MagicX Zero 40: The new handheld solution for Nintendo DS emulation arrives in April
Get ready for the MagicX Zero 40, a revolutionary handheld device arriving in April, designed to emulate your favorite Nintendo DS classics like never before.

There is a growing interest in retro gaming, particularly for classic consoles and original games, causing prices to rise significantly. However, one notable challenge remains: successfully emulating the Nintendo DS. The DS's unique dual-screen design makes it difficult to replicate the gaming experience on single-screen devices. As a result, players have struggled to enjoy their favorite titles such as Zelda, Mario, and Metroid that defined this iconic handheld.
Fortunately, a new device called the MagicX Zero 40 is set to hit the market in April, designed specifically to tackle this emulation challenge. With a design reminiscent of a Nintendo Switch, the MagicX Zero 40 features controls on either side of the screen, allowing it to replicate the dual display of the Nintendo DS. This means players can look forward to an almost perfect emulation of the original DS game cartridges.
Priced at approximately $75, the MagicX Zero 40 is positioned as the best option for anyone wanting to carry an extensive library of Nintendo DS games. This handheld console has made a significant impact, selling more units than other classic handhelds like the Game Boy or its successors in the '90s.
The device boasts two 4-inch screens with a resolution of 800x800 pixels, which should significantly enhance the visual quality compared to the original hardware. In terms of specifications, the MagicX Zero 40 runs on a 64-bit Android operating system, is equipped with 2GB of RAM, and has a battery life ranging from 5 to 7 hours, depending on usage. Additionally, it has a microSD card slot with a maximum capacity of 512GB, allowing users ample storage for their games.
However, it's important to note that, despite the dual screens, the MagicX Zero 40 will only emulate Nintendo DS games according to the current specifications. There's no indication that it will support Nintendo 3DS titles, but for many fans, the ability to play the vast library of DS games is more than enough.
