- Comment on Retroid Pocket 6 12GB: Four More Gigabytes, A Lot More Ambition 1 week ago:
Oh hi!
I have not tried Armada-OS yet, but I have plans to do so in the future for an article. GameNative is enough for me. The latest update has made it dead-dead simple to just go to the settings cog after installation and select ‘use known config’ and it’ll pre-set it to work with your device (which was a saving grace testing games for this article!)
There’s definitely a ceiling on what you can play, but I’d recommend the RP6 so-so much. Out of all the handhelds I have (which is way, way too many because of reviewing and buying), I use the RP6 the most for the 16:9 games. It makes a beautiful device for widescreen PS2 upscaled to a crazy level, or PSP, or Switch, and of course PC games.
EmuReady is a good site to check if you want to see users’ tests. It is by no means exhaustive since it is just what users have uploaded to the site, but you can get a nice snapshot on what is possible with this link. I’ve selected just the Retroid Pocket 6 and Windows games for these results:
Here’s the link to check them out!
You can also try a YouTube search for PC gaming. Or do feel free to ask me anything. You can run Armada-OS on a micro SD card now, so you won’t need to reflash anything either. But again for me? GameNative is more than enough!

- Comment on Leaf Developers Geekstrada and Helaas: The Full Interview 2 weeks ago:
Thank you!
That is such a nice comment to read :) I don’t have one of Miniloong’s either, but this duo’s infectious enthusiasm really has me considering it.
Really glad you enjoyed reading along, you’re who these articles and interviews are for :)
- Comment on Leaf Developers Geekstrada and Helaas: The Full Interview 2 weeks ago:
That’s Geekstrada’s dog, Atticus! Who is a good boy :)
And totally understandable, this is niche-within-niche. Leaf is a custom firmware option for a cheaper retro handheld, which lets you emulate old games on the go from ROMs.
Leaf just gives a nicer customized interface and method for playing those games, with more features than the stock O.S.! I wasn’t expecting too many here to be screaming to read through this, but if any are into retro handhelds, or development at all, it sure has some gold in there. They’re also two lovely people!

- Comment on The AYN Thor Lite Has Become Something Much Bigger Than AYN Built 3 weeks ago:
If you followed the link above, that is for the Thor Pro, which runs them really quite well.
Plenty of YouTube demonstrations if youre curious. It has a strong chip, so it handles them well. Not quite Odin 3 levels (SD Elite), but, really well. PC emulation is a big thing for these handhelds.
- Comment on The AYN Thor Lite Has Become Something Much Bigger Than AYN Built 3 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure the official TPU case does a lot of the work to keep it even when it closes:
www.ayntec.com/products/thor-tpu-shell
Back when I reviewed the Pro before release, that was a main point of concern for people (well, not so much the force of it as you write, more how it all hinges on one center point to diffuse the force!)
This case is raised on the edges, so when you close it, the edges of the screen rest on it, rather than having the sides of the top screen not in contact with the base of the handheld
I hope this makes sense with how I am describing it

I am so excited to share my interview with her!!! She’s the best :)
- Comment on The AYN Thor Lite Has Become Something Much Bigger Than AYN Built 3 weeks ago:
If you don’t have the Pro, then use the drop-down box to filter it to your Thor model :)
- Comment on The AYN Thor Lite Has Become Something Much Bigger Than AYN Built 3 weeks ago:
Thank you!!!
I know this is a huge read, but I hope there’s some interesting things in there for you :)

