#AYN Odin 3

âFull unit assembly and deliveries will start in early December.â
there you go
just dropped
this is going to be uncomfortably close to Christmas especially for us EU peeps
this is going to be close for anyone with 4px as shipment
I don't really mind. I'm just happy that they are not delaying it like the konkr.
When they release the ARM steamOS, any educated guesses on how long it will take for someone to get it working for our chipset?
Don't expect it for at least 6+ months.
Wouldn't expect it for a while, and even when it does come out, I wouldn't expect it to be a seamless experience for a while
2hrs
Nah, itâs only bad when AYANEO does it.
Ayn isn't announcing multiple other handhelds at the same time
Gonna jinx it đ
Odin Portal 2 incoming ha ha.... I wish
They actually did, considering they havenât shipped any of the Thor Liteâs and theyâre already setting up to ship a completely different handheld instead.
That actually is a pretty good point I'll give you that
Still, definitely not as bad as Ayaneo rn
Shit, they havenât even shipped all the Ayn Thorâs yet either.
Sure, also still something that gets ignored when itâs Ayn doing it.
And what's about the fan fixing?! 
I don't understand what is meaning...the spatial audio filter isn't for the speaker sound?
He is talking about 2 diferent things in there
There is something to protect the fan that is too close to the fan itself, creating a whistling noise
He is also talking about how there is a ressonance Chamber to increase audio quality
AYN really lives rent free in RNS's head right now if he has to bring it up every couple of days đ
I could give RNS a list of reasons about how his argument is a false equivalency but what's the point đ
Please do, i want some entertainment while I have coffee đ
u will be able to flash it insta
but how good it will work on beta, nobody know
Being looked into đ
video quality so bad it looks like he's running it in developer mode
yh, bc i cant share normal qaulity via streaming ...

eh i thought it will be all about pc đą
There will be more, don't worry! đ„
they all went to get a pack of cigarettes
...but they havent come back yet
No, Iâd genuinely be welcome to it if I missed anything during any of my âI get and agree that AYANEOâs definitely done a lot of worse stuff overall, but I donât like it when people use that to ignore another companyâs issuesâ arguments.
I already disliked it when people did that with Anbernic during Retroidâs recent fuck-up, and I was already more angry with Retroid at the time.
Retro Tech Dad testing 9 Gen in ps2 emulation in 8K on 1080/1440 screen handheld
that a joke btw
But if Aynâs actually acknowledged the reason why the Thor Liteâs still havenât been shipped yet and they actually have finished shipping pre-orders (where I just ended up missing that info when looking in the Ayn discord), I genuinely would want to know that.
probably unnecessary for you to keep bringing up the whataboutisms every couple of days though? đ
this discord is called retro handhelds, not our fault you landed here man
that device not about retro stuff at all
yeah but we are still retro enthusiasts at heart
so retro is unavoidably going to get coverage
the solution is @short gust can make his youtube channel and make such videos, then everybody wins đ
maybe this happened soon
I keep wondering why you're here at all.
true, union me đ
just tested RDR port on Elite ... and a bit shocked
80-90% gpu load on native 1080p
why not feral do this port ...
my impression is that there are little pockets and corners here and there where you can see some glimpses of this chip performing better than the Deck, but the translation layer is still too heavy to be able to make that blanket statement for PC gaming yet
AFAIK the 8 elite does score better than the steam deck in geekbench's vulkan gpu benchmarks. 8 elite is around 24,000 and the steam deck is around 19,000 iirc. So technically yeah it could
Still a ways off from the 780m though
but 780m handhelds are heavy as fuck 
like just comparing my Ayaneo Slide to the Pocket Fit, it's insane 
Yeah, think we gotta wait till the 8 gen 6 to beat out the z1e
technically it decent port (abnormal gpu load), graphics not bad
native res u can put via config file
steam deck apu vulcan 17500
z1 extreme arround 40k
Elite Gen5 28500
My legion go only got 34k damn
These mobile scores probably canât sustain as well as x86, at least for most of them. Single run only part of the story. And yeah, until stuff is released native arm thereâs still a gap. Raw numbers only part of the story
yup, steam os will make a final gap
Don't think geekbench vulkan scores always translate directly to gaming performance anyway.
it does if nothing else not ruin it
like ''android'' drivers translation etc
steam os arm vs steam os x86 will be similar
I mean no benchmarks do, but it does give you a good approximation
I seen it even less used than 3dmarks when people review amd and Nvidia gpus.
noone compare real gpu in geekbench
this why nomad light peoples use to battle arm things vs x86 apus
and solar bay
and Gen5 pretty close to 890m 
Also depends on the game and what the bottleneck is. VRAM for textures? CPU performance for cpu intensive games? Etc. Itâs not just raw gpu that matters.
Yeah ik, I just brought it up since it's hard to find direct comparisons between the two
vram what? it use ram, but we have super fast ram 8533/9600Mhz (top tier laptops/handhelds only has it)
and 12 (3x4) /18 (3x6) mb (A830/A840) additional gpu cluster
simply answer = there no any ram/vram speed/bandwidth bottleneck
The Steam Deck Oled's ram is LPDDR5 at 6400 MT/s and the Odin 3 is LPDDR5x, so worst case scenario the Odin 3 is on par with it if not better
OnePlus 15 16GB is LPDDR5X Ultra+ = 10,667Mhz - Dual 64bit = 85Gb/s
OnePlus 15 12GB is LPDDR5X Ultra = 9600Mhz = 76Gb/s
any regular phone/tablet with 8 ELite = 8533Mhz = 68Gb/s
vs
steam deck legacy 5.500Mt/s - Quad 128bit = 88Gb/s
vs steam deck oled 6.400Mt/s = 102Gb/s
raw numbers, but in actual real case lowest and best will not have big difference
Youâre assuming he ever would buy one of these things to actually test, and not just pull out graphs from random benchmarks found on the internet.
fine, back to block anyway useless guy at all
Oh noâŠhow awfulâŠ
easier
no no it's his team doing the testing
(side note the betterdiscord plugin to actually hide blocked messages is peak, I love seeing people arguing with themselves in here)
Wow mobile chips have gone a long way
Is there furmark for android
hear me out here: furmark within gamehub/winlator

