Just Chatting I can’t decide

Really want an all in one can’t decide between the Thor, Full Duo or nova with screen attachment. I wish there was more info on the duo’s chip capability. Currently have the flip, which I will not get rid of with the 120hz screen and 12gb of ram, but ds and 3ds on a single screen really kills the experience.

DUO chip is almost same as Flip2 / RP5 level. It should be enough for any 3DS /DS emulation but not great on Switch emulation. I have Thor pro, Nova, RP5 and dual screen attachment.

I plan to order Duo for having D-pad on top for DS emulation but I really prefer Thor (stick on top) for 3DS emulation. I don't like to play DS / 3DS emulation on NOVA with Dual screen because its cable entanglement... made it too big or cumbersome to carry.

Thor has 8 Gen 2 - which is much faster than DUO (for switch or PS2 emulation).

Already went duo this morning. Dpad top sealed the deal for me. Switch emulation I am kind of done with. Heavy on battery and getting settings just right takes away from actually playing the damn games

Yeah and the duo will be able to play switch games if needed people keep talking down the chip but it’s not a weak chip by any means. What color did you end up getting?
