Odin 2 base model is 200 plus dollars cheaper with way better battery life and actually portable. Steam deck is alright if you just stay near a wall outlet all the time though. 😂

As someone who bought a blue Pro model about two months, I've been absolutely amazed by this device. Jumping from the Retroid Pocket Flip to the Odin 2 has been night and day. No settings touched outside of switch and I threw dozens of games at each systems you can emulate on the thing, all of it ran flawlessly at 1080p and full speed. Hell, all of my switch library is running amazingly as well!!! This thing was well worth the purchase imo

I must say I really enjoy the games you showcase in your video's, more then anyone eles. Thx for all the work you put into these I really appreciate you.

Love these showcases and appreciate the links in the description 🔥

Great video, thanks for the driver tips.

And there are still several things missing from the Android version of Yuzu. Not to mention that the developers of the turnip mesa drivers are going to focus this 2024 to the 7xx series (not to be so slow and stability). This is definitely going to be a good year for odin 2.

honestly crazy to see batman run better on a handheld than how i played it way back when i had a shitty pc

Great video man! Btw, refering to that correlation between distorted audio with some games: from my personal experience I think that anytime that you change from a game to another without closing every open application from the Android multitasking menu, the games you are about to play just have worst performance and audio gets distorted most of the time. So from now on I totally close Yuzu anytime I wanna play another game, and the next time I open the app the game goes flawless even MarioKart! Can someone tell me if this happens to him too?

2 ай бұрын

The base is probably enough for everything you want to do. I went with the base but I actually regret it. Not for ram actually since I haven’t run into an issue where I didn’t have enough ram. But for $70 more I could have gotten double the internal storage. With the size of these texture packs (which must be installed in internal) that makes a big difference. Especially with how annoying it is to move them into dolphin. I can save textures for Ps2 on the SD and move them to internal when I want to use them. So that’s how I’ve been doing it. But the pro would have made it much easier for me. But. If you don’t care about custom textures for PS2, GameCube, and Wii. Then the base should be fine.

I thought we could only use the generic Turnip drivers - can we use the others? They say "Broken on 7/8 gen 2" Can you clarify?
