Why the Odin 2 is STILL King
The Odin 2 has been out for about seven months, and I still play it all the time. In this video I want to talk about what sets it apart from the others, and why it's still my most-used handheld right now.

Creating The SIMPLEST Retro Handheld OS
zhlédnutí 85KPřed dnem
Today we're going to set up a retro handheld to be so simple and intuitive that a child (or a non-tech-savvy adult) can navigate it with ease. I'm calling it "StarkOS" simple, tailored ArkOS, and can be set up on over a dozen different handhelds. It takes a little work, but the end result will give you a stellar user interface (with custom box art) that is a joy to use. Written guide with pre-b...

After 15 years of waiting, Apple is now allowing retro game emulators on their App Store, and after a few crash-and-burn releases, we have the first legitimate emulator app on the store.

FPGBC Review: My Favorite Game Boy

    Shitty tiny buttons and sticks! Instead of fullsized controls. That's a major downside for the Odin 2. The Loki ( which no one mentions is unavailable to buy!?) has the best version of the controls. So Odin 3 needs to be a better Loki! x86 device with the battery endurance of the Odin 2 and higher performance of course.

    Hi just wanted to say i love your channel, an honest direct unbiased look at tech and thoughtful review process.got myself a ROG ally as a treat and to be honest all I wanted to play was Mortal Kombat/Golden Axe etc. I once owned a Sega Mega drive and was hoping to enjoy these games again. Can you recommend an emulator for the Sega Mega drive i would really appreciate it. Many Thanks.

    8bitdo actually sell one of those bluetooth to usb dongles as well, I use it to connect my ps4 controllers to my switch dock. It looks identical to the 2.4ghz dongles, but it's red brick coloured. For the most expensive one....why wouldn't you just buy a ps5 or 4 controller for that kind of money?

    So glad I got my Base model. And it's all thanks to you. Now you got me thinking to drop down the mode from performance to the lower mode, to see if PS2 and GC will be affected. I did find a few games that aren't really working great on NetherSX (not the Classic one, I have the other installed per your advice). Dirge of Cerberus isn't running at a 100%, no matter whether PAL or NTSC version. The same goes for Shadow Hearts, it dips quite a lot...any idea why?

    The recent sale for $30ish made this a really great value. I pull it out waiting in line at the store or whatever. It's currently my dedicated red version device. GBA is a little miserable on it, so I'm not sure if I'll stick to it or get a GKD pixel down the line, but it's great for all the reasons you mentioned. I got a little keyfob case it fits into right on my keyring and any time I need to kill 2 minutes I've got something right there and ready in my pocket without the bulk/weight of a 405m or RP3+. Honestly the lowered commitment to a serious experience makes it pretty appealing. It's become my go to for those short burst sessions.

    Hey, im looking at getting eithet this model or the ayn odin 2. Most likely this model cos its more in my price range. However if i was to buy on amazon the total price comes to 300 pounds in the uk. Is this because of shipping or should i just order on their website? 😊

    After 5 months Odin 2 exceeded my expectations. Ps2 and gamecube games plays flawlessly, switch games are amazing, battery life is longer than than the hours i can play before being tired. Like Russ said the only limit here is the time to play everything and the emulators still to develop. In fact, according to my needs, it's better this device than a ps5 or an Xbox. (oh i forgot i can play Xbox games too on odin 2 😅)

    I wasted a lot of money on these modded handheld game consoles. The Anbernic RG556 is so tempting to get. I just ordered the RG35XX H from the Tik Tok Shop. This Odin 2 looks really good to get but, I am not so addicted to gaming.
