@darkhorse29-yx8qh look at the bright side, in 10 years is gonna be cheap af. Kinda like a commodity I don't see disadvantages but it could have been better tho
DS doesn't play 3DS, and the 2nd hand market for 3ds consoles are getting pretty steep. Would be nice to have a $200 handheld in this form factor that can also play other consoles.
I don't even care if it has 2 screens I just want a compact handheld pc that is affordable not one exists. Something the size of a gpd win 4 or win mini but with an Intel n100 for around 300 bucks to play pc indie games on would be perfect for me.
I’m sorry, that price KILLS any intrest I have in this device. Almost a $1,000?? Do you know what you can do with a band? You can: - Buy a NEW 3DS AND a WiiU with cash to spare - A Prebuilt PC - A Steam Deck Oled - A Competitive Portable PC All of which could play DS/3DS/WiiU and possibly so much more without some or any of the hassles.
All of that will still be around 1000 dollars for getting all that separate. Better to just get it all in one go. Even tho either way it's still expensive
@@ItsJustHenriHeck I didn't mean it really as a joke. The build quality might be great but if i buy a device for a premium price then i also expect a premium experience on the software side. Having to download 10 different third party apps and plugins, and then having to set it up for potentially hours is not great. It wouldn't even need its own OS, this could all be included out of the box like the Gyro functionality.
OS have to be heavily maintained and designed to support many things so that can complicate things. I doubt these Chinese companies have the budget for that though.
@@sykia847omg thank you for this!!!!! I just screenshot it to search this because if it does have a reasonable price, you just GIVEN ME THE BEST GIFT EVER that I've been waiting for!!!!♥️
Should not have to double patch emulators to get them running well for that cost. Waiting for the day Anbernic or Retroid do dual screen in an affordable way.
People who want to emulate DS generally dont spend this kind of money on a handheld and people who want a lot of power to play pc games on the go just get a steam deck or ROG ally or something. Kind of seems like a cool product with no real market....
I have the Flip DS, don't get the 16g ram version because you will have a bad time 32g is my recommendation. The fan and temps were fine when I was using it, did you tweak the settings at all... they are set to MAX by default?
I look at this device more as a "first gen" product or testing the waters kinda thing. It's extremely expensive to be sure but I don't think Ayaneo really has the ability to sell for much less and still make enough for it to worthwhile for them. As we start to get cheaper components that can emulate 3DS and Wii U well, I'm sure we'll have more affordable options.
Да но Стим дек слишком широкий и поэтому неудобно держать но у него есть два тач пада . Нужен флип без нижнего экрана но с двумя тач падами чуть больше чем на Стим деке и верхний экран 8-9 дюймов и процессорами типа 7640U и тогда будет низкая цена для стратегий, РПГ и квестов будет очень хорошим. Я не русский по национальности.
I went from " I need this" to "well maybe....." after hearing about the price, to "naw, never mind" after hearing 2 hour battery life. A battery life that short kills the portability of it. Thanks for the info and glad to have found your channel. You def earned my sub!
For now, I'd be happy with a twin-screen device that only handles DS games. But if it can handle 3DS and costs significantly more then I'd expect the screen to actually be 3D. Edit: Of course that would be awkward for all the other 2D systems. 😒
Does that fat thing can be called "portable" ? It doesn't fit in the pocket. I can have a better small laptop for the same price. For now on, I'll just continue using my 2DS XL and my powkiddy for retro. They are still the best machines to me.
I absolutely love the 3DS stereoscopic experience, and couldn't possibly play the games without it. I understand and accept that I'm the only person in the world who thinks this.
Idk. What concerns me is Ayaneo keeps making and putting these shelves fast. It worries me about quality control and product support since they just keep jumping to next device with very little upgrades.
How’s the Dreamcast collection going? An update video would be good as we havnt heard anything since the initial ones you made. I just got one a few weeks ago and it’s one of my fave consoles already. 👍🏼
An AyanNeo Slide DS would also be awesome. - 2 x equally sized large screens - full controllers because they're on the sides I would love if AyaNeo made an AyaNeo Slide Dual 10"+ Screen version option for large screen lovers. Got a TDJ T101 10", OneXplayer X1 - 11" and ordering an OneXplayer X1 AMD - 11" so yeah, I would so snap up an AyaNeo Slide DS 10"+
Wouldn't you be able to extend the monitor when playing 3DS and DS games and then just editing the display on Citra so that it can technically be two screens?
Maybe rename the title they made a new 2DS in 2024, unless this has a slider that plays 3ds in 3d. I missed it if you mentioned it. I was all excited…lol I may be one of few that love playing 3ds in 3d. It does look beautiful though with that giant screen!!! Nice video 👍
My assumption on the 8840U is a substitute in the event that systems installed with the 7840U were out of stock, or some form of cost cutting measure without affecting device performance? Something along those lines
