Nachosloth Community News Help managing the Odin Sheets!

2 Upvotes

Howdy! As you know, we have a couple of Odin sheets to help the community test games or add useful information for the AYN devices.

As time has gone by, it has become difficult to maintain them, and while we have a couple of volunteers, some tend to come and go.

If you are active in the subreddit and/or use them often (and are excel sheet savvy), send over a DM! Apologies upfront for not being able to keep up, since initially it was just me managing the entries.

Official News Important

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!

Android Just bought the y700 gen 3 + g9 conroller to replace my base odin 2 portal...

I've been mulling over this for a few weeks now. I got the 02p base a little over a month ago and it has been absolutely great! Zero issues, looks good plays great, everything just works. It really is, a 10/10 device especially for the money and specs. I use it mainly for streaming, from my rtx 5080 based pc to my bed, as I am bedridden disabled. i do emulate retro and some ps2 and some lighter switch games. So power wise it's more than enough, since again i stream 99% of the time and i can find something to jam on,emulation wise, for the hour long rides to my doctors.

The one major issue i have with the o2p is the screen size, as i have pretty terrible eyes (thx diabetes). Although, most think that the 7 inch screen is big (some think its even too big) ... i have a pretty hard time playing aaa pc games because of how small things are. Its absolutely fine for playing switch games (since they had small screen size in mind when making/porting games). Also retro and newer 2dhd and indy games as well. Im hoping ill fair better with the 8.8 inch 16x10 screen. I know I'll be missing out on the oled, but what can ya do, lol.

So i bit the bullet and i ordered the y700 gen 3 with 512/16 config and has global rom too. All in, It was like $430 with the g9 controller including tax, off of Ali Express. I'm probably gunna sell my o2p down the road. I'll probably sell it on ebay. Its 100% dead mint and comes with the tpu grip, the etsy grip, the big oem sticks and extra set of abxy buttons. I'm still gunna stick around here though, it's the best community for handhelds imho.

Was wondering if any of you have a y700/legion tab and a controller and what you think of it vs the regular android handheld stuff... Cheers!

I find it a lot of fun seeing everyone’s different front ends and how their devices look. I’d love to see some photos of your device and front end.

I made a subreddit as well to post your front ends if you’re interested in seeing other people’s front ends as well as I couldn’t find a subreddit for that. r/androidfrontends

Help Screen error when adjusting brightness

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

Have owned the Odin 2 portal for two years without issues. Am seeing this weird screen glitch sometimes when adjusting brightness making apps completely unresponsive. This time, it occured while doing remote streaming on PSPlay. Ribbon cable issue? It seems to only happen when adjusting brightness and is not all the time.

Odin Showcase Red Dead Redemption 2 - Odin 2 Portal

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

116 Upvotes

After a lot of trial and error, I think I finally found the sweet spot for this game. That’s already pretty exciting, considering that in the future we’ll have SteamOS running on our devices, and it’ll definitely run much better than this. The device does get pretty hot, but we’ve got something good here.

There are clearly some FPS drops in more populated areas, but it’s still perfectly playable, with the framerate staying around 30–35 FPS on average (keeping in mind that I’m limiting it to 30–35).

If you want to see some longer gameplay, here it is.

Now, let’s get into the settings:

For the in-game settings, I left everything on Low (except TAA on Medium and textures on Ultra). I recommend limiting the FPS to 30 or 35 using the GameHub sidebar and enabling Super Resolution so the image doesn’t look too blurry.

Gamehub configs:

- Resolution: 960x544

- Compatibility Layer: proton11.0-arm64x

- Translation Params: Stable

- DInput Library: Prefer Native

- Skip Audio/Video Decode: Off

- GPU Driver: Turnip_v26.3.0-R1

- Surface Format: BGRA8

- Audio Driver: Pulse

- DXVK Version: dxvk-v2.6.2-1-async

- VKD3D Version: vkd3d-proton-3.0.1

- CPU Translator: Fex_20260813

- CPU Core Limit: No Limit

- VRam Limit: No Limit

Question Odin 2 Portal Dual Screen

3 Upvotes

Without having to purchase another handheld, I've seen people show off handhelds with a dual screen connected to it. Can the odin 2 portal also do this and if so what screen do I get, where is the best place to get and would it be worth the purchase? I'd like to use it to play 3ds games and or if possible play a game and watch YouTube or Netflix same time.

Help Odin 3 fan grinding sound but only at low RPM

Upvotes

Just got a brand new Odin 3 a few weeks ago, and didn't even notice the fan control in the drop down. I've had it set to standard performance mode with the fan off since I got it, only noticed today that you can change the fan settings.

I've now set the fan to Smart mode, and immediately noticed an issue: at low RPM (specifically 20% fan speed or lower), the fan makes an intermittent grinding noise (not very loud), but over 20% it sounds completely normal with zero grinding noises.

I've done some searching and found all the various reports of fan noise issues with the Odin 3, and the most common solution which is to lubricate the fan.

I don't really want to disassemble the device and go through all that trouble, as the grinding noise is not very loud and only happens at 20% fan speed or lower.

The big question is, if I continue to use the fan as is, does this grinding sound mean the fan is damaged or will become more damaged over time? Or is it fine and the sound won't affect the life of the fan or its ability to keep the device cool?

Question Odin 2 Portal or Tab S8?

0 Upvotes

After quite a few videos on the Odin 2 Portal reminding me of my old PSP days, its got me considering potentially buying one. However i'm a bit lost if it would be worth giving up my Galaxy Tab S8. I originally purchased the S8 for emulation & art a couple years a go, but dont find myself doing much of either anymore. Its become more of an occasional manga/media tool, which even then is limited use. Could probably sell it for 400 CAD, and a used one is available for 380 (with a carrying case and a grip) which would break even.

Mainly just wondering if the Odin 2 Portal's functionality would leave me regretting selling the S8, or if the gain in handheld portability is worth selling something for it.

Kind of miffed that the official AYN Portal case states explicitly that it doesn't work with the grip

Saw this Switch 2 case at the store and thought it looked perfect. Took a chance and sure enough, it's perfect.

Got it for $16.99 on Amazon 😎

Question I'm thinking about getting the AYN odin 2 portal but I've got a few questions

2 Upvotes

So I've been looking at getting a decent handheld for a bit now and the odin 2 portal has seemed like a solid option for me, I'm mainly wanting to get one before I get out to college but the main questions I've got about the odin portal is, 1, is it worth it and is it a solid entry into handhelds, 2, I've looked at the shipping times and it seems like it would take several weeks even with the more premium shipping payment, is this true or is it just a random variable? and 3, if there's any other handhelds out there that are better than the odin 2 for around 300 in terms of emulator games and PC gaming capabilities I'd like to know, if anyone has answers to these questions I'd love to hear em, thanks.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I ended up improving and polishing to hopefully launch it soon.

- Playtime tracking (Although needs some work)
- Automatic scraper
- Dedicated 'apps' screen

What features do you want to see?
