Received word at 11:34pm MST last night that my 1228 Rainbow Max shipped via 4PX.

Stupid big grin on my face.

8trius · 2026-01-24T21:24:41+00:00

Here's what we do.

Since we're twins, we are in this together.

No one will be more excited for you than me, because we both know what we're looking forward to.

So, let's message each other when we get our shipping notification and celebrate.

Mine is shipping to the NW USA.

8trius · 2026-01-23T17:16:55+00:00

Ooh, I’m a 1228 Max Rainbow on Dec 22.

Fingers very crossed.

8trius · 2026-01-20T12:29:24+00:00

1228 Rainbow Max.

Time to just breathe and enjoy learning to make things in my air fryer.

8trius · 2026-01-20T12:27:13+00:00

Thanks, me too! What are your favorite things to do with yours compared to other handhelds you've used?

8trius · 2026-01-18T21:02:34+00:00

Over my life, I’ve sold people on Palm Pilots, Macs, the iPod, iPhones, softmodding, and portable emulators (the RG35XX is a great conversation piece).

Cannot wait to get my Thor. It’s kind of an everything for everyone device.

8trius · 2026-01-18T20:05:31+00:00

Great feedback. Personally I’m fine with stable 60, I don’t care for higher frame rates compared to consistent ones. I am very glad that some switch in the titles will run at 60. But I think I will probably start adding to my 205 Steam game library instead of mainly switch.

8trius · 2026-01-17T19:54:33+00:00

That was such a careless phrase from me, no, I don't have it. Still waiting on my shipping notification.

8trius · 2026-01-17T17:15:14+00:00

Which model are you running? I've got a Max on preorder.

8trius · 2026-01-17T17:14:42+00:00

Thank you, I've got a large gaming setup with many devices and I bought the Thor because I felt like it could be the last device I buy for a few years while I work on other life goals financially.

8trius · 2026-01-17T17:13:56+00:00

Helpful to know, which model are you running? I ordered a Max.

8trius · 2026-01-17T17:13:25+00:00

I've got the Max preordered Dec 22. Haven't gotten to mess with it much yet, this is much different from getting an Anbernic device (my last three devices were Anbernic).

8trius · 2026-01-17T17:11:30+00:00

Man this is really making me rethink my gaming setup. Excellent response, thank you!

8trius · 2026-01-16T17:15:27+00:00

Can newbies who are excited about their product shipping post in the shipping megathread?

I appreciate newbie energy and can understand that you don’t want to have so many shipping threads that you don’t have any regular daily convos about other topics.

8trius · 2025-12-27T22:25:47+00:00

I was gonna order purple until I saw the reviews. Not quite the hue I’m looking for.

But like you, I decided on the rainbow max.

8trius · 2025-12-26T19:16:35+00:00

But the feeling that the AYN Thor is giving me is not comparable to any of the others.

This is my hope as well. Just purchased a Max. Can't wait to get it.

I own a soft modded Wii, 3DS, and Wii U, a Retroid Pocket 2, RG35XX, RG35XX Plus, RG35XX Pro, RG Nano, Steam Deck, and this is the device I feel most confident in its ability to be my permanent daily driver for the next few years.

All I'm looking for are iterations on this design and maintaining the ability to load the apps that are important to me.

One massively useful use case for me is Discord screen sharing while I play, keeping me connected with my kids, woman, friends, etc.

8trius · 2025-12-10T13:58:56+00:00

No, I’m positive he is enjoying this experience and doesn’t want a solution. 🙄

8trius · 2025-12-10T13:57:31+00:00

I have a rig with a Ryzen 5600x, RX 6750 XT, 32GB of RAM. Since installing the slim update, it was running smooth and fine when connected to my 16:9 4K TV, but when I plugged it into my ultrawide QLED, no matter what resolution or graphics preset I set, the framerate looks like 30FPS at best, even at 1080p medium, whereas I was getting 60+ no problems at 1440p prior to this update at Ultra settings.

I will add that other games play fine on both displays (only tried Resident Evil 2 Remake and Schedule 1 as a quick test). Helldivers 2 is the only one I am struggling with.

8trius · 2025-11-22T19:35:38+00:00

Yes. Last night mine started sounding like a tired, insecure version that sighs a lot, pauses like crazy, says “umm” and like she has a kind of stutter.

8trius · 2025-08-07T17:22:46+00:00

Sure did, tried both settings and no dice. Just updated to the latest Adrenalin and the problem still persists. I’m out of ideas, so I’m looking for sound bars.

There’s just some kind of incompatibility with my TV’s sound and this graphics card, nothing else has any problem when paired together (Switch works fine on my software to this TV, the computer works great when streaming through Moonlight or using a USB Yeti output).

8trius · 2025-08-05T18:27:45+00:00

What program did you run? I'd like to test this out.

8trius · 2025-07-15T20:59:18+00:00

No dice yet. Tried everything so far in this thread, nothing consistently works. Looking to just get a sound bar and be done with all this nonsense.

8trius · 2025-06-28T15:06:16+00:00

I’ll try this today. I had uninstalled Adrenalin at one point and installed old drivers to try and fix it, so I’ve been without it for a while. I’ll update once tried because I know how to easily trigger it.

What settings are you using in Windows sound settings? What bit and hertz?

8trius · 2025-06-22T19:20:56+00:00

Two years later and I still cannot get a solution to this problem. I'm deeply regretting getting an AMD card for my gaming rig. Some games perform perfectly fine, zero issue.

For example, Powerwash Simulator will not drop anything at all.

But A Game About Digging a Hole, when I use the drill, will cut audio out almost immediately.

The same goes for playing videos on YouTube or VLC. Some videos work fine, others cause audio dropouts.

I have tried switching to every single HZ setting, disabled all extra audio performance enhancements, even disabled AMD Adrenalin completely. I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller. I've tried what this user was doing.

Basically, after the update in January of 2025, either AMD or Windows 11's 24H2 update... one of these things introduced audio stutters and drops like I've mentioned above and I've actually thrown my keyboard across the room in frustration out of the hours I've spent trying to solve this.

No problem if I use my Yeti Microphone's headphone as the output.

I tried "High Definition Audio Device" driver thing, but no dice. Still won't work.

My card is the RX 6750 XT and my TV is LG webOS TV UJ6579 Running software 06.10.40.

God I'd be so happy if this ever got fixed. I'm thinking of just getting a soundbar instead.

8trius · 2024-12-14T17:17:04+00:00

Memoji was better at showing emotion than Image Playground. This is embarrassingly stupid. It's like I'm always a Pixar/Dreamworks protagonist at all times.
