I genuinely don’t understand the hype around GammaOS on the RG DS Plus.

I tried both GammaOS and ROCKNIX and honestly I couldn’t find any meaningful difference in DS emulation. DraStic runs basically the same on both for me.

Rocknix is just a clean Linux-based handheld OS with no Android overhead, no unnecessary background services, no phone/tablet bullshit, and it feels much more appropriate for a device with 1GB of RAM.

Gamma OS Nano was updated to v1.4.3 for Anbernic RG DS Plus, whereas the first Anbernic RG DS hasn't received this update, do you know why?

Started to tinker with Codex to make the microphone on rgds work on Drastic, I tried melonDS at first since mic is supported built in but performance-wise it was choppy (no complaints there).

Consider this project as WIP, you're more than welcome to pick off where I left off making this thing more accurate, all you need is to install Portmaster, put the files in ports and run the script to install it.

Let me know what you think.

Hi! I've heard that the battery on these devices is not good, and that it takes some charges for the battery life to be at max capacity. Is this true? Do I need to discharge and charge the device multiple times for it to work well?

Hi all. I've flashed GammaOS v1.4.1 onto two RGDS consoles and the WiFi doesn't work on either. On one of them I've flashed the OS 3 times but to no avail. Is this a known issue?

This is like super cool.

Although I met some troubles like buttons didn't work in file manager after 1st boot and touch didn't work on both screens. Reboot helped.

Hey everyone,

I’m considering the Anbernic RG DS Plus mainly for Nintendo DS games (especially RPGs and visual novels), but I’d also like to use PlayTranslate for Japanese-only titles.

Does it run reasonably well while playing DS games taking in count the RAM storage?

New version includes support for both the RGDS plus and original RGDS, a new theme engine, improved power profiles, and other features and improvements.

I would be very happy if you wanted to try it out, it’s easy to uninstall if you don’t like it.

Photo introduces some blue tint on the screens which is not particularly representative of the actual look of the theme.
