ANBERNIC has announced the RG DDS, a flagship retro gaming handheld that adopts a clamshell dual-screen design reminiscent of the Nintendo 3DS, updated with modern internals. Pricing and release date for the device have not yet been disclosed.
Developer Mr. Rubik is preparing an update for the Nintendo DS-themed Nitrodeck Launcher that lets it run across two screens on Android handhelds like the Anbernic RG DS. A demo video shows the launcher working smoothly, including a recreation of the DS startup screen, with the update expected on the Play Store within a week or two.
Retroid has introduced the Pocket Duo Lite Plus, a new dual-screen handheld positioned between the standard Pocket Duo and the cheaper Pocket Duo Lite. It pairs the Lite's 60Hz LCD screens and digital triggers with the standard Pocket Duo's Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset and 8GB/128GB memory configuration. The device launches at $219 but is discounted to $199 through a promo code available until the end of October.
ANBERNIC revealed its RG DS Plus handheld in a YouTube video, showing dual 4.3-inch screens, a free-stop hinge, and a capacitive stylus that stores in an integrated slot like the original Nintendo DS. The device runs Linux rather than Android and will ship with a new custom DS emulator called NNDDSS, which supports screen swapping, touch input, save states, microphone use, and over 70 shader options.
