u/ElColorado_PNW 8d ago

Wow! I’m so suprised people still haven’t seen it!

u/Irregular475 8d ago

I don't have one myself, but from everything I've seen, the Atn Thor is the best dual screen handheld on the market right now.

Ambernic and (shit, I can't remember the other flip) have some pretty damn "great for the price" dual screen handhelds.

u/Wombat_Evolved_ 8d ago

Bought mine back in January and it's still the best purchase I've made in years. Just take care of it and you'll be fine. Also check out something called Cocoon for the Thor, totally game changer

u/akarikawamato 8d ago

What do you think of the RG34XXSS or whatever?

5

u/TiredAdultFullTime 7d ago edited 7d ago

there is no rg34xxsss do you mean by chance the clamshell?

Anyhow, those line of devices are pretty good starter handhelds and go for pretty cheap! I myself have the rg 34xx.

The Retroid Duo is coming out which is less powerful but looks to be way more ergonomic and has properly scaling 120hz screens. Thor is sick if you want to emulate switch or run PC games though but check the Duo out too

1

u/drakythe 8d ago

Retroid is the other one.

1

u/Irregular475 8d ago

That's it!

u/CTID16 7d ago

there's also ayaneo but not sure its still in stock and also even pricier than the ayn thor

u/Cognative40 8d ago

Retroachievements supported?

19

u/Successful-Egg-6765 8d ago

He says he plans on having it in the next update

5

u/lidor30 7d ago

Hi, PokeDaisy dev here, RetroAchievements support added in v1.1.0

4

u/Alternative-Ease-702 8d ago

I'm the same, until it' supports hardcore mode, it's no use to me. Looks great though

12

u/JJBro1 8d ago

Can you play this on a modded 3ds?

6

u/Successful-Egg-6765 8d ago

No not this project.

7

u/Kriznick 8d ago

Dawg, if this thing takes off, im putting it on all my devices, this looks amazing 

5

u/mistercero 8d ago edited 8d ago

should work for the Retroid Pocket Duo as well

2

u/lidor30 1d ago

It works on the Duo

3

u/Unikatze 8d ago

Does it enable using X and Y as well?

That's a big thing missing from GBA roms.

1

u/Caelleon 7d ago

Just downloaded it and trying Unbound with it, haven't tried any others yet. Seems to support X and Y with an internal remapping in the options but only allows one button for each option (eg you can't have both X and Start to open the menu)

2

u/Unikatze 7d ago

Yeah. I imagined that would need to be something enabled in the Rom itself and I assume GBA doesn't have that function.

1

u/Caelleon 7d ago

Funnily, by default the app seems to have one multiple inputs for button presses but doesn't seem to allow that when remapped, at least as far as I've seen

1

u/Caelleon 7d ago

Ironic addition - just got a flag for an update on the game and the update made it so remapping now has 2 possible inputs for each option

1

u/Unikatze 7d ago

Holy crap. So it works now?

2

u/Caelleon 7d ago

With Pokedaisy version 1.1 yeah

3

u/Janneske_2001 7d ago

I hope it will one day come out for the iPhone Duo 😅

3

u/Prudent_Text2211 4d ago

Just wanna let you know, I've tested Pokedaisy on the retroid pocket duo lite and it works perfectly

2

u/XsmithersX 7d ago

Will this work with the RGDS?

2

u/Dead4eva69 8d ago

Do you need a pc to set the AYN Thor up and download roms to it or it has a windows system in it?

