Anbernic’s RG Vita Pro Is Looking Real Good — and It’s Running Linux + GammaOS Android
Anbernic just dropped its first dedicated teaser video for the RG Vita Pro, and wow — it’s packed with promise. Clocking in at just over six minutes, the footage shows the handheld crushing it on both Linux and Android (via GammaOS), with smooth gameplay from God of War II, Devil May Cry, Chains of Olympus, and even Muramasa: The Demon Blade on Wii emulation.
That last one? Surprising. It hints at serious muscle under the hood — likely the Rockchip RK3578, a chip we’ve seen in high-end phones but never in a retro handheld before. And unlike the original RG Vita (which sometimes stumbled), this thing looks stable across platforms: PSP, PS2, GameCube, N64… you name it.
But here’s the real kicker: dual-OS flexibility. GammaOS continues to impress, and with other distros like KNULLI or ROCKNIX rumored to follow, users could swap systems post-purchase. That’s huge for tinkerers and purists alike.
Still missing? A release date… and the price. Because no matter how cool it is, if it’s $400+, we might all be sighing into our snacks. 🍿
What do you think — worth the wait?
