Russ, I very rarely, if ever, comment on RUclips. But just wanted to thank you for all the effort and time you put into this. Super well organized, and well-paced - and it was very easy to follow along. Appreciate you, man!
@MrArandomperson12345 That's a bad situation, so I had a few thoughts what can be done about it. 1. Get yourself an Odin 2. If this is not possible: 2. Use the setup guides in this video for every other highend android smartphone you possibly own. If there is no use in this also then: 3. Just leave this guide for those it was made for and try to find a video for a device you actually own. There are options!
Russ, I'll admit, your videos are the only reason i got into retro emulation handhelds. The set up always seems super intimidating, but your walk through guides have made it ALWAYS super easy for me to understand and follow. Keep doing what you do man! You're very much appreciated
This video is so incredibly appreciated!!! I’ve wanted to get in to emulation for years and I finally dove in since finding your channel. ROMS and BIOS files can still be tricky lol but this makes the setup process an absolute breeze…thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for making such an intuitive video! Slowing it down was perfect for me to follow along with you; the only part I was confused about was the Wii setup. I was not as familiar with a wii because I only had one for a few years with a kid and getting the controllers setup is a pain.
Just got mine and im really looking forward to using this to help me optimize my setup process. You're the king and I appreciate all the effort you put into creating this for the community.
I really have no expendable income right now and don't plan on buying one but still watched the whole thing while wrapping Xmas gifts. No idea why, I just find all of this really calming to watch.
Thanks this helped me setup the emulators on my Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Gamesir G8+ controller!! Thanks for all your efforts to help the retro gaming community!!
Thanks for this, the Android and Retroarch settings were especially helpful. Disabling the Lock Screen and lengthening the the screen turnoff interval made this feel so much more like a handheld game system
Thank you, Russ! I have been on this scene since the LDK Landscape and RG350, but they way things evolve, it is very helpful to know the best/latest settings from someone whom has set up so many of these devices!
Russ, you are the best retro handheld channel on the internet. I couldn’t have setup my Miyoo with custom firmware without you. I’m really grateful for what you do. That being said, concerning this new Odin handheld, this is way too much setup involved for a device that costs $370. I’m going to pass on the Odin 2 and wait for a Linux based handheld that can handle PS2 and GameCube emulation. It’s hard enough for me to find time to squeeze an hour of game play into my day, never mind all the setup required for an Android device like the Odin 2. No more development support for some key emulators is also a big negative. It’s a powerful device in the hands of the BEST teacher, but for an average guy like me its just not a seamless out of the box experience I would expect for the price. I think I’m going to pick up an RG35XX H in the meantime while I wait for that perfect PS2 / GameCube handheld to be created and sold. Please do a tutorial on the Anbernic RG35XX H when Garlic is released for it. That would be awesome! Thanks again Russ for all that you do for the community. You are truly a cornerstone. You’re the Man! 😎👍
Fantastic video. Thank you for doing this Russ! I also like to add Developer mode and change window animation, transition animation, animator duration all to 0.5x to make everything snappier
As always, your guides are the best, hands down. My Odin2 (base) should be here in the next few days, and I can't wait! Luckily I still have the SD card I used when I had an original Odin, so my libraries are already pretty large, and have most of the BIOS files.
Got mine set up thanks to this video. The only problem is that both Dreamcast and Sega Saturn won’t work from Daijisho. Apparently it’s a problem with the new Android OS and some of the play store emulators.
