The Odin Pro is Amazing! - PS2, Wii, GC, 3DS, and PSP Emulation Showcase 

How many games did you recognize from the intro?

I just wanna acknowledge how awesome your emulation montage was in the beginning...I know it took some time and we appreciate the effort you put into your videos!!

Just a tip for anyone wanting to play Drastic on devices like this, such as the RP2+ etc, you can adjust the 2 screen landscape mode to have the main screen fill the screen of the device, then overlay the secondary screen at, say a quarter of the size, at the bottom right of the main screen. Then you can map screen swap to swap between just the main display, and the 2 screen landscape mode so it basically looks like at the press of a button that you're showing and hiding the bottom screen. Useful for games where you'll need to have both displays visible.

The handheld scene is looking really exciting this year. All the other companies now have to step up to match what the Odin is doing. I’m really impressed by these results.

Wow Taki! The amount of games you tried out for this video are outstanding! Mind blown and very well done. The Odin is a emulation beast.

The emulation montage at the beginning is one of the best things I've ever seen in a RU-vid video. Just fantastic.

I just wanna say your videos are so good. I watch them all even tho these devices are not for me. I can game on PC and on controllers but due to a condition that limits my hand movements I can never use these kinds of devices unfortunately. But I still can't stop watching your videos. Keep it up.

Being able to handle a decent number of ps2 games is impressive. Once the emulation of PS2 improves over time im sure the hardware can handle more.

Good video, my friend! Congrats!

Awesome, great content, as always! I'd love to see how GC SSX tricky or 3 run on this thing, and I'd really love to see a breakdown of performance differences between the pro, base, and lite, especially when it comes to DC and up!

I just got mine yesterday! Can't wait to try it out. Thanks Taki for all of your videos.

That video introduction through game generations, what a beautiful sequence Taki!

WOW that was amazing! Thank you Taki Udon! I wasn't sure about getting one of these but I am now!!

Thanks for this content Taki! Loving the production values of your last few vids. I'm definitely intrigued by Odin, but as I've got a Steamdeck reservation I'm going to hold out. Shipping an Odin Pro to the UK with a case and a couple of cheap accessories pushes this to £290 GBP, which still feels like a lot for an SD845 device, with the risk of added VAT/import duties in Europe. I have a Black Shark 3 Pro phone, so will keep using this with a modified Gamsir X-2 controller for now. That said, from the videos, this really looks like a complete product with decent UI and a lot of thought has gone into this. If it was a third cheaper, I'd be sorely tempted. I fear if they launch at retail with a price north of the IGG pre-order, it would be a hard device to sell. That would be a shame, as Odin looks very polished so could eventually have mainstream appeal, emulation aside.

Do you ever get tired of playing the introductory levels for these games over and over with each new system? 😛 Excellent review as always!

Hey Taki, would love to see a video from you on how to set up the Odin with tips and tricks to make it easy for us. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this! Can't wait for my pro to come in!!

Damn this thing seems like an absolute beast. Exactly what I've been hoping/waiting for even if it is definitely on the more expensive side.

Were nearly there guys! One more generation after this one and we will have achieved hand held emulation perfection

I just want to take the time to say great job on the video. That was a lot of content, densely compacted into a 30-minute video. The editing must have been a nightmare. Thanks for putting out great content and in such a short notice. Shows your commitment to the community and this small niche of products. It really does help us make better purchasing decisions.

Your best video yet, editing, sound and everything

I bought the RG552 not too long ago, being aware of this coming out, but my greatest concern was the whole IGG thing - something I partially regret after seeing how well this emulates everything. My hope is that this product does amazingly and is flawless and has an ever better successor within the next few years that would be a nice upgrade from the RG552. For me, the RG552 does everything I need it to, but I know down the road it'll hit a wall from the limited processor. The Odin does look spectacular and I love the dock so I'll be rooting for its success and hopefully it's successor!

I've been collecting games for years and all these new handheld devices + having to store years of physical games really makes me consider getting one of these and consolidating my collection. I could sell probably 10 games, buy one of these things, and then put the ROMs on there.

Incredible Video Taki as always!

mine is out for delivery today, so excited!

It's even better than I had hoped. Thanks Taki! Enjoy Chinese New year.. while I'm wishing for it to be over so my Odin gets shipped 😜

This video was amazing. I'm happy with the things it can run. Although you said that the 3DS is not very good, I thought it was running well. Just one doubt. Will there be any video instructions or something for configuring the emulators (especially 3DS and PS2)? I thought you said that in your last video, but I'm not sure

This video is gold! Thank you Taki!