I kid, but now that I think about it, it would be cool to see the same benchmark run on android and within a winlator container
should try 3dmark steel nomad on winlator/gamehub
Yup, we're getting to that point now. I ran the Tomb Raider benchmark in Gamehub so it's cool to see that those kinds of tools can be used.
impossible (even time spy no)
4k, 6gb+ dedicated video memory, full dx12
ooooooo
i know benchmark via pc which we can run and compare with desktop gpus
Unigine Heaven 4.0 (1080p Extreme)
DXVK
and
Unigine Superposition (1080p Med)

that awkward moment when the Odin 3 emulates switch games at a higher resolution and with better life than playing them native on the Switch 2
Nah, they emulate at about the same resolution (for the most part, can someone at that company just hurry up and implement a âS1DockedMode on S2 Handheldâ toggle already?), albeit with the Switch 2 still having less battery life but in turn having way less graphical errors for most games.
Odyssey might be an exception since it got a patch, but afaik most games can't run docked on the S2 while in handheld, whereas the Odin 3 does docked without an issue (as long as compatibility issues allow)
See that one parentheses is the exact thing I care about a lot more, since Iâve been actually still enjoying a good number of S1 games in S2âs handheld mode, and for the games that donât look good in handheld I just play on docked mode instead (and both of which regardless actively play a lot of those games way better than on S1).
Meanwhile, the whole reason I actively preferred playing Switch games on a modded Switch Lite over stuff like the Odin 2 and shit is directly because most of the games I like actively had downright awful graphical errors, and for the most part theyâve still shown up in stuff like Eden even with how much better some games have gotten.
And this is with the 8 Gen 2 in mind, the 8 Elite has gotten better, but itâs still got a lot more compatibility issues compared to older chipsets.
of course, but it's tantalizing that we can get 6h of docked mode here when compatibility allows
compatibility is still ways off, but for the first time we get a glimpse of emulation being better than the original system which is exciting
I feel like in some ways this is where switch emulation crosses the Rubicon from "gimmick" to "could be viable some day"
sure the 8 gen 2 and below could do switch, but heavy weight titles always came with an asterisk in terms of resolution and/or battery life
with the 8 elite though, you get great res and great, practical battery life for every day use; now the only constraint is compatibility
Odin 3 graphical errors will be fixed with time, Switch 2 likely won't have a magical battery life increase
Itâs been 5-7 years and even the most compatible of chipsets still have a shit ton of games that either donât work well at all or have a good number of graphical errors, much less 8 Elite.
crazy that we're at the crossover point of better resolution, framerate, and battery life than original hardware or direct successor
the main issues that I've run into with Switch emulation on my Flip 2 are due to a lack of processing power, though I'll grant there are several games with compatibility issues still
but with the work going into emulators to improve compatibility, I really do think most of those compatibility issues will be sorted in the next year or two
and 8 elite turnip drivers are an issue being acticvely worked on by an experienced mesa dev in the employ of Qualcomm
so that's a non-issue, given a few months' time
Sure, and that exact âcould beâ is the reason why Iâm more-so against treating the 8 Elite as anything more than what it is right now.
Iâve literally been seeing that exact estimate of âwhen Yuzu would fix all the issues currently plaguing Switch emulationâ given even before original Yuzu had been shut down, so youâll excuse me for being doubtful of it actually happening.
I get the excitement, but at the current moment, all weâre doing is the exact same âoverhyping for something that didnât actually exist yetâ that we did with the RP5âs Linux support announcement in assuming âoh this got the SteamFork and Bazzite devs interested, weâre gonna get Arm-SteamOS!â, and so far all thatâs led to is just Rocknix and a semi-functioning Armbrian build, where weâre only now having hope for Arm-SteamOS due to Valve themselves actively making it themselves.
Literally right before Russâs review where he directly went into the issues currently still ongoing with Switch on 8 Elite, we had people getting overhyped and making claims that â8 Elite is at the same level of compatibility as other chipsetsâ (which was a bold faced lie based solely on an estimate that still hasnât been met, not a confirmation).
I feel differently about this because I've seen Eden devs posting their progress in squashing prominent bugs (like light and shadow flickering in TotK, for instance)
I don't think it's be at the near-perfect level of, say, SNES emulation for years yet, but I think the time that it'll take to be good for first-party titles I care about is close enough to have me not bothered about getting an Odin 3 instead of a Switch 2
and I can just buy indies on Steam and play 'em in Gamehub or GameNative
Also wait, what are you guys talking about with the better framerate? Half of the more recent videos Iâve seen on 8 elite performance with the higher end S1 games have been actively less stable than what the S2 does.
See now PC Emulation is the exact thing that Iâd be recommending this and the Pocket Fit Elite for, the compatibility the 8 Elite has with those games is honestly insane.
I've seen locked 60fps and unlocked 90-120fps BotW with Eden on 8 elite
oh yeah it's absolutely crazy
I'm stoked to play games that run at poor-to-pretty-decent framerates on Flip 2 at 60 or even 120fps on Odin 3
to me Switch is something I can wait for as I work through my indie backlog
In which areas and what resolution? Thereâs a big degree of difference on performance demand between places like the dungeons or the open fields and a place like Korok woods.
the 120fps was in a more open area
I don't think I've seen a reviewer play BotW w/ NX Optimizer/Ultracam yet, which is unfortunate, because locked 30fps isn't that impressive imo
Fair enough on that, my main thing is just that I have already little expectations for Switch emu after all these years, since itâs at the moment just a hypothetical.
Like, in the same 1-2 years that Eden could bring compatibility to 8 Elite up to the same level as 8 Gen 2 and such, the Switch 2 could suddenly get an update that âadds a toggle for playing S1 games in docked mode on S2âs handheld mode, the issues with a ton of games looking worse in handheld mode due to lacking an update for the 1080p screenâ or devs could actually just start doing S2 updates that add 1080p and 60fps (or even 120fps for some games) support.
Both of these are literally just something that could happen at some point, theyâre not what is actually properly happening at the moment.
I dunno, I have enough trust in the emulation development community that I thing us getting very good Switch emulation in the next few years is nearly a guarantee
considering how solid it already is
whereas I've already seen the number of PS4 games that got a proper PS5 update after the initial rush to do so in the few momnths directly after the console's release
there's definitely a chance of Nintendo adding the ability to play Switch 1 games in docked mode on a handheld Switch 2, but I'm not holding my breath for the company that took five years to half-assedly add folders to their console's game library
The switch is ARM. I'm pretty sure switch emulators use that to their advantage for the android versions.
So my igg ultra shipping out next week?
one can dream
we hope so.
I still wanna know whether we are getting the gift bag
I feel like it's the most pressing issue right now
we better get a big ugly gift bag
it's horrendous 
Though it hasn't been mentioned since so maybe they're hoping everyone's forgotten lol
well, we won't forgive our ugly bag not being included