Man I have been so stoked for my Odin 2 Pro and prepped a full library of ROMs but you weren't joking. Transferring/unzipping the ROMs took me like 14 hours.... I can finally play with my Odin 2 a day later after I finally received it 😂
Hell yeah. Mine sadly isn't coming till next month now even though when I bought it the site said December, but glad this guide will be here to get me started once it does.
Thank you so much, Russ! Your expertise is truly admirable. I do wish, however, that you had covered the configuration of buttons for the Wii controller. It would have been immensely helpful to witness your detailed setup for each button, as I found the diagram a tad perplexing.
Bravo. Bravo. Bravo. This is THE BEST Guide ever. and i found my favorite game Policenauts for sega saturn. Thank you so much sir. you're THE MAN. THE MAN. The best :D
First time doing this set up for emulation. Pretty tech savvy but this is tougher than I anticipated. Few random roms that keep not wanting to unzip I'm still hunting down. The 13 switch rpg games I'm trying to get the copies of the ones own has been exceptionally difficult as well. Hopefully all the bios I got work correctly.
A small note on the button assignment of a Wii Mote only play in the Dolphin app. In the Super Paper Mario example, the Wii Mote is held sideways to play. The D pad keys must also be assigned to sideways.
This is awesome Russ! One question I have is how do you make redream and Citra work within daijisho? I get an error on my Odin 2 when launching games from those systems within that frontend
Hello, I'm a fan of your emulation channel. I recently bought Odin 2 Max. Do you know where I can buy replacement analog sticks for the Odin 2 thumbstick?
Great guide Russ! I've had issues with Daijisho as well but I now use retroarch cores and the Citra MMJ Antutu Storage access version and that one launches via Daijisho but it doesnt remember my default layout options
I have all emulators loaded and configured. I want to use Daijisho but I’m having some problems. For example, when I click on PS2, it’s supposed to load AetherSX2. Instead of going directly to the ROM, it just takes me to the list of games instead, or will not load Aether at all. All of the emulators work fine by themselves so that tells me the problem is either with Daijisho. I’ve already checked the player selected to make sure those are all correct. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I see several other people of posted the same problem on Reddit, but no solution.
How in the world did you get Daijisho to run Mupen? Can't get it to see my library for the life of me. I can't even get it to see my library. Mupen works great on it's own though. Thanks for the video it was really helpful.
Just got mine. It can be a little challenge setting up if you've never done it before but it's doable. After a few days of tinkering it is pretty awesome.
Great tutorial! How is Retroarch doing for PSP, 3DS, PSX, N64 & Dreamcast on this device? It's nice to be able to do Retroachievements, shaders and keep consistent hotkeys.
I really wish someone could give us at least SOME help on the BIOS front. Not giving us a direct link or something I understand, but telling us what we should "search" for would be a lot better than "figure it our on your own". Not trying to be rude, just yeah, I'm stumped. Maybe I'm just stupid, I don't know.
Tremendous instructional video. I've referred to it maybe 10 times in the last 3 days and I'm up and running on my Ayn Odin 2. I have a question, I downloaded Super Mario Galaxy for Wii, using Dolphin emulator. There are a lot of cut scenes i had to wait but very frustrating. Is there a way to forward these? e.g. using a fast forward button? Thanks
I was on the fence between the ally or the Odin 2, with the Best Buy sale I picked up the ally but my android loving self is kind of regretting that now
Hey man! Thank you so so much for this. The Odin 2 was is my first android emulator and I wouldn’t have known where to start without this! On another note, I’m having an issue with the dolphin Wii remote. Specifically the IR sensor inputs only working if my device is laying down flat. If I hold the device vertically it will not register the IR input. I’ve tried about every degree setting in there with no luck… any idea?

