The frame rate drop issue is related to emulator performance, not the console software. Most emulators take time to load shaders after launching a game. If you frequently play a specific game, it should run smoothly, but the cache of less frequently played games unloads over time, causing lag
I had the same issues with the same games on the PS2 emulator. Run using Vulkan and Audio Synchronization Mode in Async Mix. You'll have more fun after this.
My only problem with the odin 2 is the ghosting. Nobody talks about this but it is really bad on it. I wish they had a better display in terms of it. If that wasnt an issue for me it would be the perfect retro handheld.
There some things that's as others have mentioned here are the realm of the emulator and not for ayn to fix. The issue I have is with the on screen controller mapping. It some times misses inputs, mainly the analogue.
Great handheld, I was planning to buy this, but I decided to buy Ayaneo 2(used) instead, specifically because I paid the same price like Odin 2 Max.Ayaneo give me the same possibilities as Odin 2 and much more !!! Easy and right choice!
Pretty sure it's well known that Switch Emulators still aren't perfect. Any issues you are having with switch emulators are almost definitely related the the emulator not the AYN software.
For the device to be as big as it is, they could’ve put bigger buttons, I play on the PlayStation and I’m used to those type of bigger buttons and I hate the joystick locations. I wish they were more like the Playstation, that’s why I’m considering the RP4pro, but I think that this device is Futureproof for the most part
5:05 android will use as much ram as available to keep things snappy because its readily available in memory. You won't have any issues with a lack of ram because android will release the memory and reallocate it for you foreground app. Its not a windows PC its android. The issues you have with games are all emulator related. Its not for Ayn to fix, its the emulator developers that need to further optimize and fix. In the case of AetherSX its been abandoned and no longer gets updated. Yuzu is in its infancy on Android and it will be a while before it runs things close to perfect. I suggest you look up guides and forums to see if some of your performance issues have been addressed or fixed with settings.
I got a Logitech G Cloud. Its not as powerful. But i didn't like the placement of the D-Pad on the Oden. It just looks like it would be unconformable for 2D Games.
The odin is far more comfortable in the hand than you think. Plus it has so much more power than any other android device ..out there. I have odin 1 pro, Anbernic rg353v, Retroid pocket 3+ and Odin 2 pro clear blue..like them all ...but the odin 2 is an absolute beast of a handheld device compared to them.
Yes, the d-pad and analog sticks are an issue. They're too small and doesn't give you the precision needed in certain games. If you play casual or slow paced games, it won't be an issue.
nah sorry bro, you got meme'd shouldve went for a gen 3 device, not a gen 2. its 50% faster, and from my testing, runs carbon, mw and ug2 *perfectly* at 3x render res. its also more power efficient, so battery lasts longer. i'd try to get it refunded if i still could, and grab myself anything with a sd8g3 chip instead of sd8g2
lol sd8g3 was just released months ago, the price of this device might increase to 499usd if they use sd8g3. for that price people will go for steam deck instead
@@morpheusmorph13 for better performance, battery life and rendering resolution, I think it's worth the money. No cellular in steam deck so it's pretty meh
@@hoverbike cellular? lol people use hotspot and wifi. whats the point of having sim slot on this android handheld gaming device. its doesnt even have camera on it. its not the main focus this kind of handheld was created
@@hoverbike this device shouldn't be more than 300usd otherwise people might go for rog ally and steam deck instead. They know they wanna compete with low price advantage. No one's gonna buy it if the price is the same as the steam deck and ally. They wanna compete with other portable gaming not smartphones.
Don't be like that. Enjoy the device, but don't act like everything he's saying is user error. Some of the issues he mentioned are real issues with the Odin 2. We need videos praising the Odin 2 while allowing for criticism as well.

Finally Honest review thank you man

I hope they make Ayn Odin 3 or Ayn Odin Pro
Fuck that, I hope they make Ayn Odin 4 or Ayn Odin Pro Plus
user error
Input lag is normal when streaming games the better your internet and router is the better the input lag

He doesn't really play that game and it's compiling shaders. Maybe me the reason why they game is running slow
What island he from ?
Nuka Nuka Island 🏝️
Lol it's the emulators fault as the emulators are not that mature yet.

@@morpheusmorph13 less latency, no wasted battery on WiFi hotspot. Yknow. There are plenty of reasons, assuming it's not too expensive for you.

its a you problem not the product, buy something else that suits you
