About the project

A custom firmware and frontend for Anbernic handhelds focused on Game Boy, GBC and GBA emulation. Replaces the stock interface with a minimal one evoking the original GBA SP.

Useful for
  • Install slot on an Anbernic RG SP to replace the stock frontend for GB/GBC/GBA ROMs
  • Set screen rotation on RG28XX via the SLOT_ROTATE variable in launch_frontend.sh
  • Test slot on a new Anbernic model and report the result in a GitHub issue

3.2 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 10, 2026, 12:23 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

01530August 9, 2026October 10, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-10 (UTC), 11:30–12:15: 91 → 95 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +12 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 1 per day.
  • Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
  • GitHub Trending Rust today: #5, +19 stars.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 60. +2900% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
