Dual Screen

Overview

On the AYN Thor and AYANEO Pocket DS, games run on the top screen and the bottom screen gets its own launcher and dashboard in Game Mode.

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 picks the theme, arranges the home screen and sets apps that open together with a game. Emulators that use two screens (melonDS, Azahar) take over the bottom screen while they run.

Tip

Swiping up from the bottom edge, or holding the AYN button, always returns to the home page.

Turning It Off

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