I will say one thing: Switch emulation can be popular because it allows people to apply mods to their games! To do that on an actual Switch, you either need a very, very early iteration of the Switch for a physical exploit, or to pay out the nose to add a modchip.

You need a modded switch to emulate and get support so. Seems worth it to me!, plus v1 switch consoles are super cheap nowadays

What's kind of being neglected in terms of information about this device is that the 450 something dollar model comes with 512 gigabytes of storage and a micro SD card slot. This has all the internals of Galaxy s23 Ultra minus camera and phone for damn near $800 less... For an Android device that is pretty damn impressive 512 GB of storage 16 GB of RAM and a snapdragon 8 gen 2.. All things that you cannot find together in a device around $450

How did you get the ps2?

At 53 years old, I'm a novice when it comes to emulation. I have a couple of Anbernic devices and had ordered an Odin 2 pro. I cancelled my order not because of the price, but because I wasn't sure if I would have a device that would do what I wanted to do. Which is retro emulation and Android games. A dedicated android device just for game is appealing to me. I ended up woth the Retroid Pocket 3+. It's the perfect device for learning emulation. Im just disappointed that it says Diablo Immortal isn't compatible with my device. I am still looking to get an Odin 2. I think it's a great device overall.

was waiting for your odin 2 video for a while now, awesome

Totally on board with the Switch emulation thoughts. When I was in school I totally would have been tweaking on it for hours "because I can" even if I had a Switch. But now that I'm in my 30s and have too much stuff to do, I just want to play games and not waste time screwing around making things work. I pretty much play all Nintendo games on real Nintendo hardware because everything else so far is a compromise. A real Switch just works, and everything I've seen/tried so far for DS emulation is so much worse than just using a DS. I do have some of my PS2 and GameCube collection on my Steam Deck for convenience and if I don't want to go to the TV. Something like this would be cool for something smaller and lighter, and way longer battery life if you're not planning on playing bigger PC games on the go.

@@pistolao_vr Who's going to game on a handheld for more than a 2 to 3 hour session anyway? The Steam Deck gets anywhere from 3-7 hours of battery life whenever emulating games (dependant on emulator). It's not exactly what I class as being an insufficient amount for most people. Hell, access to being able to play AAA PC games, having a fully functional PC and being able to play 80% of Switch games fairly flawlessly on the Steam Deck (far more so than on the Odin), is in itself probably worth paying out an extra $150-$200 for those privileges. However, the fact that the 256GB LCD Steam Deck can now be picked up for £100 less than the Aya Odin 2 here in the UK, just turns the whole decision, into an instant "no brainer". Hell, you could even pick up a Retroid Pocket 2S alongside that Steam Deck and still come in under the £450 price of a Aya Odin 2. The Odin 2 is just too expensive for what it is. If it was a £250 - £300 handheld, then it would be one hell of a good deal and likely a must buy. However at £450 it just gets outclassed and bitch slapped by both the Steam Deck and the Z1 Ally, which are both in the same ballpark on price. BTW, I've also got a feeling the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro due out next month for $200, will make the Odin 2 look terrible in comparison (around 75% it's performance for well under half the cost)

This is to play in bed, on the plane, on the couch or in the backyard. I have never had an issue. Steam has the largest game library that has ever existed, that's where value is.

I have a (LCD) Steam Deck and mostly recently a used Retroid 3+. I stopped buying consoles at about the PS3 stage (didn't play this one that much) and play far less than I used to. I play mostly emulated gameboy Tetris (90%) of the time. The rest of the time I will play Mr Driller (Dreamcast), Zookeeper (android) and Baku Baku animal (Saturn). The last one has been the most challenging to emulate but works on my current machines. The screen retroid is a bit small whilst the Stem deck is bulky to take travelling. I was considering an Odin 2. I noticed that my phone (Galaxy fold 5 ) has the same chipset as the Odin 2. I inserted into a gamesir x2 controller, but Baku baku animal would go black when rotating to fit into the gamesir. I was fiddling with the Yaba 2 app and chose openGL instead of vulkan and lo and behold, Bakubaku works with the rotated screen. I might not get an Odin 2 after all.

Hello there! Hope y'all are having a great day so far 🙂. If I could buy the odin at a store, with a warranty, I'd be all over it.

