Dual screen

On the AYN Thor and AYANEO Pocket DS, games run on the top screen. In Game Mode the bottom screen shows a launcher and a dashboard.

Page What's on it
Home tools, web apps and apps as tiles, plus what's playing
Game strip notes, guide, screenshot and frame generation for the running game
Dashboard the game's art and play time, FPS, battery, temperatures, fan, power, profiles and brightness for each screen
Trackpad and keyboard a touchpad and a keyboard with swipe typing, autocorrect and suggestions

Themes: Aura, Pulse, Gauges and Pure Black.

Lower Deck

The Lower Deck plugin in Quick Access sets the theme, arranges the home screen and chooses apps that open together with a game. Emulators that use two screens (melonDS, Azahar) take over the bottom screen while they run.

Tip

Swipe up from the bottom edge, or hold the AYN button, to go back to the home page from anywhere.

Turning the bottom screen interface off

Set "enabled": false in ~/.config/steamos-arm/bottom-screen.json and return to Game Mode.