I accept those terms
Is there a place where all these games are documented ? Like maybe you could update https://www.emuready.com ?
nope, no where ... if u want, u can copy all what i send
more info in my tg
(we dont want make base now, bc turnip will change everything)
also every single component (box/fex/driver/emulator) update improve something, also different TDP limits in testing
results what we get on 20W, u will never get on 8-13W (which usually vendor stock for Elite) diff can be even 40% (to get 16-17W u need ludashi gamehub)
What can Astra do vs Odin 3?
if astra with 20W+ external cooling they will be +- the same
I have an Astra but also odin3 coming
Turnip isnât due for at least 2 months if not more though right ?
should be on start of the year
for 840, and after for all other
no

on 8Gen2 the same place and setting 20-22
even with mangohud which grab a bit performance
so, Elite+Turnip (soon) it will minimum reach steam deck lcd lvl
more time for us to cancel
the good news is that at this pace it'll arrive after we've come back home from the holidays
come after holidays sounds bad :/

Huh. In the US at least the tariffs have been taken care of by ayn.
Or is this because of vat?
I was looking at the merge requests history for the mesa drivers and it seems that Rob is at full steam
5 merges, and 2 of them are pretty big
I'm pretty sure what he is doing will also help adreno 7xx (8gen2/8gen3)
Yeah initial 850 support was released
840 and 850 are pretty similar?
Interesting, 42.7% of people are ordered Ultra:
its an investment with how ram prices are going
Both Rainbow Ultra AND Max models have shipped today!
GIVE US BLACK OR GIVE US DEATH 
wish there were more black review units, ive only seen tech dweebs
really curious how good/bad the shell is against fingerprints
Friday is Black Pro
Woop woop, looks like my rainbow Max shipped!
who gives a shit, where are the BLACK ULTRAS? 
Tomorrow!
Yeah, right !
THIS IS WHAT WE WANT
Everybody chant with me !
STOP YOUR TEASING, YOU ARE MEAN !
I WANT MY ULTRA-MARINE !
YOU CAN SEND ME A WHOLE PACK !
EXCEPT I JUST WANT THEM BLACK !
ayyyyyyyy it's my spreadseet!
i will forgive the late shipping if they send that stupid ugly bag
love that my amateur IGG data sleuthing is making the rounds
and 74.6% ordered Ultra or Max
probably more, given this doesn't account for upgrades people have made through AYN support
I ordered rainbow max (shipped today). Seemed like the one to go with for whatever shenanigans i want to get up to
max is the only sensible SKU but it turns out everybody has too much money lol
ultra wasn't even gonna be sold at first, it was a last minute addition
I buy ultra, because it cost similar like Max+SD card, and the main thing 256 GB is not enough for Gamehub/Steam games and you canât use SD card for that.
ultra might be considered a sensible choice now considering the ram and nand pricing situation. Don't think we will see any better performance/$ options for the next 1-2 years, at least for higher end devices with large ram and storage
kind of glad now i cancelled a SF pro and keep SF max instead

ultra is the most sensible SKU because 1TB of storage is beautiful
gonna use the internal storage exclusively for winlator/gamehub. sd card for retro
yeah, that's my plan as well
plus texture packs and modes, which several emulators insist on installing to internal storage
so they chose to ship my unit instead of the stupid ugly bag. cowards.
I also like Warhammer. I even made a 30 cm likeness of myself đ
Lotta black max models shipping so far! Seems like they're starting with those
My black Ultra's shipped! CID 4xx, Backer # 1x
Jutleys noticed the Ultra is dead
huh

Hello everyone, in this video I am adding the AYN Odin 3 into the shootout I put together recently between between the Retroid Pocket 5, Retroid Pocket G2, Odin 2 Portal, Konkr Pocket Fit, Samsung Fold 7 and Switch 2. I am testing the Snapdragon 865, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Snapdragon G2 Gen 2, Snapdragon G3 Gen 3, and Snapdragon 8 Elite chips respe...
wait so the first 300-400 contributions were cancellations or failed payments? wild
whoa
I sure hope that's temporary
or some of us aare getting a fairly exclusive model of Odin 3
Presumably so yeah, it's kinda wild! However I did have an earlier CID, and that was also 1x (it was 2 higher than my current Backer #) but I accidentally did a SEB rather SF, so cancelled that and reordered, getting me the 4xx CID
So maybe it's based on that instead? But yeah I think a lot of people made that same mistake, so it wouldn't be TOO shocking to have that many cancellations so early on... Plus people trying a few times on cards that keep declining, resulting in multiple failed orders, which people say increases the CID each time
Oof. Hopefully this wont mean fulfillment issues for the ones who already ordered a batch 3 ultra
Nope, I was in the mid 4xx and my Backer id os early 3xx
They must be basing my Backer # off my original, cancelled CID then
no more Ultras ever again, mine shipped so it's whatever 
that would make sense, yeah
now i can sell black ultra for xbox ally x moneys
is black pro tomorrow
anyone know why the ultra isn't available for pre-order anymore? was just about to get it today lol
sold out I guess
maybe due to RAM shortagess, but also maybe just due to so many people ordering it
Ultra was 43% of IGG sales, I'd expect the website to have a somewhat similar proportion
Best buy gonna be reselling at 819.99
who wants my souljaboy odin 3 for $999
It's not just RAM. All flash storage as well is going up.
yup, and itâs not just cheap flash and RAM, either
maybe i'll just get the max
i thought 24gb might help with some gamehub games but then i figure if the game needs that much ram, i may as well just stream it
hey, does anyone know how to get these ABYX buttons for the odin 3? I bought the rainbox color and I think it will go well with them
Shipping notification received (purple max) ! Unboxing & gameplay videos on my YouTube channel soon đ
Did you just pay for shipping once?
Sadly no đ iâm a masochist
Well at least one of your devices isn't holding up the other two!
In fairness they were 3 super fans. I nabbed ones people were cancelling. But did allow a 24hr grace period before purchasing to allow others to get it.
Part of the cool gang now đ
Me, you, and @robust chasm all have Black Ultras! It's the G2 crew reunited đ
Whereâs Linda when you need her?
In our hearts đ„°
Ooh the blue models are shipping!
when did you ordered? đ
i still waiting good news, but it looks mine will be shipped soonest next week - Black Ultra + accesories pack + case without grip đ But at least Black Thor Max will come today/tomorrow to my house đ
My ultra was 39** and ordered on Sep 24th
Still waiting on my max and pro to ship
oh, this is quite late order, time was Sep 28th, mine was 40**
Your ultra shipped today? why you ordered three Odins? đ
all of us have these đ
I need the @violet hamlet âs handhelds anonymous meeting
Your Ultra shipped out today or yesterday?
Today
But today as in UK time for me đ
which time in UK? I`m in Europe too đ
because mine order near you, it is interesting if i still have chances today đ
Me in the next 2 weeks after my purple max Odin 3 & Pocket AIR Mini shipped! đ
Got my email at 3AM
ok, that means Friday morning in China, but because i didn`t get my own email, it looks they changed to other SKUs
You must be next
maybe, some day, some time đ
I also got mine today at 3:30 am (Germany). đ
Black Ultra and Max tomorrow
Looks like their plan to ship Black Pros today was changed!

