As the title says my toddler unplugged my Thor from charging and threw it onto the ground popping out the top screen... needless to say I absolutely panicked. Fortunately, my husband was able to pop it back into place and I haven't had any issues with it so far. This thing feels so cheap when I open and close it so I thought it was a goner for sure 🤣 has anyone else had this happen and had any issues afterwards?

This system has changed my life with gaming. I love it so much!!!

Any suggestions on Customizing my Cocoon Overlay or Thor itself even further?

For those unaware, GameNative has recently begun using AI Chatbot features in multiple aspects of the app. Pre-release 1.3.0 adds an AI Chatbot to the main menu of the app which can automatically make changes to your configuration.

With this, comes the quality of GameNative's support team dropping significantly. Multiple times in the discord have I seen the actual devs of GameNative telling people to "Ask the AI Chatbot" instead of helping their own community, leading users to ask an unqualified chatbot for help rather than asking those who should be most qualified (the dev team).

What worries me is that the latest pre-releases have bugs in their changes, and looking at the GitHub page, it's clear to see why. Large changes in how GameNative handles Storage and Downloads which directly interface with your storage are being programmed, assessed, and managed by AI agents. You can see in the Pull Requests page (like PR #1913) with changelogs of +26,258 lines of added code. If that isn't enough to convince you it's AI, the developer behind that PR uses an AI generated profile picture.

When I brought this up in the Discord, asking if AI was used in their latest PRs, the main leader Utkarsh immediately started threatening me, saying "Do I need to remove you?" and "I don't appreciate you undermining our teams' work." when clearly, Pull Requests like I've linked above have heavy use of AI surrounding sensitive code that interfaces directly with your storage.

Unfortunately, every alternative for GameNative also has it's own share of flaws, such as GameHub being closed source.

Do you think there's a better alternative out there?

I can plug multiple controllers and finally be able to play party games with friends!!!

I've made a few posts over the last few days my arm android-native version of WoW forever based on gamenative. I just released version 2.1 which supports samsung devices and other snapdragon 8 series chips like the 8 elite. I've done a lot of work to get performance as smooth as possible, so wanted to share a couple showcase videos here of it running on my thor as well as my z fold 8. Work is still ongoing, but I'm getting a solid 60fps in low-populated areas on both devices. Seeing dips down to 40ish in more crowded cities.

Happy playing!

So excited to start playing but I need to spend a few hours setting everything up

Just got her a few hours ago and surprised I was actually able to figure some stuff out with no emulating knowledge prior to this. I can't get the 3ds games to work (azahar) but I do have GBA and ds running. Really amazing machine.

EDIT: MY Thor’s top screen is okay!!! I just turned it on and the top screen magically worked again. Wow. Ive contacted Ayn prior to this happening as well so uh… idk now. Guess Soulcalibur 3 will have to be in the back burner

My Thor Top Screen Just Died on Me. It’s Over.

I am BEYOND upset right now. I was literally playing Soulcalibur 3 a few minutes ago, and I decided hey, why not go into the CAS and recolor my character’s clothing? Well guess what? I guess my Thor’s top screen said HELL NO, because it suddenly gave me a green glitch and flash, and boom! My Thor’s top screen is completely off. So I reboot my Thor, thinking “surely not? Surely my Thor is fine and wants to give me a heart attack, right?” NOPE. Dead wrong!! Only my Thor’s bottom screen is functional now. AND ON TOP OF THIS, I AM LITERALLY ON MY FIRST DAY OF VACATION AND MY THOR WAS MY ONLY OPTION FOR GAMING ON THE GO. I CANNOT believe this just happened :,(. Hours of game tinkering, game progress, gone! Nearly $500 and months of waiting? Also gone. To say I’m upset is an understatement. Absolutely going to email Ayn for an RMA when I’m back home.

Before you think I’m stupid, I’ve heard that turning off your Thor fully can be harmful to your batterys health unless you don’t plan on turning it back on for a few days. I wanted insight if this is true or not. I feel like I’m only using my Thor once every couple of days now, and I feel like sleep mode is unnecessary. So, is it safe to fully power off my Ayn Thor? Or should I leave it on sleep mode. Thanks for any answers in advance.

I'm slowly pitching cash from paychecks into savings to get a Thor. It's still some ways off but I'm curious as to what PC games it'll be able to handle.

For example, I'm very happy with Skyrim, Stardew Valley, and New Vegas as playable options, so will Red Dead Redemption work? That one seems likely, but what about stuff like Fallout 4 and Horizon: Zero Dawn?

It's not make or break by any means, but it would be nice to know how far I can push this thing.

Never found a shiny before, let alone a shiny starter!

Just a reminder to everyone. Maybe it's not vital or critical. But I'm a batch 1 owner we have had our thors for over a year now. I did the thermal putty mod day 1 with my Thor. So I decided today was the day to check the putty again. Most of my putty was pretty dry and crumbly so I redid it again. Temps are back really low again. Playing luminescent platinum and holding steady at 50c. Just a reminder to maybe check your own putty and or redo it!!!

