  1. My thoughts on the AYN Thor dual-screen Android handheld.

    I’ve spent several weeks with this device using it for the majority of my game time and, I have to say, it’s quite awesome! From a hardware perspective, it’s nearly perfect. From the software side, though? It definitely could use some improvement. Thankfully the software is where it will see upgrades.

  2. The real reason I built Amphitere: a #NetHack experience for my #AynThor that feels like it belongs there.

  4. Working on my review of the AYANEO Pocket DS has made me want to go back to dailying the AYN Thor. Really nice little handheld.

  6. New refreshed fork of the gurrhack #Nethack port for #Android, updated to material, light/dark mode, gamepad support, brand new overlay system, and other stuff:

    github.com/fancypantalons/NetH

    My main goal: a version that could take advantage of the two screens and gamepad on my #AynThor.

    Very alpha. Sideload only. You have been warned!

  8. My top 3 favorite retro emulation handhelds.

    Retroid Pocket Classic
    Vertical. Recommend a grip. Amazing for Gameboy games.

    Anbernic RG 406H
    Horizontal. Very comfortable. Decent specs.

    AYN Thor
    Horizontal dual screen. Comfy with and without grip. Powerful. Amazing for DS and 3DS. Can play Switch.

  12. Handheld game console maker AYN responds to RAMageddon with price hike, storage downgrade

    The rising costs of RAM and storage are driving up the cots of devices that use RAM and storage chips. Makers of laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, and gaming handhelds have raised prices or discontinued products in response.

    One of the latest examples? Handheld game console maker AYN has announced two changes to some of its Android-powered handhelds. Moving forward, the Ayn Odin 3 and […]

  17. lol I've had my AYN Thor for a few months now and it's mostly been just a dedicated portable Balatro machine

    But that's fine. I love it and I'll sit down one day and actually play something to completion on it!

  19. I just finished up Orcs & Elves on the #NintendoDS (via the #AynThor).

    Man, I really enjoyed this one. It's by Id Software and is a kind of 1st person turn-based dungeon crawler, but with restricted movement like the old Dungeon Master games.

    It felt incredibly old school and incredibly western, the kind of thing you might find on a PC in the mid-90s.

    It was pretty simple, not too challenging on normal, and was over in a perfectly appropriate 5 hours!

    I loved it!

  21. So what's the meaningful difference in the different models of the Ayn Thor? Reviewers have the wonderful tendency to talk about the CPU model differences, but not what those differences entail for the end user.

    Can the Base model play Switch emulation? Is the Max model overkill? Is the Lite model not useful for anything practical?

    As long as you get one that has the SM8550 CPU you can install linuxloader to boot off the SDcard into anything which as Moon already stated Rocknix is a pretty popular mainline distribution and already takes advantage of a lot of the hardware of the
    #AynThor.
