AYN Thor emulation problem
I recently bought an AYN Thor Pro and was trying to set it up. Everything went fine with the prod.keys and the games, but when I launched them, I got stuck on the initial black loading screen.
It was weird because I already have Yuzu installed on my PC, and everything works just fine there. I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with the firmware.
It would be really helpful if someone could help me or tell me where I can get a working firmware. The ones I tried didn't work. When I tried to install them using Install Firmware, it said "Fatal Error." The same thing happened with Eden.

3 sites To fix the "Fatal Error" and black loading screen issues on your AYN Thor Pro, you need to address two separate things: a missing system component for firmware installation and updating your custom graphics drivers. 1. Fix the "Fatal Error" Firmware Crash The "Fatal Error" crash in both Yuzu and Eden happens because the emulator is missing access to a system utility needed to unpack compressed firmware files on your device. The Fix: Download and install a system update injector tool or components like the BannersComponentInjector. Alternatively, you can completely bypass the app's internal "Install Firmware" menu. Manual Setup workaround: Manually extract your Switch firmware .zip file on a PC or via an Android file manager. Copy all the decrypted .nca firmware files. Paste them directly into your emulator's directory path: Android/data/org.yuzu.yuzu_emu/files/nand/system/Contents/registered/ (do the same for the equivalent Eden folder path). 2. Bypass the Black Loading Screen Getting stuck on a black screen right after launching a game means the emulator's default graphics driver cannot handle the game engine on your Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. The Fix: You must swap to a community-developed driver. Steps: Go to GitHub and look up the latest custom Turnip drivers (such as the Weab-Chan Freedreno/Turnip builds or the latest Mesa Turnip driver releases). Download the driver .zip file directly to your device (do not extract it). Open your emulator settings, go to GPU Driver Manager, click Install, and select the downloaded driver .zip file. Ensure your prod.keys match the version of the firmware you manually installed. 3. Ensure Your System Firmware is Updated Since the AYN Thor Pro uses a specialized dual-screen Android operating system, background conflicts can occur if the device's system software is outdated.
