Retro Dreams MEET Modern Power, A DS For The Modern Age! AYANEO Flip DS Review

[@PrivateSi]

You have very low standards... Someone should bring out a the bottom half as a stand-alone controller, but made as slim as possible. Decent ARM CPU + GPU would be fine for emulation and give much better battery life - ie. a phone or tablet. As the central screen is thin but the joysticks are fat it could have space to attach a separate tiny portless mini-PC module, with the controller providing USB, HDMI ports...

I keep hoping a clam shell, non-windows, dual screen hand held device comes out that is at least as good as my Retroid, but this isn't it. Not to say there's anything wrong with Ayaneo's DS, it just doesn't meet my requirements. Thanks for always showing off all the new tech!

[@Thornskade]

Android doesnt support dual screens

[@seventhblessing.7371]

@@AMidgetWalrus Actually Android supports dual screens, exemplified by flagship devices like the Microsoft Surface Duo & Duo 2, LG V50 ThinQ 5G etc, highlighting the capability of ARM CPUs for dual-screen functionality. Moreover, many smartphones, including Samsung Galaxy models and Redmagic phones, seamlessly integrate with external monitors while maintaining simultaneous use of their own displays.

[@AMidgetWalrus]

@@seventhblessing.7371 I had trouble getting it to work out of the box with a phone and a small HDMI touch screen. It might totally be possible with the right type of display, with a greater understanding of Android, or by making a custom app(Which is how I believe LG handled it). Another hurdle would be getting the emulators to play nice with the dual screens. I have a V60, and I tried Citra, and after using a few hacks / tricks I was able to get it to work quite well, but it wasn't perfect out of the box. I'd imagine Drastic would take similar work. Not saying it's impossible, far from it. But it isn't as easy as just slapping a second screen on and calling it a day.

[@jakeparkinson8929]

Honestly, if they made an arm version with the 845 that could dual boot windows and android like the ayn odin: it might have been hype. Most android devices can run windows applications because of recent strides with box_86. I believe it was winulator that packages termux_x11, box_86 and proton together like a spiritual successor to exagear desktops. Besides, setting up zink in termux under a prooted distro isn't too hard to setup manually. I think a dimensity 900 would be a solid option of older and indie windows game packaged up from a gog installed executable.

Hey guys not to shoot myself in the foot on the used market, but consider the Samsung flip/fold devices. These guys have more than enough power and screen space to do DS emulation. Also, you can turn non clamshell tablets and phones in portrait into ds emulators with more than enough screen space given you use external controllers.

@@rorychivers8769 its never meant to be a better 3DS, its more as a PC handheld with clamshell design since it has too many features that normal 3DS doesnt offer. Being chunky and less battery life makes sense when its like 300x faster than 3DS in terms of performance i actually expect it to be more chunky when Ayaneo Flip DS is faster than Steam Deck but Steam Deck has like twice the size of Ayaneo (for references Ayaneo can run Spiderman 2018 at 60 FPS while running KZbin on second screen)

[@rorychivers8769]

@@jehezz But is the lower screen more or less the same size as the upper screen? That's really the one thing they could have made more of an effort to not get wrong, considering Nintendo perfected the format in the 1980's, AYANEO really shouldn't be congratulated for ruining a straightforward format that was already perfect from the very beginning What they have created is something that is reminiscent of an IBM Thinkpad circa 199X, but the touchpad has somehow turned into a display of sorts. Never mind the fact that pointing devices only existed to begin with, because the technology of the time did not allow for you to simply use your god given digits to point directly at the screen. Happy Easter by the way, hope you got some nice Easter Eggs.

[@dagger341]

As a gaming platform, this definitely looks exciting! I am curious what you think with regards to it being a PC. What I mean to say isn't first impression was that as a handheld PC, it would be more portable and easier to carry than a laptop, but would you be able to do any work with it? I know some people in the tech sphere use "cyber decks", to do various tasks, and I was wondering if the Flip would fall into that type of device. How easy, or practical, is this device to use as a daily driver, and workhorse with gaming as a bonus? I really love the clamshell design. I am just trying to assuage some doubts that this is more of a toy. That would, in my mind, completely invalidate the whole point of it being a Windows OS device.

Tekken 8 runs like that due to shader compilation or stuttering of some sorts becaus it does the exact smae flancuations on RTX 4070. Something is wrong with the games 60fps lock apparently. A limiter outside of the game will omprove this and locking to 59fps make this perfectly frame paced.

I sort of feel like it'd be a better investment to get a Z Fold and a Gamesir X2 Type C (NON PRO!!!) Why non-pro? Because the non-pro has the USB-C on the left side of the Gamesir. This is much more appealing as this location has the Z Fold open upward instead of hanging down as you'd get with an X2 Pro or any other device that has the phone plug into the right side of the pad. That'd be my route as a consumer. I'd still get a clamshell form factor with that "sleek" DS/3DS feel. The other luxuries of having FAQs or KZbin on the bottom or top don't justify the high cost and seems too niche of an aspect to set aside the FLIP from competitors. Super cool device and concept, though!

[@MattKimura]

I too am on the same train as you away from Nintendo. Owning a steam deck and gaming PC. It's literally the best gaming setup. I also feel like I need a smaller companion device for lower end emulation, which is why I have my eye on smaller devices like the Retroid Pocket 4 or Miyoo Mini Plus. But to be honest, as much as I love emulation, I now own so many games on steam that I'm too occupied with them now and don't have the time to emulate games that I already played before. So buying another device would end up sitting there unused. The steam deck does handle lower end emulation amazingly and looks great, but it is a bit too big just to run GBC or SNES, etc. In my setup, I have my PC for high end games, and my steam deck for low to mid games which is a vast majority of my library. I get amazing battery life on the steam deck OLED with these games. Despite what I said, I do have emulation of all sorts setup on my steam deck and also on my PC.

Now how well does it handle Darktide at 800p on a mix of high and medium?

[@Usaji_]

how is there no way around the sunken buttons? nintendo been doing that flip style for decades and never had this issue, i think it was more of a design decision than a "problem"

[@thomasgarzelloni3807]

I would love one but the price is ridiculous...

[@ADreamingTraveler]

Not just the price but the battery life is atrocious. Another channel they could only get 2 hours of battery life playing Celeste. That's abysmal especially for the price.

Don’t like the misleading thumbnail… You can’t play BOTH or TOTK with two screens on this device

[@Sora-vj8nc]

Are the joysticks clickable?

I pre-ordered the AYANEO DS 8840U 64GB+2TB version.. But I need more space. I’m not sure if I should get the ONEXPLAYER X1. I really need the memory size to be bigger in the AYANEO.

You can buy a 1-1.5 TB SD card.

[@coreystill7197]

@@ThePhilosogamer I already owned a couple I picked them up off Amazon. But it’s still not enough memory. I’m always on the go and I’m rarely at home so I need games when I need games.

I'm curious about the keyboard version

[@Tkscz]

How low can the wattage be when emulating 3DS games? If 15 watts means I only get an hour and ten minutes, it doesn't really feel worth it to me.

[@pixelbat]

Are you ever going to do reviews of products that are out now and available, not indiegogos or preorders? lol

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

No.

I can't understand those want a powerfull handheld with a good battery life, that has never been a thing not i the past and I'll bluntly say it even for the future, like I'm gonna talk about myself a little if I ever own a strong handheld such as this one or any other in the field I'll be happy cause even with the low amount of energy that I have I can still play as much as I want, how? well easy just get a portable high capacity powerbank and it's done
