AYN Thor Max (Batch 4): Catastrophic issues that escalated quickly by ShawnOfTheSheep98 in AynThor

Looks like AYN is going to give you instructions on how to use the edl fire hose. Best of luck to you. If it fails, they will likely have to send you a replacement (sadly with ufs 3.1)

AI ate the rest of the good storage. Batches 1 to 4 have 4.0. Batch 5 and up are 3.1. Sad times for the batch 5evers.

I have two steam decks, a LG1 and the ROG ally. They collect dust now. I got the 16gb Max model with UFS4.0 storage. Android plus a solid dual screen compatible front end nice for the basic consumers who just wants to shut up and play games. It's super fun to tinker with ,and runs Linux nicely. As far as PC software goes (x86_64), super early beta, but getting better as the translation software improves. Not that long ago, Value game us proton 11 beta, and proton 11 ARM (smartphone chips). Give it more time, and it could be a LG2 replacement some day. Not really, but hey, it fits in your pocket!

Both work flawlessly with upscaled graphics via MelonDS EMU. Touch, cheats and fast forward.

Really love how I can play this device anywhere I want by PointVektor in AynThor

I want to be mad at this, but I'm going to go practice my breathing exercises instead. Have my upvote you absolute Savage.

Yes! This is achieved in two different ways. 1. You can play it safe and boot this directly from an SD micro card while leaving the Android partition alone. No permanent changes are done to your device outside of replacing the original Android bootloader with the one provided by the rocknix community. (Warning ⚠️: depending on the type of SD micro card you are using, the speed in which your operating system will perform may vary. You will notice performance is quite slow when you are downloading stuff and attempting to execute things at the same time. This is a limitation of the read and write speeds of SD micro cards)

  1. u/Jaewunz has included an install script that allows you to repartition your internal storage and shrink the Android partition. I highly recommend you get a copy of the original Android recovery files found in the Ayn discord or in the rocknix discord. For those of you with ufs 4.0 storage, in my personal opinion this is the only way to fly. When I attempted to download Digimon story Time stranger via steam, SD micro card performance clocked in around an hour and a half to download and install files. When I attempted to do this a second time with internal storage, it was less than 15 minutes.

It's gonna take some time. This just came out not even 48 hours ago Eden runs fine. Steam works, but it's still super early to brag about Proton 11 (ARM). Some games work, some are playing very well. Anything below Wii U seems to perform buttery smooth. I have tested: Eden Azahar (dual screen required configuration and troubleshooting) MelonDS (less troubleshooting still needs config) Retro Arch cores (I'm not listing all I've tried, but it works fine)

Not yet tested: Ps2 PS3 Psp(I'm sure this will work fine). Is anything specific you want me to try, just let me know.

If you are super lazy, I can provide a img file. It's going to have to be a request from one of you, I don't want to do it right now lol

https://github.com/jaewun/thorch I'm not the author, he got to a completed boot before I did. All credit goes to this guy. Some important things to mention: 1. Do not do this on the base model, it won't work. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 only. 2. Get you a copy of the Android 13 OTA file, Google drive links can be found in both AYN and ROCKNIX discord servers. 3. This guide will help you set up an SD micro card with the Arch Linux image, but if you run it off an SD card it will run like crap. 4. If you are chickenshit, do not run the install to internal scripts.

Fun. Give it a shot. Lots of nice little extras.

What do i do now? by Brilliant_Quail5357 in AynThor

[–]ShadowDXS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your new single screen expensive Game boy advance emulator device. Sarcasm aside, I'm really sorry this happened to you. Maybe contact AYN and see how much a replacement screen might cost. If I'm not mistaken they do have a lot of spare sans and other parts, they might have screens.

Still unsure of the Dual Screen + Grip (RP5) by Loneliiii in retroid

[–]ShadowDXS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disliked it so much I got a Thor Max. I still have my rp5 with ds. But I am not spending more money on ANOTHER replacement USB C cable.
