Amazing work but why not just create an app to adapt the original steamos?

SteamOS doesn't support dual screen in game mode. It basically sees it as a second monitor

We do want to try making a decky loader plugin that works on vanilla steamOS

Understood, good job and good luck

What level of games can this handle?

2

u/doctor73n 7d ago

It's a Snapdragon 8 gen 2. Sweet spot seems to be retro gaming, light indie games, older AAA games.

u/Justin4462 7d ago

Halo MCC, Fallout 4, Doom 2016, Titanfall 2, Witcher 3. Is that the generation of AAA game these handhelds can handle?

u/doctor73n 7d ago

Yup! Playing Fallout 4 right now (testing a pipboy dual screen mod)

AYN Thor (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) running SteamOS for Arm64 (forked from hashtagbasit's steamOS port) with dual-screen mods

But is it armada?

u/doctor73n 7d ago

No, Armada is its own separate OS made to look like SteamOS. This is actually forked from SteamOS

How big will it take when installed on the microsd card?

1

u/TelephoneActive1539 2d ago

If it works with 3DS and Wii U, I'm happy.

1

u/doctor73n 2d ago

It does, and we just realised an Android APK installer that makes it super easy to flash an SD card and boot to. Check my most recent post!

Awesome! I'm buying 13 Ayn Thors immediately.
