Testing 35 Nintendo Switch games on the AYN Thor Max using the latest Eden emulator.
In this video I show real gameplay performance across a wide range of titles, from big AAA releases to lighter indie games, all running directly on the AYN Thor in high-performance mode.
I also include a full Eden setup guide, covering how to install the emulator, where to place your firmware and prod keys, recommended settings, driver choices, and the tweaks that gave me the smoothest results. I run through the settings that didn’t work well too, so you can avoid the issues I hit.
The AYN Thor continues to impress with its power, speed, and that gorgeous OLED display. Switch emulation on Android is improving fast, and this handheld is quickly becoming one of the best all-round emulation devices available.
If you’ve got better settings for any of the games tested, drop them in the comments so others can benefit too.
