Retro Handhelds Weekly: RG DS Plus, Wave Launcher, and Another Huge Week for Emulation
https://retrohandhelds.gg/retro-handhelds-weekly-edition-115/
If you thought the handheld market was cooling off, think again. This week’s news proves the retro gaming community is actually just getting warmed up.
The headline act is undoubtedly Anbernic’s official reveal of the RG DS Plus. It’s a Nintendo DS/DSi-style clone that promises larger screens and a built-in stylus, all while keeping the price tag under $100. If you’re a fan of dual-screen classics, your wallet might be in trouble.
But the hardware fun doesn’t stop there. FunnyPlaying is cooking up a “Retro Pixel MiniGB”—a tiny, Game Boy-inspired device that can actually play real cartridges. It’s basically a pocket-sized nostalgia trip.
On the software side, there’s plenty to keep your devices looking sharp:
- Wave Launcher V1.0 has officially dropped, offering a stylish, XMB-focused frontend for those who care about aesthetics.
- Socket Frontend is now free for everyone, a huge win for Android users.
- Ocarina of Time 3D just got a massive 4K texture pack and single-screen support mod.
Whether you’re hunting for new gear or just polishing your current setup, it’s a massive week for emulation fans.
