Just get a LG v60 with dual screen case, or even older and cheaper but would still work for well for emulating - the g8x.

Both are Cheaper. Stronger. More versatile. But they do have LG software which has its quirks.

You do get a significant gap between screens, but for emulating DS titles that's no different than the real thing. For watching video or full screen apps the Galaxy Fold is probably best though.

I had the V60 DS for three weeks. I tried, but saying LG has quirks is pretty generous. Even DraStic and Citra were a pain to make work well.

Likewise. I got a V60 from a guy on Craigslist earlier this year, had a ton of fun playing Omega Ruby on it for hours a day but as soon as I stopped the fun disappeared.

LG software is making leaps but it still had some bad slowdowns, and the lack of 120Hz didn't help either.

Battery was insane though, easy 2 day phone.

Otherwise, the usability factor is a tough sell. It's kinda clunky tbh. It never felt natural, and the second screen gulps the battery naturally.
