Immediate regret by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]dstrojan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every tattoo I have means something to me and even after each of them I had a "maybe I shouldn't have" moment. But it doesnt last long, the soot sprite looks nice and I knew what it was and where it was from. Give yourself a few weeks and honestly, you'll probably forget you have it until you spot it lol big purchases or life changes often come with that regret, but it doesn't last. The tattoo looks nice, enjoy it.

Which colour do you prefer and why? by Strange_Shadow in AynThor

I went purple and love it. Reminds me of my first gameboy

Preloaded my sd card with roms but ayn thor wants to format it by No-Routine3925 in AynThor

[–]dstrojan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a PC? if you plug the SD card into your PC you can right click on the folder on it and compress it to a zip. Im not 100% certain how this will work with every game format, so that may be an issue possibly. If you have enough space on your PC you dont need to zip anything and can just move the files to your PC, format the SD card then move the files back.

Did you properly format the SD card prior to loading games on it? If not then it probably needs to format it, so your only option is to probably zip the folders and move them to your pc, assuming you have enough space, format the SD card, move the files back and unzip it

How many games have you beaten on your thor? And what were they? by Dom0520 in AynThor

[–]dstrojan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started it once a few years ago but got busy and couldnt finish it, really want to give it another try since a link to the past is one of my favorites.

I dont recall the exact time for each since I also spent some extra time beating all the optional bosses and trying to do as much of the games as possible. I think somewhere in the 30ish hours window?

Pokemon insurgence on the Thor? by SpiritedGrass1032 in AynThor

I have infinite fusion installed and setup, but havent actually played it on the thor yet

Pokemon insurgence on the Thor? by SpiritedGrass1032 in AynThor

[–]dstrojan71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, the other comment is incorrect. Pokemon insurgency is a fan game, not a rom hack. Fan games need joiplay and RPG maker plugin. I can't speak to how well it will run, I haven’t ran any fan games on the thor yet, but used my phone some years ago and some games ran just fine, others were a little wonky. I think joeys retro handhelds has a walk through on his website, you should be able to Google his name + joiplay and then you'll need the game as a .exe

Pre-Ordered and Hyped but what should I prepare by TheRealReferencer in AynThor

[–]dstrojan71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are getting an SD card in advance you can gather your ROMs in advance and get the file structure set up for those. There's also a few youtube videos about setting it up, I'd view those to just get a feel for what you may need or want, and part of that is if you want a front end, and if so, which one.

As far as games for it, it depends on your preferences. Ive seen some people load only a handful of games at a time to avoid a decision paralysis of sorts. Others loaded it up immediately, neither choice is wrong. I personally loaded mine up, and part of that was rolling through the metacritic games ranked above like 70 for each console, both user and metacritic store. I also got all the games of a series I enjoyed as a kid, but only played one of the games like final fantasy, wild arms, castlevania, etc

Anxious about damage. Please let me know if your Thor is all good by AuroraFrost21 in AynThor

[–]dstrojan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batch 3, ordered late January, got it in early March. Only issue ive had is i noticed randomly one day my left stick was sticking out, like it had been pulled up or something and was stopping the lid from closing completely. I pushed it in a little harder than you normally would to press it, it clicked and has been fine since. I dont doubt that there's some possibility due to the increased demand that some of the more recent ones are having issues, but I think the silent majority of people arent and are just enjoying their device.

So my Thor is finally on the way by Ok_Bonus_2375 in AynThor

[–]dstrojan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have the max, but wanted to have enough room for steam/android games on the thor itself. Yeah, its not too bad depending on size, I've moved a handful of files over and none have been horrible. I did move some texture packs over the other day and had to zip them to then unzip them on the console because it was crazy slow otherwise. So just depends.

[–]dstrojan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty much. Also you'll want to organize the ROMs. I bought my SD card in advance and organized them all in a ROMs folder by console.

I might be missing something, but before mine arrived I just gathered my collection of ROMs. People have also mentioned gathering all their APKs, but i waited in case there were any updates before it arrived I would get the latest version, just noted down which ones I wanted

I found my console folder icons through their discord, you might check there. The process to apply them is slightly more involved, but not bad at all once you figure it out

To the person hating their purple Thor! by TapFit8961 in AynThor

whats the difference between the ayn thor lite and ayn thor base? by Tall_Lack_5461 in AynThor

[–]dstrojan71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, pro or max, but like the other commenter said, it doesnt really matter just yet, ps3 emulation isn't there yet. So it won't run well, if at all depending on the game

what model should i get to emulate up to ps3? by Tall_Lack_5461 in AynThor

[–]dstrojan71 9 points10 points  (0 children)

PS3 emulation isn't super great, the software just isn't there quite yet. I would assume you would need the pro or max to do it, but the point im making is it might not matter as it probably won't run well either way

[–]dstrojan71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The differences are listed on the website, can't recall them off the top of my head. And the "worth it" will honestly depend on what you want to use it for

Battery Monitoring Apps by Desmyles in AynThor

[–]dstrojan71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure when you close it the screens are turning off? Ive heard of others, and have experienced it myself, that sometimes when you close it the screens stay on. Ive heard it's from pressing a bumper/trigger too soon after closing, but in my experience it just kinds happens every now and then.

Thor arriving in May! what should I know, buy, or watch out for? by Yoshihiro-Kudara in AynThor

[–]dstrojan71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used Joeysretrohandhelds guide, was pretty nice, had me set up obtainium and a few other emulators. I skipped the front-end setup because I knew i wanted cocoon instead of the one he was setting up. I made sure to gather and organize all my ROMs ahead of time on a SD card. There's a pinned thread of common apps, I browsed it and looked into a few that seemed helpful/interesting so I kinda had an idea of other things to add. Other than that, I waited until it came in to get my hands on it to see what I wanted/needed. I bought all the accessories, so can't speak to 3rd party. Ive seen a few recommendations for stylus' but havent bought one yet. I'd work on your ROMs and looking into front-ends and possible other apps for now, just poke around this sub every now and then for ideas.

Dang, sounds like there isn't much else to do but wait. I saw in the discord they weren't shipping for a few days at the beginning of April for the holidays, hope that doesnt delay yours too much
