#emulation gaming

Antec has officially introduced the Core Micro, its latest handheld gaming console. The device is a rebranded version of the AYANEO Pocket Micro, designed for portable gaming and emulation with solid specifications and compact dimensions. The Core Micro supports up to PS2-level game emulation, powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 processor. Microsoft has started rolling out a new “Xbox mode” for Windows 11 PCs, bringing a console-like gaming experience to laptops, desktops, and handheld devices. The Xbox mode for PC gaming establishes an immersive experience through its full-screen interface, which works with controllers while focusing on gaming content without any background interruptions. The system enables players to rapidly find and start games while they can toggle between desktop and gaming modes, and they can use a single library that contains both Xbox Game Pass and their installed PC games. According to Microsoft, the feature provides its greatest benefits to users of gaming laptops and handheld PCs because these devices need instant access to their functions, which should remain easy to use. Microsoft says Xbox mode will continue to evolve based on player feedback as it pushes for a more unified gaming experience across devices.
