Two Must Have Apps for the Odin 2 & Retroid Pocket 4/4 Pro! OdinTools & Obtainium!

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Edit: OdinTools actually works for the Retroid Pocket 4/4 Pro as well! Small update here for those users. - Unfortunately, with Yuzu and Citra now discontinued, those two apps will not work with this program anymore.

[@itsTouEasy]

Is it safe to use? i got a warning message regarding "potential damage"

[@glazedbelmont]

@@itsTouEasy that's a general disclaimer because it checks to see if it's an odin 2. It's still safe as of now, maybe future versions will be incompatible

[@itsTouEasy]

yeah, ill just wait i think lol really love this device and dont mind being patient. (RP4 Pro) @@glazedbelmont

[@absentmind3dd]

It doesnt seem to work on odin pro, but good to know it works so far for retroid 4 pro

[@RyanSpain-v9b]

@JoeysRetroHandhelds. I purchased the yuzu early access from the app store. My understanding is that early access gets the updates first. Would obtainium be the better option through GitHub? Also keep up the great work love the videos!

[@dbozgt]

I’m getting odin 2 I’m so excited be my handheld next 2 years.

[@kristofers3562]

Such a great device. AYN making everyone step up their game. Bought one for me, then bought another one for family and friends just to support a company backing gamers and listening.

[@xelthos2051]

Been begging for a controller quick swap for odin 2 since I bounc between yuzu and dolphin a lot. This is perfect.

[@R4V3Nyt]

What does controller quick swap do?

[@Emmori6]

I was oringally going to hold out for the Pocket S, but I finally decided to go with the Rainbow Pro and I am super excited and will be using these apps, thank you!

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Good choice!

[@xtheslump]

Did yours ship yet because mines taking forever

[@Emmori6]

@@xtheslumpnot yet 🥲but it sounds like people who bought theirs the first week of Feb. are now just shipping from what I can see in AYNs discord cause of CNY so hopefully mine ships soon 🤞🏾

[@wopino]

Maaaaan I need Obtainium in my life!! I'm tired of uninstalling Yuzu for the latest build and then constantly loading the firmware, drivers, keys, and games directory, it's annoying to say the least. Thanks Joey you're the real MVP.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

You're welcome!

[@HamsterXFiles]

Yuzu: that's no longer required, I'm dead bro!

[@Smol_Lego]

I cant stess enough on how useful this will be when my RP4P is delivered. It will be delivered to someone whos gonna lose their mind installing emulators and ROMs and BIOS. Your setup video+this video will help guide them

[@SWPLGAMING]

Keep dropping that needed content bud 🔥🔥👍🏾

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Always

[@Dee_Lopez]

This was truly amazing thank you. Very helpful and simple

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bson5192]

Awesome! My Odin 2 is coming soon!

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Nice 👍

[@TBMartin]

Mega jelly about the colour lol But I do love my black max. I am thinking of swapping out the buttons for the ones in the video though. I didn't know that about Odin tools, thank you for the video

[@maggiemarshall5325]

Great video still saving to get this must have device

[@yurty6253]

Cheers Joey! My rainbow Odin should be here next week.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Odin Brothers!

[@Tacquito]

Very nice this is going to help me out a ton. Thank you Joey!! ❤

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Glad it was helpful!

[@leasonv_5972]

Great video btw very helpful for when I get my own a couple of weeks. But one question that people don’t ask is that how is the shipping process does it take a 1month to arrive or a week to ship? Thank you

[@ryanbartlett672]

Thanks. This software could be what tips me to the Odin 2 vs. a snapdragon tablet with telescopic controller. Even though, I'm guessing both would work on any Android -- Obtainium at least.

[@tombruni2940]

A bit late to commenting but I just started setting up Syncthing for my RP4 Pro and Odin 2 saves. It's a bit of a pain but working so far so good

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Good stuff! I use autosync for google drive personally.

[@tombruni2940]

​@@JoeysRetroHandheldsI'll have to check that out. I saw someone else mention Syncthing first on Reddit and thought is a good concept, but I am not 100% committed to the app.

[@glazedbelmont]

First and also Odintools is getting performance and fan modes next update.

[@apkwiab]

Langerhans, nice seinfeld reference

[@PolymerJones]

what's so great about odin tools there is like 4 functions..? how do I SSH into a rp4pro? I can't find information anywhere online

[@kyles3335]

Thank you! I've been having issues with the triggers in yuzu

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Glad I could help!

[@rcarlos6]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing!

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

You bet!

[@PakRC]

I have that same one coming today according to DHL...how long did yours take from the time they shipped it? Thanks for all your videos, your channel is top 3

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

I did 4px, it was ten business days!

[@PakRC]

@@JoeysRetroHandhelds thanks, that's not bad!

[@GeeFamous92]

@@JoeysRetroHandhelds4p was 22 and DHL was 30 I went with DHL I have my purple one soon.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

In Canada we get charged duties for DHL, so it would have been a lot more money on top. 4PX is free!

