AYN Odin 2 Review: This Changes Everything!

[@KeiRetroGaming]

What are your thoughts on the Odin 2? Are you planning to get one? (Updates below) -A few people have mentioned that my video gameplay appears stuttery, but this is likely attributed to the camera I'm using or a potential issue on KZbin. There was no stuttering in the actual games. -AYN has fixed the charging issue with the Baseus Power Bank. -There have been 2 updates since posting my video, further reducing input latency.

[@hendrickchan]

What's the name of your theme?

[@khzz90]

I'm not sure yet. The dpad seems to be too low for me. I wait till they announce the rp4 and then I decide. But everthing else about the odin 2 is really tempting

It was mentioned in a couple other reviewers videos that the FPS counter Odin 2 came with is very inaccurate.

i got mine with shipping for $300 on black friday. I hope it comes next week. getting roms ready now

[@aweirdwombat]

I wanted a much cheaper device but the moment I saw how well this handled the era of gaming I miss the most, like PS2 and GameCube, I knew I had to have it.

Absolutely epic review that covers everything... Thank you for going so in-depth, super excited to get mine next month!

[@epicjuicebox]

I just ordered one. Can't wait to break it out! Excellent review!

[@haziee3108]

Would love to see a comparison between the Odin 2 and Loki Zero, especially because the Loki has Jellos now, making it's emulation capabilities a lot more impressive and versatile, capable of doing up to PS3 and Wii U/Switch. Now I'm mainly conaidering the ergonomics and battery life between these two, as it seems that the Loki looks to have slightly better comfort with its wider build and bigger joysticks, but it still seems like it can't touch the Odin 2 when it comes to battery life, so there's going to be pros and cons to both devices. Would love to see what you think in a comprehensive comparison!

[@lordferdinand85]

Thank you for a so deep/geeky review, I’ll buy mine!!!

[@hendrickchan]

It's a lot cheaper than I thought it would be. So I signed up for one, as soon as the first reviews came out. I would say buying this would save all of us some money, coz we would stop buying multiple devices.

[@jjpnd01]

Hell yeah, it's like the perfect balance in terms of power, portability, and ergonomics. I think the only thing holding it back is the software/ OS.

[@PJP-DJP]

​@jjpnd01 if youre talking about the emulators, thats got notthing to do with the device itself.

[@jjpnd01]

@PJP-DJP I'm talking about it being "android". That's really the only thing holding it back. It can't run windows games or emulators that are on windows natively. Other than that it's a beast. I don't play windows games anyway but I know a lot of people appreciate them

[@artvoy1]

Great review as always , don’t usually watch close to a hour review but this was very well done and covered just about everything. A interesting comparison would be with the Loki Zero and see which one does emulation better.

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Thanks! Actually that thought crossed my mind too (Odin 2 vs Loki Zero). Pretty sure the Odin would win by a large margin though but it would still be a fun test.

[@haziee3108]

​@@KeiRetroGamingThe Loki Zero has Jellos available now which ups it's emulation capabilities by quite a large margin!

[@chrisalexlakra984]

The Odin 2 pretty much blows the Loki Zero out of the water in terms of emulation. The only upside of Loki Zero is that you can play some light or older PC games.

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Thanks!

[@DavidFilskov]

Thanks a lot for a thorough review. I really hope you're right about the input lag. I'm one of the people who've been measuring (posting videos) and complaining about Odin 1 (Pro/Base)'s input lag (in Android) :) I measured it using the same slow-motion recording method on three other different devices and compared them with the Odin.

[@DavidFilskov]

Btw. - as far as I understand run-ahead actually doesn't reduce lag (it skips forward) - but when the action does happen (after the lag delay) run-ahead makes it catch up / compensate for the delay (skipping forward) as if it had no lag in the first place (but then it only shows the last part of e.g. a jump). It's like the movement when you run and then jump should be running, then up, then down: __ /(up) \(down) ... but with lag and run-head it would skip the /up animation and become: ______ \(down) simply "teleporting" up to catch up with the delay and then you're on the way down when the delayed reaction comes.

