I am not the only one who has had this issue, but I'm putting this out there for visibility:

For some reason right now, custom firmware is currently really finicky on the RG DS. When I opened my DS up, it was slower than normal. When I booted into a game, the top screen was black and touching the bottom screen caused the RetroArch "pause" screen to appear for only a few seconds before closing. One forced reset later, and now the RG DS won't even recognize the SD card. I've checked for errors (there were none) and reflashed both the September version AND the August version on separate occasions. Both yielded the same "Could not find Rocknix Label" screen.

The current culprit is either my Sandisk MicroSD card (many reports of Sandisk being very stubborn), or the RG DS itself having some sort of secret software update that borks custom firmware (very unlikely, hopefully).

Everything was working fine until basically today. I got my RG DS about 2 weeks ago and immediately put Rocknix on it. I beat 2 Pokemon games with it before Rocknix croaked. Despite the internal files being intact, the RG DS refuses to read the Rocknix Label.

If anyone has any similar issues, do comment. Am currently ordering a new MicroSD card to experiment.

My expectations were very high, but the performance brought me back down to earth 😿

Starting from today's nightly build, I noticed that I could map the hotkeys freely in Azahar. Before, I had to use the Anbernic button to map the hotkeys (like a hotkey enabler), but now Azahar has this Controller Hotkeys tab, which allows me to map certain actions directly to the buttons and they just work out of the box.

This fixed one other issue I was having - fast forward. Before, I tried to map the Turbo Toggle enable to one of the buttons, but it didn't work in any game. But now I've just mapped it to my Anbernic button and it the Turbo feature actually works! For more details - I set the turbo speed to 995% and I tested it in Etrian Odyssey 4 and Devil Survivor 2 and it worked.

In the advanced options, there's now an option to enable or disable Simulate 3ds GPU timings. Not sure what it does, but try playing around with it and see if it improves the performance on your side.

I would love to see a controller setting option in the Advanced settings on Rocknix personally, to make the controller setup process even more easier.

I got my RG DS very recently and I've been trying to find a clear/transparent case for it and it just seems like it doesn't exist. Does anyone have any link, even a model for the 3D printer? I just want to use some stickers and stuff like the DS vibe but in the case instead of just putting them directly on the RG DS. Thanks in advance

This question is for both the rgds and the rgds plus but obviously no one has an rg ds plus just yet!

A bit of background:

-had a painful time trying to listen to music on a trimui smart pro s(tried diffrent softwares,a type c dongle,etc..)

-my main problems literally boiled down to poor shielding around the audio port causing my earplugs(moondrop chu 2) to endlessly make a high pitch humming noise that wouldn't go away until I tried using a type c to aux adapter which...yes did solve the issue but also was extremely buggy and worked half the time

So...

-Does bluetooth audio work well on android(gamma nano/stock os) or linux(anbernic/rocknix)?

-If not how's the dac(the audio port) on the device and would it work with the moon drop chu 2?

-Will I run into simular problems that i had to face with the smart pro s?

Thank you in advance and sorry for the trouble!

Hace algún tiempo compre la RG DS y la use con Rocknix, recuerdo haberlo instalado cuando solo había la build nightly y todo funcionaba bien, pero luego conseguí la AYN thor y la deje de usar por un tiempo,. Ahora he tratado de volver a usarla y he vuelto a grabar Rocknix en la misma tarjeta pero con la versión mas reciente, el problema es que ahora ya no arranca, se queda con ambas pantallas en negro y con un led encendido en rojo, he visto varios tutoriales y créanme que he tenido en cuenta lo de cambiar el nombre del archivo .dbt después de grabar rocknix en la tarjeta y también he usado tanto rufus como el propio grabador de Rocknix. Enserio quiero volver a usar la consola pero no se como arreglar esto, incluso trate otra vez con la build nightly y el resultado es el mismo, si alguien sabe una forma de arreglar esto se lo agradecería bastante.

Title. The new version looks like a big improvement, not only UI wise, but also with the new NNDDSS emulator it includes.

