Yes!
You can use things like GameHub/GameHub Lite (a community fork which strips the telemetry), or Winlator. This can run far, far more taxing games than just the little indies. Tomb Raider (2013), Halo MCC, Fallout New Vegas, Silksong, Dave the Diver, Hades II and so on. There is tinkering sometimes, but its getting more and more impressive as time goes on.
Its up to you if you want to plan for the future and buy the ‘Max’ version (with more RAM), but for all that’s possible now, the 12GB version (the Pro model) is more than enough.
It will 100% play small indie games, but remember some games are weird. They’re fickle and refuse to work (I think one of the Deus Ex games refuses to play, I might have read that somewhere?). So it might be a case-by-case basis. If it helps, do a search for AYN Odin 2 (or AYN Odin 2 Portal) + GameHub or Winlator. They share the same chip and have plenty of users sharing their experiences!
Hope this helped :)

From what we know (its not definitive, but 99% so), its only for Google Play Protect ‘certified devices’. And none of thes handhelds have that.
You can find the full list of manufacturers here:

No. Absolutely nothing on that front so far. Not even slightly close!
- Comment on My AYN Thor 5 days ago:
You don’t need that same software. The principle is still the same though, you’re loading ROMs of games on there. The 3DS console method simplifies it because they created their own freeshop, but with this, you’re going to load the ROMs yourself.
- Comment on My AYN Thor 5 days ago:
Oh. You’re absolutely right! I’m going to have to go back in and add that, somehow it just passed me by!!! Thank you!
- Comment on My AYN Thor 5 days ago:
It is! I love how closely it resembles my (very loved) DSi. The clean white look makes me so happy!

There are links at the end of my article, but you can just follow one of countless guides on YouTube, there are many!
My old friend Terry (GrownUpGaming) has a good video on the process on YT, if you need one to follow along to :)

I’m surprised you haven’t heard of Eden before this! It’s the choice for emulating on Android now! They’re very well established, and seem to be vouched for by all the ‘big’ names in the emulation and handhelds scene.
Obviously practicing your own caution is important, but Eden isn’t some unknown fly-by-nighter. They’re very, very much a known name now.

Oops! Shit, that’s just me not reading what I write!
This always happens to me on here. Thanks for pointing it out!!!
- Comment on Preserving Play: How Eden Grew Into the Switch Emulator Everyone’s Talking About (my interview with the devs) 6 days ago:
Yes, Yuzu was a court-ordered take-down.
Ryujinx was a voluntary removal by the devs (though one of the original team now runs Ryubing)

I hope you enjoy it!

Daijishō is the launcher up top!
- Comment on My AYN Thor 6 days ago:
No, Nintendo is the only one who managed that! This is just straight AMOLED

This is not ‘my’ blog. Its my friend’s: Gardiner Bryant. I contribute there because I love gaming and I love writing.
Should we start removing all links from this community, do you think? Because sharing links to sites (by your own ‘logic’) are just ads. Right?
- Comment on My AYN Thor 1 week ago:
It does, yes! I’m running all my ROMs from a Samsung SD card on there.
- Comment on My AYN Thor 1 week ago:
Yes, it does! I’m running all my ROMs via a 512GB Samsung card.

For fuck’s sake.
Go and look at my post history on Lemmy. I’m more than established on here, as I am on Mastodon.
As to reviewing this handheld and liking it. Its like if you got sent a Steam Deck, and gave it a good review…would you consider that an ad? A product which holds up to scrutiny? My findings seem to be pretty in-line with others who have reviewed the device.
Ugh.
- Comment on My AYN Thor 1 week ago:
While it’s outdated, its the divers that make it the better option for Switch emulation! But, with time will come drivers which make the newer upgrades work as well, like 8gen2. Right now, it’s the community support that keeps the 865 being the most stable and the one I’d recommend the most (with Turnip) for Switch emu!
But as for everything else? It’s a weigh up for what is most important to you!
- Comment on My AYN Thor 1 week ago:
Exactly this!
CEMU on Android is still very new to the scene, so some things work and some don’t. I’d consider it just an added bonus (like Wind Waker!) when things work!

I think it’s the history of my posts. I’ve been interviewing developers from programs and projects for a couple of years now. From Heroic to Lutris to EmuDeck, RetroDECK, Junk Store to things like RomM and Minigalaxy. These and articles on the scene…I don’t know, I guess it’s just because I’ve established my voice as one in this gaming scene.
It’s not as loud as some, but it certainly was nice to have some validation that a company wanted me to review their product!
- Comment on My AYN Thor 1 week ago:
The Snapdragon 865 is the undisputed winner of all for the Switch, even now after so much time has passed. Time will change that, and the community is what drives changes, but it’s definitely a unique scene!
- Comment on My AYN Thor 1 week ago:
3DS emulation still has a long way to go (the emulators themselves) since Citra got taken down. But some are making great progress, Azahar is a nice project to keep an eye on. Like I mentioned in the article…it can only get better!
As to original games being made after the systems shut down, I’d love to see that too! Now we’re seeing these retro handheld manufacturers pivot to dual screen systems like the AYANEO Pocket DS, AYN Thor and the Anbernic DS, there’s definitely a community and plenty of consoles to play them on!
- Comment on My AYN Thor 1 week ago:
Yes! It depends on which Switch games, of course Switch emulation is a slippery slope of diving into drivers, settings and builds. But a lot of games run well!!
Even more surprising was WiiU (since that emulator is quite recent on the scene!), and PS3! WipEout HD: Fury was fun to play!

In fact, they are such an interesting person all around. I loved chatting to both devs!

They also worked in the same field as I before they transitioned to the CEA!
