Retro Handhelds Weekly: Anbernic Just Turned Up the Heat on Retroid, SteamOS in an App, and Much More
https://retrohandhelds.gg/retro-handhelds-weekly-edition-120/
Grab your coffee and settle in, because the retro handheld world is moving faster than a speedrunner on caffeine. It’s been a massive week for hardware enthusiasts, and the competition is officially heating up.
The biggest headline? Anbernic is coming for the dual-screen crown. They’ve announced the RG DDS, a powerhouse clamshell designed to rival the Retroid Pocket Duo. If you’ve been craving that classic DS form factor but with modern, heavy-hitting specs, this might just be your new obsession. Meanwhile, MagicX is making waves with the Mini Dream, offering a high-performance version for a surprisingly reasonable $179.
But the real “wait, what?” moment comes from the software side. A new app called DroidDeck is doing the unthinkable: bringing the SteamOS experience to Android handhelds via a simple install. It’s a huge step toward blurring the lines between mobile emulation and desktop-class gaming.
Quick hits from the week:
- ModRetro is dropping transparent versions of the Chromatic.
- Itch.io is bringing its “Donk” app to ARM Linux handhelds.
- GameStop is hiking PS5 Pro prices (ouch).
