### Hardware, Hacks, and $10 Flash Carts
If you thought the retro handheld scene was slowing down, think again. This week has been a whirlwind of leaks, DIY wizardry, and some much-needed software fixes that might actually make your devices behave.
The hardware rumors are flying, specifically regarding a potential budget-friendly Android handheld from AYANEO called the “Pocket Block.” Meanwhile, Valve is reportedly working on new hardware under the “Steam Machine” and “Steam Frame” codenames—hopefully with a smoother rollout than the Steam Controller era. If you’re feeling particularly chaotic, a new DIY adapter called the Motecast now lets you use a Nintendo Wii Remote to play Dreamcast games via Bluetooth. It’s niche, it’s weird, and we love it.
On the software front, there is some great news for Anbernic RG DS owners: a brand-new Linux firmware is arriving to fix those pesky Android quirks. Plus, huge updates are hitting KNULLI (hello, Scarab!) and Batocera 43, bringing better compatibility for devices like the Retroid Pocket 6.
