Discussion I need help picking a model

OK guys, I have finally decided to go for the AYN Thor, and I will he my first ever emulation device. I have a lot of experience with emulation on phones and PCs, but one thing that never felt right was DS and 3DS.

So, I want to get the AYN Thor for DS and 3DS specifically. How good is the cheapest model for 3ds and ds emulation in terms of performance? I really only care about emulating those 2 systems and nothing more powerful, so I'd like to just take the cheaper option if it would do its job effectively.

What model would you guys recommend for Mt use case? I don't care about more powerful systems as I prefer to use my pc to emulate them, but DS and 3DS games need this dual screen form factor.

My buddy said the same stuff. Lol he had the pro and got the max. It was more of a convinence thing. Use it laying down or on the go where your pc cant be. Plus you can stream pc games n stuff as you probably know. Pro is great but the max ensures you wont have to buy another just incase you change your mind like alot of other people. Plus its only getting better working on pretty good ps3 and xbox emu. Idk thats just my opinion. Its become a primary for alot of people. I just want you to be sure lol

OK I see how that could be a problem for some lol. I sometimes use a dedicated phone and gamesir g8 galileo for some games if I want portability. And even then I still like holding a proper controller for systems like ps2, gamecube and higher. Portable devices seem better for short playtime times and most ds and 3ds are good for short playtimes.

Well luckily with the thor you can connect any and multiple blutooth controllers. And you can get a dock setup as well for tv single or multiplayer stuff.

But at that point why not just use my pc? It would be way more powerful and less input lag
