this device has been around for a while now. i’m coming up on a year with my thor and it has been an amazing experience. so much so that i want to preserve it as best i can, but when this shoulder button bug has been an issue for far too long. my thor was on max brightness closed for 10 hours straight today. my top screen was absolutely chalked. thankfully it was just retention and not burn in. the fact it hasn’t been handled yet is truly mind boggling.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the new Stardew Valley dual screen mod update is officially out now!

For this update, the main focus was on fixing a lot of bugs and improving overall stability. The mod is also now exclusive to the Dualscreen Launcher, so there is no longer any need to install or use the second app anymore. Everything is handled directly through the launcher now.

Because of this change, the updated dual screen mod can no longer be used through CinderBox, GameNative, or GameHub. You will need to use the Dualscreen Launcher to run the latest version.

SMAPI mod support is still fully available though, so you can continue using your other Stardew Valley mods alongside the dual screen mod.

If you are interested in checking out the new update, take a look at my post here!

More beautiful work being done by Profmags! I commissioned skyward sword with swiping support Ala DS style since skywards mechanics center around it. Actually amazing stuff!

After seeing all the amazing dual-screen projects and mods on this subreddit, especially the Java dual-screen mod by exojosh, I wanted to bring a similar experience to Minecraft Bedrock Edition on the AYN Thor.

I've built a Bedrock addon + companion app that turns the second screen into a 3DS-inspired interface. I'm a software engineer by profession, but I did use AI to assist with certain parts of the development, such as implementing the input handling for the three action buttons.

Currently working:

• Fully functional touch hotbar
• All hotbar controls supported
• Drag & drop to swap/reposition items
• Real-time XP bar
• Real-time map with 4 zoom levels
• Inventory, crafting & pause buttons
• Live coordinates banner

I plan to publish the source code once it's ready.

In the meantime, I'd love to get some testers involved. If you have an AYN Thor and would be willing to help test it, DM me and we can connect on Discord.

Hey, I'm the guy who made the previous dual screen mod for Super Metroid: https://www.reddit.com/r/AynThor/comments/1vdopik/super_metroid_dual_screen_mod/

Since the decomp that mod was built on isn't fully complete, that version had some real issues, freezes and crashes in specific rooms mostly. So I scrapped that approach and went with pure emulation instead, using my own custom RetroArch build.

All the features from the old build are in this one too (live map, HP/ammo, items tab, map markers, settings), just running on top of a complete emulator core instead of an unfinished decomp engine. It also adds two things the old version couldn't do:

- Real widescreen support, through a patch
- RetroAchievements support

It runs correctly now, you shouldn't hit the freezes or crashes you'd normally get from the old decomp based version, since this is running on actual emulation instead. Widescreen can cause some visual glitches here and there, but it's otherwise very stable.

This should also work with Super Metroid Redux, except for selecting ammo through the touch screen. Only tested that myself for about the first 20 minutes or so though because I was curious.

Setup instructions are in the README, including how to get widescreen working. This doesn't collide with a RetroArch install you might already have, it's a completely separate app.

Please read the README carefully before asking questions, most things you'd run into are probably already covered there.

One more thing I want to be upfront about: I used AI to help build this. If that's a dealbreaker for you, I'd steer clear of this project. No offense taken either way.

I just got my thorn and I have almost no idea how to set it up. I watched a couple of tutorials that were recommended on Reddit, but I don’t speak English well, and, as luck would have it, those videos don’t even have subtitles in my language… Please give me some tips

I already contacted support, but needless to say… I’m really upset.

EDIT: Just want to say thank you for all the condolences. I’m still waiting to hear back from support which I know is normal to take a day or two. Just trying to not think too much about it until then. I’ll update once a resolution is reached.

Also, since some people seem confused, it was delivered to me this way. I’m just as confused as you are.

Just wanted to share a few AYN Thor creations I’ve worked on recently. ☺️
And just to avoid any confusion, no, I’m not secretly rich enough to own all of these haha. Only the one with the green buttons is actually mine. The others belong to customers here in my country who sent their Thors to me and asked me to customize them.
I also recently found another really pretty frontend called CL. I’ve already sent my white Thor out to someone to help me set it up and customize the software for me. I think I might work on a few new Odin 3 or black Thor creations sometime this week too.

Which is your favorite emulator for Ayn Thor? Can we take advantage of the full screen of Thor or is stretch or 16:9'the best we get?

