Is it too late for a Thor?

Hi everyone! Retroid Pocket 5 & Flip 2 owner here.

Im really wanting that dual screen experience and a stronger chipset. But i have the irrational fear that if I buy a Thor now it will be obsolete soon. What do you guys think? I know their are rumors of a retroid dual screen handheld, and new the snapdragon 8 gen 2 is no longer the most powerful chip we see in handhelds. Should i just send it and get the Thor?

Also would you recommend the pro or the max model? Is 16gb of ram over the top, or does it help push it to be a more end game handheld?

Finally 100% my favorite game of all time with my AYN Thor. (With my childhood save file attached)

Man this game is such a blast. I don’t know what to do now with myself. Such a fun time killer.

Maybe I’ll get into Kirby? Any recs for a game that has fun retro achievements would be awesome! Love my integration to RA.

While helping someone troubleshoot, I found out their idea can be reality

Was talking with someone about how they wanted to play dual screen games but they also wanted to see pixel guide without closing the game. I've messed with freeform windows on Thor before but never this deep. Amazing.... Triple screen on a single handheld... This thing is worth every penny!

Dev options and 2nd picture are the toggles to enable, enjoy!! 😁

Edit: as I think more about it, non dual screen users can have dual screen if they want. Pretty damn cool

Dropped My Thor

Ngl it doesn’t really bother me as it’s just cosmetic damage. Some wear and tear to give it life, but I’m making this post for two reasons.

  1. Don’t be an idiot and keep your Thor in a small ass pocket on your scrub top and then bend over to pick up your keys otherwise it’ll fall out. Additionally, invest in the case and actually use it. Keep it in the case whenever you’re going somewhere. I have one, but I stopped using it because I thought it was pointless. Lesson learned I guess

  2. I wanna see how y’all edit that one meme. You know the one I’m talking about 🗿

Coolest encounter

I was driving at a red light guy behind me sitting in passenger seat was playing an ayn thor and I always have my DS lite on me. So I honked the horn and stuck my DS lite out the window! Haha both started laughing. Super cool how gaming devices and video games and all that stuff can really bring people together❤️

One of the hardest front ends

I was on TikTok when I came across this beautiful front end, it’s still work in progress, you can find it by searching @depmots on TikTok or google. Not free to use but probably be buying it since i think its very creative and clean

Edit: there you guys have the original link since its not mines, https://depmots.com/socket

Pokémon Scarlet FPS advice for AYN Thor Max?

Using version 4.0.0, firmware 22.5.0, updated to prod keys 22.5.0 (after recording this lol, didn’t change anything), I’ve tried like 4 or 5 different drivers and they all have the same result, any thoughts?

Facebook market place sellers have lost their mind

I periodically go on marketplace to just look at thor stuff and I'm always astonished at the prices these people are charging and the thing is they sell too 😑

Guys I finally got one!!!

Hello guys, I just wanted to celebrate with all of you!!

After this journey with so many challenges, like getting scammed, almost buying one but then failing and much more. I finally got a Thor Max Batch 2, from eBay for a really good price!!

It's an amazing device!!

Thanks alot!!

This just come out, has anyone tried it on the Thor yet ?

I have a couple questions:

Does it work on the android version of the Thor ? Page says it's ONLY for android 10 and above, so i assume not.

Also, is this the exact same version we have on PC/switch ?

Thanks in advance.

Stardew Valley Dual Screen Mod Release

My Stardew Valley Dual Screen mod is officially live! For a full breakdown of the features, setup instructions, and other information, check out the README on GitHub.

To get started, download and install the APK, then open it on the bottom screen. Launch Stardew Valley through Cinderbox, GameHub, GameNative, or whatever you normally use to run the game on the top screen. As soon as you load into your save file, the mod will automatically start displaying everything on the bottom screen.

If you run into any bugs or issues, please create an issue on the repository so I can look into it. More updates and improvements are coming, but until then, enjoy the mod!

Complete Games as Favorites

Using Cocoon FE and figured all of my favorite games, and the games im playing, are all already on the home screen so I started using the favorites folder to mark games I have finished and rolled credits on. Im hoping to see some other peoples lists of games they have finished so far, it gives me ideas of what to install and play. So far ive finished all 3 Bioshock games (and burial at sea), New Super Mario Bros 2, Super Mario Wonder, & Portal 1.

iiSU vs Cocoon— what’s the consensus in August 2026?

I’m finally thinking about making the switch away from ES-DE on my AYN Thor and am trying to decide between Cocoon and iiSU.

For those who have used both recently, which one are you sticking with in August 2026, and why?

I know this has been asked a bunch of times, but both launchers have had some pretty significant updates lately, so I’m curious where things stand now. iiSU in particular seems to have come a long way, including custom collections and improved performance/responsiveness.

The things I care about most are:

- Minimal battery drain, especially when sitting idle/standby

- Smooth, snappy performance

- Stability/reliability — I don't want to constantly troubleshoot the launcher

- Custom collections are a must — I want to be able to make collections containing games from multiple different systems/emulators (Mario, Pokémon, favourites, etc.)

- Good overall experience on the AYN Thor / dual-screen setup

- Reasonably easy customization without having to constantly rebuild everything after updates

I've been using ES-DE for a while and really like it, but I'm starting to get frustrated with some of its quirks on the Thor and am ready to try something else.

For people who have actually used both Cocoon and iiSU on the Thor, which would you recommend right now?

Also interested in hearing specifically about battery/standby drain and performance, since those are probably more important to me than having the prettiest UI.

Cocoon or iiSU — and what ultimately made you choose one over the other?

Building Cocoon: An Interview with the Development Team

Here's the latest in my super long running series of developer interviews, this time with the team behind Cocoon, the Android frontend.

I find their devs especially interesting because the trio have such distinct roles: development, UI/UX design and sound. I was so fascinated to learn early that they've even commissioned musicians and instruments specifically for Cocoon's menu music. I mean, everything else as well, but that was taking things to the next level for me.

Anyway, it's a super long and super detailed interview, so if you're interested in Cocoon or software development, UI/UX, sound design, dual-screen handhelds, their history and how Cocoon is made, or just getting a behind-the-scenes look at how projects like this are done, there's a lot to dig into here.

Hope some here enjoy it :)

Stardew Valley Dual Screen Mod

This is a dual screen Stardew Valley mod I put together. It moves the main HUD off the top screen entirely and keeps everything on the bottom display, leaving the game itself clean and unobstructed.

The bottom screen gives you an interactive hotbar and backpack, along with the current day, time, season, and gold. You can also check which machines on your farm are ready, view your journal, see which animals still need to be petted, track Community Center bundles, and more.

The idea is to make the second screen actually useful while keeping all of Stardew Valley’s important information and controls in one place without covering the main gameplay screen.
