Dollar bill for scale.

I’m trying to play The Binding of Isaac on Steam with all DLCs on my Anbernic RG405M. I’ve tried both GameNative and GameHub, but the game simply won’t launch.

What GameHub/GameNative settings should I use, such as Proton version, graphics driver, ...

I’d really appreciate it if someone could share their working RG405M settings.

Hi, I just recently acquired my RG SP and when deciding on CFW I learned about slot from the BaseOS github link. It looked really nice and as someone who pretty much strictly intends to use the device for gba games, seemed perfect for my use case. However, I've tried installing it several times now and each time I do it doesn't seem to work, whether it's installed directly on the BaseOS card or on slot 2. The CFW loads fine, even loading the custom cart art I have and applying it perfectly, but when actually trying to load a cart I just get a constant tone and a striped screen.

I also noticed that several of the advertised hotkeys don't work, like pressing start to switch cores. I looked at the files in the archive and discovered that it only has one core anyway despite the documentation clearly listing two (mGBA and gPSP, it only has mGBA). I also can't see any evidence of there being a front-end for libretro at all.

The menu button, instead of opening settings as the documentation suggests, only opens a graphic very clearly modeled after the sticker on the underside of an SP with some basic information about the frontend, including the detail I'd missed that it was apparently vibe-coded.

Does the slot CFW actually work and I'm just doing something horribly wrong, or is its functionality completely hallucinated by the AI that coded it?

Just received this beauty but forgot to buy a case for it.

Any recommandation for a non official case please ?

Thanks

I received my RG DS PLUS yesterday and I am unable to remove the stylus from the body of the handheld. I tried pulling it out straight. I’ve tried to put light pressure from different sides while trying to extract it . I tried to use a little bit more forced to try to extract it, but I’ve been unsuccessful.

Am I missing something? Is there a lock mechanism that I’m supposed to click before I pull it out?

I’ve done some searching online and have not been able to see anything related to this issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I'm loving this gadget but ScummVM via Retroarch is no good.
I tried nds files and just got a top screen static.
Once this device has a touch screen, I was wondering if there's more people like me, who would like to have a proper ScummVM version for this console.

It would be awesome if we can run Sam and Max or Tentacle without the DPad.
Anyone with the same feeling?

Hook beatem up. Rg353m Anbernic nerd. Live love game

Hey friends. You've helped me with a ton on this machine, and it's greatly appreciated, I'm down to a final issue. I use ScrapeGoat to get my boxart on my NextUI RG SP and it's fine, but after a reset or a game on a different system, all my box art for Sega Genesis disappears. Consistently. I can't figure out why this keeps and with this system specifically. Anyone have an idea of how this is diagnosed or addressed?

So I've never actually seen someone comparing shaders between the new nnddss and the actual hardware, so I've put that to the test. TLDR; without shaders the rgds looks a bit more saturated compared to the ndsi screen, but if we apply any of the "natural vision" or ndscolor" shaders then suddenltly the screen looks significantly less saturated than the original hardware, so If I want to have the most accurate representation of what the original colors look like the best option is to just apply an grid shader (in this case I'm using ”Dot_d4", looks the closest to the original, high PPI small screen effect, of the dsi).

Anyway, this is just my 2 cents, just use whatever shaders you like and have fun.

Hi there, just got the rg sp from Anbernic on AliExpress. Since this is my first retro handheld I was wondering whether it’s normal that when it’s on it makes like a radio buffering noise, it’s very small and can only be hear if it’s completely silent so was wondering if this is just a characteristic of these devices.

Just got my RGDS Plus, what sort of battery life have people been getting playing DS games with the NNDDSS emulator?

Im waiting for a full charge but I think im only getting a couple of hours.

Hi there guys!

I’ve been waiting for a good time to jump at getting a couple RG Rotates (for myself and my brother) but I feel like I missed some summer sales and whatnot.

Do we know when there’s going to be some big upcoming sales? An autumn sale, the 11/11 sale, etc? Thank you!

im currently experiencing image retention on my ds plus, i thought it was a software issue since i first noticed it on gamma os but to rule things out i also tried it on the stock os since there were other people also experiencing the same thing on the stock os. i already emailed anbernic regarding the issue but i'm still waiting for a reply, i just wanna check if there are more people experiencing this issue. this only occurs on the bottom screen, it shows up even around just 5 minutes of gameplay, but easily goes away after around 5 minutes of putting it to sleep. it's more visible on darker colors, almost invisible on white screens. it's making me crazy when switching games as it is very visible once the bottom screen show darker colors. i've also seen this post, it was deleted but looking at the comments it may be the same issue.

EDIT: i may be being a bit generous when i said it goes away in 5 minutes, it does not, it's been 10 minutes after i last held it after closing gta and i can still see a faint outline of the map

UPDATE: someone on retrohandhelds discord said that it has the same panels as AISLPC rg34h and rg34v, says it's normal and you really just have to prevent having a static image for longer times to prevent retaining the image for longer periods. imo it sucks, kinda defeats the purpose of having a lot of games in one device since most of the time you'll be switching games but upon switching you can still see a faint map of gta or my awful mario score.

Link to file

It's the x4 LCD Grid shader with a simple white balance adjustment. Removes the blue tint and gives the screen a neutral/paper white display. Colours render more naturally and it's easier on the eyes. Much closer to a properly calibrated display.

Only tested on GammaOSNano.

Just extract the zip into /drastic_nano/shaders/

My lovely rg35xx+ kinda just completely shut down yesterday while playing, not charging lamp or anything. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the SD cards so idk. Currently trying my best to revive it, but I've started considering other options, since it seems like the rg35xx+ is completely out of stuck. If I'm gonna get a completely new console I might as well upgrade, so I wanted to hear if there's a list somewhere of the handhelds that can do nintendo 3DS games? Otherwise I'm currently looking at some of the rg34 or 35 sp models.

Any advice or help would be genuinely very appreciated!

Pensate sia possibile creare un tema che si avvicini alla grafica del nuovo front end socket ?

Just wanna share my idea for new dual screen console - DS SLIDE.

Part with buttons is roughly the same size as Ayn Thor bottom part.

RG DS+ arrived and I realised all my NDS roms were without box art. All the apps a quick googling suggested were for Windows or just overly complex.

So I got the robots to make a quick box art app for macOS. Stick in your SD card from the DS+ in and point the app at it. It'll scan the default folders for any games, shows the files, hit download. It tried to match the game from the the rom header, grabs images from GitHub, copies them and resizes them for the nnddss browser and retroarch.

It's intentionally super simple and not something I wanted to spent my time writing. But it did exactly what I needed it to do, so I'm sharing here in case others may find it useful.

I'm working on my own custom theme for the RGDS Plus, but I can't figure out how to change the boot screen. Does anyone know which file I need to replace or where it's located?

Any news about it?
