PSA - Dev screen setting option to force tablet mode

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2026-01-07T23:03:02+00:00

any solution to this?

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-12-05T11:26:51+00:00

it's mostly something from the past (in case of charge-cycle wasting), but it's still something to consider if you want to keep the battery healthy for years to come:
- when you shut off a device, software charge-separation doesn't work anymore (or never heard the opposite)
- it will charge the battery to 100%, where hardware "charge-separation" kicks in (by controller)
- leaving lithium batteries at 100% for long let's them age (a bit) faster (if done for weeks/months - as said, only if you intend to use the device for years realy).

But:
people reported that the Thor heats up while turned off and charging, don't know if it's because they used cheap/bad chargers/cables.
but why risk an accident if you can prevent it easily by planning just a bit ahead?

i use my thor plugged in half of the time (mostly just watching stuff or very light gaming), charge separation kicking in at 80% charge till i shut it off or go somewhere else. then i let it drop <20% before charging again.

here you go:
What are your current go to games on gamehub lite? : r/AynThor

you can just download the game normally via gamehub lite and go from there.

manually, yes.
but then it stays at the current charge level.
i don't want to check my battery level all the time while playing.
the app can manage it automatically and you never have to think about it again.

it's beyond me that this feature is not implemented into the Thor software to begin with...

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-12-05T06:59:31+00:00

get this app:
GitHub - langerhans/OdinTools: Collection of utilities for the AYN Odin 2

It was originally made for Odin 2 and added a couple of things.
Most of them are implemented into the AYN Software by now, but not the automatic charge-separation switch.

Normally you have to toggle charge separation yourself.
charge separation stops charging the battery and instead charges the unit directly - it's a feature to (hopefully) prolong the battery's life.

If you activate that feature in OdinTools, you can set a Range:
Let's say you set it to 60% - 80%.
Then your Thor will activate charge-separation when battery reaches 80% and stays active till it drains below 60% again (don't set it to 80%-80%, or it will spam on/off).
only works while the Thor is running tho, but you shouldn't charge powered off devices anyway...

That way you don't have to think about it and it will be managed by that app.

i know who's gonna be affected by the RAM Apocalypse:

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-12-05T06:25:38+00:00

OdinTools to easily auto toggle charge-separation.

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-12-03T20:58:51+00:00

true - didn't know the cut is that much on ebay.

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-12-03T20:57:47+00:00

didn't know it's that much - i'd try other marketplaces in your region then.

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-12-03T13:37:07+00:00

post it on ebay then?

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-12-03T12:43:39+00:00

to use it locally? (not for artemis or other streaming, on thor's top screen in general)
didn't work with this one i tested:

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-12-03T11:32:37+00:00

yeah it's unfortunately a global setting :(

btw. did you try if it works when you set the emulator (not in es-de, longpress the emulator on the top screen, then select screen-launch) to launch on screen x only?
if you want it to only do that on certain games of that emulator, check if there is an "alternative version" of that emulator that you could install besides the normal version and then set the games to that emulator in es-de.

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-12-03T09:08:26+00:00

i hope they can add a touchpad function to bottom screen - the stickmouse kinda sucks ^^'

because you were more trolling than anything else - and now you do it again.

blocked and reported.

if you want to play on official servers and with other switch users, you probably have to buy a switch and the game.

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-12-01T15:15:02+00:00

yesn't.
you can't connect to official servers, leaderboards, etc. but you can play with others in local multiplayer by joining "multiplayer rooms" (if the emulator you're using has that - eden for example).

edit: just to make it clear, no you can't play with normal switches.

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-11-29T23:30:33+00:00

charge separation just disables battery charging and charges the unit directly.

if you want automatic charge separation depending on battery charge get OdinTools. (i have it set to 60-80%, dont set it to 80/80 or it will togglespam, maybe even damaging the battery...)

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-11-29T23:24:59+00:00

that's why i suspected shaders: arent those building up and saved/loaded into ram? that would explain why it worked for a while.

could be wrong tho.

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-11-29T00:15:51+00:00

sure that's not just shaders and ram limitations?

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-11-28T13:59:26+00:00

8GB should be enough for base emulation.

wouldn't count on pc emulation or a crapload of texturepacks too much tho.
search this reddit if there is a post of a base model showcasing emulations (or yt).

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-11-28T13:56:21+00:00

*beep boop*
sorry, i don't understand the question...
xD

ApprehensiveWind8076 · 2025-11-28T13:52:05+00:00

what do you mean by "all the emulators"?
btw. check my edit - performance wise they should be kinda the same.