the main draw of the ultra is that full tebibyte of storage
the extra RAM is cool, but texture packs and PC games eat storage for breakfast
yeah a tb of storage would have been nice
ah well, ordered a white max, I'm sure I'll be happy regardless
Granted!
if you don't have a 100+ devices, how bad can it be
Not quite joined the 200+ club yet. That might be reserved for @stiff quartz đ
holy
Thor lightsaber fan issues again đ
lightsaber fan? sounds like a feature, if you ask me.
Odin-Wan Kenobi

My Blue Max was shipped via DHL to Texas and it's scheduled to come Monday
My Rainbow Max is due here Monday as well.
My Odin 3 has also finished measurin'! For my Thor, it took 6 days (including over s weekend) from this point
Think my odin has the seat next to yours
This has probably been asked a stupendous amount, so I apologise in advance.... Bit I'm looking to finally (saved up money) get an Ayn product, and I'm tossing up between the Odin Portal 2 or the Odin 3. Id be mostly using it to emulate N64/Dreamcast up to PS2, and maybe WiiU/Switch. Also docking it to play on tv would be a bonus. Is there any point waiting for the O3? Or is the Portal the way to go? Thanks guys, and again, apologies if these questions are getting annoying đČ
Yeah get the Portal
Thanks for the response! What's the main reason? I suppose the portal is plenty powerful enough for what I want?
Yep! And it has a bigger screen. And (in the short term at least) is better for Switch. Get the grip with it though - it's wayyy worth the extra $15
Brilliant, alright definitely leaning that way đ. Is it true the sticks need to be replaced? I heard they kinda suck
The included ones are as small as the other Odin/Retroid devices, but I think they still send bigger caps too which are pretty nice
Oh. I have a retroid 4pro, and have no problem with them. So I think I'll be alright đ. Is the docking experience okay with the portal? Id probably use it mostly handheld but I'd always like the option to dock to play Morrowind đ€Ł
No idea about docking, check out some reviews for that
Roger. Thanks for your inputs. They are really valuable
Oh, one final question for you. Any accessories you recommend? (aside from the grip)
Yes actually - this case!
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvVoCF2
It's not MY recc tho - I got it from someone on here (in the Portal channel maybe?) who said they'd tried a load of them.
It's a bit loose with just the Odin 2 Portal in its grip in there, but the grip also comes with a pouch, and if you line the case with the pouch first, then the Portal in its grip fits perfectly and snug in there
Oh wow, cheers. That looks great! It's better than the Ayn case then?
The AYN case doesn't fit the Portal when it's in its grip, unfortunately. I'm a sucker for an official case and wish AYN would have made one that fits the grip, but they didn't and have said they won't. I'm happy they've changed that for the Thor and Odin 3, where they've made two cases - one for without the grip, and one for with the grip
Wow multiple Rainbow Max and Ultras ordered on the website (not IGG backers!) have been shipped today
Yeah I guess they must be done with the Rainbow Max/Ultra IGG orders
Oh yeah lol that's crazy
Maybe you're getting two Ultras!! Or, uh, an accidental Pro...
Haha i will take a 2nd ultra đ
Hmm, so they almost done with the orders on igg before being forced to switch to own site?
That's around 2k units?
They're done with Black Pro IGG backers and almost done with Black Ultra backers. We've also seen Rainbow Pro and Ultra site orders shipped, which presumably means the IGG backers for those are finished too.
But all the other SKUs still have IGG backers to ship
Looks pretty smooth shipping, think this thread can be closed/shifted soon đ
I have around 105 devices... đ
If we ignore the pile of rejects I sit at 94 
with it... oh well
just talking about Chinese emulation handhelds tho, OEM ones probably another 30-something
I had about 130 last i checked but have sold a majority of my powkiddyâs after a battery scare. Spicy pillow in one of my V10âs. So probs back under 100 now
@lucid oxide is the Mr. 200+ handhelds... đ€
only get the Odin 3 if taking it around places with you is important; if you don't travel or game on the go a lot, then you'll enjoy the bigger screen on the Odin 2 Portal better
As much as I would love to bring it travelling, I've never really even brought my retroid 4pro with me. I always think I will, but then go for the classic or my NDS. So, if I'm being honest with myself, I'll just be playing at home đ€Ł. Portal it is haha
Every inch matters on the couch
Good heavens
phew i thought i was bad đ
đ
Nancheng cooty?
sorry to muddy the waters, but one point in favor of Odin 3 â it can handle upscaling PS2 to 4K no sweat, which would be awesome for docked play
it also has âfullsizeâ sticks (not as big as a full console controllerâs sticks, but much larger than most other handhelds)
Black pro shipped today
county
Oh man, it was just a silly joke about how the blue circle (that looks like an "o") is covering the "un" in "county"
Ooooh. A challenger approaches haha. What's the most the portal can do?
honestly not sure, Iâd guess somewhere in the 2.5-3k range
it might be able to push 4k on some games but Iâm not sure there
my personal choice fell into not wanting to buy an expensive handheld running an old chip
but obviously you do get some benefits with the older chip, such as solid software and driver support now instead of needing to wait on software to catch up to the hardware
8 gen 2 has a compatibility edge on more problematic systems, like Switch and sometimes Wii, but 8 elite has the performance edge on anything thatâs not as problematic, which is basically all PS2/GCN and below plus PC
Iâve also seen really good things about Wii U performance, which at first shocked me but is also delightful because it means I can play LoZ WWHD and TPHD handheld at solid framerates
8 Elite also has compatibility problems with lower end systems, just look at the reviews 
also 8gen2 has more than enough power for PS2 and below, it's literally only PC where an 8 Elite CAN shine - - not necessarily will, due to drivers
only Joey mentions that because only Joey thinks flipping a few toggles in RetroArch is advanced tinkering
Vulkan renderer fixes every issue he encountered, with the exception of N64, where you can either use angrylion and be stuck without scaling or use a standalone emulator and also be perfectly fine
I don't watch anything Joey... so maybe some others also mentioned it 
well they too were dumb or lazy about it
can 8 gen 2 handle 4k upscaling on PS2?
I was under the impression itâll chug at 4k on some tougher-to-run games
Dirge of Cerberus notwithstanding of course, issues there are found across the board
oh and for Dolphin you may sometimes need to run Ubershaders, but those are needed with some other chipsets as well
Dolphin doesnât currently have an Android dev experienced with the render pipeline, so itâs just going to be progressively more buggy on newer chips, and require using ubershaders to fix the issues, until somebody takes up that mantle
two things:
- the 8gen2 can do 4k PS2/GC as well without an issue, just less battery life (but moot point if playing docked)
- upscaling PS2/GC to 4k kinda looks like shit, past 1080p textures look pretty blurry, you can definitely tell these games were not designed for that resolution
great news, a lot of âem have HD and/or 4K texture packs available
also I canât say I agree that they look bad upscaled, one reviewer shared pics of 4K MGS3 and it looked like a PS3 game
probably game-dependent, but still
good to know 8 gen 2 can handle 4K PS2/GCN upscaling though, guess I misunderstood
The Retroid Pocket G2 is essentially just a "Pro" version of last year's remarkable Retroid Pocket 5, with the same design and about double the performance power for a similar price. It's easily the most powerful and high-quality handheld you can find for around $200...at least until the Retroid Pocket 6 releases in two months.
Retroid website...
russ covered this in his G2 review
even the G2 chip do almost 4k
can do 4x PS2
do he did test them with GOW2, so lighter titles can be at 4k with the G2 chip
nice
Iâd still go 8 elite over a weaker chip this late in the game, but to each their own
Well now I'm back on the fence đ
For me I'd go Odin 3 or RP6
Cheapest 8 gen 2 handheld Vs cheapest 8 elite handheld
Shame there aren't any 8 gen 3/G3 gen 3 handhelds other than ayaneo
Hope next year others would start using that
Yeah that's true. The driver support and huge screen are the appeal for me.... But seeing as the 3 and portal are the same price.... Seems a little foolish to not go for the beefier one
I was originally resolved to not even consider the Thor... But now Russ is gushing about it in the newest video.... Maybe I should haha
Haha. Well..... When does that come? Maybe I'm better waiting for a couple of weeks haha. There's probably no need to rush
Thing is, Thor and Odin 3 are on backorder now too. They won't be shipping the next batch until mid-Jan, and it's been like that for a few weeks (so you won't even be first in the queue). A Portal should presumably ship right away, and you might even be able to find one on eBay will all the accessories and stuff
But Lapis is right about the power angle... 8 Elite in the Odin 3 is gonna be exciting in 2026 as devs unlock its true potential, whereas the 8Gen2 ain't getting any more powerful
Hmmmm. But, seeing as the max I really care about is PS2, GameCube, and some android. Then maybe that doesn't really matter. My concern is the portal becoming obsolete... But if it's as powerful as it seems.... I should be okay until at least 2027. I mean, I made my rp4pro last this long. Seems a big step up haha
And the docking to the TV. Running PC games doesn't really interest me, I play retro mostly (and yes, it hurts to fall PS2 retro haha)
Yeah maybe just double-check some old reviews to see if the Portal can deffo do 4K PS2 and GC. I think RGC and (as much as people like to rag on him...) ETA Prime always test docked mode in their reviews
Oh good tip! Though, tbh, 1080 would probably be ok with those games docked, don't you reckon?
Seems the only reason to go with Odin 3 is for future proofing.... Which I may not need đ
yeah, if you donât need the extra power, the main differentiator is those sticks â and you can get pretty close to âem with higher-profile stick caps for the O2P
the 8 gen 2 chip isn't going to be obselete for a long time đ i get the struggle on deciding, its a hard choice
Well depends what screen you're docking 'em to! But yeah they'll prob look fine even on a 4K TV, it'll be like playing an OG Switch on a 4K TV
Yeah them O3 sticks do look real good...
I am planning to buy the $5 sticks and button pack. Apparently those sticks are better?
Well. I have no problem will the quality of the my switch 1 on my tv, so I guess I'll be happy haha

