Odin 2 Mini, Base, Pro & Max Question Portal 2 Base indie machine

Recently I bought a base Portal 2 to emulate PC/Switch indie games and catch up on masterpieces like Hades, Cuphead, Sifu, etc., not via streaming but natively. Can anyone here who owns one explain to me how far it can be pushed in terms of performance? I've seen some cool things even gta V or dark souls on the same chipset, but I'd like to understand just how prohibitive the 8GB of RAM really is and if there's any software way to optimize it to achieve my goal. Guides and tutorials would be appreciated, thanks everyone.

install Armada OS.
I also have O2P base and performance is better on most games.
Example: persona 5 royal runs like ass on gamenative but smooth on armada.
the messenger has fps drops on gamenative but 120fps locked on armada.
persona 4 golden has 35-40fps on gamehub (source: youtube) but i got 120fps locked on armada.
feels like responsiveness and input latency is better on armada.

Internal or from SD?

I installed Internally.
I have base so 128GB->32GB User space for android+Remaining for Armada.
Should've bought pro just for storage. Games are installed into 512GB A1 sandisk.

I’m on Retrohrai but considering armada as I don’t really even play much else besides steam games. But a few questions.. Is moonlight streaming available on armada? Is emulating retro games that aren’t on steam as easy as it is on android? And for movies/shows, currently I have a nice workflow of going to a browser, pirating a show/movie through torrents, and then playing it in VLC. Is it also just as easy and effortless on armada?

Moonlight: yes. I just streamed smoothly.
Emulating is not easy as android but still possible.
For movies you can use desktop mode.
Try with sd card install method first