Bud I wanted to tell you I sold my odin 2 but still used the guide to setup my Samsung s24 ultra with backbone controller and followed this guide again. It's hands-down the best guide on RUclips. 2nd time around I was flying through it almost as fast as you. Thanks again man I really appreciate it.
Hey Russ! With the upcoming Odin 2 mini and the fact that some emulators (yuzu->sudachi) and things have changed will you be making an updated guide for the odin2/odin2 mini? Or do you think this is all still relevant? Your stuff is where I go first when setting up any new device, and I'll be getting the odin 2 mini in a few weeks (hopefully) so I just wanted to be sure I'd be using the most relevant/recent info.
Mine arrived today. My wife is visiting her parents tonight. My kids said they want an early night. This is the stars aligning. Edit: everything set up in accordance with the video. This thing is just so damn awesome. Being in Australia couldn't get a steam deck, but for my usage requirements this is far better and the battery life is outstanding. Thanks for the video Russ.
I just picked up an Odin 2 about 4 days ago and have been watching your videos related to it. This guide saved me a lot of time and effort, and I can't imagine how many times I went back to this for anything else. I rarely comment on RUclips hence subscribe to someone's channel, but I believe you really deserve it. Thanks Russ for this awesome and well put guide! P.S Regards to
@@RetroGameCorps Pretty good guide! Something I like to do, is to arrange the platforms from the Highest Fidelity Graphics to the Lowest Fidelity Graphics. So that when you go into your front-end you have all the latest games first, and usually you would have less of these due to performance issues, and storage constraints. As for the games, I try to limit them to the Top 50 Games from each platform. In case you're curious, here's how my preservation folder is arranged: BIOS Folder, 0A Atari Systems, 0B Nintendo Systems, 0C Coleco Systems, 1A Phillips Oddysee2, 1B Atari VCS 2600, 1C ColecoVision, 2A Atari Plus 7800, 2B Sega Master System, 2C Nintendo Entertainment System, 2D Nintendo Game Boy, 2E SNK NeoGeo Pocket Color, 2F Bandai WonderSwan Crystal, 2G Sega Game Gear, 2H Atari Lynx, 3A NEC Turbografx 16, 3B PC-Engine TurboExpress, 3C Sega Nomad, 3D Sega Mega Drive, 3E Super Nintendo, 3F Nintendo Gameboy Advance, 3G Nokia Ngage, 4A Sega 32X-CD, 4B Phillips CDi, 4C Panasonic 3DO, 4D Atari Jaguar, 4E Microsoft DOS, 5A Sega Saturn, 5B Sony PS1, 5C Nintendo 64, 5D Nintendo DS, 5E Sega Dreamcast, 5F Windows 98 Games, 6A Sony PSP, 6B Sony PS2, 6C Nintendo 3DS, 6D, Nintendo GameCube, 6E Nintendo Wii, 6F MS Xbox, 6G Windows XP Games, 7A Sony PS Vita, 7B MS Xbox 360, 7C Sony PS3, 7D Nintendo WiiU, 7E Android Games, 8A Nintendo Switch, 8B MS Xbox One, 8C Sony PS4, 8D Valve SteamDeck, 8E Windows 7 Games, 9A MS Xbox Series S, 9B Sony PS5, 9C MS Xbox Series X, 9D Windows 10 Games. Some of the folders are empty, but I like to keep the folders just as a reminder as to where those platforms sit. This might seem overkill or OCD, but I believe if you put in the effort upfront, and try to keep things ordered, simple, and minimalistic.... it goes a long way later when you're actually trying to play. Also it makes it easier to repeat the steps if/when you make an upgrade, or you want to make a new device as a gift. Just set things up neatly, and gift away. Happy Gaming!
Russ, I very rarely, if ever, comment on RUclips. But just wanted to thank you for all the effort and time you put into this. Super well organized, and well-paced - and it was very easy to follow along.
Appreciate you, man!
1 hour video for a device I don’t own. Very excited.
Maybe one day you will
Same!
I bet you were being sarcastic…but this is true for me! I’m considering the device, so the more information the better 😎
@MrArandomperson12345
That's a bad situation, so I had a few thoughts what can be done about it.
1. Get yourself an Odin 2. If this is not possible:
2. Use the setup guides in this video for every other highend android smartphone you possibly own. If there is no use in this also then:
3. Just leave this guide for those it was made for and try to find a video for a device you actually own.
There are options!
@@bitofclayNah, I’m genuine. I watch every one of Russ’s videos regardless of my interest in getting the device cuz they’re fun to watch, :D
I have got to applaud the quality of Russ’ videos and the amount of useful info that I have picked up over the years of watching his content
Russ, I'll admit, your videos are the only reason i got into retro emulation handhelds. The set up always seems super intimidating, but your walk through guides have made it ALWAYS super easy for me to understand and follow. Keep doing what you do man! You're very much appreciated
An epic effort. Bravo, Russ, and thank you.
Unparalleled detail, Russ has earned every one of his subscribers. Not a lazy opinion-driven RUclipsr. Pure talent, knowledge, and dedication.
Thank you for helping me complete setup my first emulation device.
This video is so incredibly appreciated!!! I’ve wanted to get in to emulation for years and I finally dove in since finding your channel. ROMS and BIOS files can still be tricky lol but this makes the setup process an absolute breeze…thank you!!!!
Just started watching as I ordered my Odin 2 Pro about 45 mins ago. But the quality of your videos is absolutely top tier!
I wanted to say thank you. This is my first retro console ever. It seemed like a daughting task starting out, but your guide helped immensely.
Thank you so much for making such an intuitive video! Slowing it down was perfect for me to follow along with you; the only part I was confused about was the Wii setup. I was not as familiar with a wii because I only had one for a few years with a kid and getting the controllers setup is a pain.

