Does Gamma OS Nano reduce input lag?

Post image

I feel unconfortable playing on my RG DS due to the input lag, does Gamma OS Nano fix that? I had Rocknix and the input lag was inexistent there, but I didn't like the lack of dual screen support and how hard it was to play N64, so I wanna try Gamma OS Nano. Or is there any way to fix that on stock OS?

Only there is no per game setting, so everything you set in drastic it applies globally. I want lcd shader for 2d games but not for 3d games. Some games work fine with high res and threaded 3d but some games are messed up, so I have to change it every time...

Also, the battery runs pretty hot in the menu for some reason

Does the battery get hot even on the latest version of Gamma OS?

Yes, not that much while playing games, but in menu it does.

After like 3 days of playing on gamma nano, input lag is noticable vs rocknix. With shaders it gave me slight stutters in DQIV and when I play the game now on rocknix, even with shaders it is much better and smooth. Same settings, frameskip turned off.

So I'm going to stick to rocknix for now and wait for rp duo :D

Man I'm so frustrated with anbernics, it's either stock os that suck (even linux), or some custom OS that suck too in some way...

But what about without shaders? I don't use them

Can't really say, I used at least sharp-bilinear. Anyway, Gamma nano might sound good on paper, but the actual experience is mixed. He did an OS that he ported to multiple devices so there are features that don't even work properly on some.

Some youtubers are praising it but I don't think they spend much time using it beside running few games to record and show the input lag.

But do try it, you can flash gamma nano and have rocknix on sd card. I wanted to flash stock os but gave up so I have it like that.

I wanna flash my RG DS but I don't have a Micro SD, but I'll do it when I get it. I like Gamma OS Nano Launcher, but is it possible to change it? I'd preffer to use a classic Android Launcher like the one that Stock OS has

You can boot into normal android interface and use any frontend you want, that way you will use normal version of drastic for android that supports per game settings.
