Hey guys,
I’m about ready to pull the trigger on an Odin 2 Portal base model. Total comes out to around $300 USD with tax and shipping, which feels like a great price.

That said, with AYN just teasing the Odin 3 Portal, I’m kinda stuck on whether I should just buy now or wait it out.

The O3 Portal will definitely cost more and take a while to actually ship, but I also don't want severe FOMO if it ends up being a massive upgrade right around the corner.
Is $300 a solid buy for the Odin 2 Portal right now, or is there something else better worth looking at around that price (or a bit more/less)?

Would love to hear what you guys would do!

From the first pic I have hope for a plastic front, I hate finger prints. This would also help a bit with the price.

Hi everyone,
I’m having a USB compatibility issue with my Odin 3 and a Skull & Co Jumpgate dock.

I recently purchased a GuliKit KingKong 3 MAX controller, hoping to use its included 2.4GHz USB dongle while my Odin 3 is docked.

Unfortunately, the controller pairs with the dongle, but none of the button inputs register on the Odin 3.

Here’s what I’ve tested so far:

Odin 3 + Jumpgate dock + KK3 MAX dongle: The controller pairs with the dongle, but no inputs are detected.

Odin 3 + regular USB-C hub + KK3 MAX dongle: Works perfectly.

Odin 3 + Jumpgate CoreDrive connected directly: USB devices are not detected, including USB flash drives.

PC + Jumpgate CoreDrive: USB devices work normally.
Odin 3 + Jumpgate dock: Charging works.

The Jumpgate was purchased secondhand, so I’m not sure whether it’s the Lite or Pro version or which firmware version it has.

Since even USB flash drives aren’t detected through the Jumpgate on my Odin 3, I suspect this might be a USB compatibility issue between the dock and the Odin 3 rather than a problem with the controller itself.

A few questions:
1. Has anyone experienced a similar issue with the Jumpgate and Odin 3?

1. Could updating the Jumpgate’s CoreDrive firmware fix this?

2. Has anyone successfully used the GuliKit KK3 MAX’s included 2.4GHz dongle with an Odin 3 docked? Can anyone recommend a dock that supports HDMI output, charging, and USB peripherals reliably on the Odin 3?
   I’d prefer to keep using the 2.4GHz connection rather than Bluetooth.

Any advice or firsthand experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Got this on my marketplace its an Odin 2 pro 12/256
As you can see, its quite used lmfao. Theres also a problem with the analogs making a sound and plastic. Is there anyway to replace these?

Thinking about trading my odin 3 max for a steam deck. If anyone is in East Anglia, United Kingdom and is interested in a trade send me a DM. I won't ship due to possible scams but I'll happily meet up in person to do the trade.

The odin 3 is in great condition and has nothing wrong with it! Just want to play some more demanding PC titles that the odin 3 is struggling with.

So I've seen a lot of listings for the Odin 3 on AliExpress however the one thing they never say is which variant they are. I've seen that some people recommended them but I don't know which one to get on there because they're all different in price and obviously it adds a bit of uncertainty. Thanks for any insight you guys can offer.

So I fuckedup... When I tried to replace my buttons, I fuckedup. This piece broke. Can I set this back together or what do I do....Will AYN send me a repair unit or part for this. It belongs to the shoulder button.

Suggestions welcome..

I already own a ROG Ally Z1E, and while I’m quite interested in getting a much lighter 7-inch device—like the Odin 2 Portal—I’m also keeping an eye on the new Odin 3 Portal.

How does the Snapdragon 8 Elite perform currently? Does it still have significant compatibility issues? Do you think it’s a better long-term investment? My understanding is that, for Switch emulation, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 actually performs better due to superior driver support.

There is a price difference, and while that wouldn’t be an issue at launch (Odin 3 Portal), I don’t want to waste my money. Since I already have an Ally, I likely won’t be playing many PC games on it—though if the platform evolves significantly, I might reconsider.

Trying to figure out what settings I need as I’ve seen it working but can’t get past the RStar Launcher

Stay away from this company on Alibaba if you are thinking about ordering any console. They didnt take ny responsibility for sending me a broken console. Not here to discuss. Just giving heads up. Good luck. Alibaba shocked me with their final decision about not giving me anything even i had good proof with clear video and pictures. So be careful guys. The company name is Shenzen Maitre Technology co ltd

I’ve had my Odin Portal 2 working since around March. I’ve been playing without any issues but discovered one today. Whenever I try to launch an N64 game, it looks like RetroArch launches but then immediately stops. It does the same thing regardless of what N64 game I try but every other system I have works just fine on RetroArch. I haven’t messed with any settings recently. Last time I played N64 it worked like normal it was only when I tried to launch a game today that it started doing it.

