I love seeing videos on Ayn Odin 2
This video confirms that I should get the AYN Odin 2 and I’m going to buy the Max for longevity.
Mine comes in 2 days 😊😊😊😊
Wait get the odin mini
Nice round-up!
Thanks!
Love this video 🎉 short and sweet, packed with the information we wanted to hear and see.
Could you try to play KOTOR 1 and 2, also force Unleashed
Glad you liked it!
Force Unleashed should work fine as it's a PS2 game.
KOTOR 1 in theory should work, but let me see if I've got the Android version and I'll try that.
I love contents about Odin 2 so I insta subscribed haha. May I ask what are the two first games you've shown in the "Closing Thoughts" section of the video? The only thing I'd suggest to improve your videos' quality would be to add the title of each game you're testing on the screen. Besides that keep it up man, great channel!
Glad you like it and thanks for the feedback!
I believe the final two games are Skylanders Imaginators and Mortal Kombat Deception (or Mortal Kombat Armageddon).
@@RetroResolve thank you!
Did someone now how can i play with the odin multiplayer my wife has one and i how to traue pokemon etc ??
@retroresolve can you help by giving/list down each of the tested emulation the emulator apps that you are using? Thanks
Sure can! If you go to the start of each section of the video there should be a label that says the platform (SNES, Genesis, etc) and below that is the name of the emulator I used in blue (RetroArch, Dolphin, etc).
Hello thank you for your video. Did you used the 8 Gb device, 12 Gb or 16 Gb for your tests ?
Hello! It's the Odin 2 Pro, so that would be 12GB, I believe.
For the price I wouldn't expect any less
Sorry if I missed it, but which version of the Odin were you using for these tests?
It's the Pro! I did Consider the Max but I think it'd be diminishing returns.
Thanks for getting back to me! How do you think the RAM loss from a base model might effect emulation performance?@@RetroResolve
@@whoopswrongbutton3987 I don't think it's going to make much of a difference to be honest. Obviously more is always better, but it's the chipset that's the most important thing with newer console emulation. Loading may be slightly slower, but that won't noticeable unless you also buy the Pro and Max as well.
The main thing is that you get the right drivers installed in Yuzu. Once that's done you should be fine to play roughly the same games as the Pro (when it comes to emulation).
I'd maybe get a space SD card, though, haha. That 128GB is going to get filled up FAST.
I want an ODIN 3 PRO with SD GEN3 or G2x GEN2 8inch 90hz vrr oled!
What does it mean now for devices like the Odin now that Yuzu and Citra and other emulators have been shutdown?
Good question! In short, getting hold of the apps is going to be harder, and it's not exactly clear what the legal standpoint is.
It's also possible another developer will pick up the apps and rework them so they're less copyright infringing.
on my odin 2 using vulkan on dolphin results in black screens with audio only running on Most gamecube have to use opengl and it works great at 1080 BUT the battery drain is bad about 2 hours vs 6ish on games vulkan works on
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)?
The d-pad is good! That's actually one of the things I look for as well. The only real drawbacks are the face buttons, which imo are too small for the device.
The price is worth it given how much it can play. Just keep in mind Switch is limited by the state of the emulator rather than the console itself.
Im just getting into retro gaming after a general hiatus from gaming in general (I was mostly a PC gamer). Ive ordered this as my first and last "one and done" system.
Do you reckon this is "endgame" for everything PS2 and under? Especially as you can change things such as the battery, potentially getting many years out of the device?
As of right now, I legit think it's the best Android option for PS2 and below (the face buttons still suck though).
The only other real alternative out there is the Steam Deck, but not everyone wants/needs a Steam Deck.
@@RetroResolve thanks for reply! My friend who is a seasoned retro gamer told me to rather spend the money and get a device that can do all the old consoles well rather than having to tinker with settings on the less powered devices. I have no intention of collecting these devices 😅
Of course the Steam Deck is an amazing system but I can't see myself travelling with it because of the size. It also sells locally for 30% to 40% more than what I paid for the Odin 2 with shipping and customs. I also have a gaming PC that can still play many of AAA titles just fine.
Sorry one last question, how does the Odin handle being docked/"console" mode? Will the screen switch off and it seamlessly outputs to a monitor or TV?
@@rob8311 Ooh. Good question. If memory serves, I think it should turn off. It's been awhile though so could be wrong!
@@RetroResolve thanks appreciate all the answers. Hopefully mine ships soon, ordered on Saturday night with DHL shipping but no movement of package yet from their warehouse.
NICE! So you do said 3DS games work but small portion don’t right?
So can I say all the 3DS “POKEMON” games work?
Your best bet is to Google 'Citra Compatibility'. There should be a list that breaks down every game and says how well they work and if there are any problems.😁
Do you get fatigued trying to play for longer sessions (30min to couple hours)?
Not really? On the Steam Deck it starts to feel heavier after a few hours. But this thing feels light enough for me.
what's the name and plataform game before of Mortal Kombat?
Skylanders Imaginators!
Should I get ambernic rg556 if I want to play ds games and ps2 games? Or stick to odin 2?
Odin 2 or steam deck both are king
Seconding this! Odin 2 if you want Android, Steam Deck if you want sheer power.
Honestly, if thats all you want to play and you value portability. I would get the retro pocket 4 pro. It has great build quality. And its at minimum 100 dollars cheaper than the odin and deck.
is this Odin 2 base or pro?
Pro!
Can you test xbox ?
I don't believe Xbox or Xbox 60 is possible on Android at the moment. I don't think there's an emulator for it.
The Steam Deck is likely your best bet if that's your main goal.
@@RetroResolve d'oh i thought xemu was ported to android. It has not my bad.
What a lot of these shill youtubers fail to tell you is that most are using pro and max configs while passing them off ass the base model. Nowhere does he say he is using the pro model. Please be careful people, don't let these shills scam you
Totally get where you're coming from with this. Fwiw, I mentioned it in the comments and have added the model name to the description.
The reason I didn't mention isn't anything as excitingly sinister either. It's just a case of I'm very new to TH-cam and didn't think to (but will absolutely do so moving forwards).
The base odin 2 is powerful enough to play everything that was in this video. I wouldn't jump to assuming everyone cover this product are shills. Just look around, there are videos that cover things the way you want.
Get a better mic
I will when the channel starts making money. I've got HyperX Quadcast S at the moment and better mics than that cost A LOT.
Thought it was fine
@@CertifiedMVP Thank you! Appreciate you stepping in to say this.
I thought it's fine too, Quadcast is decent can add a compressor or EQ filter to make it sound even better
