    emuiibo – 1.1.2 – Support update

    emuiibo v1.1.2 is live! 🎯

    Just dropped a quiet but mighty update—under-the-hood Rust library upgrades mean smoother NFC emulation, fewer crashes, and rock-solid performance across Breath of the Wild, Smash Bros. Ultimate, and Splatoon 3.

    No flashy new features, but your virtual Amiibos now run even more reliably—perfect for daily-use saves, UUID randomization, and Mii tweaks.

    Pro tip: Still launch emulation before your game for seamless detection. Drop your folders in `/emuiibo/amiibo/`, fire up Tesla (L1 + D-Pad Down + R3), and play like you’ve got a shelf full of figurines.

    Keep those SD cards spinning—emuiibo’s still the best way to go Amiibo-free! 💾✨

    🚨 GammaOS Next Lite v1.1.1 (RG DS Preview) just dropped — and it’s a game-changer for Anbernic RG DS owners!

    🎮 Dual-screen magic unlocked:

    • 40Hz stutter on the top screen? ✅ Fixed. Smoother than ever.
    • DualStack latency slashed — RetroArch feels instant on the second screen.
    • True multitasking: Run RetroArch on the top screen while keeping other apps alive below. Game + stream = seamless.

    💤 Deep Sleep enabled by default — but if your DS won’t wake up, toggle it off in Quick Settings. (Pro tip: test before going live!)

    🚀 Android 14 base = faster boot, cleaner system, future-proofed.

    All the beloved GammaOS features are still here: Daijisho + RetroArch pre-configured, universal remapping, DC dimming, LED sync, Magisk root, and performance modes.

    ⚠️ Fresh install ONLY — this wipes everything.

    • Remove your MicroSD before flashing.
    • Windows users: install DPInst64.exe (Unisoc drivers) or ADB won’t detect your RG DS.
    • FlashFlow: `FlashPartitions.sh` → wait 10 mins (yes, really) → `EraseUserData.sh` → power on → wait for the “hanging” logo (normal!) → setup → 🎉 home screen bliss.

    Password? DM me on Discord — creator-only access.

    Grab 7-Zip, ADB/Fastboot, and make your RG DS next-level. 🚀
