As always, a long video, very informative, with well timed transitions, fun and to the point the entire time. Love your videos.
Russ a huge thank you for your amazing work and coverage of the Odin, the refresh rate fix alone is gold. I can't wait for your full setup guide!
Bless this man for testing Shadow Hearts. I wish more people still knew about this series
Nice I'm looking forward to Penny Blood which is the same people who did Shadow Hearts.
I was struggling with the right analog stick for COD mobile for a while and I realized at some point you had mentioned something to that affect... So I re-watched this video and you explained it perfectly. Thanks man! Keep up the good work! Kudos from the UAE.
So many options on what to play. What a time to be alive. I was on the fence about getting this but not anymore.
> What a time to be alive.
The character who say such things in a movie usually dies soon after.
This video is highly appreciated! I will refer to this when I finally (hopefully) get my Pro in two or three months. Thank you for your work!
Oh my god, THANK YOU for your hard and great work! These tipps are great ❤
You showed Eternal Darkness, Shadow Hearts and Champions of Norrath! I really appreciate it, THANKS!
I'm so jazzed that you showed a bit of Silent Hill 2. Thanks!
In my circles back in the day, the Silent Hill and Twisted Metal series were major staples, so adult-me is consistently surprised that they're not the first tests for everyone.
I would have shown more SH2 but that game still freaks me out so I turned it off :D
The more in depth look at games and stuff
Looking forward to this one, and maybe even get some ideas of how to configure my Odin, and totally looking forward to the start up guide
Your startup guide for the RGB Max 2 was very helpful
Thank you for testing Shadow Hearts! I tried it on the RP2+ and battles worked great but everything else...well...
Let's just say it's exciting to see how well it plays on this device!
Thank you for doing very informative Odin videos 😊🙏
Fantastic work! Love the new jam and hot tips.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this video. Great work as always.
Also, just for clarification purposes, according to s1ngyy (one of the windows on odin devs), the odin display is not actually refreshing at 61hz. It's refreshing at 60hz, but the software is reporting 1 extra hz for some technical reason I didn't quite understand.
Some applications will just work fine with this arrangement, but other applications need to be manually set to the reported screen refresh rate, or they will stutter (bloodstained ritual of the night for instance, does not have the option to set the refresh rate, so it stutters a bit)
I wonder if there's a way to make the software report accurate.
Lastly, the retroarch fix presented in the video makes the sound pitch just a bit higher. It's not the end of the world, but it's worth noting it for people that cares about accurate sound emulation.
Anyway, I am really excited about the odin! These are only small things I wanted to point out
Just subscribed! Can't wait for your starter guide for the Odin. I have mine coming hopefully within the next couple of weeks.
Man, I have been struggling with debating if I should get one of these or wait a little bit longer and pony up the extra money for a steam deck. Both seem like great devices, with great value and bang for your buck.
if this was a little cheaper I would consider getting it
for this price though it makes more sense to me to just get a steam deck since it should be able to emulate virtually everything
@@cat-tn5rt YUP that is Exactly my train of thought Especially since I already have a modded switch and a modded Vita
@@cat-tn5rt that’s how I’m feeling. My only concern is that the steam deck has that steam OS. So I’m worried how difficult or how many hoops I’m gonna have to jump through to get a retro emulator setup going without ruining the steam os. I don’t wanna have to setup a dual boot or whatever. Maybe there’s a way to get all these to run from steam itself or something.
@@brianbaugusmusic I'm sure people will jailbreak it Or hack it whatever the kids are calling at these days mod it
@@VSMOKE1 yeah but that requires a bunch of tinkering and relying on devs to work on various projects and to keep supporting them with updates all that. Personally I’m a guy who prefers it if things just work natively without jailbreaking/modding. But who knows, the software experience side of things for the Steam Deck is still under NDA, so once that lifts I’m sure channels like LTT or others will go big into how it all works and what’s possible. Really just holding out for those videos to come out to solidify which device I’m gonna get.
I am very tempted you made me question getting the Steam Deck but that's why I love you channel always amazing content and always very detailed keep it up man.
Mine arrives Oct 24th. I'm pumped!!
From the creators that brought you "Yeah man, I wanna do it" this summer, be ready to experience "Yo-Yo effect"
wow, awesome about listening to music in the background too... that's a cool feature!
It is nice! There are a couple other nice features that I didn't showcase, like Night Light mode which warms the screen for playing in the dark -- makes it much easier on the eyes, too.
Thanks for the helpful guide! I will have to check back once I receive the system in the mail.