But ya... if logitech gets one with better performance, or razer gets one with a better screen/body I'll almost certainly upgrade.

I also had a good experience buying the original ayn odin pro.

The Switch lacking game saves on the carts themselves or offering a way to put saves onto an SD card is enough reason alone for me to dump and play my Switch on devices like my Steam Deck. I can go between an amazing upscaled higher FPS game with mods to remove dynamic scaling or blur on my desktop or laptop and then play it on the PC handhelds with an experience similar if not better than the switch hardware and it's super easy to manage your saves.

There’s a few games that don’t support cloud saves. All the main Pokémon switch games among them. I’m assuming in part to prevent the ability to dupe monster by trading, closing software, restoring from cloud. It’s frustrating that this was two companies solution to prevent duping in their monster collection games. Especially when you might actually need to restore a save for any legitimate reason.

Great review. I think what you get for your money is worth it. Yet get a (somewhat) portable unit that can (for the most part) play everything up to PS2 and some Switch. The benefit I'm seeing here is the "load emulator and play" and getting full frames. I have a 405M and while I like the design, I do find the screen to a bit too small and PS2 emulation is iffy. I'm going to upgrade to this because I will have the comfort knowing it will play everything I want and its portable (just not pocketable) which is fine for me.

I don't see it as particularly practical for on the go gaming. It is more powerful though and will play "modern" PC games. It's more suited to gaming on the couch or somewhere like a hotel room or a relative's house. The Odin on the other hand is smaller, quieter, and has a better battery life. In my opinion, it's right on the edge of practicality for gaming on the go. It's large, but still small enough that it's not a chore to take it with you when you're on the go. It's perfect if you just want to play some N64 or Gamecube games while you're out of the house. It just depends on what you want. Personally, I wish I could get something with the power of the Odin 2, but in the footprint of a 3DS XL. Something you could reasonably fit in your pocket. I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon though, so I might just pick up the Odin 2 or the pro version.

I think the only appealing aspect of having a console like this that can also do switch is that you don't have to mod a switch to do similar; and I feel like game wise, you'd want to do it to be able to run modded or hacked games. Animal Crossing is one good example with a pretty good modding scene, but Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl has an amazing one. Because it was created in Unity, fans have been able to do all kinds of stuff to the game from fixing following pokemon, bugs, and removing the chibi-artstyle, to adding in every single pokemon across every generation including Scarlet and Violet, and adding back stuff like Mega Evolutions (as well as silly stuff like "play as kirby"). It's very cool to have that as something you can turn and play on the go... (but also kind of sad the game couldn't do all this stuff already). It really seems like Pokemon BDSP is going to become the future Pokemon Fire Red in terms of creating hacked games and fan projects.

But I definitely love the idea of upscaling PS2 and NGC games, and even use a handheld as a console to plug to TV: that's the main reason why I would consider an Odin2 (and also because it seems great with controls and ergonomics). However, I totally agree: price is an issue, and there's the Steam Deck just at the corner. Having something slightly less powerful, just to have 1080p PS2 without Switch emulation, around 250$ maybe, and in a smaller form factor, is what I would seriously consider (Retroid Pocket 4 hopefully).

The only reason I can commend switch emulation is being able to play the same games at a better quality. In my case, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate can run at 60fps when emulated vs the locked 30 just by using a cheat code. some other games do the same.

This is one of those things I would think about buying if I didn't already own a Galaxy S23 FE and a Galaxy TAB S9 Ultra which, especially both are very capable at emulation and Dockable to my TV, so it's like having a Switch for retro games and android games

Yeah I ended getting the razer edge 5g loving it but that fat 32 4 gig storage limit is killing me lol

I have a question for all of you knowledgeable emulation people. When do you think the next version of the retroid pocket would be dropping? I was looking at the rp3+ and the rg405m (which I was gonna choose) but then realized both are about a year old now and idk if it would be wiser to wait for a new version that handles gamecube a little better

Us customers definitely know when a product we have no relation to will be coming out. It's coming out tomorrow. Believe me because I'm knowledgeable with emulation.

