms or reboot you device and enjoy!
