The MagicX Zero 40: A New Approach to Nintendo DS Emulation
Nintendo DS emulation has been a stable feature for years, but the traditional two-screen gameplay has always presented challenges on modern devices. The MagicX Zero 40 aims to change that with its unique design inspired by the Nintendo 2DS.
The handheld device features a tall screen that shifts the display 90 degrees, allowing for a larger vertical space where the two screens from the Nintendo DS are displayed on top of each other. This innovative approach offers a new way to experience Nintendo DS games, with a video demonstration showcasing its capabilities.
Similar to the Nintendo 2DS, the MagicX Zero 40 uses a single display panel cleverly hidden behind its design. Powered by the AllWinner A133P chipset, the device is expected to handle Nintendo DS games smoothly, although it may struggle with running Nintendo 3DS games due to its budget chipset.
While the device does not come with a stylus, users are advised to use a softer alternative to avoid damaging the screen. The IPS display of the MagicX Zero 40 offers a better visual experience compared to the original DS’s LCD screens, despite its slightly awkward resolution.
The MagicX Zero 40 is set to be available for purchase in mid-April at a retail price of . With its unique design and focus on retro gaming, MagicX is poised to make a mark in the handheld gaming market.