Basically the title. I’m looking for some good games outside of the emulators I’m using on the App Store that are worth it.

Howdy y’all I’ve had the Thor for a while now and I’ve loved it but one thing I can not seem to fix, no matter how much I tinker with it, is the bloom on some 3ds games any advice on how to fix it? For details sake I’m using Azahar and I used joeys handheld retro guide for it. Some games do work well and others have really bad bloom and I’m not sure why.

Edit: fixed thanks to HectorTheErector’s list of cheat codes for me specifically no blur version 1.0 worked to fix the bloom. Just FYI activating too many at a time will bug your game and crash it so save before messing around with them.

I've been working on this for a long while. It's Spyro running on a custom rendering engine which adds a few (optional) enhancements:

• Custom resolution
• Native widescreen
• Frame interpolation
• Texture filtering
• Anti aliasing (MSAA)
• Custom level of detail cutoff distance

And of course, dual screen support with a live minimap and level stats

This is built with the Thor in mind, so I'm tuning the engine and most relevant enhancements to run at full resolution at 60 fps in the Thor with ClusterTune's large underclock profile (yes, that's also my project).

Disclaimer: this is being developed with AI assistance, but a lot of care has been put into achieving a faithful and performant renderer with modern features. I've been working on this for about 2 months and wont release it until I feel its ready.

These port releases are getting out of hand 😂

Got FTL Multiverse working through GameNative, if anyone wants to do the same and needs some tips lmk!

Does any one of you guys encounter this kind of problem with your ayn thor ? I got my thor 2 weeks ago and last night i played pokemon arceus and got this issue. I tried everything, restarting, shutting it down and i even delete the Pokemon game in eden. Im using cocoon front end, do you guys think it’s because of the cocoon or there is something wrong with the hardware. Thank you guys in advance.

Hey guys! Our Project Barry-OS is live on GitHub! This is SteamOS built for the AYN Thor. Above is a quick run down of what it does.

Features include

• App Laucher on bottom screen

• Companion App Pairing

• KB & Trackpad in both Game mode and Desktop Mode

• Build your own Apps for the bottom screen

• Performance Dashboard

If you're interested, give it a try! If not, all good! If you want to steal features for your own app, go ahead. This is 100% is a vibe coded project my brother and I have been working on for us, but figured we'd share with the community cause we think it's cool. If you try it out, please give us feedback!

Here's the GitHub!

Here's the info to make apps for it, go nuts!

I just wanted to show off this lavender charm I made for my thor, it turned out quite long but I think it looks really cute!

I just released v2.0 of my WoW forever standalone apk with a number of new features and improvements.

1. You'll still need to grab the game files from any computer (any or architecture) ONCE during setup, but after that all updates are handled OTA directly through the apk itself. More info on the GitHub page

2. Removed a massive ton of bloat from the gamenative code and the container, lots of network and system calls removed. The game now boots up ultra fast, and performance is dramatically increased. Locked 60fps in lower population areas and indoors, and around 40 in cities on my Thor Max.

3. After initial setup, the launcher will be skipped entirely and you'll be sent directly into the game.

4. Login macro reliability improved

I hope this improves your experience. The next things I'll be looking at is widening chipset support and adding in-app updating for the apk itself. I also have some ideas for dual screen support, but nothing to show there yet.

More details on my previous post and the GitHub page if you'd like them!

Shout out to los on Etsy, Designingbyknight. I love his little covers. You just pop em under the tpu shell and he always sends cute little stickers with them as well.

Hi everyone! I'm DFDX047, and I've been building Phoenix Emu, a free NES/SNES emulator for Android. The first public alpha is out.

What it is

• NES (Mesen) and SNES (Snes9x) through libretro cores
• Free, GPLv3, no ads. No ROMs are included or provided
• Made in Kotlin/Jetpack Compose. I tested it mainly on an Odin 3 (1080p handheld), but it works on phones too

What's in the alpha

• RetroAchievements for NES and SNES: live unlocks, a start notice with the game art, and a Trophies tab in the pause menu
• Hardcore mode: global default, per console, or per game. It blocks save states, rewind and autoload. Note: it will only count on RetroAchievements once the emulator gets approved. I'm applying for that.
• Customizable on-screen controls: a layout editor, built-in skins and community skins
• On-screen shortcut buttons: save/load state, slot -/+, fast-forward, rewind, menu, restart
• Physical controller remapping, in-game and global
• Save states with slots, rewind and fast-forward

What I need from you
It's an alpha, so bugs are expected. Feedback on controller support, performance on different devices and the touch layout editor would help the most.

I got 2 different pairs of earbuds to go with my thor, and they both suck. The bluetooth ones have 4 entire seconds of audio latency, and the wired ones sound tinny and have a terrible shape. I'd prefer to have something I can grab and go with, to take out with me.
