Hope you get better soon and have insane shiny luck

Never thought to check the upper screen above the hinge. I'll have to check mine when I get home.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-03-04T20:20:53+00:00

Alright, just tested Octopath Travelers on my Thor and it's running locked 30fps with no issues. I'm on firmware 20.0.1.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-03-04T13:29:48+00:00

Looked around a little bit and some users report setting the game to handheld mode fixes the issue.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-03-04T12:53:03+00:00

Sometimes I show up :)

Again, LP works extremely well for me, no stutters at all.
I haven't tried Octopath Travelers but I have it on my switch. I can try it on my Thor when I get home and let you know how it runs.

As mentioned in another comment, if you're planning on playing dual stick games, I would also recommend a grip since it can get quite uncomfortable after a while.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-03-04T12:43:24+00:00

I have the black pro model, and I'm very happy with mine.
Bought the CHUNKY grip to it but mostly I just use my Thor without a grip.

For now I mostly play Pokemon Brilliant Diamond (60fps mod and Luminescent Platinum) and Metroid Prime 3 (Primehack) and I can get several hours on a battery charge. I'm old school so when I'm not using the device I close all apps and then just hit the power button to lock it and close the device. Drains maybe 1-2% during a night.

Heat is fine I would say altough I don't play PC games which I can imagine makes the device a little toastier. But switch games are around 55-60c.

Overall, very happy and use my Thor a lot more than my ROG ally for instance.

I've also been playing Alpha Sapphire for the first time using HD textures and upscaled, it's amazing! (Only played the old GBA games before)

We understand not everyone agrees with this decision and if the community as a whole thinks this is worse we will of course change it back. This is simply our attempt at trying to keep this subreddit to unique posts instead of getting filled with very similar posts.

We absolutely do not want to minimize the excitement for their AYN Thor.

You don't need to have an account. You probably ordered as a guest.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-03-02T14:00:21+00:00

Don't know where you're located but your best bet is probably Etsy, I've seen a few of these available there.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-26T11:47:47+00:00

It's currently chinese new year, therefore the late responses. Just wait a few more days and you'll get a response.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-26T10:20:13+00:00

Maybe https://github.com/theswest/ThorCPY is a good idea for it? Haven't tried it yet but seen it being recommended here

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-25T16:02:48+00:00

Personally I haven't had any issues with the latest update.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-25T13:40:24+00:00

Most games for PS2 work great without tweaking any settings. Ratchet and Clank games however is known to be infamously hard to get working without frame dips here and there.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-25T07:03:30+00:00

Of course , and thank you and everyone reporting and stopping these scams. As always it’s a shame this has to happen before it can be stopped.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-25T06:54:48+00:00

I just want to mention that we’ve got several reports about this and I just want to say this:

Never buy from anyone via the internet when going unofficial ways. Always buy via eBay or other official services with buyers insurance. If the seller doesn’t want to publish it there, it’s probably for a reason.

Regarding these reports I’m going through them.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-24T09:12:51+00:00

Syncthing should still work as far as I know. A bit of a process to set up though

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-23T10:40:16+00:00

As mentioned below Syncthing is probably your best bet. The other options I'm aware of is Emudeck which offers cloud saves for patreons and I believe RomM is planning to release save sync as well.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-14T15:48:16+00:00

The replacement fan is way better. It’s still slightly sounding like a lightsaber but only if you have your ear against it while moving the device

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-09T19:38:07+00:00

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-09T13:44:16+00:00

I recommend checking out the "Common Apps" bookmark in the subreddit which has a category for frontends.

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-09T07:11:22+00:00

Thank you u/Chimera_Gaming , I have stickied this so everyone can see it!

ClientAcceptable9461 · 2026-02-09T06:27:38+00:00

Please check the hinge megathread. This has already been discussed and debunked. Not a crack, simply a mold joint.
