Really love the quality on these videos, you’ve gotten me so hyped to get my hands on one of these!! Really appreciate the detail, I feel like I have everything I need to make a decision. Keep these videos coming!
🤔 ok now I'm intrigued any chance it'll run sonic adventure DX directors cut for the GameCube? If you can believe this it's my all time favourite game 😁
@@jayhdgaf 🤣 what's tachiyomi? Also I mean it probably wouldn't be a bad investment but holding it vertically might be a tad awkward because of the form factor plus the controllers which are non detachable might get in the way subway surfers you can play anywhere retro games are forever though 😁
Just ordered this bad boy after doing a TON of research. Yours pretty much sealed the deal haha. Would love to see a video on your set up! Especially N64 widescreen hacks and implementing hires textures :). Great job!
Literally just received my super pack odin pro 256gb yesterday! Phenomenal handehld the build quality is unrivalled. Feels so good in hand and the screen is just the perfect size and quality.
Great review! I would really like to see a video on your Ultimate Odin setup and playing SNES in wide screen. I enjoy hearing about these devices with the Pros and Cons to have all options. While I don't have any of these handhelds yet I like to be informed before I pull the trigger. Maybe they'll fix the issues with the dock, that's the main con but other wise in handheld more seems almost perfect.
Awesome video!! 🔥I’m excited about the next video showing your set up for the Odin. I’m at total noob at it and need it desperately to get the best out of my Odin. And also, despite everyone not liking the music, I did. It’s a smooth and kind of relaxing melody. 🎶 What’s the name of it? 😎
I knew about the Odin very early in their campaign but I've been burned with crowd funding before and I wanted to wait and see the reviews once it was shipped. After several videos yours was one of the most educative and helpful. I already have a RG351M from Anbernic and I am pretty happy with my retro library. I wanted something to play Dreamcast, Atomiswave and Gamecube. I am between this device or raise a little extra money and get in line for the Steam Deck. After this video I think I can save some money and get all I want with this one.
Wow thanks so much for watching! I think the biggest difference between Odin & Steam Deck will be the size. Odin seems way more “pocketable” or travel friendly. But I won’t have my Steam Deck until October so can’t say for sure if that’s how I’ll feel once I get it 😅
I ordered in February and was told I would get mine in May. The team is very open to answering questions, so the wait is no issue because you know they use delays for improvements. I just hope they are able to create a cpu upgrade kit, so later we can use the shell and active cooling and just pop in a new board with a Gen 1 cpu. Try the Gamesir usb-c phone control until you get your odin.
@@summersky77 I ordered in januari and it arrived today :) Though the docks output seems to be kind of low res, I am not sure whats going on. Its certainly not 1920x1200 like spyro in this video, more like 640x480 or the widescreen version of that. That native android apps too, genshin looks perfect on the device itself but once displayed on the tv it looks bad, also stutters a lot more then in handheld mode. Not sure whats going in there.
Yeah, I ordered mine a few months back, and it should hopefully be shipping within 1-2 weeks, if estimates are to be believed. I got the dock, but not because I really wanted it, but because the color system I wanted was only offered in the bundle, so why not? I'm a portable gamer 99% of the time, so I never had much use for the dock, but it looks decent enough. That vent issue, and upside down GC ports is a HUGE WTF!? moment for sure, but otherwise, seems OK overall. The bundle also includes their specific carry case, and that looks like the best option for sure. So I'm very much looking forward to mine, and I'll probably just use that dock for charging purposes. Thanks for the vid.
after i gave away my retroid pocket 2+ (really liked that handheld) i was seriously looking into this to be my next handheld device. however, i started looking into used phones and i stumbled onto the pixel 3 which i found out that it also has the snapdragon 845. long story short, i now run a pixel 3 XL with a razer kishi strictly for gaming, and have a pixel 3 as my phone. sure there are some downsides like the battery only having 2600mAh, no sd card, and no 3.5mm port, but it's still working out really well for me. however, if for any reason i get rid of my current set up, the Odin will definitely be my next option
Nice review but just a few things to point out. Several people have had the base model for months... and not just black pro models have shipped out. Agree that the background music is too loud.
