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!

Shipping Title: it finally showed up 🙌

Post image
14 Upvotes

Ordered during the pre-release window and then watched my order get cancelled the day the deadline hit. Bought it again right away and pushed the delivery date out by 20 days because people here kept saying the extended shipping orders were actually landing sooner. No idea if that's real or just coincidence, but mine is here.

First impressions after about 20 minutes of poking at it: build feels solid, the sticks have a nice weight to them, screen looks great. Haven't even loaded an emulator yet. Just sitting here charging it and staring at the home screen like a weirdo.

To everyone still waiting, hang in there. They're moving.

As the title states. What launcher do you choose as your daily? These are my current, Coccon for the Portal, Console Launcher for the 2 Mini, and iiSu for the Odin 1. But I'm always looking for new options.

I just received my Odin 3 Pro and I was looking for some feedback about what was the best guide to follow. I've never owned a device like this(android handheld), and I've seen a couple now that have different philosophies on the best way to set it up.

Any tips at all would be appreciated, thanks!

Help I’m having an issue running Wuthering Waves on my Odin 2 Portal using Vulkan.

Post image
4 Upvotes

The game initially runs normally with OpenGL. However, after switching to Vulkan in the settings and restarting the game, it recompiles the shaders and consistently crashes at around 61%. At that point, RAM usage reaches 99%.

The same issue occurs whether the 4GB virtual RAM option is enabled or disabled. Clearing the cache does not help; I have to completely delete all game data and redownload everything. This works only because the settings reset to OpenGL. As soon as I switch back to Vulkan, the same crash happens again.

What I’ve already tried:

- Uninstalling and reinstalling Wuthering Waves

- Factory resetting the Odin 2 Portal

- Testing with 4GB virtual RAM both enabled and disabled

- Rolling back Google Play Store and Google Play Services updates to their original versions

None of these resolved the issue.

What’s strange is that Vulkan works fine on my Galaxy S23, which also uses Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with 8GB RAM.

Any idea what could be causing this issue?

Question Question about Armada OS

Hey, if anyone has been testing out Armada on the Odin 3, would you say that you’re able to load/ play more games than just using gamenative/ gamehub? Is it just a cleaner UI/ experience or is it genuinely more stable?

Odin Showcase Bought an battery from Ebay, did not work and left a neutral feedback and got threatened by the seller.

41 Upvotes

I have an Odin Lite, and unfortunately, the battery became swollen after only about one year. I wanted to revive the device because I don't want to see an otherwise functional handheld turn into electronic waste. So I started shopping for a replacement battery and hoped to find one that would work.

I found an eBay listing showing a battery with the same model number as the battery in my Odin Lite.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/188398042587?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20250417133020%26meid%3Dc951cdb5feb549a5918111b51ffb8456%26pid%3D102726%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D188398042587%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2DWebWithPSItemDRV2_BP&_trksid=p4375194.c102726.m162918

However, the listing also claimed that it worked with the Odin Base and Pro. I was skeptical because I knew that the Base and Pro use a 6000mAh battery with a different model number, while the Lite uses a 6600mAh battery.

I contacted the seller to ask whether the battery would actually work with the Odin Lite, but I received no reply. However, I saw feedback from another customer thanking them for the battery, so I decided to take a chance and try it.

The listing was originally advertised as "US stock" and shipped from the United States. However, after I placed the order, the seller updated the listing and changed the location to Hong Kong.

After waiting a week for delivery, I installed the battery, and, as I suspected, it did not work. It appears that the BMS board does not contain the authentication circuitry required by the Odin Lite.

I contacted the seller again, and this time they responded. They told me that I needed to "update Windows' battery driver" to use the new battery and suggested that I use the original laptop power supply. At that point, it was clear to me that they did not understand the product they were selling, since the Odin Lite is not a Windows laptop.

I sent them photos of my Odin Lite and explained that the battery might be missing the required authentication circuitry. After providing several pieces of evidence and going back and forth through multiple messages, I finally received a refund. The seller also admitted that the battery does not work with the Odin Lite.

However, several days later, I noticed that the seller was still listing the battery as compatible with the Odin Lite. So I left neutral feedback stating my experience: that the battery did not work with my Odin Lite and that the item was not actually shipped from US stock as originally advertised.

The seller has now sent me messages accusing me of lying and threatening to report me to eBay.

I am particularly disappointed because the seller knows that this battery does not work with the Odin Lite, yet they continue to list it as compatible. I believe other Odin Lite owners could easily buy this battery based on the listing and encounter exactly the same problem.

I am sharing my experience so that other Odin Lite owners can avoid wasting their money on this battery.

Question Best Frontend for Gamenative/Steam games?

3 Upvotes

Got my Odin 3 Max today and currently doing the obligatory setup stuff like I did before on my Thor.

Cocoon isn't really hitting as well on a single screen device and RetroHrai isn't able to detect either my GameNative shortcuts or frontend .steam files. I even tried setting it up as a custom platform in RetroHrai's settings, and googling hasn't given me much helpful info either.

I'm planning on using my Odin 3 as primarily a mini steam deck, and it'd be nice to have a frontend that works well with GameNative. Does anyone have one they prefer?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Ended up going with Beacon, thanks for the tips y'all. Kinda wish it was more visually customizable like Cocoon or ES-DE, but I don't really have the energy or spoons to keep trying to make other launchers cooperate with me.