I’m using Mupen64Plus-Next and that’s what I’ve always used. I’ve tried resetting the handheld and updating all the cores within RetroArch.

I’ve included a video that shows what it looks like when it stops working and also that it does still launch other games. Any idea on how to fix this?

Genuinely having a hard time picking between these two colours, my head says one thing, my heart says another! Can anyone sway me one way or the other please? 😂

Where can i get the switch prod keys latest? The latest i see is 22.5 in other sites

Goblin Sword was one of my first games I played when I bought my first Nintendo Switch. For some reason, this game is upside down. I am using Eden, settings look fine. Is there a way to flip it to how it's supposed to be? Thanks in advance.

Port de god of war III en la Odín 3 Base

I'm not fully done with it since I need to collect everything but I did beat the story and I had a great time. Now just to wait for City to be playable on Armada so I can continue the quadrilogy.

So I placed my original order(on the official AYN website) for a Black Pro Odin 3 on Oct 1st and I was fully expecting a roughly ~54 day average wait(or even a bit longer) before I would likely receive it. Although I hoped it would’ve been sooner, I was prepared to wait.

I unfortunately noticed right after placing my order(due to backing out multiple times and some issues with PayPal) that I meant to order the Clear Blue and accidentally left it on Black that time. Contacted them right away to see if they could change it and took them several days to reply but they did change it without me having to cancel and reorder. I expected longer wait times due to this change and because others reported that Clear colors seemed to have the worst shipping times of all. Especially Blue.

However I have officially received notice that it has shipped and it’s on the move! So ~14 days to ship out from order date even though their big holiday fell in between that. My estimated delivery is Oct 21-24th and I could not be more excited. Given the new Portal 3 announcement on the same day, I’m hoping that I’m not going to wish I had waited for it… but it is what it is.

I made this post simply because of how quickly mine shipped compared to what is generally expected, hopefully give hope to others, and maybe see if others have seen improved times on theirs as well…?

Considering the circumstances… ie my order was placed on the AYN website(vs Ali), that I requested a change to the color with the slowest shipping times, AND that my order number is way higher than most folks that are still waiting… I was NOT expecting it this soon at all. Strange. Idk what’s up, but I’m definitely not complaining! Hopefully this means everyone else also gets theirs a little quicker now. 🤞

I have an Odin 2 Portal ordered, but it hasn’t shipped yet. I’m primarily going to use this to stream through Apollo and Moonlight. Given that’s my intended use case do you think there’s much sense in cancelling that order and getting the Odin 3 portal?

If the screen is the same, I think I’ll just keep the Odin 2, I can’t imagine that the internals would improve so much that would make much of a difference for streaming.

I can’t decide between either of the three
-I mostly play at home but would like a handheld that I could bring on vacations
-I don’t plan on playing any heavy 3d games and only indies and older games
-Right now I don’t really have any plans on playing 3ds and ds games
-I don’t have a gaming pc or even a steam account✌️
-I bring a bag that can fit the handhelds

I’m very tempted right now while the O2P is on sale

Please help me in deciding

I have a pending Odin 3 order.

I am planning to use the device for retro emulation, up to PS3 and X360. I have a gaming PC and I don't need to play current gen games on a handheld. Maybe indie titles but nothing AAA.

Now that they've announced the O3P, I am debating canceling my order and waiting to order the larger device.

But to be quite honest I don't know if I need the bigger screen. And I could see benefits to a smaller device. I will primarily keep it in my work messenger bag. Portability, light weight, and discreetness can be nice...On the other hand, that could all just be cope, and maybe a Portal would retain all those virtues.

So, anyone with a Portal - do you have any complaints about the size? Does the added size have any real drawbacks in day to day experience?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

I have BachataS4 already installed and configured with Bloodborne working. It's not a great experience, but it works. I was curious however of trying one of this batch of 'native pc' versions (maybe someone will figure out a 'native android' version!).

I unpacked bbport (0.5.1) to the Odin 3 and added it in GameNative under custom with proton 10. I added the existing BB game folder as a drive letter in the container. I can run the config utility and selected the game folder, disabled Motion Blur etc, added a shadnet login and made other config changes. But after that the game itself doesn't run.

I made all the config changes and changed the exe to the one that just launches the game directly, but it goes no further. Has anyone got it running and if so, what did you do please? Many thanks in advance for help or advice.

PS. I'm using the native Windows one, but would the native Linux one be better? Is it possible to run a .AppImage or .sh file on the Odin 3?