screen > chip
you will miss the 7 inches of the Portal more than the power of the O3
if you don't want the portability of a smaller handheld, get the Portal
Is it too late to cancel? Wikipedia needs my donation
I hate how they pester you for donations even more if you donate even once
Wikipedia should have an authoritative list of all email addresses and spam the ones who havenât donated instead
After playing with the Thor a bit more. Iâm actually a bit more looking forward for the Odin 3. The Thor really hurts my hands
Especially dpad centric games
And I just hate using grips
I mean, that makes sense, if you donated once you are more likely to donate again, so they target you
same logic Amazon uses to inundate you with vacuum cleaner recommendations the moment you buy a vacuum cleaner
god I hate this shit so much
some things make sense, like consumables or non-consumables like microSD cards, but I do not in fact need another vacuum after I just bought a vacuum
at least show me companion vacuums, like if I bought an upright show me handvacs or something
All remaining Ultras are delayed
Update on Odin 3 Ultra Shipping--2025/12/15
Odin 3 Ultra Shipping
Due to recent memory skyrocketing price increases and a temporary shortage in the memory supply market, the estimated shipping window of Odin 3 Ultra(24G+1TB) unfulfilled orders will be delayed to the mid of Jan 2026 unfortunately. We would like to offer 2 different options to handle this tough situation:
-
For customers who would like to exchange their Odin3 Ultra model to Odin 3 Max which will help to get their order shipped before Christmas, we will refund the price difference accordingly after your Odin3 Max is delivered. Please email us ([email protected]) in the coming 48 hours if you want to do this model exchange;
-
If you prefer to keep your original Odin 3 Ultra order, thanks for your patience we will keep your order as is. No further action is required from your side.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your understanding and patience.
Sincerely!

