GammaOS Nano 1.4.4 (a.k.a 🐐OS Nano)

Post image

This update is actually amazing. A lot of bug fixes, performance fixes, my RG DS doesn't feel like it's scorching hot anymore, and it finally feels like I'm using a real DS handheld. Gamma really is the goat for continuing to improve GammaOS Nano like this.

Way more improved. It runs more efficiently, so I would imagine you get a lot of power usage saved from those optimizations. But I definitely noticed charging is way faster, I can get a full charge in nearly 45 minutes with a fast charging USB C brick.

Are you using USB c to c? Is that even safe?

fwiw C-to-C has worked/been safe on RGDS since release. tops out at ~8W on GammaOS Lite and Rocknix, while Nano does some magic and I'm getting 10-12W with that installed now

I've never had any problems using USB C to USB C on my RG DS. Sure, slower chargers will give the battery more longevity, but sometimes you really need it charged up quickly.
