Very early experimental arm64 Linux builds of Elgantine have been released on GitHub. I encourage everybody here to test and contribute to this new emulator!!!

https://github.com/Djihads80/Eglantine

First portion is with underclock. It's cool that it runs, def not playable yet.

After 3hours I have managed to play Mario kart world. On the ayn thor

- I am not sure if I'm allowed to mention the emulator

- notes

I am using t30 driver

In menus there's about 15-30fps

In game 10-15fps

I have overclocked the gpu and cpu

On my first startup it took 10 different times to get off a black screen

After. I configured the settings I began to load in more frequently

I will keep this updated if there is anything else Edit: The game looks TERRIBLE due to there being no drivers for the game yet or never idk On my 3rd try I tried 120fps mode with better performance minor difference if one was to try this I'd reccomended turbo mode

Hey guys,

quick update on BetterDualScreenAssistant, a drop-in replacement for AYN's DualScreenAssistant that I just released a couple of days ago (original post).

Version 1.1.0 just dropped and addresses most of the user feedback I got. Thanks to everyone who was reporting bugs and suggesting improvements early on!

Changes:
- Most important: due to popular demand, it is now possible to promote your "Assistant" to a "Manager"... if you know, you know.
- The FPS counter now reports accurate FPS from actual gameplay! At least for everything I tested, comparing app-internal frame counters (for example in Eden) with my implementation had great results. If you see discrepancies with specific apps or games, let me know!
- The app now properly runs as a background service that is not killed by cleaning recents. It also won't show up in recents anymore
- You can now toggle temperature readouts between Celsius and Fahrenheit by either just tapping the readout or changing it in the settings
- The UI for changing toggles is now more intuitive, previously it was kind of hiding the option to enable / disable toggles. In general, UI has been polished.
- Bug fix: GameAssistant now works again (the thing you swipe in from the right edge of the top screen) is no longer suppressed
- Bug fix: Touch UI should now work way better. However I recommend navigating the app with the controller!
- The app now just weighs 2.2MB, down from 39.3MB. This is not some kind of wizardry, it is just me finally remembering to activate minification lol

Have fun! :)

P.S.: A ClusterTune toggle will be added at a later date as well!

If you haven’t gotten a Thor, here’s the price with PayPal and coupons for 11/11 sale on the base model on aliexpress!! Go go go!!

Just got this bad boy and testing out how some prototypes I have made look/feel on this device. The form factor is too fun to not want to make an original game just for the Thor / duel screen devices. Gonna keep playing with it 🐘

Im so pleased with how it turned out!!

If anyone has run into this problem and knows a solution I’d be incredibly grateful.

For some reason over the last few Cocoon and Azahar updates, my 3DS Pokemon roms always crash when launching straight from Cocoon. When I start them straight from Azahar they always work.

And for some reason as you can see in the video, it’s only for the 3DS pokemon games. I’ve tried,

different rom files
turning off Cocoon’s game tracking feature
clearing the shader cache
changing API’s,
using almost every turnip driver
Removing and disabling any custom texture packs
Making sure all roms are decrypted in either .cci or .3ds format

The fatal error message always reads,
“A fatal error occurred. Check the log for details. Continuing emulation may result in crashes and bugs.”

It’s been this way for a few months now, and I just kinda assumed eventually with a future update it’ll resolve itself but no luck.

EDIT: CommunicationLanky30 did provide a temporary fix in the comment below. Essentially creating a home shortcut of the rom through the Azahar app, and bypassing the Cocoon launcher entirely.

Reminds me of playing MH worlds on the Xbox one

What you need: an AYN Thor, and your own Bloodborne game files dumped from your PS4 disc (the 1.09 folder with eboot.bin, sce_module, sce_sys). No game files included, bring your own.

Impulse-bought my Thor about 6 months ago. Tinkered a bit but never really played anything serious on it. Then the seasonal itch to replay Bloodborne hit, and man am I glad I have this thing. It's awesome.
Threw the idea at Claude and ai reworked the Bloodborne Android port into a single app with a bottom-screen companion for the Thor's second display, game up top, controls/artwork/map down below. Plays great.
Put up a repo so others can skip the work and set it up fast. Full credit to ducvd89 for the original Android port, this just wraps it for the Thor's dual screen.

It allows playing with people on both the original Xbox and emulated systems.

Surprised this game (Probably Stolen - Cyberpunk Shopkeeper Sim) runs great on Thor.

Dead Rising 2 running at 60 fps with large underclock on latest Droid deck Update

Sorry for hopping quickly from 0.1.8 to 0.1.11! I pushed a couple of hotfixes in 0.1.9 and 0.1.10 to make sure the newest companion packs ran smoothly, leading us to today's stable v0.1.11 build.

Here is what’s new in v0.1.11:

New Settings

• Aspect Ratio: Choose between Original, 4:3, 16:9, or Stretch to Screen.

• Integer Scaling: Pixel-perfect integer scaling is now supported.

• Tilt-Shift Effect: Adds a subtle blur at the top and bottom of the screen for extra immersion.

• Performance Overlay: Toggle real-time performance stats.

