Anbernic has released a new firmware for the RG DS handheld gaming device. The firmware version is RGDS-LINUX-V1.0-260513. It is designed to fully support the device's dual-screen display.

The firmware offers independent brightness control for each screen. It includes three exclusive themes: DS Dark, DS Light, and Classic Style. The Linux operating system runs from a microSD card without flashing the internal storage. Users can switch back to Android by removing the microSD card and rebooting the device. Anbernic recommends using a microSD card of at least 64GB.

The new firmware enables independent brightness control for each screen.

The RG DS handheld is available now globally. Pricing varies by retailer. On Anbernic's standard store, the device costs 94.99 USD (about $94.99). On AliExpress, it is listed at 109.99 USD (about $110) with a discount code. Walmart and Amazon each list it at 129.99 USD (about $130). GoGameGeek sells it for 159.99 USD (about $160) with a code, and MechDIY for 199.99 USD (about $200) with a code.

The new firmware addresses a key limitation of the RG DS by enabling proper dual-screen functionality in Linux. Previously, the device relied on Android for dual-screen use. This update makes the Linux environment more versatile for retro gaming and other applications that benefit from two screens.
