Boutique handheld gaming firm Ayaneo has introduced the Ayaneo Flip DS — a 7-inch 120Hz handheld gaming clamshell with a second display that’s clearly impressed by the Nintendo DS, and would possibly let it play video games like one too.
In line with Liliputing’s Brad Linder, who deserves kudos for calling out the corporate’s try and plant a “leak,” each the Flip DS and an identical Flip KB shall be powered by AMD’s Ryzen 7 7840U. That’s the identical chip that’s in virtually each different flagship Home windows gaming handheld in the mean time, together with fairly a couple of from Ayaneo itself.
Whereas that AMD chip seems like overkill for Nintendo DS titles — I’m very interested by battery life — a secondary display to correctly show Nintendo’s top-and-bottom video games is a rarity within the emulation world.
A lot of handhelds (and telephones) can already emulate the DS, however they usually put the highest and backside screens facet by facet or allow you to change between wanting on the prime or backside at any given time.
If you happen to’re within the Ayaneo Flip DS, know that it’s possible going to take a convoluted path to market. Not solely does Ayaneo crowdfund all its merchandise, nevertheless it additionally tends to trickle out particulars as slowly because it probably can forward of their Indiegogo debut. The corporate additionally broadcasts new designs sooner than it will probably ship them — by the point I’ve acquired one of many firm’s merchandise for testing, it’s virtually all the time already moved on to a more moderen, extra fascinating mannequin.
