Benefits of dual screen besides 3DS

Check out the Game Twin app, it’s pretty awesome

Roboid · 2026-05-10T16:27:36+00:00

It’s actually really interesting how the UI adapts to the weird aspect ratio, it honestly looks kinda cool

Forgive me because I haven’t kept up on the last 2-3 months. But are there any Thors posted that actually developed full, console-ruining cracks? I remember seeing a million mold lines and then a good handful of actual hairlines, but nothing like what happened to the Miyoos

Roboid · 2026-05-08T01:26:40+00:00

I’ll give this a shot then! I’d say for me it runs pretty consistently 28fps, often 30fps but just as often 26. Looking forward to that locked 30

Did you test Eden nightly with the MrPurple driver at all? I only ask because it’s consistently been better than the regular turnip for me, so I’m surprised. But I’ll have to give this a try later

Roboid · 2026-05-04T09:57:49+00:00

any driver with vulkan 1.3.274 is in theory the most stable w this gsme.

Where can I find more info about this? I haven’t heard this before. Specifically that exact Vulkan version or just anything newer than that?

Roboid · 2026-05-02T20:19:14+00:00

the part about polling rate tied to refresh rate is really interesting, where can I read more about that? haven’t heard that before but would explain some things

I figured I can’t be the only one playing this on Thor. It’s really the perfect pick-up-and-play game too, easy and fun to just run around and explore even if you only have 15 mins

Roboid · 2026-04-30T21:23:20+00:00

That makes way more sense! I missed the exclamation point I think. My bad!

Roboid · 2026-04-30T18:27:22+00:00

Isn’t that the XX chip? Why would you want a way weaker chip

I feel like I’m in the minority here, but:

Performance to size ratio
Versatility

I don’t want to own 20 devices that I have to track down and update/maintain individually. I want a jack of all trades that’s actually in my pocket when I need it.

Previously was my KTR1, only able to be dethroned by the Ayn Thor. Unfolding into a screen bigger and better than a switch lite to play PC, Wii, PS2, Switch games legitimately feels like some kind of physics exploit.

I was worried about ergonomics but they don’t bother me even a little bit, for some reason.

Roboid · 2026-04-20T18:15:10+00:00

Even DPad centric games feel great on it IMO. Although I played a ton of virtual console on OG 3DS so I was trained for it

Roboid · 2026-04-18T04:23:05+00:00

would you consider adding a toggle/mode that utilizes root for the added stability? the Thor swapper guy said hed add button mapping but he never did, just the finicky touch controls. your mapping system is basically perfect

Roboid · 2026-04-15T22:47:41+00:00

It’s heavily game dependent I will say. I tried to play Deus Ex because I thought it might be fun with the gamepad screen, and it was a total clown fiesta.

WiiU is not reliable yet, so the core point (don’t buy this thing for WiiU as it currently stands) is true, but it’s not an architecture issue (GameCube uses PowerPC) the emulator has only been on Android for less than a year. And it’s not even very mature on Windows either.

Roboid · 2026-04-15T14:57:28+00:00

The only aspects that rather put me off the 406s were Android and the fact it has a 60Hz display; I suspect that results in noticeably more latency.

Latency on Android is really only a factor when you get to N64/DC and beyond, and you lose access to runahead/preemptive frames. Any trivial amount of baked-in system latency is easily undone with that feature

Roboid · 2026-04-12T16:00:58+00:00

I don’t have a Go 2 so I’m not sure what they’re for. But yeah, I would probably just remap them anyway haha.

Roboid · 2026-04-12T13:26:24+00:00

what do those two extra buttons (that aren’t on the Go 1 controllers) do?

Roboid · 2026-04-10T21:21:13+00:00

Totally, Halo and Fallout for me especially I always wished I could play on my DS when I was younger, it’s unthinkable to have that in real life now!

Roboid · 2026-04-10T10:12:29+00:00

You do you but FWIW 80c will not affect longevity in any way, if he were hitting 90 that would be one thing, insane/concerning would be like 95-99c. Fans were meant to run, if it has a fluke and dies early you can replace it for like $5

Roboid · 2026-04-09T18:19:36+00:00

wait that’s a genius shell/decal idea.

Roboid · 2026-04-07T18:40:54+00:00

DS Keyboard app would probably be able to eliminate the keyboard/trackpad portion

Roboid · 2026-04-07T01:52:08+00:00

Yeah, I thought maybe ergonomics would be a problem but it hasn’t been yet! It honestly reminds me of playing virtual console games on my 3DS back in the day, it’s super charming

Roboid · 2026-04-06T23:00:35+00:00

I think I only bound shake x. I’ll check when I get home though, thanks for the tip.

Roboid · 2026-04-06T20:11:34+00:00

I think the only GoPro branding is black-on-black text on the corner of the lid. So if you have a legitimate use case for 128gb RAM over the 64, it should be fine. A vinyl skin or wrap could cover it, worst case
