Questions

Can the AYN Thor run PS2 and GameCube games?

Yes. Joey's Retro Handhelds, Retro Dodo and DroiX (a retailer) report PS2 running well, and Retro Game Corps says the vast majority of PS2 games run great, with some that struggle. We rate GameCube as full speed and PS2 as most games.

How well does it handle 3DS emulation?

We rate 3DS as most games. Joey's Retro Handhelds praised the dual-screen 3DS setup, while Retro Dodo's reviewer hit setup hassle, some problem games and occasional audio stutter.

Does the AYN Thor have video out?

Yes, over USB-C DisplayPort. Joey's Retro Handhelds notes that only the top screen is sent to the TV and the bottom screen stays on.

Is it Android or Linux?

It ships with Android 13, according to AYN's store page.