I always have the same feeling for any Ayaneo device. Amazing concept, good execution, and actually available to buy. What a great combo till I see that the price is 4 digits.
Thank you for the review. I had originally back this during the initial campaign, but back out when I came a great deal on a used Win Mini. I love the cool concept and clamshell form factor. If you get tired of Windows and want to try something new you should try installing Bazzite or ChimeraOS. I’m running Bazzite on the Mini and it works really well. The only quirk I’ve found, other than the normal TDP issues is R2 doesn’t always work with Steam inputs enabled. Once I disable it there aren’t any issues
I’ve wanted to play a game called fantasy life on the 3ds on emulation for AGES but using items is the first because you press the bottom screen. I need this.
You're definitely not mistaken, I now have all of the deluxe editions of Berserk and I'm very impatiently waiting for volume 42 to release in English haha! Thanks for subscribing!
You know, if Nintendo make the 4DS instead of Switch 2, that makes better, however it never deserve it since Nintendo Switch got a massive success. But it could happen if they make Nintendo Switch 2SP in 2027 The size of the portable switch consile is similar to the Microsoft Surface Duo but without a second screen
When you game on a PC with 2 monitors you can have the main monitor playing the game with some helpful info on the second one. Dual screen devices allow for more of this type of game design plus you can interact with it on the fly since its a touch screen (although it requires you to lift your hands off the controls to touch the second screen because the system is too big).
I think the big issue here is that it's mainly a 3DS emulator but the upper screen isn't even 3D to use this main feature of the 3DS. I loved my 3DS for that exact reason and not having this here is a deal breaker considering that we have very impressive glasses-free 3D nowadays. If it had 3D I would've even paid 2,000 bucks
8:53 disagree. Any Debian, Ubuntu or even Arch based distribution nowadays can run windows programs without many hassle. It's not perfect either, but surely beats using that. KDE also runs great with touchscreen desktop setups. As well as Windows 10, 8.1 and even 7
I'm sorry I might be stupid for this, but don't ds games run on 3ds? could you not just use the 3ds emulator to run ds games? that way you don't need to use a single screen?
Folding and dual screens are going to be the future for laptops, tablets and handhelds I recon. An extra screen makes a huge difference. people like to use social media, watch movies, let's play, podcasts etc...while playing games.
I like the design and aspects,but can it play the DS Old disk as well,I only see a SD card slot not disk slot.How can Play my old disk on it.someone explain to do I do that.please help me with that.thanks.
Have been using this since launch, and been an absolute joy. I've beaten more games the last couple months than in the last few years. Clamshell is just a necessity for the portability factor of a handheld for me. I really did enjoy my Ally and Steam Deck oled, but the pick-up-and-go and stop playing at a moments notice left a lot to be desired compared to Flip DS.
Yes it does! I just wanted to try and set everything up without using any external devices for this video. You'd probably have a much better experience with a keyboard and mouse however that does obviously remove a lot of its portability.
You can with 3DS but it's a little bit fiddly because you'll want to download BorderlessGaming to make the bottom display full screen. DS can sort of be done by using software called OnTopReplica but it's a nightmare to set up on this and the bottom display will lose its touch screen functionality if you do it like that. So basically I wouldn't even bother with DS on here unless an update for the emulation software happens which lets you split the screens across two monitors. 3DS is really good though once you get it working 👍
A "little" bit expensive? A tech savvy person can build a great affordable PC for the same price, just without the form factor which, let's face it, is the premium you'd be paying for this device: paying for the niche and the convenience of a PC on the go with dual screen. For almost half the price, a Steam Deck wins the value proposition here IMO, or for strictly DS, and 3DS games, getting a used or even refurbished 3DS or N3DS on Ebay is way more affordable.

Don't forget battery too
I’m sorry, that price KILLS any intrest I have in this device.
Almost a $1,000?? Do you know what you can do with a band?
You can:
- Buy a NEW 3DS AND a WiiU with cash to spare
- A Prebuilt PC
- A Steam Deck Oled
- A Competitive Portable PC
All of which could play DS/3DS/WiiU and possibly so much more without some or any of the hassles.
With a band? Play music, work at clubs, stuff like that.

For $1000 it should also have the stereoscopic 3D of the 3DS.

I guess just stealing an idea doesn’t translate to a physical product.
They’re actually more justified than apple, because they don’t have the volume and integration that the big boys enjoy.
it doesn't work like that you would need a big company to bring this out in a price that is lower then this
@@imperialdra-mon5907tbh I'm not sure if a bigger company would want the price to be lower either way nowadays
It doesn’t have any games to profit from, it’s not from a massive company and its not cheap to manufacture.
