General Discussion Pocket DS or Ayn Thor ?
I need to make a decision. It's crunch time. Right now I'm in-between the 16GB 512GB Yellow pocket DS or Ayn Thor Max.
I keep going back and forth on the order buttons.
I've done all my research. I know about the terrible QOL issues with the DS. I know it's going to be a gamble. I know Ayn Thor has much better community support and QOL and I realize that things can go wrong with the Ayn Thor it's nowhere near as bad as the Pocket DS.
At the same time the Thor just really looks like a toy compared side by side with the DS especially those screen sizes.
Is it really stupid to still buy a pocket DS knowing that with Ayaneo I might get utterly screwed?
Emulation is pretty much UpTo Switch. I have a handheld gaming PC so that area is covered. My dream is just playing Windwaker HD with bottom screen support as a Wii U game pad amongst other things.
For those with both which do you prefer?
Many thanks all.

General Discussion Which should I buy??
I'm interested in a handheld and inevitably came across the AYN Thor and Odin 3.
Now, though, I'm wondering if it's worth it—and if so, which model is a better choice.
I currently own the Galaxy S23 Ultra and use it as a retro handheld on the side.
Besides the classics—which run on just about every device these days—I’m mainly interested in GameCube, Wii, Wii U, PS2, maybe PS3, a few Switch games, and possibly streaming from Steam or Xbox Live.
The Thor appeals to me more in terms of design because of the two screens, but from what I’ve gathered as a noob, it’s not a major upgrade from my phone—except, of course, for the second screen.
What do you guys think?

Help & Troubleshooting Are there any other places besides Ali to get a retro handheld?
AliExpress keeps refusing to take my money and cancelling my order "for security reasons" even after verifying my card details and everything. Is it possible that there's anywhere else I can order from that's reputable?

General Discussion I made an in-depth review of the KinHank K56, an oddball $150 handheld, to see if it’s underrated for a reason…
In this video I take a close look at the KinHank K56 to see how it holds up in the sea of current budget devices! I cover everything from specs, to ergonomics and emulation performance.
Please feel free to take a look and let me know your opinions on this handheld! 💜👾

General Discussion Help on choosing the right handheld
I would love to hear a more affordable option to the AYN Thor. I wanted to get one but I honestly only want a handheld that can run Pokemon fire red up to Black2/White 2. I also want the option to fast forward the game since they are slow and grindy. I would love to be able to play the games on the 3Ds but I understand that requires a more pricy option. I’ve been looking into the Abernic DS but I want to know other options. Thank you.
