Seamless Second-screen Multi-tasking for Android Retro Handhelds

TwinLore keeps guides, maps, images, and bookmarks directly tied to the game you are playing. No tab switching. No lost progress. No hunting for last-read pages. Optimized for controller use on two-screen handhelds, it maximizes focus and efficiency with style.

Open Beta — beta license included, no purchase or setup required. Ad-free and offline-capable.

The AYN Thor enables multitasking, but there’s no single place to organize all game-related content.

After discovering DS/3DS games for the first time, I wanted every emulator or console game to feel that same seamless connection between gameplay and reference material. TwinLore addresses common frustrations:

• Switching constantly between browser tabs or apps
• One-tap Map ↔ Guide switching
• Retro games with no map marking system
• Losing track of previously searched guides
• Forgetting where you left off in a guide

• Track RetroAchivements

• Automatically switch to the currently launched game
• Full support for ES-DE
• Other frontend launchers supported when using RetroArch cores
