    You convinced me to get the Odin Pro back in the day, and now you've convinced me to get the Odin 2 Portal!

      Can I ask if you have considered the Ayaneo pocket Evo, I have seen a couple of comparison vids and wondered if you have an opinion on the Evo and how they stack up?

    • @-roetaka
      @-roetaka  6 дней назад +1

      @@Paekabou I refunded my backing of the Evo when they delayed it and AYN announced the Portal. I'll try to summize my thoughts between the two quick:
      - They're both very powerful devices, but the Portal's 8Gen2 has more driver support and so is a bit more flexible for certain emulators and apps in terms of performance and compatability. The Evo's battery is a touch bigger but I don't know about the efficiency.
      - I think the Portal was a lot cheaper at the time with its early bird pricing. At retail it's still a bit cheaper.
      - Size wise, the Portal is a bit slimmer and 50g lighter, that can make a big difference for longer gaming sessions.
      - Ergonomically, after receiving the Portal I can say I prefer it a lot more. I have an AYANEO GEEK1S and it's literally the same form factor as the EVO, so I know that out the gate it's quite comfy to hold as it has chunkyish grips and it has full size joysticks, but I'm not a big fan of its kinda flat feeling dpad and the face buttons are sorta small and close together. You can buy a grip for the Portal which will put it on par comfort wise (I kinda like that I can have it slim or with grip for preference) and you can buy joystick tops to replace the original that make them feel more like full size sticks, the dpad and buttons imo are bigger and better too.
      I've seen some comparisons where people have preferred the EVO, imo the Portal comes out on top but yeah if you're still on the fence keep looking out for videos to compare the two.

    • @Paekabou
      @Paekabou 6 дней назад

      ​@-roetaka thank you for that! I wanted an Odin 2 for so long just wishing it had OLED, so when I heard about the Portal I was sold. I was hoping the Evo wouldn't make me have to make any difficult decisions. Sounds like the Portal is as awesome as I'd like it to be. So Im still on team Portal! ... now, just have to sell my kidney and I'm set! 😅

But it's such a jam, and Lost Planet 2 is one of my favourite co-op games of all time. Never played 3 lol. I wish Capcom did something with this series again.

    • @-roetaka
      @-roetaka  8 дней назад

      With an Android system I am usually grabbing everything from my last Android device and putting it onto the next. There's a lot I put on these so it does take some time to just reconfigure and add things, like making controller profiles in emulators because of additional buttons and the like in RetroArch etc, or adding all my Switch saves etc. If I wasn't making videos I'd probably take longer to do it but it does take alot of my day to setup and test. If this was full time and I was getting handhelds all the time and having to set it up I think I'd have mad fatigue by now and need a faster way to set things up haha, but for now I do enjoy the feeling of building that "ultimate" handheld.

    According to reviews and benchmark tests, the AYN Odin 2 typically scores around 3,672 to 3,900 on the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme benchmark, showcasing its strong graphical performance and ability to handle demanding games smoothly. According to available benchmarks, a Steam Deck OLED typically scores around 2900 - 3000 on a 3DMark Wild Life Extreme test. I know benchmarks aren't everything, but the Steam Deck isn't the automatic answer in life and is frankly an underperformer compared to many of the modern options available now.

    The plastic of the Odin 2 definitely gets a nut smooth and shiny around the D-PAD and face buttons.
    I really wish AYN would offer replacement shells. They offer replacement parts for near everything about it from sticks to buttons to PCB parts...but no shell.
    Though you'll see people on Teddit claim that AYN is planning to offer shells in the future but...with Odin 2 Mini and now Portal....I'm not sure its happening.

    • @-roetaka
      @-roetaka  4 дня назад +1

      Both Dolphin and 3DS (Citra or Lime emulator) have a folder called Load which has a folder called Textures, you paste the folder that has the game's seriel number (and all the textures inside) into that Textures folder like I showed in the video at 15:07 . And I have a more traditional method here if that's not easy to understand for some reason: ruclips.net/video/21_PF8VDJgs/видео.html

    Hey RoeTaKa! I am waiting for my Portal to ship in and want to use Pegasus over ES-DE. I see the desktop version can "auto-import" games and metadata from EmulationStation... Not sure if this translates to the Android build of Pegasus and ES-DE. Have you tinkered around with this and got it to work? Or, do you manually build all your metadata files whenever you add games? Thanks!

    • @-roetaka
      @-roetaka  7 дней назад

      Hi! I remember when I started using it the build of Pegasus that auto did everything wasn't very good, but it probably got better so it might be worth a try. I manually did everything so I got all the metadata and scraped all the art with an app called Skraper. It was a fair bit of work and I did a bunch of custom things like music, sfx and art/videos for categories. I get asked about a guide now and then but it would be a lot of work and there doesn't seem to be much interest in Pegasus these days, there are lots of very good looking and functional frontends available these days but I'm weird and like to be unique lol.

      People have complained about the one AYN sells not sticking down on the edges properly and it only covers the screen portion, so if you were to crack the glass on either side it could extend into the screen anyway so idk about that. There is at least one other company making a full front protector that I saw on discord but I couldn't tell you if it was good quality or not. It would be difficult to get a full glass tempered style protector because of the way the Portal's sides curve.

    Well i must be the only person in the world, that doesn't like the look of the Portal, its those grills, for speakers, and button combination, because they stand out so far, that is all i can see, they are hideous.
    Once you start looking at them, you can't look at anything else.
    Odin 2 Pro for me is perfection, use Odin tools to increase saturation of the screen, improves it no end.
    Same with RP5, same problem hideous, only thing that saves that machine is the lovely purple version. - but for me RP3+ is clean, and looks gorgeous.
    But this is just my opinion.
    But then, i also thought the Steamdeck was a ugly looking machine, until i saw one, in my local secondhand store.
    It has grown on me.

      I thought it wasn't that great to look at either, but it has grown on me.