When you get a intro as dope as that you appreciate being subscribed...good job Taki

wake me up when we get a clamshell handheld with these specs for under $150, that's my dream atm, wonder how far off in the future that would be...

The system looks great but I do hear some sound delay and at times graphical issues on the DS side of things. Hopefully things get fixed up. Would love to purchase one of these. Be fun to play games on the go and maybe see if hacks and randomizers will work on the system.

that intro was pure nostalgia, thank you for putting that together

I like how you snuck in that Persona at the very tiny end of your video. Overall great review of multiple games. I think I'm going to be waiting on my transparent black pro for a bit 🤠

Excited for the windows showcase. Great work as always!

I'd like to see a video more in-depth on the dock. Hopefully that works as well as this seems to.

Dang, Taki. That intro was very well done.

I rewatched the intro in slow motion so I could take it all in. Excellent lighting!

Seeing F-Zero GX run so buttery smooth brought a tear to my eye. This thing is a beast! 💪🏾

I would really like to see you get your hands on a steam deck

Excellent video! I just got my Odin so this video was clutch. Thanks!

I was thinking of getting the Retroid pocket 2 plus or the RG552 but this video has completely changed my mind! I’ll definitely be ordering an ODIN pro!! Thanks so much for introducing me too it

Dude.... that intro was straight 🔥🔥🔥

Just had my Pro and Dock delivered today. Can't wait to try it out 😎

hey taki. great video. thanks for the contributions for the comunity. Will be possible to show us some video about the dock working and the acessories, like gamecube controlls or some storage games on hard drive? and how de console behavior on the dock - tv - maybe some output average on tv. thanks again

Dude, great job with the audio on this video.

Taki please can you do a video with the settings you are using for these emulators? I can't get things to run as smooth as you have them. Especially Wii and PSP.

Well this is impressive. Really puts Anbernic to shame with its RG552.

Awesome, I am sold. Great video.

thanks for all the effort bro!

Nice, I would personally not use it to emulate ds,3ds,psp, since I own those devices but I would love to use it for Dreamcast and n64

Excellent video, thank you so much for such a thorough evaluation. I have a few questions: 1) What advantages does Mupen64Plus GLES3 have over Mupen64Plus FZ? 2) Same thing for FlyCast vs ReDream. 3) For PPSSPP, Dolphin, and all high-end emulators that support Vulkan, most users tend to prefer using OpenGL instead. Why is that?

Nice Video Taki. Keep it up. Hope you have fun during testing Windows soon😁

Love the intro!

Thanks for the review! I'm wondering if you could occasionally include the recompiled port for Super Mario 64 in your tests, and what kind of mods/upgrades work for the system? I think there are Windows, Linux, and Android ports for this now. And we should be seeing something like this soon for Ocarina of Time as well.

Once PS2 runs flawlessly on most titles this is my unicorn. I wanted portable PS2 since I was a kid and this finally coming together after almost 20 years really is a dream come true. PORTABLE GRAN TURISMO 4, HELLO??? + wow Im really old now.

How are you the only one after all this time still to answer all my questions about this. THANK YOU!

Prefect timing! Mine waiting at home.

That's killer performance for an SD 845 chip! I picked up a razorphone 2 for a portable gaming device and it struggles with the majority of gamecube games.

Really tempting for the performance you get out of ps2 and GameCube which should only get better with software updates and since the pro is the same as base it'll be the same for performance while costing less.

I’m definitely getting one of these!

Thanks for this review

I think they have a solid product here. With a few improvements and a slightly lower price this would be seriously interesting.

What I really care about would be a showcase of the difference of the three versions. Especially in the upper range. Is DS, 3DS, GC and PS2 playable on the Base? How about the Lite?

Yeah an awesome device, really would love a in-depth dive on cloud functionality

Great stuff man

Seeing Dirge of Cerberus and the KH games on a handheld device puts such a huge smile on my face. I used to dream about exactly that as a kid. Can't wait to get mine. I wonder how Shadow Hearts 2 will run on it

Okay fine I'll get one

Why isn’t this channel like a million subs. This is good content

It's so weird seeing some of these games on a handheld....great video

But can it run Killer Instinct Arcade w/MAME core (2003)

I don’t even touch my Anbernic RG351P anymore, but god damn do I want to get this.