I think this shouldn’t be considered the “definitive review”, there’s still lots of updating and optimization for them to work on, it’s still early on the “Odin’s life” as they haven’t reached retail yet. Lots could change
Nice video. Great information for me as my Super Dock Bundle is awaiting shipment. May I suggest that next time you make the background music quieter though so it is easier to hear you speak? I watch videos on double speed and your voice blends into the music or is quieter than the music at times.
Nice review, If you could share a setup/settings video as you said that would be great 👍 any suggested rom mods and potential hurdles installing please and thanks 🙏
Great review, subbed. My wish list for the next gen would include an OLED screen and a slightly more powerful soc. I'd happily dish out another $50-75 for that
@@armyofninjas9055 it really isn't. My phone's have been fine for years. My OLED TV looks amazing 3 years later. Even my 10 year old plasma is completely free of burn-in. It's amazing how little a problem it is when you're aware of the possibility. Just don't leave a static image up for hours and hours. Turn it off when you're not using it. Don't crank contrast up to the max. A little bit of user education goes a long way. Even my parents understand these things and their early gen OLED still looks great
Nice setup and overall showcase! Huge performance upgrade over my classic GPD XD, you already sold me on the idea of having Widescreen PS1 games on the go..
Yeah, would love to see the setup with the widescreen hacks. I'm playing Medievil (PS1 Version) on my Odin right now and when I turn on the widescreen mode in the settings, nothing happens. I bet it's only for certain games and not all of them or am I missing something here? Great video, keep up the good work and just turn down the music a bit the next time! =)
Can Odin play original Xbox games? I was wondering cause i haven't seen any Xbox emulator or roms being demonstrated lol. or am i missing something or is that what the Xbox game pas for? lol
Did you not run the OTA update that enabled the rear M1/M2 buttons to be mappable in emulators? I wish it had launched with that, but I'm so happy they fixed it. Very useful.
Despite not owning nor wanting an Odin, I often play on my Android Tablet with an 8bitdo SN30 Pro 2 and an M30 and I have to switch my inputs on emulators, what I did was browsing the RetroArch folders to find my per core gamepad maps, then I've made a copy of one of the files, renamed to M30, went back to RetroArch, loaded that mapping, remade it and saved it again. Now it's just a matter of loading that button mapping easily! Maybe you guys who use the odin and the dock could do something similar at least for systems that are available on RetroArch
Very nice review! I guess I'll have another channel about these great (retro) handhelds to watch c: Just one little suggestion: Personally, I think the background music is a bit too loud. Your voice shouldn't get so hushed.
I definitely will account for that in the next video. I think I was enjoying this videos music too much while I was editing 😂. Thanks for the feedback!
Enjoyed this review. I always doubted about a personal usage of the dock for this handheld, your video helped me make my choice. By the way, the music is pretty cool, but since there are no credits, any hope to get its title ?
Thanks so much! The tracks are actually songs I commission for the channel. I’ve been considering making another channel with just the tracks. I figure if I enjoy listening to them, other people may enjoy it as well! Let me know if that’s something you’re interested in!
I realllllyyy wanted an Odin pro. I'd prefer the form factor for a travel device. But the price being so close to a more powerful device like the Steam Deck makes it much less attractive
@@ScatteredBrain If it was slightly more powerful and could do PSP, Gamecube, PS2 more consistently, I'd shell out 350 or more. I'm Q2 for Steam Deck, so will stick with that until something else comes along. Great review though!
I’m a big fan of controller attached to a device but there’s definitely a massive convenience of attaching something like the gamesir to the device you already always have with you anyways!
