Installing emulators is now stupid fast: Game Twin App Update

Hey everyone, sharing the latest update for Game Twin.

For anyone new to the app, it was built to maximize multitasking around games, specifically for multi-screen devices. Think of it like a save state for everything around your games (guides, achievements, manuals, images, YouTube links, etc.).

Here is what’s new in v0.8:

Reduce the emulator setup headache

Integrated a curated apps catalog sourced from RJNY’s great Obtainium Emulation Pack, so you can install all recommended emulators, frontends, and utilities without hunting them down across the web.

  • Direct Installs: Download and install apps directly inside the app. No external tools required unless you actually want to use them.
  • Bulk Options: Bulk download everything in one click, install them individually, or export an Obtainium import file for automatic updates.
  • Quick Setup Guide Search: Added quick search buttons for online and YouTube guides. On dual-screen devices, these open right on the second screen while configuring the emulator on the main one.

New launcher-style home screen

Added a new home screen layout specifically built for people who want a clean bottom screen layout optimized for heavy multitasking around games.

  • Smart Tracking: Automatically detects your last-played game from ES-DE, Cocoon, and RetroArch, alongside your Retro and Steam Achievements.

A few other cool features

Proper ASCII Guide Reader: Modern text readers completely break old-school GameFAQs text guides when you change the text size. The new reader preserves ASCII art formatting at any size.

Zero Storage Waste: Automatically detects existing scraped artwork and manuals already on your device, reusing them instead of duplicating files and wasting space.

It’s still in beta, but it feels a lot more polished now. It’s free, no ads and no account needed.

Let me know what you think if you give it a spin!

Best regards,

Mert

Thors in the wild?

I thought we could take a break from the typical thor arrived and spicy pillow posts and talk about something else. Has anyone seen another thor user in the wild? If so where? Did you talk to them? Personally my head has been on a swivel looking, but thus far in the northeastern united states ive seen nothing. I might be excited enough to run up to you put my hands on your shoulders and start jumping up and down. I guess this is also an apology in advanced.

Batch 6 UFS Storage Speed

Either they still had some of the faster storage left over, or the storage speed downgrade isn't as big of a deal as it was made out to be. I copied over a 16GB PC game in like under 5 minutes which feels crazy to me (especially since the game has mixed big files and small files, so sequential and random got pushed. And over MTP)

Never miss out on fun in the sun

I thought that one of these little phone/drinks umbrellas would be ridiculous but it perfectly covers the Thor when you need to use it by the pool or beach :D

Places to play.

Working through the Zelda franchise on the beach. What a time to be alive. Where are some random places you play at?

ebbene, chiesi il ricambio per il mio ayn thor pro, dopo che vidi che c'era una particella di polvere incastrata nel pannello.

inizialmemte non volevano inviarmi il ricambio, ma poi hanno ceduto.😅

quanto costerebbe un ricambio del genere??

Finished my Ice Blue Inspired Thor!

I really wanted an ice blue Retroid Pocket Flip 2, but with 2 screens, but liked the rainbow color the best with the Thor, so here's the combination!

Took a long time to get the buttons, and then the shoulders needed different magnets to get 100% of the trigger curve, so it took much longer than I thought!

Created the decal myself on a normal printer, and just fully recreated a design I saw.

I really don't recommend many people go as far as this in customizing, there is a lot of tinkering to get all the buttons working and feeling the same as from factory, and taking out the battery felt like I would tear the Thor in half!

Also the little rubber stopper at the top is just tall enough to hit the flat angle but push it a bit so the optical illusion of it being more than 180 is gone

All these Thor lids have been sent :)

( Sorry the images are rotated ) But all these have been sent out, and im posting these here as some people like to have ideas of what to get!

( Marked as marketing as i do sell these, but this also my way of showing the ones who have bought from me their ayn thor lids :) )

Most demanding game

As the title says, what is the most demanding game you've achieved to play on your ayn thor? And when I say achieve to play is to play smooth and without problems, not running a game at 3fps

FULLY TRANSPARENT BACK COVER

THIS IS SO FREAKING COOL (sorry im so excited, its AWESOME)

Update:

For those asking where: I still have to stress test the back cover (Which I'm doing now) in high demanding games for long play sessions, and potentially out in the sun.

When it passes these test, I will post a link!

(This is a private custom order I sent to have made for me by a company, so there really isn't a link currently)

Correct way to go about charging device?

Seen more and more spicy pillow posts on here so was just wondering what’s the correct way to go about charging the device?
