So, I ordered the AYN Thor before the price increase and should hopefully have it shipped by the beginning of May. In the meantime, I'm looking up tons of videos and posts to soak in as much advice as I can as well as practice using the specific emulators and texture packs on my PC in the meantime.

I'm pretty sure some of you here have this unit. So, any advice you can give a new owner of the device for its use or tips and tricks to get the most out of it? I have the Rainbow Max version (16GB RAM + 1TB internal). Having it shipped with a screen protector, TPU case, carry case, and grip. So I got those taken care of already. Planning on using the 1TB internal plus my 512GB microSD I used to use for my PS1 xStation build before putting the 1.5TB microSD in my MiSTer. My main focus is going to be DS, 3DS, WiiU, Wii, Gamecube, and PS2 as I have my Analogue Pocket for my 8 and 16bit consoles.
 
cemu on the thor isn't really there yet, it's very buggy and has some pretty severe performance problems, i've tried wind waker and twilight princess HD on it, they initially run fine, then suddenly start to run extremely slowly and i've had to reboot the whole thor in order to get them to run at full speed again

you need a special fork of drastic to get the bottom screen to work properly, i don't remember where you get it but i think it's an "i18n" version

i've been told of this very neat DSP tweak, do it at your own risk, but it improves the audio an insane amount, i'm not sure if it still works on the latest OTA though

Do not Charge your Device all the way to 100%. Best to keep it around 80-89% to keep the Battery good. Also, make sure not to make it heat up for prolonged periods.

If you can, test how Bejeweled Classic runs. Wanting a Thor also, and that will be a must to get. Also curious if FM Radio is Enabled (would have a FM Radio App Preinstalled if it is, or if you can use NextRadio). Also curious if it has Root Access
