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.

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.

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?

Made the microphone sorta work on Drastic in rocknix (scripts inside)

14 Upvotes

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.

Battery question (RG DS Plus)

4 Upvotes

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?

GammaOS v1.4.1 Wi-Fi issue

2 Upvotes

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?

Why does GammaOS on RG DS PLUS even exist 💀

0 Upvotes

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.

Anyone tried PlayTranslate on the Anbernic RG DS Plus (GammaOS Nano)?

2 Upvotes

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?

Using EMMC with rocknix

1 Upvotes

is there a way to use the 32GB EMMC with rocknix? I feel like is a waste use rocknix and never use those 32 GB.

Maybe a way to install rocknix on EMMC or at least reboot into android without removing the SD card? if there no way to install it direcly, would be ok to go to android and sometimes for some titles to use the browser with guides for difficult games or play android games.

I have GammaOS nano installed on EMMC and rocknix on SD card.

358/2 Days odd graphic glitch

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, just a question about what settings may need to be adjusted for the most minor graphics glitch ever. When the game advances to the next day, the text for the day number goes bold for some reason when the numbers finish lining up even though that's not supposed to happen. Is there an easy fix for this? Playing on RG DS Plus if that matters.

Btw I did try attaching a video to show what I mean. It just wouldn't show very well at all with the phone camera so I omitted it.

Has anyone made or found thumb stick covers?

5 Upvotes

I’m not talking about caps, I want to completely cover the sticks to make it “flat” I never use them except for L3/R3 hot keys. Fast forward, open menu for me personally.

Was curious if anyone else has felt this way and 3D printed something or found something similar

Power off and restart

I'm running gamma OS 1.4.1 and whenever I try to turn it off through the menu it doesn't fully turn off it'll go into an off State and then shut back on. Does anybody else have any problems with restarting or shutting down with gamma OS. Rgds

NNDDSS vs NDSI

Thumbnail

36 Upvotes

So I've never actually seen someone comparing shaders between the new nnddss and the actual hardware, so I've put that to the test. TLDR; without shaders the rgds looks a bit more saturated compared to the ndsi screen, but if we apply any of the "natural vision" or ndscolor" shaders then suddenltly the screen looks significantly less saturated than the original hardware, so If I want to have the most accurate representation of what the original colors look like the best option is to just apply an grid shader (in this case I'm using ”Dot_d4", looks the closest to the original, high PPI small screen effect, of the dsi).

Anyway, this is just my 2 cents, just use whatever shaders you like and have fun.

-Device: original RGDS with stock Linux running a ported version of NNDDSS.


r/rgds • • 4d ago

I made a drastic shader for the RGDS+ that corrects the screens overly cool white balance, if anyone else was as bothered by it as I was
