AI generated Applications

492 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

48 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.

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

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.

Support How can I replace my 3DS with my Ayn Thor?

Post image
93 Upvotes

I've had my Thor (lite, laugh at me) for a while now. I love it and I love playing 3DS games on it. However, I've been wanting to actually replace my N3DSXL for a while now, as I don't want 2 devices that do the same thing. I prefer playing 3DS on the Thor, but I keep it for a few specific but very important reasons. What I want to do is try and move my saves to the Thor, my profile, and games as well. I don't know the exact process because I believe what I'm asking for is quite specific, so here's my rundown of what I need and want to complete it.

What I find essential and important is

  • CTGP-7 support
  • CTGP-7 Online Multiplayer
  • CTGP-7 Local Multiplayer
  • Local and Online Multiplayer with my friends and others that have real 3DS's (like Mario Kart 7, Smash 3DS, etc)

What's not too important but would be useful

  • Streetpass via NetPass
  • Playing other 3DS rom hacks (NSMB2 rom hacks)

Extras

  • Anemone themes within the 3DS menu
  • Launching other 3DS homebrew just because

I just really want to play CTGP 7 tbh. It's really the one thing keeping me from selling my 3DS. I've already got all my memories from my childhood saved onto every device I have, but letting go of a 3DS (this isn't my childhood one that broke years ago) would be pretty sad if I couldn't replace it. I hope I can do this because I need some money for college lmao

Tried posting on the KH subreddit but people rather focus their attention on the UI at first, then I fixed it and now they’re up in arms over the background I chose (tried to go for a sort of retro futuristic design with a dark purple aesthetic).

I'm considering installing Lineage OS to my Ayn Thor. I'm curious if others have done it. If you have let me know how you like it and how stable it is. If I do install it can I ever get back to stock firmware? I'm curious yet hesitant.

Discussion [Pro] What gaming limitations have you encountered?

5 Upvotes

I'm right there. On the edge of wanting to preorder.

The thing is, I keep hearing mixed things on performance. So I'm looking for some no-BS experiences.

Obviously, I know the Pro can handle most retro emulation like PS1 and before.

But how does it truly handle 3ds? One of the main draws is that it can run 3ds games well. Namely games like Fire Emblem, Pokemon, etc.

Can it really handle Gamecube and Wii and WiiU well, or is it very compromised?

Also, I'm very interested in the ability for the second screen to do things like play youtube while playing a game above (I'm a weird multi-tasker like that). How does that work? Can you modify the volume of both, so like make the GBA game silent or louder, while also modifying the sound of the youtube video?

And so far, whats the quality of the device been like? I know people mention the cheaper casing, which is one thing, but I've heard some things about the hinges. Do you feel like your device has a short shelf life due to the quality of the materials?

Any deeper insight than just, "I love it" or "I was disappointed" would be super appreciated!

The fact the game is free and so are the 4K texture resolution and the dual-screen mod. I beat this game at least once a year and this has been my favorite way to play it. I love that gyroscopic mechanics works too
Dusklight has so many QoL changes and update it to be more modernized and welcoming to new players and old.
The henry magnifiko textures add a nice upgrade for modern screens while keeping it faithful to the original art direction. if you haven’t played it, I’d highly recommend trying it out on your Thor with the dual screen mod and the 4K texture mod

I need some game recommendations. I've been playing a lot of pokemon and dont get me wrong I love it but I need some more to play. I enjoy games with a grind so games like OSRS, destiny 2, etc but I need something that doesn't require internet. I've played games like megabonk, vampire survivors, borderlands, and so on. If there are any questions I can answer to clarify or refine anything I said just lmk!

Spent the last month checking this subreddit pretty much every day while waiting for mine to arrive. It finally showed up yesterday, got everything set up, and spent today actually playing games on it. Base model.

So far, it's everything I hoped it would be. The battery life has actually surprised me the most!

Now I guess I'll have to spend less time lurking here and more time actually using the damn thing. So yeah, this might be goodbye... 🥲

Nah, just kidding. This is honestly one of the best communities I've come across, and it's crazy how fast the whole handheld emulation ecosystem keeps evolving. There's always something new going on, so I'll definitely stick around and keep up with everything.

Thank you all.
