Just tested Sonic Lost World 3DS on recently released GammaOS Nano v1.4.4 !!!

Over the past while, we've received a lot of valuable feedback about Pocket Dream — especially around **whether or not to keep the joysticks**, where the community showed two very distinct preferences 🎮

After careful consideration, we've decided to follow those voices and **officially split the Pocket series into two separate models**:

---

**🎮 Pocket Dream** — with dual joysticks

For players who prefer **dual-stick controls** and modern 3D games with more complex input needs

**🕹️ Pocket Retro** — without joysticks

For players who want a **pure retro feel**, focused on 2D games and classic emulation

**Both devices share the same body specs:**

・Size: **107 × 72 × 22 mm**

・Weight: **under 180g each**

So you can pick the one that fits your playstyle.

---

**🕹️ Initial Specs for Pocket Retro**

Pocket Retro will come with a **more focused, streamlined configuration**:

・**SoC:** RK3566

・**Memory:** 2GB LPDDR3 + 16GB storage

・**Display:** 3.3-inch OLED (same as Mini Dream / Pocket Dream)

・**OS:** Linux

・**Wireless:** WiFi 5 + Bluetooth

・**Battery:** 3800 mAh

・**Price:** $80 (shipping not included)

With Pocket Retro branching off, **Pocket Dream's SoC lineup has also been streamlined to 3 variants**: **1 running Linux**, and **2 running Android**.

---

**📅 On Release Timing**

It's still a bit early to talk about release dates. What we can confirm is: **both Pocket Retro and Pocket Dream will launch after Mini Dream is officially released.**

We'll continue to share progress with the community at each key milestone 🙌

---

Once again, thanks to everyone who's shared feedback — the Pocket series is where it is today because of your voices 🙏

Feel free to keep sharing your thoughts in

First and foremost, we'd like to sincerely thank everyone who took the time to share their thoughts after we revealed the first design 🙏

Whether it was about **the aesthetics, button layout, in-hand feel, or feature expectations** — we've read every piece of feedback and discussed them one by one. Your input has given us a much clearer vision of what Pocket Dream can be than we had on our own.

Based on that, we've made a **design update** to Pocket Dream — check out the new renders below 👇

---

Pocket Dream isn't finalized yet. Any feedback that genuinely helps make this device better — whether it's a **refinement, a critique, or a completely different perspective** — we'll take it seriously, and we'll incorporate what we can.

Because we truly believe: **a great handheld is never built behind closed doors.**

Feel free to keep sharing your thoughts in

Thanks to everyone who's helping Pocket Dream grow, one step at a time 🙌

First, a quick update: **Mini Dream has officially entered its second phase**, and we're steadily moving forward step by step. Thanks to everyone who's shared feedback along the way 🙏

While that's underway, we'd like to share **what we're thinking about next**:

Alongside Mini Dream, we're now exploring a **vertical handheld — Pocket Dream** ✨

It shares **the same 3.3-inch custom OLED display and core configuration as Mini Dream**, but comes in a **vertical form factor** — designed to offer a completely different handling experience from the horizontal Mini Dream 🎮

---

**📐 Pocket Dream · Initial Specs**

・Size: **107 × 72 × 22 mm**

・Display: **3.3-inch OLED** (the same custom panel as Mini Dream)

・**Same 4 SoC variants** as Mini Dream (covering both Linux and Android)

---

**🎯 Why Pocket Dream?**

・A vertical grip evokes the **nostalgia of classic handhelds** (Game Boy, WonderSwan, and the like)

・Better for **one-handed play** — ideal for commuting, short sessions, or quick pick-up-and-play moments

・**Complements the horizontal Mini Dream** — covering different playstyles side by side

---

**💬 We'd Love to Hear from You**

We've put together some **initial renders** of Pocket Dream (see below 👇), and before officially moving forward, we'd love to hear your **honest reactions** to the design.

Feel free to share your thoughts in — every piece of feedback genuinely shapes where this project goes 💬

Thanks for being with us on this journey 🙌

Not a launcher, a whole micro-OS that runs from the SD card (stock firmware untouched):

3 themes: DSi, PS3 XMB, Minima

Faster DraStic + RetroAchievements + Quick Resume

Custom & video wallpapers

Improved sleep, power-hold overlay

https://github.com/TheGammaSqueeze/GammaOSNext/releases/tag/v1.4.0-MAGICXMINIZERO28

https://github.com/TheGammaSqueeze/GammaOSNext/releases/tag/v1.4.0-MAGICXXURETROX20V32

Hey everyone,

GammaOS Nano v1.4 is here for the Anbernic RG Rotate. On the Rotate, Nano is the primary UI, a purpose-built micro-OS that boots straight to a console-style home and is deeply integrated with the low-level Android system and the device hardware. And because the full GammaOS Next ships underneath, you are never locked in: you can switch between Nano mode and the full GammaOS Next Android experience whenever you like. 😄

Nano is not a launcher. It is a whole micro-OS built on top of Android. It grabs the panel the moment you power on, renders directly to the display, brings up its own audio before the rest of the system is even awake, and takes full native control of power, sleep, the panel and the slide sensor. There is no heavy Android desktop loading in the background, no bloat, and no waiting. Just power on and play. 🙌...

GammaOS Nano v1.4 rebuilds the device as a micro-OS that boots straight to play, with full GammaOS Next one switch away:

- DSi / PS3 XMB / Minima themes

- Faster DS emulation + RetroAchievements + Quick Resume

- Slide-shut Clock UI

- Linux from SD via a custom SPL, Rocknix (unofficial) on RG Rotate!

- Custom & video wallpapers

Download: https://github.com/TheGammaSqueeze/GammaOSNext/releases/tag/v1.4.0-ANBERNICRGROTATE

GammaOS Nano v1.4 rebuilds the whole device as a micro-OS that boots straight to play:

DSi / PS3 XMB / Minima themes

Faster DS emulation + RetroAchievements + Quick Resume

Dual-screen Control Center

Custom & video wallpapers

Deep hardware integration, no bloat

More info here:

https://github.com/TheGammaSqueeze/GammaOSNext/releases/tag/v1.4.0-ANBERNICRGDS

We're taking an important step forward — **holding ourselves to a higher standard for quality and detail**.

Starting with our next device, we'll focus on:

🔍 Stricter **quality control**

🔧 More reliable **supply chain & components**

🎨 More refined **shell craftsmanship & details**

🛠️ More polished **system tuning & optimization**

---

**🎮 Next Device: MagicX Mini Dream**

**Key Highlights**

・**3.3-inch OLED display** (the custom panel we announced earlier)

・**Full-glass front cover, color-matched to the shell**

・Available in both **Linux** and **Android** versions

**💰 Price Range: $80 – $180 (shipping not included)**

---

**📅 Project Update**

Mini Dream is still in its **early stages**. From supply chain selection to build refinement, every step needs proper time to get right.

We'll share more product details as the project reaches **key milestones** — thanks for your patience 🙌

Thanks for the continued support — we'll take our time and get every detail right 🙏
