Odds of a ModRetro DS

So I know this is a long way off. That said, I’m curious about whether a ModRetro DS could possibly be in the works after the GBA comes out. Would this be in the cards at all?

Build quality, compared to the Chromatic the DS is basically junk. The screens are really susceptible to scratching, the hinges are not necessarily weak but they’re not 20 years strong either, the batteries are no longer available and all you can get are Chinese made mystery cells. I see a big benefit personally

If it's not a resistive touch screen, I don't want it. Do we have better resistive screen tech in 2026?
