+===== 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.

 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 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.
