  • 👉 Join me as we take a look at ‪@ayn6704‬'s successor to the Odin Pro, the Odin 2. This is equipped with Qualcomm's incredibly powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile chipset and is now the most powerful Android based handheld on the market. I'm beyond excited to dive into the first handheld with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and explore with you everything that the Odin 2 brings to the table including an unboxing, teardown, emulation showcase (Nintendo Switch, Wii, Gamecube, 3DS, Playstation 2, & Playstation Portable) and android gaming.

      Backed the Odin 2 max on August 22, and just got a mail that they sent it out today, so it should be here within the next week. 😍
      I really like how the Odin 2 campaign is a huge victory for AYN. From the experience with the "old" Odins we already knew that these folks are capable of building the best emulation devices you could think of at the time, but now they proved that they can do so far quicker than announced.

    This was the best review of the Odin 2 so far. I'm sure it took a lot of time and effort so well done. My only critique would be to mention what the 3x, 4x etc translates to in output (eg. 1080p and so on)

    What an epic review! I'll probably have to get an Odin 2 eventually, but it's weirdly not that exciting to me. At this point in the handheld wars, I'm finding that consoles that serve a niche purpose well are more appealing than that one device that can "do it all". The RGB30 has been so much fun and I'm intensely excited for the Anbernic RG ARC-D/RG ARC-S. It's basically the modern Sega Nomad I've always wanted, but never dreamed would actually happen.

I have been playing with my Odin 2 now for a few days and have to keep the screen at 80 percent or higher brightness to make it look good and that is indoors. Not sure if that can be fixed in future firmware but I don't think its bright enough to play outside at all...

    @retrotechdad So I opened mine up just to see what's up, but the heatsink on my base unit is almost impossible to remove because there are 2 plastic tabs above the heat exhaust and it's basically lodged in there. after wiggling it for around 15 minutes or so, somehow physics bent and realities washed away and I was able to pull it out, but I can't for the life of me replicate it. Your unit doesn't seem like it has those tabs and allowing the heatsink to come off easily!

    Do you see a world where owning the Steam Deck and Odin 2 makes sense?
    I find I never take the Steam Deck out of the house due to its size. I've ordered the Odin 2 to cover that and emulation in a smaller device.
    I'm not sure if its excessive though. Not to mention the new Steam Deck OLED is now out there...

    • @RickyFromVegas
      @RickyFromVegas 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I have both steam deck and oin 2 and I honestly hate that both devices are so good on their own and overlap a lot of the same areas, I feel like one has to go. Probably Odin 2 has to go since Steam Deck is just so dang useful in more ways than Odin 2 is. I think If Odin 2 came at a smaller footprint, it would be ok, but it's just too big and thick to be a Steam Deck companion, IMO. Retroid Pocket 3+ would have been a better companion to SD

    Great video! I know it may not matter too a lot of people but there is one android game in particular that I play that has me worried about something. That game is Call of Duty mobile. I don’t know if you have done any testing with it but my concern is that even tho it has key mapping capabilities, that is not a direct replace for controller play. With that being said I own a Logitech G Cloud and found that when opening the game it doesn’t recognize the handheld as a controller, I was able to come up with a work around that was suggested on Reddit that if you Bluetooth connect a PS4 controller to the console the app recognizes that there is a controller connected and it allows me to use the console controls as what I set it as. Where I don’t understand why it doesn’t recognize it on these devices but yet on my RG505 it does after the gamma squeeze install. Do you know if this is the same on this handheld?

    • @retrotechdad
      @retrotechdad  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      This is a fantastic question!
      I went ahead and checked out CoD Mobile for you and I can't get it to detect the built-in controls even after messing around with a few settings. The weird thing is that it will show as connected in-game in the control settings.
      I believe with GammaOS, I remember Gamma saying he "tricked" the device to be seen as a bluetooth controller. I'll have to ask him to confirm.

    All I can hear is a clicking sound but the fan does not seem to move (I can actually can see it still thorugh the vent inlet holes). That clicking sound seems to be electric sound, which suggest that the fan is short-circuited...

      I have an retroid pocket 3 plus, which has a lot less lag than the odin,(i measured around 70-90ms on 60fps games) but i can still feel it, tho i found out 100ms is the threshold of acceptable to me for fast games.
      I also had the odin lite, and it's huge latency was immediately a turn off for me, so much that i never really enjoyed playing on it and ended up selling it.
      I play mostly fps games on PC at 144hz, with around 35ms of latency, so i'm much more sensible to latency than the average person.
      Now considering the Russ testing, which showed the odin 2 has a 33% increase in latency (89 to 119) compared to the rp3plus, that has around 75ms of lag according to my testings, it's barely in the acceptable range (100ms).
      Also, i can't trust blindly it's testing, his methodology is very wrong, the only thing we can somewhat extract from his testing is that the odin 2 has higher than average latency.

      Dolphin is the best emulator latency wise and aethersx2 is one of the worst, ppsspp also has a lot of added latency, now if the trend of 33% higher latency continues across all emulators, most games will go from 120ms(most ps2 and psp games has around this) to 160ms, absolutely not fine.
