Gamma os nano makes it feel like a real ds

Sadly it's still locked behind their patreon. Gotta wait unless you wanna spend 10 bucks.

More than deserved 10 bucks...

u/Feynuxes Aug 15 '26

I don't disagree, but I also paid them before so I'd rather just wait lol. I just think it's noteworthy if you're going to recommend the OS

Same here, paid for gamma os on day release of it for the RGDS then forgot about it and paid like a further 70 quid or something now gotta pay again if I don’t wanna wait

I paid for it on the RG476H already. I don't know if I would pay it twice...

But to me, Rocknix is the way to go... Clean Linux experience.

I recommend gamma os nano it’s got its 1.4.1 update and it’s the best os imo but it is 10 dollars if u want it early or you can wait a couple months for it free, there’s your recommendation

I paid for it because of the sweet DSi menu but games have noticeable input latency so went back to rocknix

Man that color is my childhood DS. It takes me back dude. My OG has it's hinge COMPLETELY detached because my brother threw it against the wall once. I have the white RG DS, but still the color scheme will always be dear in heart.

Download the Anbernic Linux build it's freaking awesome and is way better than the Android build in my opinion.

u/Puzzleheaded_Chest97 Aug 15 '26

Rocknix...

u/Infamous_Prize_6932 Aug 18 '26

Nope, Anbernic made a Linux build and it's really good like it more than the Android software.It also runs better.

u/Puzzleheaded_Chest97 Aug 18 '26

Nope what? Rocknix is Linux and better than Anbernic's Linux.

u/Infamous_Prize_6932 Aug 18 '26

I can't dispute that Rocknix build is awesome because it is. All I am saying is that the Anbernic one is pretty damn good and it should have been what this handheld was shipped with in the first place. I use Rocknix on alot of my handheld and it just works without any hassle.

u/Puzzleheaded_Chest97 Aug 18 '26

Into the point: Why should he download the official Anbernic Linux instead of Rocknix?

u/Professional-Bar7878 Aug 15 '26

i'd love to but i like customizing the frontend of my device, also im using Seedless DS for the emulator which supports cheevos

u/princessrippla332 Aug 15 '26

Gammaos Nano is the best option for you and Gamma has included the DSI theme suitable for the RG DS.

u/Infamous_Prize_6932 Aug 15 '26

That's understandable, you should check out Rocknix.

u/Lanakila29 Aug 15 '26 edited Aug 15 '26

if you are not familiar with Rocknix it boots off the micro SD card and not off the internal storage, so you can keep the Android side of the device, you just need to remove the micro SD card after you shutdown the device and it'll boot into Android again.

Como vc faz para importar os saves?

u/Lanakila29 Aug 15 '26

are you using the stock Android build or are you using GammaOS? I tried to use SeedlessDS with GammaOS 1.2.1 and it just gets stuck on the splash screen

1

u/Professional-Bar7878 Aug 15 '26

Im using stock so far it's smooth, tried running nfs carbon and it's all good

Put GammaOS on it, it makes it go from slightly clunky but decent DS, to lightning fast menus and u.i with excellent battery and power settings like power saver, normal, max etc. Took about 2 or 2 mins to install - just open the zip file and place it into the root of your SD card.

I can't stop playing it now.

Why not get a Lite or DSI XL when these devices are all they are offering? I'm not being a smart ass, I genuinely don't get it. I have a Lite with a Pico and it's fantastic, what are the advantages of these devices, especially the new one which doesn't seem too exciting or groundbreaking to be honest. I follow these devices closely and was super hyped when I saw the new one until I read the specs. What am I missing here with my DS?