I could be wrong, and nothing official is out yet, but Retroid dropped a teaser for the rp4 over thanksgiving. Just a pic saying "What are you thankful 4?" So I would expect some info early 2024. As to when its out, total guess, but late 2024... 😊

​@@Cavo1526 of course nobody knows for sure but that's the kind of info I was hoping for. I've been watching emulation videos for only around 3 weeks so I thought there would be some pattern in the release dates since there are more than 3 versions of the rp already. Thanks a lot ❤

I think it is really easy for one to take the high-route on emulation and piracy when they get half their devices free and the price of games and consoles is not even close to an issue at their salaries.

I've never noticed before, but Bob's audio levels were all over the place in this video. I blame my new phone, having different speakers than I'm used to.

I just want an OLED steamdeck to make an arcade like yours. I already got an 8bitdo arcade stick 😎 and the 8bitdo keyboard as well to play typing of the dead.

does odin still works like an android phone? has play store? can browse web and do facebook/youtube?

Doesn't the steam deck do the job better? Should I buy this?

i watch wulffden videos for the sponsored ads

Damn man I’m new to this . I want a handheld so bad , one that I can play heroic games on the go . Not just streaming at home . Yet I don’t want some big emulater. What is the perfect handheld

one thing thats nice about nintendo switch emulation is that games play better, example being pkmn sword and shield run terrible on the switch but emulated on pc they run great

emulating indies is only ok if you actually buy it. ive never used any steam software, but own multiple titles just to support some projects ive played 😅

I gotta get the Ayn Odin 1 and 2

Bob is right. I am just a fun little silly guy havin' a little goof.

Ok I have a question how well does Tony hawk American wasteland play for GameCube on these types of devices??? It’s one of the more harder games to play on gamecube

I've been wanting to get a retro handheld for a while now and just keep putting it off as don't want to bite the bullet and buy one that's too cheap or too dear. I have a switch but don't really play it, also have a modded PS Vita but just want 1 handheld that does it all including up to PS2 and possibly some switch games. Thing is I'm not great with tech and I'd be afraid if I soent that type of money, would I even know what to do after I get it. I've always wanted a handheld that holds all my favourite retro games from NES right up to PS2 and switch. Should I get the AYN Odin 2 or pro ??? What you think ???

The point this review is missing when comparing the Odin to a Steam Deck or other X86-handheld ist battery life and portability. The odin 2 weighs 35% less than the Steam Deck, is way smaller and has much better battery life. Hall-Effect sticks come on top. Switch emulation on Android is still in its infancy but the fact that as of writing the Odin 2 can handle Mario Kart, Mario Odyssey, Animal Crossing and basically any Indie Game flawlessly is remarkable. in a year or so it will basically be an adequate replacement for a switch. Without stick drift. The max variant of the Odin is too expensive, indeed, the pro model for 369 bucks might be the best deal in tech for emulation fans right now. By the way I love RetroGameCorps;-)

Can you show how to play old pc Games (PC 9800) like visual novels on the Odin 2 pro? Maybe with winlater or exagear?

After playing with my odim 2 for a week now i can tell you it needs work. For one mine has slow download speeds, also when i try to pull menu down to see download progress or any other progress it does not work, its buggy and feels like an unfinished product. Im kind of wishing i would have waited for the pocket S or something.

Already got an Odin and a Steam Deck plus a gaming phone, but I still want an Odin 2 for android games. My Redmagic handles android gaming just fine, but I really want something with physical buttons.

All I wanted was a power house ps2 emulation and maybe some GameCube games. And switch emulating is just a plus. This is perfect. I just have to wait several weeks.

It's not a long wait, I ordered mine and received it in 12 days

I bought the Odin 2 Max and I love it. The latest Yuzu with turnip drivers and NCE on gives better performance for switch.

I mean with the size of it, it's more of a true handheld than the Switch. It looks like something I could actually tuck away in my pocket instead of having a extra accessory specifically for it like a bag or carrying case. The Switch Lite was such a waste of potential. They could've made something much smaller and maybe even have given it a nice clamshell design. You can technically take the Switch on the go, but it's nothing like a 3DS or a PSP. Unless you have really big pants, your Switch isn't going to fit in your pocket, especially with Joycons attached.

Wulff you should do an update video. They've patched a lot of stuff and apparently with just the base model you can do crazy stuff and you have a max and pro