I commission custom tracks for each of my videos so it’s actually not available to download. I was starting to think about creating a UA-cam channel of just the lo if tracks though!
would love to see settings/setup video would be great i ordered one on 5th and i would like to try the dock so your videos are good lessons on these things lol keep them up also wondering since i ordered the odin pro super pack with everything included and wondering if when i do receive it if ill get everything at once or separate guess ill find out lol
the input lag for N64 emulation on the super dock felt unbearable for me... is there a setting I'm perhaps missing? If anyone has theirs working I'm dying to know how everything is setup. I use M64Plus FZ Pro and it works like a dream undocked but the second everything is plugged in... shambles. I tried an Xbox One Controller, a PS4 controller (wired/wireless both) and an original N64 controller but the input lag just will not go away... I've read somewhere its a common issue among android devices so I may have no options but any pointers is much appreciated!
Hm I wonder if it’s because I actually really wasn’t using Bluetooth controllers. I was testing dock + dock IO, so the GameCube and N64 ports mainly. But I did check the USB ports + controller which worked fine as well
I did in my first impressions of the dock. It does work but it’s kind of annoying to set up. You need to go into the game settings and map which controller goes to which port. The Mupen64 app actually tries to simplify this a bit with kind of an “auto port detection” but it didn’t consistently work for me. But the good thing is I didn’t see any noticeable lag!
How do emulators manage to provide additional screen real-estate to old systems like the SNES? There was nothing being drawn beyond the 4:3 aspect ratio… is it easy to explain?
So this doesn’t just “work out of the box” this was basically a ROM Hack + a pretty powerful Retroarch core (emulator) for SNES to essentially “fast forward” the screen to decide what to show. That’s at least my basic understanding 😅
What a great video!! I received mine Yesterday. I am testing It to make a video review in italian but i cannot manage to turn on LED lights. Any hints to solve the prob?
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻 Have you tried using the toggles in the Odin launcher app? There are options also available in “Odin Settings” also accessible through the Odin Launcher (bottom left)
Can you please tell me if the built in controller is recognized as a usb device on the android system? If so I could use virtual here to remotely connect controller to pc. I know moonlight and steam link can wrap controller as xinput but I prefer using superdisplay for game streaming.
For the issues with control mapping switching, that's really more on the app developers than on AYN. You should also be able to save multiple input configs within the emulators, so you can switch controls with a single tap or two, not have to go through each button again and again. That's a complaint I've seen all over the subreddit and I never really understood why people blamed Ayn/Odin. That's how the emulators work across android and on pc...
Quick question since I can’t seem to find anyone talking about this do I need to get my own Micro SD card and then add my games or does it already come with games or can you just do it right off the Odin? Just need to know this before I spend more money on a card. Thanks.
The Odin doesn’t come with a micro SD card , nor does it come pre-loaded with games or applications. But I would say this is a good thing! It makes their product more legit to not include low quality SD cards or sketchy illegal games 😊
It would depend on specifically which games. Since the entire PS2 and GameCube library won’t run perfect, it all depends. My personal opinion is no - its not worth it… invest in an Ayaneo Next or something that is guaranteed, but its certainly more costly.
Take a look at the Ayn Loki - it's their "answer" to the Steam Deck and the influx of Windows handheld gaming devices. It of course comes at a bit of a premium, but the hypothetical power increase you'll get could be awesome!
Interesting points about the dock. I was planning to order the package with the dock, but now I'm not sure! It would be good for party's to play multiplayer mario games, but idk about the controller setup :|. Thoughts?
