Great video, I think optimization with Yuzu will eventually get the majority of the switch games fully playable as the hardware is more than capable. Glad to see Virtua Racing on there although I play the PS 2 version on the Odin Pro. Cheers
Another awesome showcase I like how you threw in the intro about later GPU drivers and builds 😉I wasn't shocked but amazed when I could get Wonder to run well on my 8S Pro (same specs as the Max Odin 2) I haven't had a single crash or studder yet!
Big thing to note about Smash Ultimate on all switch emulators is that it's always going to be choppy at first no matter how powerful the device given the shader cache compiling.
Although I own just about all games that was shown and I can play them right now on the Switch, there is something compelling to play these games on Odin 2.
Yup, that's definitely a factor. The battery life is also awesome, and I the fact I can play my Switch games and my PS2/Gamecube/whatever all on one device just feels so convenient.
are there any resources showing how the ezio or arkham collections perform? was thinking that maybe the extra power might help knight run a bit more smoothly even if it is being emulated
I'm currently thinking about getting one used for a decent price (for my country at least) but it's STILL pretty expensive... Worth 3500SEK/€304/$328/£260? I'm currently on a 351P, which I've been (and still am) very happy with, but it's obviously VERY underpowered so want to upgrade to be able to play up to Switch. How are the ergonomics when using the D-pad (I'm a sucker for 2D-stuff so a good D-pad is important to me)?
Well, I showed it in a couple of the game that struggled for that reason. Even the most demanding Switch games aren't pushing beyond 8GB. So, the Pro model with 12GB makes some sense "just in case" but at least for now, 16GB is definitely overkill for the systems we can emulate on Android. Maybe if we eventually get PS3 emulators though?
What resolution are these playing at? Cos DQ11 has kinda bad resolution if you play it handheld on Switch. Would be cool if you could get an increase over that.
Was thinking the same. Especially showing footage of the newly released game. But honestly, it's nice to see it can run everything quite decently. I'll have to check out yuzu once I get my odin2.
ugh i wish mine would just ship out already. sadly i'll be waiting for a bit, i placed my order ONE stupid day after the IGG ended but I had just got my Odin Pro and had to rebuild my funds lol
@@Takk224 i placed an order for a cold grey pro odin 2 a few days ago, dont expect to see it ship before JAN 24, they ship to indigogo backers first, then us, longer you wait to order, the longer you will wait to get it
safe to say having a odin2 means you dont need a nintendo switch at all for the most part? i mean, for the most part (if the person is not a hardcore nintendo fan, just want to play some switch)
For Switch testing I did add drivers (Turnip and Qualcomm) since it is a pretty simple process of just dropping in a zip file. they make a big difference in some games and others, not so much. Most of the games shown were in docked mode but a couple (both Zeldas) seemed to have a slight but noticeable improvement in handheld mode.
What abaout all the megaman collection games like megaman collection 1 and 2 and megaman x collection 1 and 2 and megaman nt warrior collection 1 and 2?
@@iOxideAUS normally I would agree with you but uncapping the FPS does allow the game to run batter and at higher frames vs capped. There’s something odd going on with this game. I could reproduce this with BOTW and Bowsers Fury on the GPD Win 4. I would be seeing frames under 30 and when I uncapped it would be in the 40s.
It's hard to say. Does it have enough horsepower? Yes. However, right now Yuzu is very, very picky about memory and really wants you to have more than 8GB. Other emulators like Skyline Edge aren't memory hogs and if a game runs it should be fine, but right now Skyline is behind Yuzu in development.
What sucks is that in the next 1-5 years the Odin 2, like all devices will be old technology. It will still be able to emulate everything that it currently can, but if you want to emulate newer stuff you'll have to shell out another $400-$900. Meanwhile your Odin 2 is now worth $100 in used condition. Technology is frustrating. Ha.
Can't wait until more game companies just start porting their games to android for devices like these, this thing is wayy more powerful than the switch I'm sure it could play a lot of if not all of the games the steam deck can if they were just ported to android
I bought Odin 2 base version i hope Yuzu is improved to such an extent a yead or 2 from now that it could run all games at 60fps even if people own 8gb ram version of odin 2. I personally intended on playing ps2, gcn, wii, DreamCast and N64 only so i don't need more then 8gb ram. But. I hope switch emulators gets update each week until it gets better and better for low ram console can emulate it well enough!
Right now the only Switch emulator that needs so much memory is Yuzu. In a year or more I think you would be fine. All Odin 2 models clearly have the CPU power to run Switch games but Yuzu is very demanding on memory. Others based on Skyline use much less memory.
@@MjolnirStone in that case I hope devs work on skyline and keep improving on it. I am personally own switch oled so I don't need to play switch emulator maybe once in a month. But majority of time I'll be playing ps2 and gcn and wii!

I agree 100%
Question, what driver did you use for VR. I got an Odin Pro 2 and it run but with a lot glitches.