So it begins
shit... my Ultra is one of these, which wasn`t sended... Ordered on 30th September... :/
nice, good thing my Ultra is already out there
remember they've only recently been shipping and this ram shortage is only escalating
Few đ glad my ultra slipped through
Hopefully they resolve soon. I know the next batch of thors shipped early. So maybe if they can resolve fast enough same may happen here đ€·đ»ââïž
wow
not much of a surprise, unfortunately
Yours got shipped right?
Welp, thats a bummer
Ah the great measuring phase
Looks like ya just snuck in before they stopped the Ultra shipments tho! Noice
Doh! I just had a ton of emails about updates to my orders. Turns out they got my orders mixed up. My pro and max have dispatched but not my ultra. My ultra showed as shipped but now doesnât. The tracking number has swapped to my other order. đ€Šââïž ah well. Guess im waiting till Jan
Huh?! Now im confused. I have 3 tracking numbers in my emails but only 2 showing on IGG :/
One ultra one has vanished
Ultra tracking from emails already showing as been measured
Maybe i have someone elses tracking for ultra đ
My IGG and emails from IGG are a real mess
Yeah. I was wondering why i had 8 emails from IGG. I thought this was a bit of a fan fare for my pro being shipped. But it was lots of amendment emails
Eight?!
Yep đ€Šââïžđ
I suppose that's only one for each Odin 3 you bought 
damn scalpers 
he's getting 8 Odin 3s isn't he
This is probs a good example for why you should only order 1 đ keep things simple
é»èź€èźŸçœźæè ćèè§éąç»ć°ŸçèźŸçœźéœèĄă
a good example yes đ you can sell me one when you get em đ
forget selling he has to do giveaways now 
i want to give him at least the fair option
Woot, my SEB base model shipped!
i think my O3 is at my local airport
might be there for another week cause customs usually takes forever at this time of year
Unknown server
OOPS
Let's try this again lol
Shooting my shot (again): https://discord.com/channels/741895796315914271/1450192540295762072
My purple max is still relaxing in transit... đ
đ«Ą
Iâm down to buy one as well if my Pocket Fit Elite ends up getting delayed by the current situation as well.
Only reason Iâm still keeping it for now is on the chance the screen or something else was the issue on supply for their end but they still have a surplus of ram/storage.
Odin 24
Rainbow pro
My Odin 3 just cleared customs. Too late to cancel?
WellâŠ.my imaginary ultra has just left nancheng đ
I even have a royal mail tracking for it now
Apparently mine's arriving Wed, which is 6 days 4PX shipping, I've never see it that fast before 
Guessing something like this in Nancheng
Nancheng was actually their usual 2-3 days measuring!
Somehow... some way... There was efficiency in the UK? 
I actually hope it comes quick. Need to know if my ultra is real or not. My IGG still thinks its unshipped
Maybe im getting two đ€·đ»ââïž
But you've got a tracking number for it right? You're gonna get a note from Nicole with just this inside
Yeah it said shipped with tracking. Then when my pro shipped. It all got changed. But i have 3 different tracking numbers
So my ultra is no longer showing as shipped on IGG.
So đ€·đ»ââïž
Like you say, its going to be a joke package
Maybe its my sling
Ah maybe they booked 4PX, generating a track num, but never sent it... Are all three of your tracking IDs showing that they've been picked up, and are in Nancheng or even further along?
All 3 tracking have movement
Ultra has already left nancheng
Sick
So no clue. I wont say no to another ultra in jan đ
Yeah that'd look great in the museum
My pro left China too
yay đ
at this point I have no idea what you are getting
I don't think even AYN has any idea what you are getting
but do keep us posted lol
same here, there's hope
Haha will do đ Iâm as confused as you are.
in b4 it's just the ugly bags
like 8 of them
all the bags going to @runic ferry now
I will spread the love. Donât worry đ€Ł
did you get accessories @runic ferry maybe they are all separate packages
Maybe. I got the accessory pack with each of them
Who wants to place bets? Ultra or no ultra đ đ€Ł
lol, 3 packages per odin
Im hoping its just a bit of a screw up with igg. But i did my ultra pretty early on. So maybe they accidentally unmarked it as shipped when shipping my pro
could be anything honestly
I wouldn't be surprised if you end up with an engineering unit RP6 somehow
https://www.youtube.com/live/tyxrpHg3qsc?si=2Kw7syyGtSAriEJ1
Stubbs @ 26:36: "I talked to Nicole at AYN for a statement, and she did say that, 'yes, we put it on pause until RAM prices come down, the storage prices, because it's just too expensive for us to make vs, y'know, what we're selling it for; we can't afford to do this.' So, that's where we're at right now."
đRetro Handhelds Podcast S5 E61: Join Stubbs, Ban, Andrew, and Rob for a live chat covering the latest (and sometimes greatest) news in the emulation handhe...
those ram prices aint coming down sadly
Yeah that's what I was thinking
Sounds like AYN think they can wait for prices to come down? Nicole even said they'd be shipped in January "guaranteed".
I don't think the prices will come down... I think either AYN cancel the Ultra altogether, or they jack the price wayyy up
Uncertain if they'd honour the original price for anyone who has a current preorder
even when ram stuff returns to capacity i feel the odds are high the prices will stay high, because it's shown people will pay it. Hopefully not but yeah
they probably will otherwise thats a massive goodwill loss
True
i didn't order one đ
Your significant other is so lucky.
Imagine building up a load of good will over years and then blowing it all in one second
Maybe đ€·đ»ââïž im not sure yet. I will save my celebrations
Yeah!!
...
Wait a minute I don't wanna be associated with furries
eh, probably won't be a big blow on that one ^ at least short trn
Unts unts unts unts
j/k of course
but @runic ferry got his entire family sorted for xmas
Ultras for everyone
or Ultra for him, 7x Base for everyone else
any yakuza franchise fans here? this is an interesting watch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnmCmRJvQRU
oh interesting. im in canada
you say this but in two months the Odin 3 Portal or the Thortal will come out and then we'll be in trouble
it's just the 7 bags and a rp6
considering this has been the case with fucking produce, I'd imagine it will be true of RAM and flash storage as well
2026 not looking good for this hobby
If only I had a handheld
Look at this way. Lots of low end devices may come out of nowhere
Low end is pretty baron right now. Just mangmi and aya air mini. Not counting ewaste 
anbernic rg70xxh
7" 1080p 240hz OLED display
premium all-metal body
powered by h700