If you don’t mind remapping your controllers when going from handheld to docked, and you’re ok with having to figure out the right mapping for your controllers, it’s not AWFUL. I just think it’s a major inconvenience
u complained about aiming in halo infinite, but your input lag was teeeerrible there, I counted 8 frames here (11:50) in between your input, and the response on screen I think your hard time aiming has more to do with the input lag of cloud gaming and less about the analog sticks. Also if it was the analog sticks, u would also have had a hard time aiming at COD mobile edit: for comparison, I counted only 4-5 frames in COD mobile here (11:40), thats pretty much double the input lag, its very noticable
Good observations. That definitely could be the case. I felt like I just didn’t get a great range of motion in Halo / GamePass. I had to turn the sensitivity up in COD Mobile to the max to get it comfortable. I also assume I was one of the few players in the game playing with a controller, so maybe a bit of an advantage 🤔😅
The remapping/external controller thing I think is the biggest hindrance from Switch-level convenience Using an older Snapdragon 845 phone that can use a USB-C dock/HDMI out, and any Bluetooth controller can be more convenient So! I'm hoping AYN or future companies make like, small Snapdragon devices that have Bluetooth/connected controllers, with a dock (aka, a retail hacked Switch)
Wait for skyline emulator be more stable. Then we can emulate some other switch games. I have poco f1. With Snapdragon 845 CPU too. Its good device i can play zelda twilight Princess from gamecube with full FPS. Can play three switch games for now too. But still working free switch emulator Will be overkill and awesome for this device
😂 i always do so many tests I end up playing just a little bit of everything and I haven’t bothered transferring save states between devices. Next video I’ll be farther into SMW 😂
The backround music is to loud and totaly annoying. Its better to Not Use music. Didnot watch it until the end, was definatly to much for me and this backround music Made me headaches
I actually get tracks custom made for the channel. Maybe I liked this one too much that’s why it’s louder 😂. Been considering creating another UA-cam channel just for these Lofi tracks though!
To anyone thinking about getting an odin or loki...don't!!! Ayn just screwed me over bad. Customer service is horrible and rude.. can't keep shipping dates because there only putting out 50 to 0 a day. Take my advice and stay away from AYN!!!!
I just want to let everyone one know, I placed an order for an Odin Lite in Sept 22 and received my order just less than 2 weeks later.
That’s great news! Thanks for the insight! I’m going to pin this comment for others to see!

You should also be able to save multiple input configs within the emulators, so you can switch controls with a single tap or two, not have to go through each button again and again.
That's a complaint I've seen all over the subreddit and I never really understood why people blamed Ayn/Odin. That's how the emulators work across android and on pc...
I think it’s just that it’s something Ayn could streamline but yes I agree this is more on the emulator aspect.
Quick question since I can’t seem to find anyone talking about this do I need to get my own Micro SD card and then add my games or does it already come with games or can you just do it right off the Odin? Just need to know this before I spend more money on a card. Thanks.
The Odin doesn’t come with a micro SD card , nor does it come pre-loaded with games or applications. But I would say this is a good thing! It makes their product more legit to not include low quality SD cards or sketchy illegal games 😊
whenever i tried this with the same emu/settings my widescreen SMW ran suuuuper slow. not sure why. Any other options i should change?
There is an issue with the links. All leads to 400gb card only...
All fixed! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Just want one for PS2 and GameCube games. Is it worth it?
It would depend on specifically which games. Since the entire PS2 and GameCube library won’t run perfect, it all depends. My personal opinion is no - its not worth it… invest in an Ayaneo Next or something that is guaranteed, but its certainly more costly.
Same bro I look something that run 100% Dreamcast 100% play station 2 100% Nintendo 64
Any model Available?
Do you mind telling me where I can find Citra MMJR?
I would like to purchase something better what do you recommend? Should I wait 3 mont more maybe for new release?
Take a look at the Ayn Loki - it's their "answer" to the Steam Deck and the influx of Windows handheld gaming devices. It of course comes at a bit of a premium, but the hypothetical power increase you'll get could be awesome!
I was wondering if the Odin would fit in a Nintendo dock. No right?
Unfortunately not!
How soon can would I get one if I was to place a order does anyone know?
Interesting points about the dock. I was planning to order the package with the dock, but now I'm not sure! It would be good for party's to play multiplayer mario games, but idk about the controller setup :|. Thoughts?
If you don’t mind remapping your controllers when going from handheld to docked, and you’re ok with having to figure out the right mapping for your controllers, it’s not AWFUL. I just think it’s a major inconvenience
6500mAh? I thought it was 6600mAh.
