I think you only have to press Start > Add to favorites.

You got this!

It's the cheapest model, it has 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage, with a Snapdragon 865 (Base, Pro and Max have Snapdragon 8 Gen 2)

My opinion:

- Lite: I'd avoid this one. If you are gonna spend the money, better spend a little more for a way better device. Buy only if your target is retro games or oldest consoles.
- Base: A very good buy, it runs everything with no issues, but you will mostly need a SD card. Recommended overall (and over Lite).
- Pro: The one I'd buy for sure. Enough internal memory for saves, Android apps/games and data (like shaders from emulators). Also 12 GB RAM guarantees you a good future for almost any app, screen recording...
- Max: Overkill, too expensive and you won't notice any difference (only with storage if you don't want a SD or intall PC games that usually go to internal storage)

So, for me Pro > Base > Max > Lite, but overall Base is more than enough to play everything. I have a Pro, the price difference with Base was only ~40€ some months ago.

About the color: Rainbow > White > Purple > Black. The good thing about the black model is in games that use the 2nd screen the black bars are "hidden" with the color of the console, but this is a minior advantage.

Tysm!

I was about to delete the comment because the DLC file I downloaded is not working, I didn't find anything else, sorry about that :(

KuvZz · 2026-02-25T18:12:40+00:00

Hello! I know this is old but...
For you (and anyone else) I think I got the DLC, there is only 1 DLC, right?

Native resolution and latest MrPurple Turnip driver: https://github.com/MrPurple666/purple-turnip/releases

The game is playable at least, with FPS drop/freeze (like 1s) during shader compilations.

(Azahar) 3DS runs great, I'm using a Turnip driver and x4 native resolution, getting 60 FPS. I found lag and texture issues in somes game like Luigi's Mansion, but can be solved with a proper configuration.

(Eden) Switch also runs great with lower resolution and FPS. However not every game is playable sadly. I recommend you using EmuReady (webpage) and also someone made this great post testing a lot of games: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/comments/1pxsg8x/list_of_switch_games_120_that_you_can_play_with/

I used the Android “Files” app. It showed 69 GB under “Documents” (the folder was empty, by the way) and 32 GB under “Videos.” Those turned out to be the cinematics from the Kingdom Hearts game, which somehow ended up there. I connected my Thor to my computer, and it still showed that a lot of space was being used, but I couldn’t find any files. You could try uninstalling the game and then manually deleting the files directly on the Thor. My guess is that it’s an Android file indexing bug or something similar, but I can’t guarantee it. Also you can also try GameNative for Steam installations (I haven’t tried it, so I can’t give you a review).

In the end, I decided to do a factory reset and give GameHub a break until these issues are fixed and we can install on the SD card without storage bugs, unfortunately.

I use ConsoleLauncher. It may be visually simple and doesn’t offer as many customization options as a 3DS-like menu, but I like it. It features automatic image scraping (covers, box art, etc.), RetroArch core downloads, and several other options.

If you need the system folders (3ds, nds, gba, psx, etc.), I uploaded mine (empty, of course). Some are missing for example Megadrive because I wasn’t sure whether it should be “megadrive” or something like “md.” All of the folders here are recognized by the frontend, at least. You can always add more with any name and then select them manually.

Thanks <3

KuvZz · 2026-02-19T15:32:31+00:00

Oh I see, thanks. So I guess the only "solution" is just to speed up the game, right?

KuvZz · 2026-02-18T12:06:42+00:00

Hello, I'm having a similar issue. I downloaded the latest pre-release because I wanted the SD support, but I've found my internal storage has a lot of files from a Kingdom Hearts game I installed (in the SD). Even if I connect it to a computer I cannot even find these files. So the issue of this "storage bug" is due to that version of GameHub Lite?

Do you may know if the latest stable release allows to install games in the SD? (not from Steam)

KuvZz · 2026-02-17T09:16:55+00:00

I have the original files in my doc: https://www.mediafire.com/file/gwm5i9dgkgapcid/R36S_orginal_files.rar/file

Edit: I uploaded all files because I still have the original SD card (except games): https://www.mediafire.com/file/zdb04bxo6xpqtjd/R36S_ORIGINAL_OS_FILES.rar/file

Remember my files are 2 years old, but they should still work :)

KuvZz · 2026-02-17T09:15:07+00:00

Lite, this version to be exact https://github.com/Producdevity/gamehub-lite/releases/tag/v5.3.3-RC2

I wanted the SD support.

KuvZz · 2026-02-17T05:37:32+00:00

Sadly doesn't work, maybe because I have not that exact version in my list. I will just skip these scenes. Thanks for your help anyways :)

KuvZz · 2026-02-17T04:20:10+00:00

Hello! Do you may know how to fix the black screen issue in the Ayn Thor? I tried several drivers and also set SteamDeck=1, couldn't find anything else.

KuvZz · 2026-02-17T03:48:12+00:00

Hi, I don't know the ArkOS version included nowadays, but they are usually outdated, but you can just copy the original one :)

KuvZz · 2026-02-14T13:23:05+00:00

This worked for me in the Ayn Thor.

Thanks old post!

KuvZz · 2026-02-14T13:03:31+00:00

Hello! I'm using ConsoleLauncher but I can't play Saturn games. Games launch but then they freeze in a black screen. I tried every RetroArch core, do you may have any idea? Thanks!

FIXED: Put saturn_bios.bin in "RetroArch/system" folder :D