Does totk eun better on the 16gb would you say?
Big thing to note about Smash Ultimate on all switch emulators is that it's always going to be choppy at first no matter how powerful the device given the shader cache compiling.
For sure. There are definitely other games that are similar. The first 10-15 seconds might stutter then after that things get much smoother.
We went from the Odin Pro being barely capable of PS2 and GC upscaled to Odin 2 being so fast that emulators need to catch up
Retroid pocket 4 pro is best $200 emulation Android
@@elisonsit’s not even out yet
@@ironeltigre day 15 shipping my retroid 4 pro
It’s the best at $200 but that dimensity chip is a few years old the Odin 2 has 3-4 times the processing power.
Although I own just about all games that was shown and I can play them right now on the Switch, there is something compelling to play these games on Odin 2.
The good thing is that some can be played on docked mode at 1080p, unlike the actual Switch
Yup, that's definitely a factor. The battery life is also awesome, and I the fact I can play my Switch games and my PS2/Gamecube/whatever all on one device just feels so convenient.
@@MjolnirStone True the battery life on my 2017 Switch isn't holding up that well anymore.
Much appreciation for all your work! Any plans to test 3DS games?
Ohh cant wait 😎
Hope you liked it!
I've not played any Switch game this smoothly on my Odin 2 so far lol But it's still the ultimate emulation device!
I hope Nintendo don't ban you, awesome video 📸 bro
I hope so too

Use GPU driver and update firmware for better performance
Yes, but I already was using the latest drivers for this test. :)

Is this the Odin Pro or the Odin Base? Mario Wonder seems so great
Great video!!
BTW, You did turn on the high performance mode, right?
Is it getting hot ?
Wished you showed us the ram usage for each games as well. This way we can get an idea which version we should buy. Thanks though.

Nah lol
he probably just bought digital copies right? right??
Thank you for showing Darksiders.
I can't wait for mine. Especially since I went with Transparent Blue.
This is a good mid generation of console and more top android handheld. I started to think in 360 emulation but the prices are still too fancy.
ugh i wish mine would just ship out already. sadly i'll be waiting for a bit, i placed my order ONE stupid day after the IGG ended but I had just got my Odin Pro and had to rebuild my funds lol
Did you order from their website? When does it ship out? Thinking of getting one too.

give it a couple of month, yuzu on android will run any switch games flawlessly.. hardcore or casual switch gamers would be happy
this yuzu crap can only run nearly 13 games ...
If you can tolerate eggns, you can run much more than yuzu can, and less ram usage, battery drain and higher perf.
Did you use the latest Turnip GPU Driver or is this right out of the box with no further tweaking? Also docked or handheld mode? Thanks for this test!
For Switch testing I did add drivers (Turnip and Qualcomm) since it is a pretty simple process of just dropping in a zip file. they make a big difference in some games and others, not so much.

Are you using the base or pro version?
Was DQXI running on docked mode? Looked great, might play it again!
It was! Mighty impressive I think.
So, how much ram does this one have in the video ? Is that any factor at all ?
I just want to play Wii U, 3DS and older systems. How good is it at that?
Great video!!!!
Thanks!!
What version of the Odin 2 is this?
This is the Pro.
What abaout all the megaman collection games like megaman collection 1 and 2 and megaman x collection 1 and 2 and megaman nt warrior collection 1 and 2?
If you install the 60 FPS mod for BOTW does performance improve?
thats not how that works... the mod only uncaps the frame rate, if the odin isn't getting anywhere close, uncapping it won't resolve anything
@@iOxideAUS normally I would agree with you but uncapping the FPS does allow the game to run batter and at higher frames vs capped. There’s something odd going on with this game.

This sound bug is boring, chose cobeb audio for the moment, it doesnt scratch like this one
Nobody tested pokemon scarlet, could it run better than on the switch?
Are you going to test winlator?
I hope to get to it after my review.
This was recorded in which version of Odin
super mario bros deluxe loads to black screen after title. can't figure out whats going on
did you use Turnip drivers?
Most of the time, yes, but for one or two games Qualcomm drivers worked better.
Cuphead Tip: you can hold the shoot button down :)
Which emulator are you using ?
Which version of the Odin are you playing on tho
It's the Pro.
Hi, did you get 30 fps on botw without any mod?
he said he used handheld mode for better stability
What model is this Odin?
Will the base Odin 2 be good enough to run switch?
It's hard to say. Does it have enough horsepower? Yes. However, right now Yuzu is very, very picky about memory and really wants you to have more than 8GB. Other emulators like Skyline Edge aren't memory hogs and if a game runs it should be fine, but right now Skyline is behind Yuzu in development.
How do you emulate all those games
This is odin 2, 8 giga ram?
8gb ram can run yuzu well?
pokemon games?
can you test winlator on this
"is not maxing out the hardware" proceed to showcase his 80 degrees :v not maxing out cpu or ram doesn't mean it is topping
