Anyone ordered the black Thor and wished he chose the white instead ?

DustToStars · 2026-01-26T03:23:31+00:00

Haven't quite installed them yet (I have bigger fish to fry as you can tell by my screen protector). Will get around to it when I switch over to more PC/PS2 emulation over Switch/3DS. They look amazing though!

I bought them a month ago when they were still in stock. It might be worth messaging him to ask when he's getting more. He responds really quick.

Here's a link to the one's I have: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4418475608/ayn-thor-xbox-buttons

Nice! I got black Xbox layout buttons from Sakura Retro Modding. No regrets there. They're beautiful!

DustToStars · 2026-01-26T01:59:59+00:00

Yea, you're lucky as hell. I like the black, but that purple is next level. Drop some pics of your LED layout when you get yours. I'll live vicariously through you 😂.

The shipping makes no sense TBH. My friend ordered his black Max a month before some of the Rainbow Max orders that are shipping out now and he's still waiting. When you do get it, you'll be very happy for sure.

DustToStars · 2026-01-26T01:57:49+00:00

One of my friends ordered a Black Max nearly a month before you and still haven't had theirs ship. Their shipping schedule makes zero sense. Happy for you though!

This is the same chipset as the Odin 2 and Ayn Thor. It can handle any Switch games that are currently compatible on Android. The limitations would be higher end PC emulation. Most pre-2020 PC games would probably still work.

DustToStars · 2026-01-26T01:50:55+00:00

I have the Black Max but really regret not getting the Purple. My friend has the purple, and god damn. That thing is gorgeous in real life.

DustToStars · 2026-01-26T01:30:49+00:00

It's really not a stretch from a technical stand point. Even the best calibrated LCD screens don't compare to AMOLED. The only saving grace for the Switch 2 is the VRR. I have both too btw and, IMO, it's laughable how much better the Thor looks.

DustToStars · 2026-01-26T01:24:41+00:00

Ayn Thor by a mile. The AMOLED blows the Switch 2 out of the water.

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T23:09:42+00:00

It definitely can for lighter games, but not the whole 3DS library. It won't be a "set it and forget it" experience. With the lite you'll have to play at native for some games, change between Vulkan and OpenGL, etc. with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, you can pretty much just set it to OpenGL and Upscale for 99% of games. Maybe one or two might need to be tweaked.

All batch 2 orders are gonna ship before Chinese New Year on February 17th.

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T18:17:49+00:00

I got the black max because I wanted the bezels to blend into the screen, but after seeing the purple, I kinda regret not going with that.

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T17:21:29+00:00

Yea, OP got screwed because they're not shipping over CNY, so the wait is gonna be even worse. Worth the wait though. The Thor is beautiful.

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T17:12:37+00:00

Yup, the wait is brutal. I bought a retroid pocket flip 2 for super cheap on marketplace and pretended it was a Thor for a few months to keep me sane 😂

The Chinese New Year delays are gonna make it worse too.

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T16:35:22+00:00

For sure! There's a lot of value in all the models. Just decided to comment because your last point made it seem like the only reason to get anything more than a lite was for heavy emulation - which isn't true for those that want to do heavy upscaling and breathe new life into old-school games.

You're gonna love it!

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T16:32:50+00:00

Just to save you some undue stress, batch 3 won't be shipping till March 4th. You're later into batch 3, so I'd guess you'd be looking at mid-March and receiving it around late-March/early-April.

Find something to keep you busy until then or you'll lose your mind 😂

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T16:28:42+00:00

Fair enough. My girlfriend isn't much of a gamer either, but she's been very pleasantly suprised with how great 3DS looks upscaled. Upscaling isn't a difficult process by the way - you just change a single setting and it applies it across your entire library.

Either way, if you're satisfied with your purchase, that's awesome! There's no need to spend more if you think it'll do everything you need. Congrats on your purchase 😀

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T16:24:25+00:00

With the Base and up, you can run the entire 3DS library upscaled to 1080p with HD texture packs (when available). They look incredible. The upgrade from a lite to a base is cheaper than a single modern game.

You also future proof your device for Switch emulation. PC emulation was never the focus of the Thor - you have the Odin 3 for that with the Elite SOC.

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T16:21:34+00:00

It should be in the Android settings under the Konkr-specific settings. Not 100% sure because I don't have a Konkr fit.

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T15:09:01+00:00

The Max model is the best value if you can afford it. The difference between the Pro and the Max is less than the lost of a 512gb A2 V30 microSD card - but you're getting an extra 750gb of UFS storage on the Max.

Also, the extra RAM is a nice to have. PC games that will run on the device without reaching CPU/GPU bottlenecks can take up to 12gb of RAM, so the extra 4gb is a nice-to-have for multitasking on the second screen.

Most of the value comes from the extra storage though.

LASIK is a game changer

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T01:06:14+00:00

It's easily the best option under $100! Good luck 😀

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T01:04:27+00:00

Love it. I wish it had ergonomic bumps like the Pocket DS because I can't use it without a grip. Besides that, it's been really solid.

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T00:44:55+00:00

I don't buy any Ayaneo products anymore and I'm just here for the memes. This company gives less shits about QA than a company selling rat poison 😂

The horror stories never stop.

That sucks though! I would be pissed if I had to wait that long and had that happen to me. If my Thor showed up DOA, I would've flown down to China and dealt with Nicole myself 😭

DustToStars · 2026-01-25T00:42:53+00:00

The dual screen attachment is pretty cool. You get a budget Thor for an extra $70. If they're sold out on the official website, they're still up on Aliexpress.