That intro with all those emulators was the coolest thing ever

Great video can't wait to receive mine. Look forward to a Windows 11 game demo

Hey Taki, I haven't received my device yet because I just put an order in very recently, but when I was watching videos on the Odin I noticed that the built in menus have a lot of capitalization inconsistencies. It's an extremely minor gripe, but I think the UI would look a lot more polished if the menu titles and sentences were all capitalized correctly. The wording could also use some cleaning up. For example, in the "Performance Mode" settings they all repeat "Mode" at the end of each option when personally I think it would be better if it just said "Performance", "Standard", and "High Performance" Though honestly I think "Low", "Medium", and "High" would be better word choices for this part of the menu. I understand that AYN is a small company based in China, and maybe they aren't that great with English (which is understandable). But I think this would be a great addition to a future OTA update. I mean it's honestly not the biggest issue in the world, but I think for a premium product like this the grammar and wording decisions could be a bit better. Since you've already had direct contact with AYN and you're also based in China yourself (and have been sent test units in the past), do you think you could forward this type of suggestion to them? I think they would probably pay attention to you more vs a random stranger. You also might be able to explain it to them better.

Awesome video, Taki. Do you think you might do another video like this for the steam deck eventually?

Subbed just because of that cool intro.

I would love to see if Skies of Arcadia: Legends would work on the GC emulator

I really hope AYN are giving you a commission because THE HYPE!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I know I've already commented to the contrary on this video, but now that I've seen what the Odin can really do from yourself and other content creators, such as run Steam and Windows games, Android games *with* built-in key mapping, and excellent emulation, I'm beginning to think this device is a sleeper Steam Deck with a price that undercuts Valve's upcoming hardware. Although I doubt the two devices will go toe to toe with the likes of "The Big Three", I think Odin and Steam Deck will be worthy competitors, and perhaps the Odin more so with its excellent capabilities and pricing. Thank you for your great content, as always!

These intros are seriously fantastic

love all your vids man! Just wanted to note tho that I ran Twilight Princess on Dolphin on my S9+ and had no issues until you first leave the town at the begining and head into the forest then everything started to have issues just thought id throw it out there that the game doesn't hit its highest frames until that part! Possibly the Odin would have no issues but just thought I'd mention it!

I want to get this, but tbh I really can’t decide between the lite & the base :/ the overclock makes the base more worth it, but between the base & pro I’m torn… For the price (+shipping & the dock/case) it’ll end up probably being around $325/$350. I know everyone will say just get a steam deck, but tbh I’m not a huge fan of the size for portability reasons🤔

I'm buying this specifically for Initial D games, so seeing you playing an Initial D game not even 3 minutes in brought a smile to my face. Such underrated game adaptions.

I wish I got after this earlier. I ordered mine a little under a week ago. Definitely gonna be on the last run of shipments.

Hard to read FPS in Gamecube games, are they running full speed, or close to? Would you be able to try the Gamecube Rogue Squadron games and see how they run? They have always been a pain in emulation.

I want this so bad.. but I know I’ll just end up loading up GBA roms to play for 5 minutes and collect dust. Just like all 20 of the other handhelds I’ve impulsively purchased since the release of the pocket go

What the heck??? It felt like your production budget went from a 100$ to 100M$ haha Amazing job Taki

The intro was so good dude. Keep up the great work. You're one of my all time fav retro handheld RU-vidr.

It would be really nice if you could zoom in a bit in your videos. Because on a phone viewing the video, the console screen looks very tiny. More than half of your framing is empty space/not important stuff around it.

Would Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3 on the PS2 work full speed on this device ??

Just waiting for mine to arrive it just shipped!

It's amazing how a processor with ventilation can be better than the same one without it... it's impressive what it performs...

Amazing video! I do have 1 important question... During the PSP portion of this video you mentioned that the Odin Pro GPU was putting in some extra work to ahieve the 4x resolution. Do you think that the Odin Lite will be able to handle 3x at 60 fps?

Does the extra 4gb of ram make much of a difference over the base model?

Wow that intro was impressive bro

Taki you have created a very nice device!

I'm using my Odin Pro for the past couple of days now and can't say that it has a flawless GC / Wii performance. Yes, most games run fine but the heavy hiters cause problems. @Taki why haven't you tried Starfox Adventures, Star Wars Rogue Leader or Auto Modellista for gamecube? Or Excite Truck and Conduit 2 for Wii? These games are know to be pretty performance hungry and the Odin Pro does not emulate them well

Last video you shown having 3 dolphin emulators but you only showcased dolphin mmjr in this video. That would be great if you could tell us more about that. Also, have you tried the dev builds, they're pretty good in term of performance and accuracy

Hey great video! I would like to see you add in a few sports games like madden on your virtual consoles. There has big a big boom of people wanting to emulate older sports games especially on the ps2! Thanks!

Amazing 😮 Thanks