[@leonardomatheus1888]

Good, i also recorded and posted input lag tests of the odin lite and i'm skeptical of the input lag not being high until someone post proof.

[@mr_rakar]

In some instances you can allocate ram to vram, which is why you would want more than 8gb

[@retropulse03]

@7:24 Instant subscribe. Omg, you don't know how frustrating it is to me that all size comparisons CENTER the devices, instead of lining them up on the left. For me, the Original Switch is obscenely large, and the Switch Lite is perfectly pocketable - so when people center those 2 against the Odin I HAVE NO IDEA how that will fit in my pocket, because it's in-between. My entire purchase hinges on this one detail at this point.

That actually bothers me too when KZbinrs do that. Glad you found it helpful and welcome to the community!

[@ReadGameCraftCook]

Just came across this video linked on Reddit. Whether or not a device can utilize the speeds of an A2 has not to do so much with the OS (android, windows, linux) as with the reader and interface bus. So it has to be determined on a case by case basis.

[@juzuvloke]

@KeiRetroGaming keeping my fingers crossed

[@samhuang683]

A1 vs A2 for microsd is for random access performance, not the sequential performance you are testing. And A2 require a host device that support it to take advantage of it

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Right idea, wrong test I guess on my part. Thanks for letting me know. The Odin 2 doesn't seem to be able to take full advantage of the A2 card anyways as I discovered after some additional testing on random reads and writes. I've reached out to let them know. A2 cards (all the ones I tested) ended up slower.

[@dinierto]

Even so the sequential performance was considerably worse making me think that A2 is just not the way to go, what do you think?

[@samh5886]

​@@KeiRetroGamingdoes your a2 card bench faster when tested on another device such as a PC/laptop? Or your Loki?

[@KeiRetroGaming]

When using the card reader below, the same Samsung card achieves 151 Mbs in reads and 102 Mbs in writes on my PC. Here's the card reader I used for testing: a.co/d/4ENl9WT

[@RyujinHayabusa]

Android now can emulate almost all console including PC, there is a team that trying to develop PS3 emulator for ARM chipset, Odin 2 really a perfect choice of affordable and powerful device, I buy the max, add 512gb SD card, yet it still doesn't enough storage, right now most of my game in my Odin is PC game (1tb) and I use 2 SD card of 512gb just for switch games, That doesn't include PSP/PS2/Vita games that I'm planning to add in another 512gb SD card, total of storage I need is around almost 3tb just for this Odin 2

[@KyleRuggles]

EXCELLENT review! Only gripe is I wish you had the battery current -10 on cpu float as well. I love to see that to gauge how much power it may.. be using at any one time. I'd love to get this but $508 cdn when my Odin 1 does everything I need it to do, I'm content to wait to see what else is on the horizon. Really dig this in depth review and comparisons to the RP3+ and Odin 1 itself. And dig the streaming test! I've had great streaming using my pc/moonlight and castor, kinda negates the need for me to get an x86 device. It's the handheld to beat! Stream PS3/Wii-U/Xbox/360 games and it's great!

Did you try the Solar Bay test from 3D Mark?

[@ThePhrenik]

Bit the bullet and bought one today on the last day of the IGG campaign while just having purchased an odin pro a month ago (didn’t realize the 2 was coming out). Probably going to take a hit on the odin pro selling it for less than I paid, but I’m hoping odin2 is the last device I’ll need

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Having used the Odin 2, I can easily say we now need to wait for the OS and app development to catch up before we need faster hardware. Out of every device I've tried ARM wise, this is genuinely the most impressive. You'll have this for a long time I'm sure.

You can disable that by turning off the "floating icon" on the Android bar up top. It just enables customizing the on-screen display, fps counter etc. It's built into the OS.

It'll support any sized micro SD card you have. I personally wouldn't recommend going 1tb though due to the sheer cost of the cards themselves, even with 512gb in mine I haven't run into any issues with running out of space.