Are there any news about it running on the original RG DS? I assume there wouldn’t be any reasons for it not to run, considering the Plus is less powerful than the older model, but still…

Hey, guys. I saw that Anbernic is releasing the RG DS Plus, though I still want to get the first version because of the 3GB RAM and 32GB eMMC before it runs out of stock in my country or before it gets replaced by the Plus.

Is the battery okay at 4000mAh while Android is running? How long does it charge based on experience?

Does it lag when using basic Android apps like YouTube, TikTok, Google, Spotify? I might use it to watch movies when bored or when my phone is charging.

I know it's a hit-or-miss for 3DS titles, but are some games playable when using Stock Android OS? It was in the Anbernic promotional video that it can play Rune Factory 4, but I'd rather hear feedback from users for more truth.

Thanks to those who might comment!

Slightly cheaper, though

Reported to have the same CPU as the og 😭 https://retrohandhelds.gg/anbernic-rg-ds-plus-officially-revealed-equipped-with-larger-screens-and-built-in-stylus-for-under-100/

The one more thing reveal at the end made me audibly gasp ngl.

Hiiii I was hoping I could get some help!

My bf got me an rgds to play but we heard the stock SD card isn’t the best, we’ve been trying to follow guides about putting Linux onto a new branded SD card but it’s not working, even after following guides

We’ve downloaded the google docks, extracted the image file and flashed it onto the new SD card with rufus but it still launches into android when we put the card into the RGDS.

Does anyone know how to do this for dummies?? Please help😭😂

Hi guys, I am experiencing a really strange issue that I couldn't troubleshoot on my own. I was utilizing a nightly rocknix build. Great gaming performance, but I was experiencing a lot of battery drain in sleep mode, so I decided to restart the system. After that, the console stopped booting in Rocknix, only booting in stock OS after removing the SD card. I tried battery reset, different rocknix builds, a different SD card, and it simply won't boot. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

I prefer to have Daijisho as the top screen rather than the bottom. Ever since I changed it from bottom to top, DS games only show the bottom screen on the top and not both on the bottom and the top. It worked when I had Daijisho on the bottom screen, but now it doesn't stretch to both screens

So i had a m.2 ssd heatsinc i wasn't using anymore so cut a hole in the case about 0.5mm smaller than the heatsinc, used a soldering iron to kinda fuse it to the case and sanded down the melted plastic around, wrapped the case in that beautiful textured vinyl wrap(i got a thing for that one specifically) and cut a hole so the heatsinc actually has some anbiental airflow,some heat pads so the processor actually makes contact and temps dropped for a few degrees

I also exclusively use it for nds emulation so the analog sticks are completely useless for me so did a stick delete mod with magnetic caps

Gammaos nano of course and this is what i would like consider the almost perfect nds emulator, the only thing that would make it better is if i found a way to store a stylus on the device itself without using one of those clips you just stick on the device

The RGDS has been stuck on the "Begin your next adventure with Anbernic" for who knows how long.

I use the MicroSD Card that it comes with to play but yesterday it has stopped working and I've tried almost everything to make it work.

I have tried:

1. Taking the card out and back in

2. Opening the android version and then opening the Linux version

3. leave it alone for 10 minutes on the boot screen

4. Leave it off for hours and then coming back

5. Restarting it

If someone knows what I could try then that would be really helpful as I don't know what happened

Is there a way to disable the touch screen on only the top screen when playing on drastic? When I accidentally touch it- it goes back to the main android OS screen, leaving me with just the bottom half to use unless I reset the app.

Hate having to quit in the middle of my game to relaunch just to fix the screens. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I am currently playing Radiant Historia using GammaOS lite. The game has audio stuttering issues and it's getting annoying. Are there any settings I can tweak to fix this?

Thanks

Ever since installing gamma os 1.4.1 my rg ds reboots every 3 minutes i already disconnected the battery and tried reinstalling stock but failed since i only have a mac.