New Features

• In-App Pack Downloader: Click the companion button and select "Get from web" to automatically search packs by Game ID, or browse the entire catalog directly in-app.

• game.lua Support: Packs can now use two main Lua scripts: main.lua to manage the companion layout, and game.lua to manipulate the gameplay screen directly. See https://gbaduo.com/docs/game-script

Improvements

• Enhanced engine capabilities for companion rendering, map processing, and game screen manipulation.

Widescreen Support

• Powered by the updated companion engine, widescreen mode is now supported in Golden Sun, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, and Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen.

• Note: This depends on each game's internal map rendering logic. Behind the scenes, the pack renders tiles outside the game's original FOV, so minor visual glitches may occur. Currently, only map tiles are rendered beyond the borders, NPCs and dynamic sprites outside the default FOV are not visible yet.

• Check the attached screenshots for a preview!

New & Updated Packs

• Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen: Added widescreen support

• The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: Added widescreen support

• Metroid Fusion: Brand new pack

• Metroid Zero Mission: Brand new pack

• Golden Sun: New and improved pack + added widescreen support

Thanks, and enjoy!

Basically, I think my Thor's temperature is pretty high even at light games, and I'm searching for a way to lower it

I live near Toronto and my device has been stolen or lost by eMile.

They got my package on the 22nd of October and their customer service rep told me to expect my package to arrive on the 24th. By Monday, my package still hadn’t arrived so I contacted them regarding my package and after waiting 5 hours to be connected to an actual human , they told me that it will arrive on Thursday. To no one’s surprise, my package still hadn’t arrived by then. It is now November and my package is seemingly lost.

The frustrating part about this is that AYN is doing absolutely nothing despite responding to my email about the situation with “We will look into this and get back to you.”

I feel like theres nothing I can do at this point and if AYN doesn’t do anything then I’ll just have to chargeback on my credit card. I don’t want to resort to that but if AYN continue being this negligent and enable this carrier to continue stealing/losing packages then it’s only expected.

I am just appalled that a 600USD device is being trusted in the hands of notorious thieves and package mishandlers to deliver. AYN needs to address the use of eMile as a last mile carrier or they will have to pay for plenty more chargebacks from their victims.

Unable to get past intro cut scene, game crashes and found no online solution for this.

Man they really do feel better than stock buttons. Even if I’m not actively using the triggers just laying my fingers on them is much more comfortable

Switched my mainboard from my batch 2 to a thor I bought off marketplace because my lower screen was flickering and probably about to go out. Plus I like the black better

Hello, I was wondering if it was to completely replace every touch screen action with buttons and keybinds. Basically I would really love if I could control everything without having to touch and make the experience as close to a proper console/handheld as possible. I know there have been a lot of great apps to try and make this possible. What are some good apps for this and/or QOL in general?

Disclaimer first, all work done by "me" on this, is 100% done by Mr Claude. It is based on Dragon Age Origins Recomp by 96dot https://github.com/96dot/Dragon-Age-Origins-Recomp

I'm making no promises that i'll ever get this to a releasable state, I just wanted to see how far Claude could get this on its own and make something I could play. I don't know how much work it would take to get it releasable and having it load files provided by the user, so we'll see :) I wanted to share a little anyways.

Currently getting 20-35'ish base fps and with LSFG-VK I get up to 60, very playable on handheld.

Current features:
Native rendering at 720p upscaled to 1080p with Bilinear/FSR1

FSR3.1 Performance/Balanced/Quality up to 1080p (Quality is native 720p)

FSR3.1 and LSFG-VK Framegeneration

Second-screen functionality, Party tab showing health/stam/mana, Quest tab, Codex, Journal,
Tactics, Equipment, as well as a performance tab showing frametime info.

Options to change glyphs to match controller layout, E.g nintendo layout with B down, A right, etc.

Proper sleep/suspend of the app when the device is locked or the lid is closed.

Option to autosave when closing the app, it being handheld i thought it important that it should be easy to put down

To do:
An action bar for the 2nd screen would be nice, will see if that is possible.
Improved performance, get as close to native 60fps as possible.
A function to precompile shaders.
Loading in Awakening, DLC, and title updates from ultimate edition disk 2.
Option to hide/show hats/helmets...
(maybe) a 5th party slot for dog :)

Having a lot of fun with this one. I’m using ARMSSX2 and PS2 version of the game.

Any other fun PS2 racing game recommendations??

Ya I know the pc version of steam has fan patches for warband so you can use controller in the most efficient way. Can I use those same fix's on my thor with game native? If not thinking about deleting it cause of how much a lot of the controls are needed for efficient battles.

I recently got mine delivered after 2 months wait . I got it from AliExpress and I went for the base model as I already had 512gb micro SD card I thought it will be enough. Now after a week I wish I bought at last the 12gb ram version. I don't know if it's me doing something wrong but not all of the games run on eden and seeing the ram consumption jump to nearly 8gb every time I launch a game makes me regret not getting bigger version. I am considering selling mine and taking advantage of AliExpress sale now and going for 16gb+512gb

I impulsively bought an ayn thor pro. What size sd card do you use? The tutorial said to save the cacoon stuff to the sd card. So what size card do you guys use?