Thank you very much for your Work. I still waiting for Miyoo Mini, but ayn Odin is really a beast. I will soon buy the Odin Base Device.
Greetings from Germany
Great showcase! 17:14 With the latest dolphin build (not sure if it applies to the version you're using) the fast "in game settings" are saved to the specific game that you change it for.You don't need to go back and long press the game and change the settings there.
7/11/22. Ordered an Odin Pro thanks to your videos. 😁👍
Love the intro music!! I haven’t even got into the review yet :-)
Nice setting man
Wow, you just blew my mind with the retro achievements. I had no idea this existed! Also, great heads up about not being able to invert the screen overlay y-axis, I have always played inverted & could never get used to playing non-inverted. Hopefully there will be some patch for this later.
Waiting on this in the mail. Watching this for the 3rd time. Im brand new to emulation.
I can't wait to get mine. I ordered it a couple weeks ago.
did you get it since
Thanks for this! Are you planning on putting these results (and others) on the community spreadsheet? I was bummed when I saw Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 in your library and didn't get to see how it played.
If you are willing to doing more GC/Wii/PS2 gameplay videos, I would GREATLY appreciate it!
best intro song yet
Anyone noticed that move from Luigi at 6:20 😂
Good Review and the taste of your Games is superb 🙃
I love you so much for showcasing Shadow Hearts on the PS2 emulation. I was looking for that everywhere.
You're not alone
Another amazing video! Thanks for showing us how you organized your apps for us messy horders. I think launch box and the reset collections will be my front ends that I will try and use as much as possible for most of my emulators. BTW, since this is an android device, have you tried, using the auto sync app? I find it very versatile with storing saves and saves states in the cloud for all my emulators? This dawned to me as a useful tool after watching your webarcade video
Excellent! Thank you so much
Excellent choice of Pinegrove for music:)
Thanks Russ brilliant as usual.👍👍👍
Hey Russ, I finally received my Odin, so walking back through the videos. Great content, as always! Do you still plan on doing a setup guide for the Odin? I always appreciate your guides as they are super easy to follow and might include steps that I haven't thought of. Thanks again!
How does it feel is it heavy how do the buttons feel
It's so cool that the second it's arrived you can just automatically play it. It's so cool
This is a very interesting device, really thinking about getting one.
Yo I didn’t know changing these settings would work for GC stuff really appreciate it!
Millions and millions of people like you and I use inverted controls! It was the default in the olden days.
Yes, for a good reason.
This mistake does not fit with the otherwise very thought-through concept of the device.
AYN should urgently correct this per firmware.
I used to play a ton of Ace Combat and other flying games back in the day before FPS took off. "Inverted" controls are the only way to fly, pun intended. Games without this option are basically unplayable for me.
I’m with you on the right stick inversion, Russ.
The emulation tip of the century!
Such an amazing device.
like the new intro song :)
Nice video man
Thanks so much for this video man (and for testing Shadow Hearts!). Is there a chance that you'll do a video showing how you setup your Odin? I love your front page layout 👍
Thanks for this review. It does really help me configure my Odin that I recently received. I was wondering if there is an eta on the Odin guide? Keep up the good work.
These videos continue to be epic. 🤘🏻🤘🏻Can i make a request for the Startup Guide? And future guides like for the Steam Deck?… I’ll take that as a yes. It would be really helpful if you included info for Mac users, like you did with the 351 p/m/v. That’s of course if it’s even possible to set up one of these devices with a Mac…
Thanks Russ
Omg ty for showing sly Cooper. I e been wanting to play those games again.
I can't stop looking your "Chicken Scars"... Nice Review again!!
Thank you for your video! It would be great if Ayn could fix the ABXY-swapping issue in mapping mode.
Dig is my favourite front end on Android. The Theme feature even changes UI so it be made to look the way you want. Highly recommend.
Daijisho is better
Fingers crossed for more ODIN videos!!!!!!!
Wow, respect for showing shadow hearts!
Love the new intro music!
In arc browser, you can change how each game list works, like grid or scroll like hyperspin.
Just got my Odin lite 🔥🔥🔥
Great video! Do I want to get this device? Yeah, man. I wanna do it.
You da real mvp
One of the issues with inverting the C stick horizontal axis for Wind Waker is that when you need to use the Wind Waker and play the melodys, the directions are also inverted. I found that just forcing myself to readjust to the default caused less headaches in the long run.