- Comment on Hands On with the Anbernic RG SP; The Game Boy Advance SP Reimagined 5 weeks ago:
Are you running stock, or NextUI? I’ve certainly not had that kind of battery loss!
- Comment on Hands On with the Anbernic RG SP; The Game Boy Advance SP Reimagined 5 weeks ago:
Here’s my own review of the Rotate, just for some context:
gardinerbryant.com/hands-on-with-the-anbernic-rg-…
But yes, the RG Rotate is far more powerful. It’ll run your PSX games upscaled. This one has 3GB RAM, which is a far cry from the RGSP’s 1GB, so you’ll have the benefits of:
- Upscaling the PlayStation (or N64, or DC) games without an issue
- Having enough overhead to run whatever shaders you like. I only tried a few, because shaders are just not my thing. But they’ll absolutely be happier on the Rotate
- Enough power in the to run some fun Android games. I know, you’re looking for specifically retro, but it is nice to have options.
- It is also beautifully unique. I love the rotating screen. I just had another delivered actually. Anbernic sent me the metal one to review back on release, but I just got the plastic version for a follow-up article I’m working on right now! My most recommended apps, programs and some physical accessories.
If GBA is your dream, you just can’t beat the RGSP. If you want DC/N64/PSX without compromises? Then the Rotate is your answer. I do just love them both though, just for different reasons.
- Comment on Hands On with the Anbernic RG SP; The Game Boy Advance SP Reimagined 5 weeks ago:
I’ve had so many SP’s, but I think while I adore the form factor so much, the modern conveniences of things like save states, fast-forwarding, the display and all the other bits make this the logical choice…for me.
Physical it feels exactly the same in my hands, a perfect little boxy box :)
But seems like the tape mod is supposed to work pretty well?
I wouldn’t even call these the most clicky-clicky. They are a bit, but they’re really fine. Two layers will dampen that totally though, and you’ll have zero issues at all. I really can’t recommend this one enough, if you’re after GBA games as good as they can be!
- Comment on Hands On with the Anbernic RG SP; The Game Boy Advance SP Reimagined 5 weeks ago:
This one solves that! Close the lid and it will suspend right there until you open it :)
And being Linux means that the battery life will be much better with that closed-lid suspension over what Android would manage!!!

- Comment on Is Denuvo's Dominance Finally Beginning to Crack? A New Linux-Based Breakthrough Suggests It Might Be 1 month ago:
Good point, I should have been a little clearer with my wording. The hypervisor technique itself isn’t a Linux invention, and you’re right that the underlying method originated from Windows research.
The Linux angle is more about how the community has been applying it: using Proton/Wine compatibility layers to run Windows games on Linux in a way that interacts differently with Denuvo’s checks. That distinction is what made it interesting from a totally Linux gaming perspective, especially given how unusual it is for Linux compatibility layers to become part of the discussion around a major DRM breakthrough.
I’ll update the article wording because “Linux-based breakthrough” makes it sound like Linux created the exploit itself, which isn’t what I intended!
Dodi was lovely. At the time he was literally getting married (the day before, of or after…I forget exactly which!), in Egypt which is his home. FitGirl is far funnier than I expected, we used to check in every now and then, but that has long-since ended. She’s also got an iron-clad no press rule nowdays. Empress was brilliant, I’ll fight tooth and nail on that, in the early days she was brilliant. But…that ‘front’ wasn’t put up, she was and is quite ‘unique’ in her views.
There was a few others too, I found it really interesting to reach out to these names, they were all just quite surprised because few ever did!

Hey there.
No, it is not easily removed within days. I’m more impressed than most by Voices, but he has cracked four games released in 2026 so far.
Is this just an ad?
It is news. Did you know this before my post? If not, we call this ‘learning something from news’
- Comment on Is Denuvo's Dominance Finally Beginning to Crack? A New Linux-Based Breakthrough Suggests It Might Be 1 month ago:
Hi there!
I’m the author. Not only have I chatted to Voices, but I did an AMA with Dodi, organized the same with FitGirl (which didn’t actually happen), and even chatted to Empress. Which…wasn’t very fun. I’ve interviewed KaOs and also the gentleman behind Ghost eShop for jailbroken Switches. This is just to say I know the scene, and I know the people.
Denuvo has been almost universally cracked since the start of this year, author sounds pretty out of date to be talking as if this is a recent development.
Seems there was about 20 games released this year with Denuvo. Voices has changed the scene a lot, but he can only do so much. Now he’s using A.I. to help with his process this is speeding up a ton, but he cannot possibly keep up with ‘demand’ as it were. I found four he’s done, for 2026 releases:
- Resident Evil Requiem (February 2026)
- PRAGMATA (April 2026)
- LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight (May 2026)
- 007 First Light (May 2026)
It certainly hasn’t been “universally cracked”. It will get quicker, but it is still an effort. One game every two weeks or so at the moment.
universally cracked
This is not only a stretch, it isn’t true. The fun thing is that he has cracked 2026’s build, and then their updated build, then a day one release. From a technical POV, it is super interesting to see.