Just got mine and im really looking forward to using this to help me optimize my setup process. You're the king and I appreciate all the effort you put into creating this for the community.
Getting my odin 2 soon and will definitely be rewatching this video as soon as it comes
I just got my 512GB max model today and used this guide. Worked perfectly. Thank you very much for putting this together
Russ, as a dad of two small kids with little time on my hands for gaming, I can't stress enough how helpful this is. Keep it up, bro.
I really have no expendable income right now and don't plan on buying one but still watched the whole thing while wrapping Xmas gifts. No idea why, I just find all of this really calming to watch.
Thanks this helped me setup the emulators on my Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Gamesir G8+ controller!! Thanks for all your efforts to help the retro gaming community!!
This is a very nice video! Just completed the setup on my Odin 2. Appreciate it!
Should be getting mine on Tuesday this week. So excited so I started watching this in preparation.
Two days ago I ordered myself AYN Odin 2 and very happy that you released that video!!
Device arrived today in the mail, as soon as I could set some time I knew I had to look for this video, thanks Russ!
Wow, awesome guide. Thank you very much. Can't wait for my Odin 2 to get here so I can watch the whole thing again!
Thanks for this, the Android and Retroarch settings were especially helpful. Disabling the Lock Screen and lengthening the the screen turnoff interval made this feel so much more like a handheld game system
Thank you!!!!! This helps make sure I didn't miss anything. I'll watch this like 6 times and set up my device over the next few days
Thank you, Russ! I have been on this scene since the LDK Landscape and RG350, but they way things evolve, it is very helpful to know the best/latest settings from someone whom has set up so many of these devices!