(1gb of RAM)
funnily enough you may be onto something
2026 might well be the year for Anbernic to unleash XX part II
They need to use up their hoard of rk3568
Not sure if this has been asked a lot, but does anyone know how the driver development is going on for the Odin 3?
Was waiting for reviews for the RP6 to order it and welp, next option is the Odin 3 before ram price increase starts hitting
the last we heard is that development has started and we might hear something early next year
but that's it for now
Oh that's cool, I was expecting it would take longer, like a year or so
it's not a promise though
like something might happen early next year, but it's not a sure thing
Mesa 26.0 has OpenGL support for Adreno 840 and X2-85, Vulkan support for those two is next on the list, and then Adreno 830 support should happen after that, assuming Qualcomm doesn't reprioritize
so we're a ways out from Turnip for 8 elite, but there is movement
One already sold
. Check out Ayn Odin 3 Ultra 24GB + 1TB + Grip Case Brand New In Clear Blue on eBay!
https://ebay.us/m/AEVXES
Lmao is that your one?
Not at all, was just wondering how long it would take.
Ahh
It's been up for a while that, I'm surprised no one's bought it yet, they're even accepting Best Offers
Mine is at a measuring conference in Nancheng
We all must endure the measurement
They had 2 up and sold one at that price apparently.
Ahhh
selling review units, nice
Oof, thats a bad look
a shocking number of reviewers do this
including some associated with this discord directly, afaik
Well I'm glad I dont follow them. Scalping is scumbag behavior, scalping a free unit is worse
fwiw selling review units after you are done with them I think is perfectly normal
not everyone wants to hoard devices they won't use
scalping for a higher price than retail is another matter though
Especially for an SKU that just recently got an indefinite delay by the company for all currently unshipped orders due to the ram issues.
and especially when they got it for free
a reviewer could resell their device at or below MSRP and still turn a profit
fwiw I think the RH reviewer who resells their devices does generally sell for near list price
also full disclosure there's a part of me considering picking up a used Steam Deck OLED in the meantime and possibly immediately reselling my Odin 3 Ultra upon delivery if I end up not needing it
weren't these listings all still sealed? 
yeah, I don't think these listings are review units
review units were all Maxes, not Ultras, afaik
yeah the sealed ones are pretty sus
some were mismarked as Pro but I believe they were all actually Maxes
quick search in the odin 3 shipping channel on the AYN server shows there were a couple days in the last week when ultra models were being shipped
Sure, but there are several other options. Toddtronics did a charity auction, the RH guys are doing a community giveaway, you can gift stuff to friends and family.
There's already a financial incentive to give positive reviews to devices just to get a free unit of the next device. This is an unfortunate aspect of reviews in general because most people cant afford to purchase every device in order to make a review. Sellling a device after giving a review also creates a financial incentive to tell their community that it's a good device and then make a profit off of the people who valued their opinion. This is, in my opinion, worse than getting paid to do a review.
This was a sealed unit, so it's obviously not a review unit. Still a scalper though
a lot of small time reviewers sell the devices when they are done with them. They don't make money from their channel really. labor of love.
selling at market price doesnt really mean scalping. ebay takes 12.5%
i try to avoid ebay in order to give someone a better deal.
(i am not a reviewer, i am just saying personally when i sell stuff)
It's not about the size of the channel or how big their income is, it's just the principal. That's just the standard I have. Other people have different standards and thats fine
a lot of times the sales just go towards buying more devices to review, though
to create more content for people to enjoy
Again, different standards. I have no issues with someone buying a device, reviewing it, and then selling it. But when it was given to someone for free, it's a different situation.
Ppl try to lowball me crazy here i just go to ebay
ebay isnt any better lol
just different issues to deal with. scammers, chronic returners, etc.
That happened to you?

I bought one from AYNâs site yesterday (Black Max) and it already shipped. Will be here Friday.
Just a heads up for anyone on the fence like I was.
wait what? huh
I bought a Black Max yesterday. I was prepared to just until January for it to get here but I woke to a shipping notification this morning.
Not complaining obviously but I was pretty surprised
Nice. Yeah that's insane đ good work
Got my rainbow Max yesterday. Still working on setting it up. Retroarch isn't working for some reason? No matter what I try to play I just get a black screen. Very weird.
BIOS files are in place, but this happens even for systems with no BIOS
Gotta look deeper at it after work today
Change the graphics driver from openGL to vulkan
Most reviews talk about this.

Screen protector got me beat lol, I put a similar one like this on the RP5 fine, but this one... Nah... Off it goes lol, just gonna have to be mega careful with it
100W charger, 100W cable, 46% battery, only 25W charging đ
Face buttons lovely and quiet 
@novel panther hows the plastic texture/quality? is it a fingerprint/oil magnet like the odin2?
xd
Feels gooood. I prefer the texture of the plastic to the grip actually. Kinda disappointed with the smooth grip - the Portal's grip was all textured and nice
I've put my fingers on the nakey plastic and not seeing any smudges, however, I've found that's never really a problem for me, so I think I'm just less oily than some lol
wait, your shipping was mega fast?
6 days! Never seen 4PX be that fast before
It is, quite literally, a Christmas miracle
!!!
is it gritty/textured similar to like anbernic's transparent plastic? that and the odin2 are my only current devices for reference
yes wtf
Feels like the RP5's plastic if you've felt that
Which Anbernic do ya have?
unfortunately no, but that plastic does look like its great against fingerprints
a transparent black 28xx and a solid black 34xx
Oh wait transparent? No idea
i have a solid black 34xx too, its good enough for my fingerprint/oils
just havent seen much black odin 3 reviews/vids on youtube so i couldnt tell the plastic quality for sure
I'd say it'll be a step above the cheaper Anbernic devices for sure. And it feels way more premium than the smooth plastic of the black RG556
sounds promising, my only real problem with odin2 when playing is it leaves fingerprint/oil marks eventually
Now make my ultra appear đđ
Skill issue 
I kinda hope they make these for Odin 3. I have these on my RP5 and RPG2. Great screen protectors
24GBs of RAM baby
Yeah, finally good GBA emulation.
Can it run NES at full speed ?
@novel panther Can you post the steps from Nancheng to destination ?
Mine's in Hong Kong. đŹ
DISCLAIMER: This is abnormally fast for 4PX and you shouldn't get your hopes up! sand_pest and his associates are not liable for any disappointment or sadness you may feel
You really do disclaim like a pro.
I'm just out here disclaimin'
Assuming your shipping reflects ideal conditions, I might get mine on Saturday.
Which means in French terms (I translate for the children and the foreigners) it should be here around next Wednesday.
Christmas Eve! Hope so for ya đ€
No no no, a DPD LABEL was created.
I am not sure at all that DPD got their grubby mitts on the package yet.
delivery company was like "fuck we have to get this to @novel panther FAST! don't ask questions just do it!"
Yeah dude ! He might disclaim us otherwise !
-# I've seen him disclaiming 4PX like, you know, POOF. Disclaimed.
DPD does this, you get no updates until one day it randomly shows up in your door step (or your neighbors door step depending on how DPD feels that day)
Yuck.
"Oh well, I'm only out $400, life is just fine."
you'll probably get it, just arm yourself with patience
I asked for it at local armourers.
Easy come easy go
you'll need the special edition armor
â Do you sell patience ? It's for an international delivery.
â Sorry sir, I'll ask my colleague. HEY GEORGE ? DO WE GOT PATIENCE FOR INTERNATIONAL DELIVERIES ?
-# â [muffled groan] âŠlook at the sniper rifles in the back, right next to the cartons of ValiumâŠ
â [comes back with a rifle and a box of Valium] That'll be $1757.50 for the lot. I recommend trying the drugs first.
Oof my case has that Chinese factory stank, never had that with an AYN case before, time to let it air out for a few days...
Ouch. I had that with all the cases I got from AliExpress.
They always needed about a week. đ
Odin 3 on Wifi 7, 6Ghz band; PC connected via Ethernet; fuckin 0.00ms decoding times most of the time, I had to wait a while to even get that pic at 0.01ms
ZERO ?!
That's a lot of money for zero.
I'd ask for a refund.
I'm still on 2.4GHz wifi.
Mate...
Da fuq
Can you put your ISP's router into modem mode and use your own wifi router? That's what I did to get wifi 7
I really should but for that I'd have to buy a router. đ
Well at least get a router that gives you the 5GHz band lol
The only devices I use on my home wifi are my handhelds (once, for scraping) aaaaaand⊠that's it.
You don't even need wifi 6 for that
I guess youtube, movies, tv shows, etc are all fine at 2.4Ghz speeds, even at 4K
Actually I should ask my ISP to upgrade my box.
-# AND buy a proper router, yes yes yes.
Pretty much, and I consume all that from my desktop. Wired.
Ahhh fair enough
But you're entirely right, I should get ready to enter the 20th Century anytime soon.
The big thing is that I discovered last week that my dad has an Amazon Prime account.
So I tested it for Luna and it works really well wired.
That's an enticement to get better wifi. đ
Strange, reviewers seem to be getting numbers slightly under 1ms?
Yeah, I do wonder if they've got quite the optimum setup as me. I have the 6GHz band all to myself in my whole area, concentrated entirely in the room where my PC and router both are lol
Decoding time should not be affected by network if I understand it correctly (network latency is shown in a different line, in your case 4ms)
I did think it might be an issue at first, but it feels smooth af to play, and sometimes the value does go to 0.01 (I've even seen 0.02!), and if I try to use a higher bitrate than needed, it gets to around 0.34
Oh okay, showing my n00bness đ
mine's still stuck at the destination airport according to tracking 
Ah mate
when did yours ship?
week ago
Gutted
Mine are racing each other đ
Wonder what odds Bet365'll give me on the Max arriving first đ€
Man I really don't like the smooth feel of this grip. I think I prefer using it without, even if it's less ergonomic, just cause the Odin 3's plastic feels so much nicer than the TPU
This is like the exact opposite of the Portal and its grip
Is it the same material/texture as the Thor?
The plastic on the devices themselves? Yeah they feel pretty similar, maybe the Odin 3 is slightly smoother than the Thor, but still feels really nice
And the built-in grips of the Odin 3 are textured like an RP5 and they feel really good in the hand, if only they were a bit bigger!
Ahh, gotcha gotcha. Did you get the additional grip for the O3?
Why did you get three different version ?
one of each sku in each colour, that's how he rolls
4px hate this guy
because he breaks their backs
I like testing different versions, colours and money is also a factor. But mostly its to go in the museum/shine đ
Yeah i got the accessories pack, wish i wouldn't have now tho, the screen protector is impossible (i consider myself good at putting them on, and it beat me!), and the case you get is for the grip + device, which tbf IS what I wanted back when I thought the grip would be good...
I know the saying.
"Mo' money, mo' handhelds."
Youâre talking to someone with 90+ handhelds currently. Sanity went out the window ages ago
Same here, I kind of expected the full-face, shaped screen protector to be easy to apply. đŹ
I have it on the RP5 and it's a perfect fit, no bubbles, nothing.
I'll share my own experience trying to put it on in a few weeks, when it arrives.
That's insane. You're sick.
You really should think about collecting something more useful.
-# Stamps ?
Buy, setup, display, repeat
yeah petey is a little bonkers đ we love him tho
he just needs to sell me one đ
But what if he needs it?!

