Unfortunately it wasn’t that bad until the steam deck literally came in and broke everything 😂 Like, these handhelds have better specs, but I’m starting to think that things like higher storage and higher screen resolution are just there to justify the high price, not necessarily to provide higher value

Should be noted that one of the prime systems for use on this is the Wii U. Many reviewers have said that they have had better experiences playing Wii U games on the AYANEO Flip DS where they can see both screens at once than they did playing those games on an actual Wii U, where they would have to look back and forth between the game pad and their TV. Still a fairly niche use case for such an expensive system, but if you really love your 3DS and Wii U games, it could be worth it.

@@xcruell It'd just look bad playing lower res games on a higher res display. Performance is also not an issue on 3DS. It doesn't even cross your mind, tbh. I've never seen any performance issues on 3DS outside of Luigi's Mansion 2, which just had an uncapped frame rate for some reason and wasn't rly a performance issue. Also 30fps is why 5h+ is the lowest/minimum average playtime you'll get out of that thing from full charge. I doubt this "Flip" will get half that, which is where all PC handhelds, apart from Steam Deck/OLED, are rendered obsolete by default

[@xcruell]

@@cqllel5186 No, I meant because you can upscale it. I play Wii games on my 4k OLED TV which looks crazy good, when upscaled 8x + AA + Vulkan ' stuff.

Your screen brightness measurements are always higher than the manufacturer claims. Would be interesting to know where that difference comes from, since I know like nothing about the process right now.

[@JeffreyOller]

I wonder if it's just a QC/Marketing thing. Reputable companies will go out of their way to make sure the brightness values are met in 99% of cases (or whatever quality allowance they have). The easiest way to do that is make them much brighter and then if there are quality problems, they have a lot of headspace.

[@NaudVanDalen]

@@JeffreyOller Why though? If we could sue them for false information, we could sue 99% of monitor companies for claiming 1000:1 contrast when their monitor has way worse contrast. Mine is only 380:1. I saw a monitor in a test with 100:1 contrast. It should be a crime to advertise that as 1000:1 contrast (which isn't even good to begin with).

10:51 as someone who streamed Pokemon platinum from this exact emulator, you CAN split the screens in two windows. it helped me

[@RusticRonnie]

MelonDS does not natively support split windows. OnTopReplica is a common and easy add on… but you have to do it separately out side of the app itself. You can fake it by doing this, but it will still have display issues on a device like this, and won’t open back to the same display Screen Gap: 90px, Screen Layout: Horizontal, Screen Sizing: Even Fullscreen the emulator (by setting a hotkey for exclusive fullscreen) and you get one DS screen centered on each of your panels

And you can emulate anything up to PS1 on a modded "New 3DS", along with having native support for 3DS, DS, and GBA.

[@CreativityNull]

There's a version of this where instead of a second screen they put in a keyboard, which I feel is more practical. Linus, the reason for the second TOUCHSCREEN for this with DS/3DS emulation is so you can use the touch controls as intended for games that utilized them. Mario Kart DS didn't really use the touch screen that much other than the main menu, which you could navigate with the physical buttons anyways. With the price though, unless you also just wanted a clamshell windows device for gaming while really liking DS/3DS emulation, this isn't really for anyone. ROG Ally is better if you want the power and Windows, otherwise Steam Deck just checks all of the boxes for great hardware, audio, repairability, etc... That being said, I would love to see a cheaper android handheld capable of this, but the software modifications for android for dual screen support just aren't there for smaller companies like Ayn, Anbernic, or Powkiddy to invest in it for, and they don't have the money to put in that kind of development. Most of the time you're loading a custom OS on those things anyways.

[@GrimnirLaguz28]

At this point, if I wanted a handheld and not a steamdeck for whatever reason, I would probably spend so much time thinking about which one to get, that there would be another 17 new devices on the market, and the cycle would continue endlessly.

I have a DS and 3DS, it's just easier to carry my Odin lite and it's less than a third of the price of the Flip DS. I bet it's lighter too. I have a Onexplayer, great sized screen but it's not the most portable and the overheads mean less battery life as well. I just can't really justify upgrading from the Odin lite.

I've wanted proper dual-screen mode in DS emulation for years, thankfully the 3DS devs are much more competent, and it's been available from the get for 3DS emulation, and it works perfectly on the Flip DS, someone who knows what they are doing will add proper DS mode to a DS emulator eventually, it's essential for some of the best DS games, like Retro Game Challenge and Retro Game Challenge 2, Sonic Colours, Zelda Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks and so on. It will be added to MelonDS soon, it's on their road-map, and may now be expedited thanks to the Flip DS, Wii U also works perfectly, which also is home to tons of incredible Virtual Console games, there are also dual-screen arcade games, PC games, being able to use game trainers for your fave PC games on the bottom screen will be amazing, watching some videos while playing games, there are so many dope use cases for this thing, I canny wait to get one, only thing is, it doesn't have an OLED screen :(.
