Hey u/everyone,

Due to the high popularity of these handhelds, our community has been informing us about websites selling AYN devices and they're not affiliated with the company.

To avoid scams or overpaying for a handheld, make sure the website is only from AYN's website: https://www.ayntec.com/

Or from AYN's official Amazon and Aliexpress Shops:

https://www.amazon.com/s?me=AQ8MH5LD9VP09&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1105261141

Additionally, all official AYN admin and staff use emails under the ayn.hk address. Anyone pretending to be a part of the company using a different email address should be dismissed immediately.

Sadly, online scams are more insidious as time goes by, and AYN cannot guarantee any sort of protection if you purchase from non-AYN official site and shops. With that said, we can all help make this community safe by informing each other and staying alert if you see any unofficial site selling AYN devices.

Likewise, when buying a used handhelds online, we strongly advice you purchase those from sites with customer protection.

Thank you for making this a safe and cool community!

News Odin 2 Game Sheet and Form is now live!

218 Upvotes

Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know that the Odin 2 Game Compatibility sheet is now live and ready to be used. You can find the link for it in the subreddit's menu links, sidebar, or here!

Additionally, i you have a hard time sending any requests on the sheet, feel free to use the Odin 2 Game Help form we made here!

Once we receive our Odins, we can write down our best settings for games to run efficiently/the best way possible on Odin 2.

Also, feel free to write in requests for Odin 2 havers in the Write Here sheet.

Truth to be told, I did receive an Odin 2 slightly early. So far:

  • Super Mario Bros. Wonder
    Runs very well. Game fluctuates between 40-60 FPS, but it is fully playable and not distracting glitches occur or slowdown the gameplay
  • Sonic Superstars
    Runs perfectly
  • Super Mario Sunshine (Widescreen patch and 60FPS Gecko code)
    Runs without breaking a sweat. This was difficult to pull off in the Odin Pro.

Help atlus games

Post image
21 Upvotes

just got my odin 3 about a month ago and slowly been working on getting it set up with it being my first handheld of this sort. so much to learn and i like to take my time with it.

I’ve got a lot of the emulators set up including eden, and recently I’ve been fixated on atlus games like Catherine, Persona 3,4,5 and Metaphor.

has anyone here got the PC version of metaphor to run on Odin 3 and can you offer any help how to get it set up. along with PC versions of Persona 3 reloaded.

I already got Persona 5 royal on Eden and it runs decently enough with occasional graphic stutters. SMT V seems to be struggling to run and it crashes a lot but I just need to find the right driver. Persona 4 golden runs smooth as well, and Catherine runs smooth just occasional video cutscene glitches.

Loving the odin 3 so far though it’s just I have been using PXPLAY for the most part and want to switch to playing what I play locally on the device. thanks for the help.

Question Odin 3 Steam Link Remote Play controller issue (stick y axis)

Upvotes

I’m using Steam Link on my Odin 3 for the first time and have run into a weird controller issue.

The built-in sticks work perfectly everywhere else on the device, including the Steam Link app before I connect. But as soon as Steam Link connects to my PC and launches Big Picture, the analog stick Y axes go wack and it won’t let me navigate up.

I tested and the left stick won’t reach full up, and the right stick won’t reach full down. In Steam’s controller test, the left Y axis reaches about +23,500 up and -32,768 down, while the right Y axis reaches +32,766 up and only about -24,500 down.

If I connect a normal controller directly to my PC, everything works fine. It only happens with the Odin 3 over Steam Link.

Has anyone else run into this or found a fix?

Appreciate any help! :)

Question Slay the spire 2; Armada OS

3 Upvotes

Finally received my Odin 3 and decided after a little bit of emulation games later decided to install Armada os , I was trying to see if there’s anyone that has been able to get StS2 to work , I’ve tried almost all of the different compatibility options with still no luck. I’m not the best at configuring so I’m hoping someone has been able to manage to get this to work.