That's good
@novel panther did you get that free tpu shell thing with yours?
Not the grip
The thing like this. I remember some small print about free with orders
Mine is finally out for delivery my clear blue Max
I've seen lots of people in the Chinese forum say the same thing that they had trouble applying it
gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers
albeit I will say, you probably have way more high-end devices
I sold a lot of my powkiddys recently. That was a big hit to my collection numbers
noooo, not the Powkiddys!
Yep! Not taken it outta the box tho lol
I've tried only one PowKiddy : the x55.
It was gloriously garbageful.
I actually remember a PK apologist on whichever handheld server it was ; I was complaining that the x55 didn't always want to boot up at all, and he went "some mornings I don't want to get up, same diff"
Iâm going to borrow that one
I have quite a few PK still, mainly rgb30s tho 
rgb10x, v10, rgb20sx
that's about it 
These speakers are crazy lol
Overall, what a great handheld
The fan noise when playing Switch at Max Perf, Smart fan is annoying tho, could hear it over Mario Odyssey at a volume I'd normally play at
I got it too, ended up putting it on. It's like the perfect amount of grip for the unit for my hands.
I haven't tried Switch on it yet . Never actually emulated Switch at all. But Wind Waker HD ran real purty for an hour or so
Also Destiny ran well, but I'm not sure I like it much yet
howâs the sticks @novel panther closer or exactly like a TV console?
So looking at the sticks, they don't seem that different compared to other handhelds. But I played some Ball x Pit where you're constantly moving both sticks, and they feel SO GOOD! They feel tighter than any handheld stick, i would say very slightly tighter than a PS5 controller, like they have juuust the right amount of tension. I love 'em!
I know most devices have the power to do this but man, PS1 at 5x, but then with downsampling set to "box" so the 3D and 2D stuff doesn't look jarring, PGXP correction, and then standalone DuckStation's CRT-NewPixie [ReShade] shader (as seen in a recent ftn stream!)... It's so incredible to look at
whoa
Watching a YouTube video about Duckstation where I learned about Downsampling changed my life lol
meanwhile, my 476h cant do 3x bushido blade lol
Oh can it not?! Maybe we need the 8 Elite for PS1 afterall lol
well, T820 isnt exactly the fastest chip lol
sd 8 gen 2 could definitely do 5x
@tidal oak that doesn't sound right, there's a setting I remember that kills fps even on high end devices
I'm in ps3 mode right now so it isn't coming to mind
now imagine the official remasters to look anywhere nearly as good 
mine left chinese airport
as someone who finished FFTA (again) on my odin2 earlier this year, i cant wait to do it again on the odin3 
is that a screen protector? those bubbles would drive me insane
My odin 3 pro rainbow should be at my door tomorrow or Friday
Itâs to help cool it
stuck in the warehouse
My pro missed the flight. Got left behind
Ware in the house you ask
looks like they dont know either
Mine got left on Tues lol but on its way today
The Ultra is quite obviously a Macaulay.
-# "What's that handheld ? It's a Mac."
Is Anyones gamehub tripping out on their Odin 3 just got mine and the downloads are just starting and stopping
is gamehub working for you download wise
@novel panther better cash in those bets. Max is in the lead
Ooh and your Max is the one they sent on the day where no Max models were supposed to ship! This could be your surprise đ Ultra or your surprise âčïž Pro
I will just be happy my ultra is real đ«
Still showing as unshipped
I said itâs name and it changed đ€Ł