[@rich-garland]

Hi mate , great video thanks for sharing what model is this base / Pro ? Apologies if stated & I missed . I’m thinking of ordering one of these I do really like them but with shipping on top it becomes costly. In your opinion will the base model work fine for a lot of switch emulation or do I need the pro ? I’m a novice to the emulating Space any help would be great, thank you 🙏

[@KeiRetroGaming]

I ended up with the Pro model. If I were to make a recommendation, I'd suggest either the base or Pro model. The base version is the way to go if you're looking for the best value. Personally, I haven't seen any Switch titles exceed 8GB in memory usage. A few reviewers mentioned that TOTK and BOTW can go over 8GB, but most others are below that. In my opinion, the base model is the way to go. However, the Pro model is a good choice if you want broader compatibility with more of the Switch's catalog and need extra space on your device for additional Android games. Hope that helps!

[@rich-garland]

@@KeiRetroGamingThank you so much !! Thoroughly appreciate your time and such a detailed informative response. I know there’s probably a lot to like about these devices, as I mentioned I’m complete novice to emulation and it’s all new to me apart from the actual games themselves.

If you want PC games at all, don't go with an android system unless you want to stream everything from your main PC. As far as emulation goes the Odin 2 will do everything but PS3 and Xbox (only X86 devices have that capability currently).

@@KeiRetroGaming sounds great! I saw your review on the Loki max. Would you say that is better than the steam deck if I am looking for something with better form factor?

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Definitely! The Max is much more portable in that regard while still adding some good grips on the back. The Max has pretty loud fans though as mentioned in the review so you definitely need a custom fan curve. Out of all my X86 devices I still pick up my Ally the most (I also find it more portable than the deck too). The Max and Ally are both faster than the deck either way so there's lots of good options to choose from. If you don't mind windows I'd recommend trying a good condition open box Z1 Extreme Ally from your local Best Buy, and if that's too big after a week using it then go for the Loki Max. If size and portability are your main factors the Max isn't a bad option. Hope that helps! (If you try the Ally just use the internal storage over a micro SD card)

I'm wondering if you see something like this when streaming?

[@KeiRetroGaming]

You might need to disable "variable refresh rate" in windows and hardware accelerated gpu scheduling as both can cause issues with streaming in windows. Hardware accelerated gpu scheduling in particular has caused me a lot of problems before. Also try using the HEVC codec as bandwidth requirements are halved with that.

Is it the case where you can insert a blank SD card into the Odin 2 and it will format the file structure? Then you can populate the SD card with all files thereafter?

Either or. You can set up a card beforehand, just make sure to swipe the format message off the screen when it asks you. EXFAT is what you want to format your card to if you want to get it ready earlier.

​@@OvidiuBuleandrathen let me put it another way. I wish more handhelds could have smaller/minimal bezels, especially vertically. It makes a surprising difference.

Hi, thanks for the Video. Can you please test next time the Game Prototyp (Xbox360). (:

[@KeiRetroGaming]

There is no Xbox 360 emulator on Android.

What is that app called that shows the stats?

[@matrioshkabrainn]

Wow as if Winlator isn't working. Would have been one of the first things I attempted. Hopefully fixed soon. Working on my S23 lol

It's a shame that they missed out adding full size thumb sticks.

Do you owning this Odin 2 AND a steam deck? I own a steam deck and I have the Odin on order so I can try a smaller device. Just want to know

[@KeiRetroGaming]

I own both. I rarely use my steam deck though because of the screen quality and the size of the device itself.

[@darrenhaken]

@@KeiRetroGaming thanks. So you don’t think I’m totally crazy then 😂?

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Ha nope! I love smaller and more portable devices too.

How does it perform when is connected to a TV?

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Fantastic actually! Feels like a switch when docked and looks very sharp thanks to 4k/60 output.

[@mrredoficial]

@@KeiRetroGaming awesome, thanks.

File or rom structure is it just storage / roms/ then each system name ?

[@KeiRetroGaming]

That's how I organize my collection but it doesn't really matter so long as you link everything properly.