Question Should I get odin 3

0 Upvotes

I had steam deck for 3 years, used occasional, sold it and then got used ally x, used a bit more buy not too much. Then got used switch lite, use it every day.( One of the reason is I borrow games from my local library, I will try to finish as soon as possible to return, keeps me focussed) . Two things I love about switch are light weight and sleep to wake. Now I don't touch my ally x most the time due it's bulk.

Question is since I am enjoying switch lite the most should I get something like odin 3 or thor or odin 2 portal? Will it enhance my experience? ( To give context games I enjoyed, and finished on switch lite bayonetta 2, legend of zelda echoes of wisdom and hades for now. Now want to start mario odyssey).

Question Odin 3 worth it as a Thor owner?

0 Upvotes

Hey friends, I need some advice.

As the title mentions, I am thinking of buying an Odin 3, but I already own a base Thor and a Y700 Gen 4 tablet with telescopic controller for all types of gaming and streaming.

I guess I just thought having the portable horizontal form factor/extra performance would be nice for game native and switch titles that chug on my Thor.

That being said, I technically have 2 devices that already CAN do what the Odin 3 can do, but anyone else in here have similar devices and justified the purchase?

(Side note, I used to own a Portal and loved it but sold it as I didn’t use it much after getting the tablet, I miss it so much lol)

Question Considering Selling my Odin 3 Max

4 Upvotes

As the title suggests: I am not using the Odin as much as I would have imagined. It’s great for what it is. The speeds, the ease of setup, and just the versatility in of itself. I just don’t find myself picking it up to play as frequently as I imagined. I am also running into a need for a laptop so am considering getting a laptop that can game too. If I were to sell it, how much do y’all think I could get out of it? It’s basically brand new and was a part of the batch 4 before the memory changed. Still pondering all my options.

Edit: it is the purple one

Help Odin 3 Loose L2 Trigger Fix

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hello all, I recieved my Odin 3 recently and went down the rabbit-hole of the well documented loose L2 for a fix. I purchased my unit 2nd-hand unopened through eBay, transparent blue max model. Based on the manufacture date I suspect it is a Batch 6/7 unit. Following a post made by u/troabarton28, I popped the back off my unit and confirmed that it is the trigger itself rather than a loose screw, etc. Using their provided image (which I have annotated and included here), I applied a few pieces of Nexcare waterproof first aid tape to the area highlighted below. Again, this picture is courtesy of u/troabarton28 who claimed to use plastic glue to a similar effect. Filling this gap beneath the 3 circled prongs with the soft adhesive tape completely eliminated the loose feeling and rattle when shaking my unit after closing. If it returns, I will likely move on to the glue next. Cheers and hope this helps someone else doing obsessive googling like I was!

Odin Showcase An Embarrassment of Riches

Months of scouring the second hand market for deals has finally yielded results! I now own an Odin 3 Ultra, Odin 2 Portal Max, and a Thor Max (1TB 4.0). Next is to decide which one to keep and move on from the others, but it's a unique opportunity to have them all in front of me at the same time. Sadly there is no perfect device so I'll be left with some trade off. Either portability/utility (Thor), size/comfort (Portal), or power (Odin 3).

For some reason I cannot figure out, my left stick does not work when using NetherSX2. Only time where this is an issue. I’ve tried resetting all setting, remapping, updating the app, no luck. It registers the stick click but not movement of the stick. Why is this happening to me? I’m losing it lol

Help Can't connect the Odin 2 portal to my monitor or TV

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I got the Odin 2 portal a month ago and I am very happy with it. But I can't connect it to my monitor or TV. For the monitor i have a USB-c to Display port cable that works with my phone and laptop, but not the Odin 2. My TV has a type-c port as an input and I tried to use the cable that comes with the device, but it didn't work with anything. So I have two questions.

  1. How to fix the connection with my monitor?

  2. What cable should I look for to make it possible to connect my Odin 2 to my TV?
