+===== Aya Neo Air / Air Plus / 2 / 2S =====
+{{:hardware:ayaneo_airplus.jpeg?300|}}{{:hardware:ayaneo_2s.jpeg?300|}}
+AyaNeo x86_64 handhelds are supported on Batocera 40+ with the regular x86_64 image (but not the Pocket S yet, that is ARM-based). AMD-based units are supported, we are waiting on user confirmation for the Intel-based models.
+==== Install Batocera ====
+Deactivate fast boot from the BIOS, and check the UEFI parameters. To enter the BIOS settings, you can press the ''[-]'' volume button at the same time as the ''[power]'' button. In the bios, the buttons mapping is the following:
+  * ''[-]'' volume button: escape
+  * ''[+]'' volume button: enter
+  * Third trigger buttons, left and right, next to ''[L1]'' and ''[R1]'': left and right
+  * AyaNeo buttons below the right analog stick: up and down
+You can also plug a keyboard through the USB-C port to make it easier to navigate the BIOS menu.
+<WRAP center round important>Currently, you can install Batocera on a USB stick or on the internal SSD, but it won't boot from an SD Card</WRAP>
+Limitation: as of now, there are a few restrictions on using AyaNeo handhelds:
+  * the LED around the right stick of the AyaNeo AirPlus isn't working (there a [[https://github.com/ShadowBlip/ayaneo-platform/issues/13|Github ticket]] to track progress)
+  * Suspend mode doesn't work on the AyaNeo 2S (it works on the AirPlus though)
+==== Performance ====
+The Aya Neo handhelds come with different AMD or even Intel CPUs, with various performance levels.
+===== Ayn Loki Zero =====
+{{:aynloki.jpg?nolink&500|}}
+Ayn Lokis are x86_64 handhelds (while Odin are ARM-based). An Ayn Loki is sold with Windows 11, but it also supports the regular x86_64 Batocera image and can be booted on the SDCard port.
+<WRAP center round important>
+In the BIOS menu, fast boot must be disabled to be able to automatically boot Batocera. Otherwise, Batocera can only be booted from the BIOS menu itself.
+</WRAP>
+==== Install Batocera ====
+First of all, you need to upgrade the BIOS with the update [[https://www.ayntec.com/pages/software|available on Ayn's website]] (make sure you select the upgrade for the Loki Zero). The upgrade itself will take 3 to 5 minutes, make sure to reboot only once you hit the last screen shown in the document that describes the upgrade process.
+Once you have upgraded the BIOS, depending on your previous version, you might have a few options to change. To enter the BIOS setting, plus a keyboard through the USB-C port and press ''[DEL]'' until you get into the BIOS menu.
+Things to check at the BIOS level:
+  - First, burn a Batocera x86_64 image (**Batocera 38** or later) and insert it in the SD Card reader of the Loki. You need to have a valid partition on the SD Card to be able to select it in the boot options.
+  - Select the PCI-Express SD-card as the first boot option (it appears only if you have Batocera or a valid OS on your SD Card), and Windows boot manager as the second one. This will keep Windows as a backup option if you remove the SDCard from the device.
+  - Fast boot: disabled. If it's enabled, you will be able to boot Batocera only once you exit the BIOS, but you won't be able to start from a cold boot.
+  - Secure boot: disabled. If enabled, you will be able to boot Windows only, not Batocera or any other Linux distribution.
+==== Performance ====
+The Ayn Loki Zero has the same CPU/GPU as the Anbernic Win600 described above. Expect the same level of performance.

-Batocera has been confirmed to be bootable on the Steam Deck with the regular x86_64 image, however it currently has multiple minor issues that need to be ironed out. Expect official support soon!
+Batocera is now fully usable with the SteamDeck. Batocera 36 is the first official release for SteamDeck, and has been published on the [[https://batocera.org/download|official Batocera download page]]. The SteamDeck uses the same image as the regular x86_64 image.
-===== Aya Neo =====
+Batocera can be flashed to a micro SD card. Press and hold the ''[Volume -]'' and ''[Power]'' buttons to access the boot menu, from which the micro SD card can be selected.
+==== Make Batocera the default boot device for the Steam Deck ====
+It is possible to make Batocera the default OS to boot on the Steam Deck instead of Steam OS. This is assuming Batocera is already installed on the micro SD card.
+  - Turn on the Steam Deck holding the ''[Volume +]'' and ''[Power]'' buttons. Release them when the Steam Deck beeps.\\ {{:tuto1.png}}
+  - Use the D-pad to select **Setup Utility** and press {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (B SNES)}} to confirm.
+  - Go to the **Boot** category and select **Add Boot Options**.\\ {{:tuto2.png}}
+  - Choose "First". "First" is the SD card.
+  - Go to the **Exit** category and select **Save and Exit** to restart with the changes.
+==== Performance ====
+Runs up to 6th gen and easy 7th gen titles at full-speed, however begins to struggle with harder to run 7th gen.
+===== Aya Neo (Original edition) =====
 {{:aya-neo.png?nolink&500|}}
 The Aya Neo, Founder Edition or Kickstarter edition (AMD Ryzen 5 4500U based, with a 7" screen) should be working out of box with Batocera **v31** and later versions.
+More recent Aya Neo devices are also supported, see the chapter above.

 The initial screen rotation is incorrect, this can be fixed by going into **SYSTEM SETTINGS** -> **SCREEN ROTATION** and setting it to "270 DEGREES".

 If you use the Thunderbold output to play your games on a 4K monitor and want to keep the full 1600x2560 resolution, you still select ''AUTO'' or ''1600x2560'' and have the full experience. In that case, if you want to use bezels, I'd recommend to also set the ''Stretch bezels (4K and ultrawide)'' option from the ''GAME SETTINGS'' menu.

+With Batocera 35 and later, you can use the orange button on the left to cycle through backlight brightness levels. This button is not registered in gamepad mode, but seen as a key from a keyboard.
 Also, with Batocera 35 and later, you can use the power button to put the OneXPlayer in suspend mode. To enable this, you need to manually edit the ''batocera.conf'' file and add a line ''system.suspendmode=suspend'' or ''system.suspendmode=hybrid''. Hybrid modes saves a little more energy than suspend (but takes longer to restore). Full "hibernate" mode doesn't work right now.

   * The Win 3 technically boots perfectly fine, but the screen rotation settings are not properly interpreted, resulting in major screen distortion. This can be worked around by manually setting the screen rotation every boot. Shares the same issues the Win 2 has in regards to buttons/suspending features. There is also a chance of the device having a locked BIOS, meaning installation of any other OS aside Windows is impossible.
   * The XD and XD Plus are Android-powered ARM devices, and currently not supported by Batocera.
+===== Lenovo Legion Go =====
+The Legion Go seems to be mostly supported on Batocera 38 and later, with a couple of tweaks described in [[https://gaming.lenovo.com/us/connect/groups/legion-go/f/forum/5936/batocera-on-legion-go/|this forum post]] on the Lenovo website.
