Finally got both! One35 vs Zero40 running NDS side by side. Which one do you prefer?

Here's a quick comparison using New Super Mario Bros. (NDS) with the same emulator settings.

My first impressions:

  • One35: More compact and pocketable. The 3.5" display feels surprisingly good for DS games.
  • Zero40: Although it has a larger 4.0" display, the individual DS screens end up being about the same size as the One35 once the center gap between the top and bottom screens is removed.

I haven't decided which one I like more yet.

For those who own both (or have tried both), which one would you keep, and why?

Average delivery times from the MagicX store?

Hey folks, I picked up a One35 yesterday and I'm too excited not to ask, what was your experience with delivery time ordering direct from MagicX?

Some AliExpress stuff has taken over a month to arrive to Australia but 4PX sounds like a FedEx equivalent, so I guess pretty fast?

MagicX One 35 is $90 (incl. shipping) for two weeks.

It's a pretty good deal if you want a cheap, powerful and versatile device.

Is it worth switching to a Custom Firmware if I only play in short bursts and don't use Android?

I’ve had my handheld (Mini 28 Zero) running the stock OS for a while now. I’ve noticed that I barely ever touch the Android side of it, and honestly, the stock interface feels pretty unpolished and lacks aesthetic customization.

This is strictly my casual leisure console for quick pick-up-and-play sessions—mostly used to kill time when I'm waiting in lines or during short breaks. Since I don't use the Android features and just want a fast, beautiful, and highly customizable interface, is it worth ditching the stock OS for a custom one? If so, what do you recommend for this type of quick-session gaming?

How to set up my new magicx one35? There’s only one game

I just received my set yesterday and I’m totally lost. When I turned it on, the Dawn launcer was automatically loaded and it showed only 1 game, psvita, dragon’s crown.

I followed what google’s AI said, went to the settings, and selected ‘update game list and configuration’. It prompted me to choose scan changed directories or scan all. I tried both options. The scan ran like just a few seconds and there’s no change after the scans: there’s just one game.

I’ve checked the microsd card and there are many games.

What should I do to make the launcher work? Could anyone help please?

EDIT: Solved. If you’re like me, receiving your brand new console that shows only one default game when you turn it on, you have to set the game rom path on the game card and then scan the directory.

Step 1: while you’re in the default launcher, try navigating to the settings using the shoulder buttons

Step 2: in the settings, scroll down and look for the item ‘select game library directory’, and point to the card’s game/roms directory

Step 3: still in settings, find the item ‘update game list and configuration’, and scan all directories

I know these are very easy steps for seasoned users, but for someone who’s unfamiliar with the system, maybe my experience will help.
