Gamecube on the RP Classic

At first, I was skeptical loading more GC titles after being uncomfortable using Azahar (3DS system emulator). But I really like the form factor of the RPC and I like their more quiet buttons.

I searched for games that needs less use of the C stick. And I found Pokemon Colosseum to be one of them. I just started it but have been enjoying it so far.

I increased fan to sport and performance to high. I also set the dpad to the directional buttons and dpad buttons (yep, for both).

After this game, I will look for other games that use less C stick and I hope to really enjoy emulating Gamecube on my RPC.

Am glad I tried it. I tried uploading a video but won't allow me.

Receive replacement screen vs send back for new unit replacement?

Asking for opinions.

My second Ayn Thor from Batch 4 arrived, and it’s the Max 4.0 version. Unfortunately, the bottom screen is defective. I’ve been troubleshooting with Ayn through software fixes, and multiple restarts, and they confirmed there is an issue with the lower screen.

They gave me 2 options:

They send me a replacement screen and I do the repair myself using their disassembly guide/video.
I send the entire device back and they send me a replacement unit.

My concern with option 2 is that they no longer make the exact configuration I have (1TB Batch 4 version 4.0). I asked them if the replacement would be a true 1:1 equivalent, but they haven’t replied yet since it’s the weekend.

Right now, I’m leaning toward keeping my unit and attempting the screen replacement myself. I’m reasonably confident with electronics, and after watching the teardown video twice, I think I could do it. Still, I’m not a professional, and I’m worried there could be other hidden issues or that I might accidentally damage something further.

For me, option 2 only makes sense IF they can guarantee I’ll receive an equivalent-value replacement. Otherwise, I don’t think it’s fair to exchange it for a lesser model.

Thankfully, I’m not in a rush since I have other devices, including a Pro model that works perfectly.
If this were your situation, would you:
Attempt the DIY screen replacement?

Or return the whole unit and risk receiving a downgraded replacement?

What would you do?

Their team is still on weekend so I have a day at least to decide and reply to them.

I was gifted an Apple magnetic strap last March and I was using it on my camera. I thought I'd try it on my Thor. Looks okay and very secure. Almost looks like a purse.. 🤣

The strap is easily removable and I will probably leave the two hooks on my Thor as it was a bit cumbersome to install.

I just thought I share it on here.
