Azahar Drops Anbernic Support Over AzaharPlus Fork

Azahar Drops Anbernic Support Over AzaharPlus Fork

Azahar, widely regarded as the main 3DS emulator, has said it will no longer support Anbernic handhelds. The move follows the launch of Anbernic's RG DDS, which reportedly uses a fork called AzaharPlus, prompting Azahar's developers to publicly distance themselves from the company. The dispute centres on Anbernic's use of the fork rather than the official Azahar build. Azahar is a continuation of the Citra 3DS emulator project. via retrohandhelds.gg

Retro Games Ltd Hints at More Amiga Devices After A1200

Retro Games Ltd Hints at More Amiga Devices After A1200

An opinion piece on Time Extension argues that Retro Games Ltd's Amiga lineup may be expanding rather than winding down. The company's forthcoming A1200 is a full-size reproduction of Commodore's machine, arriving pre-loaded with classic games, running Workbench, and supporting extra titles via USB storage, following the earlier A500 Mini micro-console. The piece cites a Retro Gamer magazine interview in which Retro Games Ltd licensing director Darren Melbourne hints that further Amiga devices could be on the horizon, despite the company already having two Amiga clones on the market. Retro Games Ltd is a UK specialist known for recreating classic Commodore and Amiga hardware. via timeextension.com