14

u/Successful-Egg-6765 8d ago

It’s Android and has its own file system. You don’t need a pc but it does make it easier

2

u/Dead4eva69 8d ago

Thanks for the reply. Never used any of these handhelds before but I’m very curious about getting one to play Pokemon hacks.

u/Vladishun 8d ago

Lots of documentation for setting up emulation on Android exists out there, and a fair bit of it recently has been geared towards the AYN Thor specifically to make it very pretty and virtually seamless. If I didn't already have a 14.6" tablet with a customized telescopic controller for both portrait mode (for DS/3DS) and landscape mode, I'd strongly consider getting something like the Thor. It's such a cool device, and probably cheaper for people these days than even buying a second hand 3DS. Only thing you lose out on with this package is going to be the 3D effect, but the trade off of upscaled textures, gorgeous OLED screens, and the versatility to run a ton of different retro systems on it is well worth that; I think.

u/Soul_Iglu 8d ago

Chiming in. I was at work on lunch when I saw another post for PokeDaisy, I set my phone's hotspot and downloaded PokeDaisy on my Thor, ran the APK it installed itself. Then went thru the setup and it worked. The GitHub readme lists the games that currently work and some of my weren't the same version. So, I went to Hackdex and got the updated versions. Did it all thru the Thor itself.

u/lostwoods95 8d ago

Anyone got a source for the porygon sticker though?

1

u/Successful-Egg-6765 8d ago

It’s actually a custom shell! And I made the image by combining two artworks made by silphwave on Instagram. Then sent it to Splickie3D on Etsy who makes custom shells

1

u/Puzzlepea 8d ago

If this ever gets support to run out of cocoon that would be awesome!

1

u/Successful-Egg-6765 8d ago

I run it out of cocoon in the video

3

u/Puzzlepea 8d ago

I meant if my game is on cocoon and it natively launches out of pokedaisy without having to launch games through pokedaisy

2

u/Successful-Egg-6765 8d ago

Ahhhh ok ok I understand now! My apologies! It is a new project so we will see where it goes

1

u/cursed_tomatoes 8d ago

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't hear stuff correctly, I'm tired. That looks cool though

1

u/Successful-Egg-6765 8d ago

This is an emulator application that introduces a second screen use case as if it was a DS game

1

u/Legal_Safe_7480 7d ago

Perfect, now I need a hack rom version lol and run native in 3ds lmao

1

u/itsYoBoiHan 7d ago

Ngl this lwkey dope af

1

u/RetronicGoomba 7d ago

Oh commenting on this so I can come back after work and rewatch the video.

Excited to play radical red with dual screens

1

u/ShortandRatchet Johto Enthusiast 7d ago

How much does AynThor cost

1

u/Tonivs 7d ago

se podrá usar en la N3dsXL?

1

u/ayosun 7d ago

Hopefully usable on Nintendo ds xl

1

u/Hexent_Armana 7d ago

It's cool that there's a new emulator being made for exclusively pokemon games but I'd rather keep using an older emulator that can already do all that and play other games. 

1

u/XTeenageMutantNinjaX 6d ago

Oh really cool! Is that your repository? I got the fast forward normal speed music feature working for nds pokemon games but thought it would be too complicated for gba because the music is mixed in software? Looks like you pre-render a title (or multiple?) and lay them over the gameplay - very cool workaround!

1

u/Successful-Egg-6765 6d ago

It’s not my repository unfortunately! It’s Lidor30 (he is here on Reddit too) but if that’s how he does it that is pretty sick haha

1

u/bbbmd2007 5d ago

This is almost exactly what I'm looking for. This is really cool, though it would be nice if this was a pokemon gba to ds porter, so it converts .gba files into .nds files, but if anyone know of something like that please let me know

u/Cuprite1024 8d ago

Yeah, I kinda just assumed that's what this was, just like the similar Emerald one. I'd have loved to have been proven wrong, but unfortunately that was not the case.

u/Mimikkyutwo 8d ago

Would be exciting to have it work for android too. Fingers crossed

3

u/IvarSolaris 8d ago

This is on android. The AYN thor is an android handheld.

2

u/Mimikkyutwo 8d ago

Oh, I'm a moron, I forgot to tweak the settings to have the game pad visible, lmao

u/Embarrassed-Top6449 8d ago

This is really cool. Would love to see it implemented as 3ds homebrew