It’s been 20 years, this old brain is not adjusting. I’ll just play the Wind Waker backwards when I get to that point! ☺️
Special Thanks 🙂
I think one of my favorite things about this device is that even if you were an ultimate speedrunner and could get the top times in every single one of these games this device could emulate you'd still have so many games that it would last you quite some time to play through them all meaning that this device is so good at emulation that you there is more than enough options to find a game you like and that is awesome :D
Totally, this feels more like a "complete package" device than any other that I own. Lots to keep me occupied for years, or until the next big device comes out :)
@@RetroGameCorps That's the word I was looking for, a "complete package" is exactly what it feels like :D I agree. True. I'm waiting on the Steam Deck for my complete package device but I really like this as it's a lot lighter and realistically this will play all the games I could ever need it to so I'm tempted to get one lol
The odin looks nice, but it's slightly too big. I want it a bit more pocketable, and a bit more powerful if I'm going to let it replace my vita as a daily device. How is the dpad? Good for retro games? Because the vita dpad is godly for platformers and metroidvanias. Honestly...I want one of these with the vita sticks, and just a slightly larger screen. Give it 5g and I'll pay 1k
One thing I haven't seen on many Odin reviews is MAME or Final Burn Alpha tests...I figure it can blaze through those, but would be nice to see how to optimally configure those arcade games.
They'll probably play at full speed out of the box without the need of any special configuration
Another great video! Thank you for taking the time to make this. I know how long and painful editing can be! Do you plan on showing us how to install Windows on this device in the future? I'd like to use this as a productivity PC.
Windows for this doesn't have a public release yet
It's something I will consider, but I'm wary of flashing a new OS on my device when I only have one right now!
@@vicariouschism86 The advertised Windows support is through the Renegade Project. You can already use it, just doesn't have support for the gamepad. Don't know when or if it'll ever work.
Having seen this on other channels, to me it looks like running windows on it is more a gimmick than a true feature. It doesn't have a keyboard and most applications run terribly on it from what I've seen. There isn't a lot of ARM optimisation in the windows world, so getting the native android app is the far better option 99.9% of the time.
Hi Russ, thank you for great video and the tips. I notice the fan sound are loud in gamecube section. Does it because the higg performance mode turned on ? Is it required to be always on when playing gamecube / wii / ps2 in 2x res to get decent performance ?
Probably already been said, but I have found it useful to set the hotkey to toggle frame limiter in AetherSX2 to one of the back buttons, so I can pop it on in those games which have a weird patch of slowdown
I ordered one. Mainly want it for Android games, so great to see how well genshin runs in it! Hopefully the other games i play run just as well!
Could you by chance show you would configure the wii remote so you could use the Odin instead please.
"I use inverted controls on the Y axis"
Madman! I daresay, sociopathic!
Thanks for playing Billy Hatcher.
Pinegrove, very nice!
Are you still going to do an Odin setup guide or did it just get rolled into the Android one?
I did not know that GeForce Now was so awesome! that seems like an great streaming option. Can't wait to try it out!
It is really nice, I need to show it more often in videos. The only downside is that free accounts are limited to 1-hour play sessions, although you can have multiple sessions in one day.
oh, weird. 1 hr play session?
And with the premium ($10/mo) its still only 6 hr play sessions..
May be something i will have to decide between Xbox games pass streaming OR Nvidia Streaming.
@@JaegunnVids yeah Game Pass is definitely a better deal if you don’t own any games, but if you have a large PC library (and don’t have a nice PC), GFN seems like a great deal.
Does that Odin Launcher support supplied banner art like ATV Launcher does? (I've spent time making mine look beautiful for apps & games, and I'd be bummed using that Odin launcher instead if it didn't, even if the slide out options on left/right are really handy)
Inverted Y axis gang! I thought I was the only one left. Keep us (all 2 of us on earth) updated if this changes! 😝
Still the best retro handheld on the market.
Hey Russ would you suggest a person with very limited experience in system tweaks and adjustments buy this system. It definitely doesn’t seem like a plug and play option, at least to make it perform at its best potential
i like how the games play in 720p vs 1080p because once you start getting to high res it starts to show it's age, but at 720p it looks a bit more like it was suppose to on the older tv's.
I like this device
I have a love/hate relationship with the odin.
I love the size, the feel, the Design and the fact that the system runs on android.
I hate the mixed results for ps2 and specially gamecube. I bought this device for finally playing my gamecube collection portable and that doesnt work properly without adjust the settings for each game individually.
I have to admit, i don't have the time and patience for that.
It should take one year more when i purchased the Asus Rog Ally to finally do this.