You’re right! I’ll pin a comment to correct this. Thanks for watching!
The dock, although a good idea, is disappointingly unacceptable
will odin goes sales (discount) in future?
Hard to say. Probably not for a while. The device just came out at the beginning of this year and they still haven’t shipped to all backers yet.
steam link, gloud gaming, xbox pass working all??thx
u complained about aiming in halo infinite, but your input lag was teeeerrible there, I counted 8 frames here (11:50) in between your input, and the response on screen
I think your hard time aiming has more to do with the input lag of cloud gaming and less about the analog sticks. Also if it was the analog sticks, u would also have had a hard time aiming at COD mobile
edit: for comparison, I counted only 4-5 frames in COD mobile here (11:40), thats pretty much double the input lag, its very noticable
Good observations. That definitely could be the case. I felt like I just didn’t get a great range of motion in Halo / GamePass. I had to turn the sensitivity up in COD Mobile to the max to get it comfortable. I also assume I was one of the few players in the game playing with a controller, so maybe a bit of an advantage 🤔😅
Can you share your COD Mobile on screen setting setup?
what is the HD texture pack in use for ocarina of time?
Probably just better to wait for the steamdeck, more people will tinker it to run emulators better and better
Where can I get this?!
Check out their IndieGoGo. It’s available as an InDemand item. So shipping may be delayed but you can still get your order in!
Wait, the odin is always on even when you use the dock ?
No I did that just for the video, you can set it to turn the screen off when docked in the settings
@@ScatteredBrain Thanks a lot for your answear, I think I'll buy it when I've saved up enough money.
The remapping/external controller thing I think is the biggest hindrance from Switch-level convenience
Using an older Snapdragon 845 phone that can use a USB-C dock/HDMI out, and any Bluetooth controller can be more convenient
So! I'm hoping AYN or future companies make like, small Snapdragon devices that have Bluetooth/connected controllers, with a dock (aka, a retail hacked Switch)
Please play dead cells on the Odin
Wait for skyline emulator be more stable. Then we can emulate some other switch games. I have poco f1. With Snapdragon 845 CPU too. Its good device i can play zelda twilight Princess from gamecube with full FPS. Can play three switch games for now too. But still working free switch emulator Will be overkill and awesome for this device
Switch on the Odin would be awesome!! 🤞🏻
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
“Maybe I’ll finally play it past the first level.”
You wot m8?
😂 i always do so many tests I end up playing just a little bit of everything and I haven’t bothered transferring save states between devices. Next video I’ll be farther into SMW 😂
Music Is too loud ad voiceover Is not clear
Background music is too loud.
Noted for future videos 😅 thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Music is too loud,voice too low
I can't find citra MMJR. Just MMJ.
You can get it on GitHub! You just need to find the APK
MEGA MAN LEGENDS!!!
The backround music is to loud and totaly annoying. Its better to Not Use music. Didnot watch it until the end, was definatly to much for me and this backround music Made me headaches
Thanks for the feedback. Lower music. Noted 😊
$3,500 is a bit much for something that can't even emulate a PS2 perfectly. I think people overvalue portability.
What’s the name of the beautiful lofi track in the background? Lol
I actually get tracks custom made for the channel. Maybe I liked this one too much that’s why it’s louder 😂. Been considering creating another UA-cam channel just for these Lofi tracks though!
Music way too loud. Super distracting.
My god the music is so annoying, and too loud!
Change the music please!!
To anyone thinking about getting an odin or loki...don't!!! Ayn just screwed me over bad. Customer service is horrible and rude.. can't keep shipping dates because there only putting out 50 to 0 a day. Take my advice and stay away from AYN!!!!
7:09 2 different games
! Good catch haha. I meant cortex strikes back 😂
The chipset is weak for it's price. You can get a phone with much better specs on cheaper and then turn it an emulation beast.
Well now that the Ayn Odin 2 has been announced we’ll see what that looks like!
I found your background music to be incredibly annoying.
Noted 🎶🎼🎵🎸
