put in a pre-order for an Odin Lite a couple weeks ago and didn't even think to check to see if there was an SA thread dedicated to this stuff, going to be upgrading from my 351P which is still FANTASTIC and will probably just live in my pocket for on the go gaming.

zzMisc posted:More powerful than the RK3326, no, hopefully we'll have more of that later this year. But if you mean an x86 handheld, yes you are. Valve is in the best position to take the best advantage of a lovely supply situation right now and they still couldn't produce a decent x86 handheld smaller than a medium-sized marine mammal. Isn't the RK3588 supposed to be the next up? https://youtu.be/d02fiFl3o1A

That is a really disappointing thing to learn..I assume it's the same screen on the Lite? I might just cancel and get a used 552 or something

MarcusSA posted:Yeah but only in RetroArch which is fine for the lower stuff but the more powerful stuff that the device can run it can’t be fixed in. Didn't the reddit post say it's only really a problem in GBA or lower? I guess I was confused at that bit in his post because it should just affect everything the entire time unless there is some sort of framesync

Can't see where this fits, sure it has a better screen but it still can't play games at full speed and utilize that screen at the same time.

zzMisc posted:Caveat: This was with stock, and both N64 and NDS function "worse than on a 351 with custom firmware." N64 in particular was tested with retroarch cores rather than standalones because the standalones aren't set up right. according to the Retro discord though they sent out devices sure but they didn't release their firmware source which means no one is really working on it/or won't be out for a long time.

Wee Bairns posted:After initially wanting a Retroid, but being dismayed at the (at the time) shipping delays, I picked up a 351p on a whim and I loving love the little thing. AmberElec is pretty snappy with the beta builds being surprisingly stable, with some decent performance bumps over the stable release. (Especially psp). Just for clarity they don't really call them beta builds instead it's pre-release, I think they moved to just incremental builds and will only do major roll up revisions every so often

Hows the boot up time for a hacked psp/ds/vita? Miyoo Mini is pretty fast, you can also set it to open a game automatically

MarcusSA posted:Well they just added the ability to use other firmwares with the Odin handhelds. It's going to be a stretch on the Lite mostly because the SoC isn't nearly as popular as the snapdragon though so developers would have to do entirely new forks for the d900

njsykora posted:Seeing that thing do Gamecube, Wii (even Mario Galaxy that the loving Steam Deck apparently has trouble with) and the hard PSP games without even breaking a sweat is properly impressive, even with the caveat that he's bypassed the CPU govener to make it run at max speed. The fan's still apparently in quiet mode and those games that did have slight dips you could probably just drop the resolution a bit and get rid of those. yeah i'd say PS2 probably at 75% which is what the odin pro looked like it was at

It's more that anbernic has missed the cost to performance ratio pretty big the last couple of devices when most people already have a 351p or equivalent

the ease of use of any of Anbernics devices isn't because of Anbernic's efforts but the community developing custom firmware and front end launchers though, Odin will be there sooner rather than later then all of the points you've listed have become moot.

I wonder how they plan to source these chips and keep the cost low, they certainly aren't hitting massive manufacturing numbers especially if you're doing two SKUs