Anyway, thanks for your tips and the detailed settings.👍
Hey Russ. Thanks for de value tips. I appreciate. Let me ask you something, the compression feature of de dolphin, for space otimization works just fine with de games and settings for a smoth game play? Have you ever use this feature
Hey!! Do you plan on putting out a full setup guide?
did Russ ever release the Odin starter guide he mentions working on in the video? I've had my Odin for over a month but I'm such a android noob I feel a little lost.
Outstanding video!!! I want this AYN Odin so bad but I reserved a Steam deck. I think its going to come down to portability and price.
Also the Steam deck should emulate up to PS3 and XBox360.
Problem is the same with all emulators. None of them are 100% capable of emulating anything
Now that devices are using 5ghz wifi, can you test local network retro game netplay? (RetroArch, PPSSPP, etc).
I understand you probably only have one Odin. Maybe use the Odin to host and a Android phone as player 2 to simulate what 2 Odins might be like.
I just snagged the Odin Pro 256 Super Pack for less than $400! 😍
I've seen a lot of muppets with an Odin make GC showcases using the official dolphin build or not using any of the hacks that you'd need to get some of these games working on almost any phone. It's refreshing to see a handheld UA-camr actually understand the importance of this. On a side note, I tried Launchbox on my 2+ and the startup times were 20-30 seconds. Very annoying, and it pushed me into using DIG. How has your experience with LB startup times been on the Odin, and how many games do you have in your build? Thanks
Could be people used to dolphin on desktop, the official one there works really well even on low end stuff.
@@bulletpunch9317 I'm specifically talking about UA-camrs who are in the handheld space and still don't know better than to use dolphin forks.
@@boothman9321 oh man that sucks
I'd like to see the difference between running a PAL version and running a NA version of a game.
I REALLY want to get an Odin, but I also kinda want a Steam Deck. I can't really wrap my head or my pocket around getting both. I really wish that I could get the Odin from Amazon, test it out for 30 days, then send it back if it doesn't fit all of my emulation needs.
I see that cat scratch on your finger! were currently matching
No wii controls.?
Apart from that very enjoyable video.
Thank you Russ.
Thanks for adding Steamlink. Just a clarification: I can’t run Moonlight, because my PC doesn’t have a Nvidia GPU, but instead runs on an AMD APU, so Steam-streaming only works over Steamlink. Good to see that the performance is ok-ish.
Overall yet another great video. Can’t wait for the next one.
Amd has their own version of moonlight.
@@ransacked oh really? I didn’t know it
You can use AMD Link for its Moonlight equivalent, of the Sunshine app to run Moonlight on AMD. I also have an AMD GPU on my primary PC! Check out my Moonlight video - it’s made for handhelds but the setup process is the same. If you want the best quality, it’s worth your time to try Moonlight via the Sunshine app.
@@RetroGameCorps 🤩
@@RetroGameCorps Ok, i was just trying to figure out AMD Link. It seems, like it's not working out of the box with my APU (3400G) and the latest drivers. I can connect my phone over the app with my pc, but in the app i get an error message ("ReLive not found"), neither do I get to see the "Record and Stream" options. There seems to be a workaround, installing and 2019 readeon overlay ... and do things. Well, although I consider the sunshine/moonlight solution working (good video, somehow missed it) I stay at Steamlink, it just works out of the box, without any hassle.
Hey man, what's the name of the purple and blue live wallpaper you're using? Thanks in advance!
Not sure if anyone has let you know of if you have discovered this letter, but you can reverse the right stick in the mapping settings, just scroll down on the menu after choosing the change view mode 👍
Yes, it’s something they added to an update a few months ago, it’s awesome!
I have an Odin Pro, is Reset Collection an interface with Emulators and games pre-installed 🤔
Very interesting video by the way
Should I get one of these or just stick with my Galaxy Tab S6 + telescopic controller? I love the screen on my tablet, but the controller is a little unwieldy. This thing looks like the perfect size. I also saw you showed footage of Skies of Arcadia Legends. Does it run at full speed?
I'd like to see a comparison of ArcBrowser to DIG and Launch Box.
Russ what do you recommend for arcade games on the Odin? Am I better going for RA (Mame of FBN core) or something like Mame4droid? I’m coming from a Linux based handheld so Android emulation is new to me. Any help is much appreciated.
Hey Russ, as an RG552 owner, I couldn't hold off of buying an Odin. As I wait, I was wondering how you are managing these two handhelds as now it feels like I rush to get the RG552 and may not have as much of a need for it anymore. Thanks for all your videos!
Save the RG552 as a backup for when your Odin runs out of battery.