Wish I could double like this. I would have been lost without this. Thank you!
I was happy to see WuldfDen gave you a shoutout to you in his video about setting up the Odin 2.
Fantastic video. Thank you for doing this Russ!

Russ' videos never disappoint. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
And right on cue, another awesome guide. Was happy to see you get called out again on Wolf Den's channel.
Thank you soooooo much for this and your written guide!! You are the BEST

I'm surprised there isn't a Funko POP of you already based on the work you do for the retro community.
That would be cool, I love Funko POPs! Well, a few of them at least (mostly Star Wars and I also weirdly have all the Morbius POPs).
What an incredible video! A labor of love for sure. Thanks Russ!
Thank you so much, Russ! Your expertise is truly admirable. I do wish, however, that you had covered the configuration of buttons for the Wii controller. It would have been immensely helpful to witness your detailed setup for each button, as I found the diagram a tad perplexing.
Literally been waiting to setup mine for this 😅
So happy got my Odin 2 with dhl with in 4 days
I was hoping that you would do one of these… you are the best

Odin 2 are pre ordered now on site. Hopefully before Christmas may one come
Props for recommending Parsec though.
No one talks about this enough.
I use this on every single device I own.
Russ, THANK YOU this guide has got my Odin 2 looking so sexy.😁👊🏾
Rewatching this the moment I saw the odin 2 pro available on amazon
I'm about receive this beauty, good timing
Watching this video while I wait for my Odin 2 max to be delivered. Will probably watch again when it gets here 😂
A small note on the button assignment of a Wii Mote only play in the Dolphin app. In the Super Paper Mario example, the Wii Mote is held sideways to play. The D pad keys must also be assigned to sideways.
Super Tutorial
Thanks from France !
Best guide out there. Saved me so much time. Blown away by the console itself. Might trump my Legion Go and Steam Deck.
Can't wait to get home and redo my setup from scratch lol🎉🎉
Man people on Reddit see you as a tech God.
Nice to be early. I've been waiting for this.
Finally thanks for making one.
Yes! Thank you for the Odin 2 master class. I’ve been waiting patiently.
This is awesome Russ! One question I have is how do you make redream and Citra work within daijisho? I get an error on my Odin 2 when launching games from those systems within that frontend
Great video .
Where can I find your written guide please?
Took me the evening to go thru even I know a lot. I miss those chicken break.
wow my guy thank you so much
You have the patience of a saint..........
Hello, I'm a fan of your emulation channel. I recently bought Odin 2 Max. Do you know where I can buy replacement analog sticks for the Odin 2 thumbstick?
Great guide Russ! I've had issues with Daijisho as well but I now use retroarch cores and the Citra MMJ Antutu Storage access version and that one launches via Daijisho but it doesnt remember my default layout options

Watching this on a Steam Deck.
you can change system order in daijishiu by changing the short name eg for all systems you want together put same letters
You deserve an "Olympic gold medal" for this one Russ, respect, and salute!
How in the world did you get Daijisho to run Mupen? Can't get it to see my library for the life of me. I can't even get it to see my library. Mupen works great on it's own though. Thanks for the video it was really helpful.
Well done Russ. Better late than never. :-)
Thanks for this public service 😅
My Odin is now a powerhouse of retro gaming
This guy a king
Will I ever own an AYN Odin? No. Do I want to watch Russ talk about it? Yeah man...
Just got mine. It can be a little challenge setting up if you've never done it before but it's doable. After a few days of tinkering it is pretty awesome.
Where can I get yuzu? It is not on the play store.
Download it from a public archive, the big N took it down
Great tutorial! How is Retroarch doing for PSP, 3DS, PSX, N64 & Dreamcast on this device? It's nice to be able to do Retroachievements, shaders and keep consistent hotkeys.

Is it possible to put Windows on this device like Odin 1?
Is it just me or did the Odin 1 look nicer aesthetically?
I'm still going to order a 2 when I can afford it though :D
Just you 😅 Odin 2 feels and looks amazing, you will love it

No Xbox emulator support is the only thing stopping this from being perfection!
I was on the fence between the ally or the Odin 2, with the Best Buy sale I picked up the ally but my android loving self is kind of regretting that now
Let us know if they somehow manage to fix the input lag. I'll gladly scoop one up at that point.
On the sideloading apps. Are you downloading them on the handheld or on the PC?
Why did you not map the shoulder buttons on classic controller for wii? Are they not necessary or not used?
Hey man! Thank you so so much for this. The Odin 2 was is my first android emulator and I wouldn’t have known where to start without this!

i agree
It’s true. He really is the best there is.
How do I turn off the rumble when I play Mario kart double dash
Amen to that

Some of the folders are empty, but I like to keep the folders just as a reminder as to where those platforms sit. This might seem overkill or OCD, but I believe if you put in the effort upfront, and try to keep things ordered, simple, and minimalistic.... it goes a long way later when you're actually trying to play.
Also it makes it easier to repeat the steps if/when you make an upgrade, or you want to make a new device as a gift. Just set things up neatly, and gift away. Happy Gaming!
