Here’s what you’ll pay for ANBERNIC’s latest handheld console when sales open this Friday

TL;DR ANBERNIC reveals RG 476H pricing ahead of sales, and it’s good — but could be better. Formally set at $165, you’ll pay just $150 with an instant $15 discount. The manufacturer also confirms specs, which are almost perfectly in line with those of the RG Slide. Smartphones may be our bread and butter, but we are absolute suckers around here for a nice handheld gaming console — so we were understandably very excited earlier this month when we got word about the ANBERNIC RG 476H on the way.

Oldest recorded transaction The other day I posted a tweet with this image which I thought was funny: This is the oldest transaction database from 3100 BC - recording accounts of malt and barley groats. Considering this thing survived 5000 years (holy shit!) with zero downtime and has stronger durability guarantees than most databases today. I call it rock solid durability. This got me thinking, can I insert this date in today’s database? What is the oldest timestamp a database can support?

ANBERNIC just put its best screen on a more budget-friendly device

TL;DR The ANBERNIC RG 476H is a new glass-front handheld. The name implies it will have a 4.7-inch screen and Unisoc T820 SoC. Pricing and availability will be announced at a later date. The string of new Android gaming handheld announcements continues, this time with ANBERNIC getting in on the action. Its latest handheld is called the RG 476H, and it might be the best possible combination of the company’s past few handhelds. With an all-glass front, the RG 476H is one of the most modern-loo

D4d4

A co-worker of mine was looking at some disassembled ARM code the other day, and discovered something weird. Lots of d4d4 instructions, scattered about. LLVM’s objdump says this is a relative branch to -0x58 . The weird part is that they were always unreachable. Experiments¶ Here’s an example in a minimal reproducer I wrote: 00020100 < one >: 20100: 4770 bx lr 20102: d4d4 bmi 0x200ae <__dso_handle+0x100ae> @ imm = #-0x58 That bx lr right before the d4d4 branches to the link register.

This 4:3 device made me rethink what I actually want from a gaming handheld

ANBERNIC RG 477M The RG 477M has the perfect screen with the enough power to take any retro game to the next level. It's pricey, but it's worth it to make classic games really shine. When I first got into modern emulation handhelds, I always went for horizontal models with a widescreen aspect ratio. Maybe it was just what I came to expect after being conditioned by the PSP and Nintendo Switch, but the squat screens found on most ANBERNIC devices just didn’t appeal to me. That was, until I revi

You can preorder Hitman: Absolution now on the App Store

If you’re a Hitman fan, you probably already knew that Agent 47 is set to return in Hitman: Absolution, coming later this year. Now, Feral Interactive has confirmed the release date and opened preorders on the App Store. In a YouTube video published yesterday, Feral Interactive set expectations even higher, promising “the full AAA experience on the go” for the much-anticipated return of the Hitman franchise, following the release of Hitman: Blood Money – Reprisal: The video description reads:

This might be the next must-buy Android gaming handheld, and it’s not a Retroid

TL;DR The ANBERNIC RG 477M is an upcoming handheld with a compact form-factor. If naming conventions hold true, it has a 4.7-inch panel and a Dimensity 8300 chipset. No release dates or pricing have been announced yet. One of the main reasons to buy an Android gaming handheld over a Linux-based one is increased power for PS2 emulation and above. Until recently, only Retroid and a few others offered devices powerful enough for reliable PS2 emulation, but the latest device announced by ANBERNIC
