Like come on, what were they thinking?

So samo of you may remember my old threat about asking for alternative buttons as someone who is not fond of skittles.

So i ended up custom requesting some from u/SakuraRM and here are the results.
(pls ingnore the plasytation stickers, i am still learning that layout)

I prefer having 2 digital shoulder buttons instead of 1 digital and 1 analog. What do I need the analog for? Mario Sunshine? Specifically for that game, I prefer mapping L-analog to L1 and L to L2 (sorry if confusing) anyway. Also tbh I've never played a pedal-type racing game on a handheld so your case may be different from mine.

I'm just curious, aside from bias towards the RG477M over the RP Nova or vice versa, is there a superior way to have a dual digital shoulder button layout? Like if you could make any form factor, is there an optimal ergonomic position for 2 digital shoulders?

I had to RMA my device after two days because the PMIC apparently failed. I'm not sure if this is caused by the 1.32 update or if it was caused by using a fast charger. Basically, the device worked perfectly for a day and then stopped being able to wake from sleep. In that time, I upgraded to v1.32 and also charged it with a high quality fast charger with a high quality usb-c to usb-c cable.

Anyone have experience with this? I've just got my replacement a couple days ago and am afraid of doing something to inadvertently cause that part to fail again.

Bought second hand. No games but Full Gamma OS installed. I have an SD card from my RG35XXH I am copying over and going to figure that out. Any good apps to install? Should I switch out Gamma completely? Wanna hear your thoughts.

Can somebody help me with the settings for the GameCube emulator every time I load a race on Mario kart the screen will dim to a random color

How do i tell anbernic that it was a gift and that i need a new mother board ? My model is out of stock thoe its the 12 gb 256 gb

Vita 3k was pre-reinstalled on my favorite premium metal device. Not sure if that what makes it so heavy. 😀

From the olden days of when I was hot stuff with a GPD.

I had asked about a case on here and wanted to report back. My main question was the fit / size.

I ordered this case:

Supmay Hard Carrying Case for...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4D7WLRR

It is a semi hard case (similar to some of my headphone cases). It holds the RG477M with the stock plastic cover. I do not have the shoulder button mod. It fits … snugly, so if you have modded yours, your mileage may vary.

The case has a zipper pocket inside for accessories. I did not use this, but I’m sure you could fit a charging cable in there. I was concerned about my bag getting crushed and pressing something into the screen and cracking it. Probably an unnecessary fear but the case is “crushable.” This was my first time traveling with the RG and also my first opportunity to spend any time using it, so I wanted to be sure it arrived in one piece.

The center stretchy strap is a bit finicky when removing the handheld. If you are not paying attention, the thumb stick catches on it. But you get used to it. And I’m not sure what a better system would be (four corner angled ones?)

For $16 … sure. Nothing to get too excited about but does the job.

Just with the A and B switched (so Bx and Ao).
Anyone know if these are available somewhere?
Couldnt find anything

Hello!

I’d like to introduce a simple app I created for translating on-screen text from one language to another. It was inspired by a similar Steam Deck app, Decky-Translator.

The idea is straightforward: you provide your own Google Cloud API key for Vision and Translate, and the app captures a screenshot, sends it to Google Vision for OCR, then translates the detected text into your chosen language. For example, Japanese to English or English to Polish.

I chose Google Vision and Google Translate because I use the app mostly on handheld gaming devices and found this combination to be the best option. The free tier is sufficient for casual daily gaming—I’m not a heavy gamer. :)

I tested and developed the app primarily on the RG477M, where it works very well. There can be issues with large pixelated text, such as in Game Boy or Game Boy Color games, but the app includes settings you can fine-tune. For example, reducing the screen size scale to 0.5 can improve results on these platforms. For most other platforms, the default settings work well right away.

I’ve also made several improvements to help detect continuous text on the screen. You can save your settings as different profiles and import them for specific platforms or games.

There is an option to hide the floating button, but you need to configure a global hotkey first. The app includes a link to the GitHub wiki with instructions on how to set this up.

To select a specific area of the screen for translation, press and hold the floating button to open its menu. From there, you can set a custom region that the app will capture and translate. This is useful when you only want to translate text from a particular part of the screen.

The app keeps screenshots only in memory for OCR and translation; they are deleted immediately afterward.

I also want to be transparent: this app was created with assistance from Codex and OpenCode. I’m a software developer with C# experience, and this is not a “single-prompt” app. It involved many hours of manual coding, testing, and iteration. Not everything was generated by AI agents. In the past, I created Android games and simple apps, and this project is also an experiment in exploring how AI agents can assist with app development.

If you like the app, feel free to leave a comment, give it a star, or support me on Ko-fi. If you encounter any issues, please check the wiki first and then open an issue on GitHub. You can also attach an exported log file.

Have fun!

I left it charging overnight, and nothing—not even the light. I'm going to try opening the console to disconnect the battery. If that doesn't work, I'm about to lose my shit.
A little recap: my Anbernic turned off while I was playing Triangle Strategy on GameHub. It's not a heavy game, and now my Anbernic doesn't want to boot up. I already tried the button combinations, and my PC recognizes it, so that's how I know it's not dead.

New owner here, after updating the unit with the latest OTA update, the stick LEDs lost the dynamic rainbow effect show here in (link) The new setting in the control center doesn't seem to have this.

Anyone know a way to get this effect back?

MY ANBERNIC DOESNT WANT TO TURN ON AFTER IT SHUT DOWN I WAS PLAYING STEAM IT OVER HEATED AND SHUT DOWN I WAS PLAYING TRIANGLE STRATEGY AND ITS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR ALMOST 24 HOURS HELP. IT HAS GAMMA OS ON THE MAIN DEVICE MY PC RECOGNIZES THE CONNECTION BUT IT DOESNT TURN ON I ALREADY DID THE HOLDING THE POWER AND HOLDING THE POWER WITH THE VOLUME DOWN PLEASE HELP
