The Nintendo DS remains one of the most successful handheld consoles in Nintendo's history. However, due to its dual screens and touch controls, porting games from this platform to modern systems has always been a challenging task. Aside from the Virtual Console on the Wii U, an official, simple way to stream DS games onto a big screen never materialized.
What is DualStation?
A modder going by the handle KOUZEX has introduced their own unofficial solution—a console called DualStation. The device allows connecting a working Nintendo DS motherboard and outputting the display from both screens directly to a TV or monitor.
Device features:
- Dual-screen TV output: The image is adapted for comfortable gameplay on a large display.
- Wireless controller support: You can play using various modern gamepads.
- Touchscreen and microphone emulation: Dedicated input solutions are provided for interactive DS features.
- Game Boy Advance support: Thanks to the preserved DS slot, you can also run GBA cartridges on the big screen.
The creator of the device has already published a video demonstrating the DualStation in action along with a detailed assembly process. In the future, he plans to start selling ready-made kits on his website.