I want to customize my Thor with something custom but I don’t know exactly what I want to do. I already have custom buttons on the way but I’m not sure if I want to order a custom decal or vinyl. Maybe print out a picture, cut it and put it under the shell. Or just put stickers. I can’t decide. I’ve also seen people put skins on the inside bottom half, if you have one let me see! Show me how all of your Thors look and hopefully it will get my creative juices flowing.

I've gone through many tutorials on getting Luminescent Platinum working on my Thor however it looks like the mod is only partially installed? Can anyone please help me? I've used both the newest keys and firmware and I've reverted to 19 My BD File is also v1.3.0 I had it working on my Phone but I've been struggling for 2 days now to get it to run on the Thor! Any Insight will help me out greatly!

I have been looking into getting the Thor Max version for a while and have actually changed around a lot of shopping decisions just so I could afford the max model because everything I have researched let me know I would need the storage.

The size, the shape, the chipset is all perfect for where I am now in my gaming journey. Just starting out but not really ignorant what I'm doing. It's the price of the max however that makes me wonder if I should look at other alternatives. Even calculating all the money I would get for the next 10 months from my family through allowance I would still need a ask my dad for money.

I'm actually been thinking about getting the retroid pocket Nova because it's cheaper small like I want and I could buy the dual screen add-on. I do want to get the Thor but unless it goes down in price by about $200 I might pick something else if I don't feel like waiting for a whole year. I am one of the people who is actually looking to use this device as a steam deck replacement. If I were to receive the max version of the console I would have filled that terabyte up with the steam/computer games. I intend to use both game native and winlator.

Been setting up and checking out some of the dual screen mods this afternoon, these are a game changer. I'm only an hour or so in but just being able to have the map up at all times is great when you haven't played in a couple of years.

Be sure to check out the thread the mod's creator posted if you are interested in checking this out for yourself.

Hi all! I recently added an Android section to my site for ports and such and thought the good people of this sub might be interested in it. I'm always looking for additions so if anyone has any suggestions just comment here or use the Suggestion section on the site.

Cheers, and enjoy 👍

I know there will be latency but how bad is it for you guys? Also I’m assuming latency watching youtube videos will be nonexistent, and latency exists mostly when playing games.
Any comments will be helpful.

I want to know if anyone has tried this TPU case yet, it looks like it’s a solid fit but they only have a picture of the top side. Anyone get this one?

Big update guys! The newest version of the Dualscreen Launcher now has Eden DS fully integrated directly into the app.

That means the launcher now supports both PC games and Switch games with their dualscreen mods, all from one place. Instead of using separate apps, you can switch between your PC and Switch libraries, manage your games, and launch their dualscreen versions from the same interface.

For the Switch side of things, each game still has its own settings so you can tweak things and find the right balance between performance and compatibility. The PC side still works the same way as before, with predefined containers and settings already configured for each supported game.

The goal is to keep everything as simple as possible while still giving you the flexibility you need where it matters.

PC games, Switch games, and all of their dualscreen mods are now together in one unified app!

The update will be live in a few hours! If you already have the Dualscreen Launcher installed, you won’t need to download anything manually. The app will automatically check for the new version and update itself the next time you launch it.

Just curious. I have bad carpal tunnel and it hurts to use buttons on controllers but mouse and keyboard doesn’t hurt. Any ideas?

AYN Thor (Max) + RayNeo GT Max = peak Skyrim

Unfortunately I have left my Thor on a Plane 😭.
Before I purchase a new one this is a Hail Mary to see if the person who got very lucky would prefer a cash reward or I can send them their own Thor. My own Thor was heavily customized and I had a lot of settings setup for developer purposes to help make dual screen games for the community. Like I said, just a Hail Mary before I’m forced to buy a new one which I would rather send to the person who found it. Even if it was reset I would still like to just know where it is for closure.

Left on a plane at JFK airport on a Delta flight coming from London Heathrow. Delta clearly didn’t clean the plane cause it went back Heathrow where it was turned on for a bit. Delta Heathrow has not found it. I left it on the plane August 14 so close to there it was tuned on. I’m assuming it’s sitting on someone’s desk in the UK.

It was Rainbow Max 1TB with a specific case and a very specific modification to the case that will help me identify it along with some other things in the case.

Shoot me a DM of pictures of the case and Thor if you believe you are the lucky individual who found it.

And yes I’m ready for all the painful jokes 🥲
