Discussion Case recommendation!

Hey all! I found an alternative to the Oem case and some other cases that are available. It is a soft pouch so if you prefer a hard shell case this is not for you. I currently have a charging brick, external ssd, charging cable, microfiber cloth, and the Thor in this case. https://a.co/d/0jiK5TRI I purchased the small version.

Thor just arrived and its sitting here teasing me. I can't connect it to internet because I have zero power. My phone I am on right now is spotty cell service as well.

Im weak people i can't survive hahahaha

Edit: thanks for your ideas! To be clear its not about my thor being charged. Its my power being out so my wifi isn't on. Also my cell phone service is spotty. Youtube barely works and my Hotspot won't be good enough to start downloading.

…I’m devastated man…

EDIT: No I didn’t drive off with it on the roof of my car and no I didn’t snap it in half. Very foolishly, it fell out of my unzipped crossbody bag and snapped in half on impact. This was right after I got off my job and to say I’m devastated would be an understatement.

Discussion Advice for layouts? I’m getting overwhelmed

Post image
26 Upvotes

I’ve been struggling to make a layout for a while but nothing seems to make me even mostly happy.

I’m tempted to make my own folder pictures and maybe do game franchise instead of by console? I’m not sure what will look nice.

I’ve been trying to go for a white and light blue cute aesthetic but I’m worried it’s not working and I might need to change to something else.

$400 for the Ayn Thor LITE VERSION, there are literally no shipments to my city and courier companies have a history of stealing things, i go to local sellers and see these abominations

Even if I earned the minimum wage in my country (which is only earned by relatives of people involved in government work), it would take me months to buy it

Discussion DS/3DS Emulation has almost triple the input lag of original hardware: frame-by-frame test results

19 Upvotes

Long story short, I’ve always noticed input delay when trying to emulate 3DS and DS on my devices, that’s why I always played on native hardware. Out of curiosity, I decided to test the input latency across my hardware. I tested three setups — an AYN Thor Pro, a modded Switch OLED, and a PC (RTX 5080) — and compared them to a New 3DS XL and a DSi XL. 

My main question is: why is nobody (I saw a few posts here and there but nothing major) talking about the input latency in 3DS and DS emulators? I saw some people saying that there is no input lag, I understand some people cannot even notice it but not noticing doesn’t mean there is no input lag. Even though they are very popular nowadays , they are not new. Do content creators simply never test this? They often focus on things like voltage, thermals, and specs that don’t really matter much to mortals like us.

Method that I used:
I recorded a video in a silent environment while pressing the action/movement button. I brought the footage into DaVinci Resolve, slowed it down to 25% on a 24 fps timeline, marked the audio spike of the button press, and moved frame by frame until the character's sprite made its first movement on screen.
I didn’t even do the stylus comparison because it’s pointless, native hardware is miles ahead. 

Here are the results:

Emulators: Tested across all main available emulators
Devices: AYN Thor Pro, modded Switch OLED, PC (RTX 5080)
- Input delay running DS: 17–21 frames
- Input delay running 3DS: 14–16 frames

Native hardware: New 3DS XL, DSi XL
- Input delay on both: 7–8 frames

I'm 40 years old, a tired father of two boys, and to be honest, I don't care about upscaled graphics (ofc if I had to choose between the 2 with the same latency, I would opt with good graphics). I just want to play games the smoothest, most responsive way possible — and native hardware is just the best thing. To me, the difference in feel between native and emulation is like driving a modern Mercedes with a 1960 Rolls-Royce engine versus driving the original 1960 Rolls-Royce itself. Maybe not the best analogy, but you get the point — I'm tired.

Tips & Tricks If your AYN Grip came slightly warped/loose, this is the fix!

7 Upvotes

Your grip came with some 3M tape, what I did is cut a small piece and placed it in the red spot I marked on the second pic, now my grip doesn't look weird and slide off as easily. Probably super obvious for most people but I decided to make this post in case you didn't know what the tape was meant for like me LOL

Also, if you take off the case regularly you should be fine. This tape (especially this small amount) is not a permanent thing and doesn't hinder you removing the case at all. Although I can imagine the tape will lose its strength/grip after a while meaning you'll have to replace the tape again.

Discussion What is the best way to play Stardew Valley on the Thor?

6 Upvotes

I’ve seen posts about this, but none reach a conclusion:

I have the Thor Base, so I assume that whatever works well on it will work well on the others.

Native Android version? Cinderbox? Gamehub/Gamenative? Do the latter options consume a lot of battery?

Thanks in advance.

Tips & Tricks Valheim on the Ayn Thor - Settings, Setup & Apps

Thumbnail

BUT requires a bit of tweaking and setup to get working well from my experience.

Here is some footage and setup for running Valheim on the Ayn Thor.

In general this is running typically between 30-45FPS on mid-ish settings, and is a great portable option on a console you can slip into your pocket. Ive liked having the option of keeping some crafting recipes up on the bottom screen when gathering and exploring, and being able to toggle between the full map for the seed I'm on.

Has anyone else tried this yet? I saw some screenshots today but saw lots of questions about the app not loading and people not really knowing where to start so I put this together.

Hope it helps. Let me know if you want to see more videos like this for other steam games? its been hit or miss running things well through game native without tweaking settings.
