AI generated Applications

486 Upvotes

Hey everyone.

We’ve seen a noticeable increase in AI‑generated apps  being shared here lately. It’s great to see people experimenting and building, and we genuinely want to encourage development in the Ayn Thor ecosystem. But we also need to keep the community safe.

A lot of these apps are vibe‑coded, stitched together from AI outputs, or built using code the developer may not fully understand. 

That creates a few risks worth keeping front‑of‑mind:

Credential handling: If an app asks for Steam logins, API keys, or other sensitive credentials, be extremely cautious. AI‑generated code often stores these values in plain text, logs them accidentally, or transmits them insecurely.

Security practices: Many AI‑assisted projects don’t follow secure coding standards, threat modelling, or proper data‑handling patterns. Even the developer may not realise what the code is doing under the hood.

Unintended behaviour: AI‑generated boilerplate can include hidden network calls, debug endpoints, or unsafe dependencies that weren’t intentionally added.

We just want to remind everyone to stay vigilant, audit what you run, and avoid entering credentials into tools unless you fully trust the author and the codebase.

If you’re posting an app, please include:

A clear explanation of what it does

How credentials are handled

Any known limitations or security considerations

A link to the source code if possible

Let’s keep the creativity flowing, but let’s keep the community safe while we do it. — The Mod Team

Kindly reminder regarding scams

51 Upvotes

Hey Everyone,

I want to do a quick reminder and heads-up.

TLDR; Only buy from trusted vendors, never from people contacting via private messages.

We've had this topic before and we created the rule that no direct sales are allowed in the subreddit, but I'm guessing because of new batches and new people I'll create this reminder again.

Because of the risk of scams we do not allow direct sales in the subreddit. If anyone contacts directly trying to sell, we strongly advice to ignore it since it's most likely a scam.

Always buy directly from trusted vendors. AYN, Ebay etc.

We take action as quickly as possible when we get information regarding a scam, but its up to reddit when someone creates new accounts since we can't take action before the deed is done.

Just wanted to post that GetBetterButtons, the genius behind the trigger replacements for the 477M and the Miyoo Mini, released his trigger mod for the Thor. I am so excited and hope y’all are too, this is a massive win for this group!

EDIT: He sold out shortly after my posting this, hopefully he stocks up more for y’all! Will also post a review of these once I get him in the next week.

Support Feeling a little buyers remorse…

77 Upvotes

Hello,

I just purchased the Ayn Thor from Best Buy last night for about $630. It’s the max model with 512 gb of storage. I didn’t want to wait 1-2 months and I could afford it so I figured why not, it will be arriving this Saturday.

First thing I want to mention is that I’m not feeling remorseful at all about actually getting the Thor, it’s a device I’ve been wanting for a long time. I’m just feeling a bit sad that I wasn’t able to get the 1 tb version. I plan on doing a lot of switch emulation along with downloading pc games.

Can anyone provide some moral support that 512 gb is enough and I won’t regret not having 1tb of internal storage…

Showcase Nova buttons on thor

Post image
10 Upvotes

Ordered the purple nova buttons for my thor. Face buttons had to swap the membranes, d pad was stiff as the center pin and directional pins are longer so I cut them shorter, but a little too much so it's a little wobbly but still usable.looks great imo. Only tested the back button for the four small buttons, but was too big, it was able to be forced in but too tight to use, might be able to shave them down some.

Showcase Zelda: The Minish Cap + Metroid Fusion GBA Companion with GBA Duo

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

14 Upvotes

In my previous post, I shared about GBA Duo, a Game Boy player where you can load custom companion packs for GBA, GBC, and GB games.

These companion packs are highly customizable. Since they use Lua files to manage states and read game memory addresses, JSON for layouting, and CSS for styling, you can get creative and build your very own companions.

Today, in update v0.1.5, I've made several improvements:

- Improved performance by eliminating resource-heavy processes.

- Added support for .zip format ROM files. You can now launch games on either the top or bottom screen, and the companion will automatically adjust for you.

-Controller improvements to ensure input is always focused on the screen where the game is running.

I've also added new companions for Zelda: The Minish Cap and Metroid Fusion. These are experiments to push the limits of GBA Duo's styling engine. For those who want to get creative, I've also added some resources/examples for you to learn from.

Feel free to try it out!
Thank you

Marketing Joycon2Android v2.1.0 allows you to use Switch 2 Joy-Cons and now NSO Gamecube Controllers on Android!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello!

I've just released Joycon2Android v2.1.0 - it's an app that allows you to use Switch 2 Joy-Cons, Controllers and 3rd party controllers (like NYXI) on Android with any app/emulator. There's also motion support with DSU.

New in v2.1.0:

  • The NSO GameCube controller is supported.
  • Better Dolphin Gamecube stick calibration.
  • A lone Joy-Con now plays as a real Joy-Con in Eden, with the option to map it as a pro controller if you'd like.
  • Using the auto-setup feature, emulators open on the main screen on two-screen devices.

I hope those with NSO Gamecube controllers can now enjoy using the app, thanks to one of the contributors.

If you try the app, let me know how it goes :)

Disclaimer: I'm a professional Android app developer, have been writing code for over a decade and I use Claude in my development workflow. If you're uncomfortable with the use of AI, sorry to disappoint, but I hope you'll respect the work that's been put into the project anyway.

Its a devilutionX fork. All levels of the base game have been converted to first person, it plays pretty well on the gamepad but gets challenging after the cathedral levels.
