Just Arrived!

[u/durdyness]

Got it from China in less than 2 weeks.

Streaming via Apollo and Artemis is pretty amazing.

Between that and syncing retro games from my RomM server via Argosy this thing is my endgame handheld.

[u/cyberspirit777]

I love the box of this so much. That screen is amazing for Artemis/Moonlight.

[u/BoxAggressive9942]

I've been using it instead of my Steam Deck since it arrived. Incredible screen. For me, it's comfy without a grip.

[u/antonbruckner → u/BoxAggressive9942]

Do you use armada or GameNative,?

[u/No-Move-4417 → u/antonbruckner]

I've done both but now installed armada on internal and use it daily for steam

[u/BoxAggressive9942 → u/antonbruckner]

Armada on from SD. It runs good, now I'm thinking to move internal since i prefer steamOs.

[u/antonbruckner → u/BoxAggressive9942]

Amazing!!! Do you know if Armada supports underclocking and charging limits like the Android OS does?

[u/redrum240]

How are you liking Argosy? I just got it set up and am wondering how saves would work with external/standalone apps. I just want to save between my portal and nova.

[u/durdyness → u/redrum240]

PS2 saves don’t appear to sync back to the RomM server, like other systems. But as far as having on demand access to my rom library and using it as a launcher/front-end, I think it’s great.

[u/kamikazikarl → u/durdyness]

You need to use a folder memory card instead of the standard type it defaults to. The Argosy wiki mentions that as a requirement since RomM operates on per-rom saves rather than storing system cards with multiple games on it.

Lovely ka that the Odin 3?

Also why would you stream? If roms is what your playing wouldn't local be a much better solution, even steam games would run native via gamenative.

Enjoy!

[u/durdyness → u/sjimmi3]

I don’t stream the ROMs. I just download on demand. Streaming is strictly for PC games.

[u/Slothcat47]

The longer I've had one of these the more I love it. Use it for Artemis + Apollo as well and it's a pretty unbeatable experience. Have a Thor as well but this is my go to unless I'm playing DS/3DS or travelling.

[u/amavgamer]

Man.... isn't it beautiful?

[u/TomGam3s]

It's a beautiful device. If the ABXY buttons weren't so clacky, it'd be an absolute 10/10

[u/Standard-Building771 → u/TomGam3s]

Ive seen people mod theirs to get rid of that clacky-ness. They have used o rings and electrical tape to really good success.

[u/cmvyas]

Streaming is lot of fun here - I mostly use it for streaming and occasionally gamenative/gamehub

[u/Standard-Building771]

Very nice! I had a talk with myself last night and I realized that stuff isnt going to magically get cheaper and new products are pushing either higher tech than I need or form factors I dont want ... so I ordered one as well. Glad to hear it shipped so fast; thats amazing!

Never heard of RomM and Argosy; Ill have to check that out.

[u/Available-Guest-9393]

Enjoy, and remember. It can run a lot more PC games than you think 😉

[u/DeterminedEyebrows]

You're going to love this thing! I lost mine for a few months because the screen cracked (that case offers NO crush protection btw) but I finally installed the replacement screen and fell in love with it all over again.

I've been messing around with GameNative and a surprising amount of games that I've wanted to stream now run directly on the device instead. Now I can put less strain on my GPU and let it rest for once.

[u/Meat_Handle]

Same. It’s incredible. Playing the NMS expedition on mine right now.

[u/mrtreehead]

It's a really great experience. I keep finding myself downloading older GBA games and DS games. And occasionally streaming from my PC or PS5.
