I have been a mobile gamer all my life but got a x18s and recently a Odin pro. You won't know about them unless you own one. Also most of these have a touch screen and button mapping to touch.

Awesome review, Russ! One note about Ratchet and Clank as I’ve been playing it extensively on the Lite: it runs at 2x with the EE set to -1/1. It’ll run at 30 for more intense scenes (internal FPS so no actual slowdown), 60 at lighter ones, and 20 with a ton of enemies. I personally found it to be enjoyable but everyone’s mileage and perception will vary.

I was torn between the pro and the lite, but I ended with the pro. I love my pro. I have done some modding to it. I purchased the Sakura Mods Grey buttons for it, which are WAY better than the stock face buttons. I had some issues with the right bumper, and AYN sent me a repair kit relatively quickly, and I haven't had any issues since. My one personal issue, is the home button. I agree, I have hit that 100 times thinking it was the start button. I have been patiently waiting for Batocera to be ported over for it, I love android for emulation, but I HATE the frontends for it. I much prefer emulationstation for my retrogames.

Nice new studio look and boy do you look different with a beard. It really suits you though. If the Odin had been regularly available, no doubt I would have bought one but I bought an RG552 for retro. Now that I need an additional device, I reserved my Steam Deck. The wait for that is going to be tough but at least full payment isn’t required and should arrive sooner than any Odin model.

So you like it apart from what make it a handheld, ie the buttons and joysticks. For about the same money you could get a tablet with the same chipset and get it today. Pair a Bluetooth controller with better ergonomics that a lot of people have already and you get rid of every item on your Don't Like list. Maybe some tablet reviews are warranted. What do you think Russ?

Great video. I was always for the Lite for version for its price/performance value but not anymore. Nothing to do with performance, battery or shipping. One word... Linux. Apparently not possible on the Lite due to its chipset/kernal config, or something like that. But it is possible on the Base and Pro. So to have something like Batocera running on an Odin sometime in the future sounds great. Infact if you check the Batocera wiki in the handheld section it shows an image of the Odin and in it is text that reads: "Not supported, yet" So one day hopefully, it will happen.

This is the first time I ever pre-ordered anything. I got into console gaming in the PS3/360 generation in my 30's. The PS2 has a great library that I'd love to dig into, and I have quite a few PS2 games and a console, but I just can't go back to the lower resolution and frame rates. Additionally, period controllers are shot. I haven't found a good aftermarket solution. I bought this in the standard version to emulate as much PS2 possible at better frame rates and higher resolutions. I'm very much looking forward to jumping into the PS2 library with modern niceties.

For PS2 in particular, you might be surprised by how many games ran natively at 50/60fps in PAL/ NTSC territories respectively. PS2 has a pretty well-optimised library from a time where there wasn't so much bullish insistence on porting exact replicas of high-end PC games. That kind of thing was rife in the 360/ PS3 era, and so consequently, lower resolution notwithstanding, PS2 games tend to feel a lot smoother than a lot of the next generation fare. If you can play PS2 on a CRT, you'd be very surprised by how great it looks and feels. The closest thing today is using an OSSC or RT5X scaler and faking a CRT-like interlaced image with bobbing scanline emulation.

I ordered my Odin Pro I believe Feb 2, shortly after watching one of your videos about it. It arrived on my doorstep a couple of weeks ago. By then, I'd already moved on to another handheld to fill in the gap I'd wanted for the Odin Pro. Still debating on whether or not I want to keep it. The device is amazing, but in this day and age, especially with something like the retro/PC handheld market, having to wait 6+ months for a device means that device may be functionally obsolete by the time you get it.

@@Pridetoons Allow me to rephrase my statement, then. The device is amazing, but perhaps not 6+ month wait amazing--especially when the IGG campaign I ordered off of made no mention of such a long wait. Had I known that I would likely be waiting until mid-August to get my Odin Pro when I purchased it in February--instead of April/May as was the estimate at the time--I would not have purchased it. Other opinions may differ on that matter, but having a wait time that long will drive customers away. (It drove me away from the SD when I managed to miss my window because, go figure, I work for a living and don't always have the chance to check email on busy weeks. Better luck next time.) YMMV.

Russ, your Odin Pro review inspired me to order an Odin Pro off the Ayn website. In May. To start shipping August 1. And next week it'll be September. So yeah, still no Odin. I'm really looking forward to my Odin because it sounds like everything I've ever wanted from a handheld emulation console. But considering their track record, they could promise the Loki will come with a free kitten and a pot of gold, but I'm not prepared to buy anything from Ayn again until they figure out their logistics.

If you're only playing 8 or 16 bit games any of these devices are the same. The only differences come when you try to emulate things from N64 forward.

How does the plastic of the white shell feel in the hand compared to the transparent purple shell? I had the purple Odin Pro and the plastic felt really rough and unpleasant to me and was a major factor in my decision to sell it off.

This would be the lineup to beat.... IF they could ship within a reasonable time frame. I'm personally betting on a similarly-powered PCB upgrade for the RP3 being released and shipped before these even get out the door. Great review, as always. Thanks!

The form factor of the Odin is still a winner, for me. Don't like the left thumbstick being at the bottom for most of the games I'd be intending to play. I think the retro handheld scene is still a bit stuck in the mindset that everyone is using these to play 2D games mostly when the hardware is now capable of so much more. Of course there will always be handhelds targeted at SNES era or older emulation (e.g. Miyoo Mini) but that should be the preserve of cheaper, smaller devices imo.

...and then I ended up getting the Odin Pro out of spite. Retroid gave its supporters a HUGE slap in the face by not offering a proper discount to current RP3 owners. I shoulda listened to Taki.

Another thing that could hit battery life in the Odin Lite is the Cellular capacity. As in our phones, if it is connected via cellular, the battery will drain quicker.

I finally caved and decided to get an Odin Lite. It's definitely easier to get now; it only took about 2 weeks to arrive at my door. I like my Retroid Pocket 3, but wanted a bigger screen. I might try the free version of Launch Box as a frontend.

Hey Russ, great video! Do you experience any resistance from the analog triggers? On my panda lite, they rubbed against the case, causing noticeable resistance at about 60% press. I had to file/sand down the inside of the trigger holes to free up space and stop the rubbing.