[@PakRC]

@@JoeysRetroHandhelds definitely, that free health care has to be funded somehow in Canada. I've had things shipped with 4PX before from anbernic and to the East Coast it takes about 18 days. Thanks 👍🏻

[@timcn3602]

@JoeysRetroHandhelds Rumble doesn't work on my Odin 2 when playing Android games. It does work in other apps such as Yuzu/NetherSX2. Any ideas on what I could check? Thanks

[@pandabiker9661]

Finaly i found accidentally how to add Retroarch on obtainium. Maybe you may share you config on obtainium nxt time. Anw Thank you so much sir ..

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

I prefer to teach people how to do it manually to help understand, as just giving a config file doesn't help for next time if something changes.

[@valg.3152]

Thank you Joey your the best👍🏼

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

You are!

[@Tom-Bomb]

Hey does the clear ones shell feel any different than the solid ones? I was gonna get the blue but ultimately went w/ the 16bit one with the skittles buttons mainly bc I didn't like the way the LED's showed thru on the clear ones making that cross shape around the sticks. But now that I have it idk if I care for the way it feels.. don't get me wrong it def feels super premium and not cheap at all- that's not what I'm saying, its just like VERY smooth and has almost like a switch joycon soft touch feel to it but not quite. And I'm just wondering bc I know sometimes the clear variants on other handhelds use a different plastic that IMO usually feels better than the solid versions, take for example the RP3 & 4 and I believe I've heard that about some Anbernics as well. And coming from a clear red RP4 pro, I love how that thing feels and I find myself wishing the Odin2 was more like it. It's pretty smooth but also has like a grippy textured matte finish to it that's great when it comes to finger prints and also just feels more secure in your hand, like it cant slip or nuthin. So being you have both kinds was hoping you (or somebody) could shed some like on this for me bc I could still technically exchange mine if I rly wanted to being I just got it.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Been a while, from my memory, they were basically the same.

[@xtheslump]

How long did this one take to arrive??

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

All these handhelds have arrived in under ten business days.

[@xtheslump]

@@JoeysRetroHandhelds okay thank you!

[@deejayce]

Can these apps work for any handheld that has android besides the odin & rp4?

[@valg.3152]

Joey why do you have 3 Odin 2 Pro?

[@devilsdante]

My Odin is on the way also with 4px (in Portugal we pay like 40% tax which is ridiculous. I hope it bypasses the customs). Very nice video. Will use this for sure. Legit q tho. Why 3 odins and all pros? 😁

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Too much money, not enough sense.

[@devilsdante]

@@JoeysRetroHandhelds literally first world problems!

[@mixiazul]

Por 4px seguramente no pagarás aduana. Te saldrá muy bien de precio

[@devilsdante]

@@mixiazul yeah it bypassed customs already 😁

[@Alvaro_93]

How can you use Dolphin update on obtainiun? I cant get it and its update everyday

[@Joseiyo74]

Excellent app, is it possible to update retroarch from STABLE versions? Cannot find a proper link, just in nightlies.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

I haven't tried this, but try this page www.retroarch.com/?page=platforms with the same custom link apk filter from the video.

[@dadou193]

Joey, Is there a comprehensive video o of xbox game pass ultimate gameplay or guide on the odin 2? If not can you make one? (I want to know how well it's suited for it)

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Hey, it works great! Not sure a guide is needed, you just install the app and play :)

[@AE-bm4no]

Do you recommend the red and blue yuzu app or the gold and grey yuzu app

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

No idea what those are, but the one from the video, which is through Github.

[@andrewg2586]

how do you use mouse in your odin?

[@HyperHawg]

Did the controller style and L2/R2 mode switches get added into the newest OTA? I downloaded Odin Tools and now I have 2 of each toggles.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Apparently they did! Interesting. App still does per app settings, so it's better, but interesting!

[@glazedbelmont]

They did yeah, hidden change they didn't list

[@michelezubani5562]

Will I lose the texture packs I sideloaded in the emulator directories (i.e. NetherSX2, Dolphin) when I update?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

I haven't seen any data loss, everything has stayed.

[@EPC3390]

Is this only for Odin2? Is it compatible with the lite?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Only Odin 2.

[@DanielChaves1984]

Has anyone compiled a list of links to copy and paste into obtanium to make it a bit quicker to setup the emulators into the app?

Does Odin tools work with the Odin 1?

[@CaPiTaN3588]

Nope

[@GoogleHelpYou]

Can't install it on my Retroid flip

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Makes sense, Odin tools is for the RP4 or Odin 2.

[@fellowninja]

Not gonna lie. From the thumbnail, I thought one of these was OnlyFans and I had to click on the video to find out why it was a must-have for a retro handheld lol

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Have to pay extra for that video.

[@coronacalona6683]

tldr please! what does this 2 apps do?

[@glazedbelmont]

quick change / auto change of controller layour/trigger modes + performance/ fan modes (soon)

[@stromi9032]

Just arrived and android is so complicated 😂

Odin 2 is BAE. Very few flaws and plays anything that runs on Android.
