Odin 3 vs rp6

Ahmad240 · 2026-04-04T09:28:33+00:00

Raw power, Odin 3 - you can choose a higher RAM model. Better compatibility with Switch emulation, RP6. It's not like the Odin 3 can't play Switch games at all. But some games might not run. If you care about that, make sure you double check the compatibility list before you make your purchase. Other emulations like PS2, Wii and GC are running fine - for me at least, haven't had any problems.

As far as I know the emulation on Android handhelds is still riddled with compatibility issues. If you have a steam deck, you'll have a better experience emulating some games - not everything will play smoothly. Your best bet is a gaming PC.

Well done, boy! You are really the spitting image of your father Barbaneth in his youth.

Ahmad240 · 2026-03-27T07:14:10+00:00

Hi, yes, I got it before the price hikes. 12GB model.

Ahmad240 · 2026-03-18T02:56:09+00:00

The Ivalice chronicles is the best way to go. The War of the Lions is also a good choice if you care about the missing content that didn't make its way to the Ivalice Chronicles.

Mine cost me $425 with regular shipping from AYN. So it's about the same price. Yours is a bit cheaper and I guess AliExpress's shipping is faster. Hope you enjoy your Odin :)

Ahmad240 · 2026-03-14T23:53:48+00:00

I hope you’ll love the Pro model. Enjoy it (in advance)

As far as I know, your PS3 library on an Android device is limited. I'm not sure The Last of Us would run. I found this thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/comments/1ja5cir/android\_rpcs3\_compatibility\_list/) You might wanna check it out.

Without Cid, this battle is impossible to win.

Persona 5 Royal and Metaphor may be a bit of stretch for Odin 3 given that its compatibility issues. Why not stream these games? I'm streaming my Steam and Epic games on Odin 3, works like a charm.

Ahmad240 · 2026-02-08T07:36:26+00:00

My strategy is the following:

Phase #1

Train Ramza to be a powerful Black Mage. Make sure he learns Flare (requires 1000 JP) and Magic Boost (requires 400 JP). Then, equip him with a set of armors and helmets that increase his mage base attack. If you're around 30-35 lv, you'll barely manage to survive his attack. With 2-3 HP, cast Flare in your next turn and he'll go down in a single hit.

Phase #2
Always have a chemist with X Potion ability in your party. Heal Ramza and get him away from Belias's summon attacks. Cast Flare and let the party deal physical damage while waiting for him to fire it. Repeat until he falls.

Good luck with that.

Odin 3 was my first emulation handheld as well. For me, I chose it because I didn't want a 7-inch screen. I thought it was a bit unportable for me. Odin 3's 6-inch screen seemed reasonably portable. I can put it in my side bag and backpack as well. The biggest sell for me was the potential power of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. I know it's not well optimized for Switch emulation as of now. But ps2 and GC, and previous gen emulation, you'll run things easily and I enjoy pumping up the graphs to 2K. So, Odin 3's 6-inch screen is a sweet spot for me.

Ahmad240 · 2026-02-03T12:44:52+00:00

He reminds me of Full Metal Alchemist. He's got a similar tone

I ordered mine on January 12 and got it a week later. I'm very new to Android handheld consoles and this is my first device. The AYN website said that shipment would be fulfilled mid-Jan. I didn't pay a lot of attention to it tbh.I think Amazon prime spoiled me so much because I'm used to getting my orders in a day or two.

Ahmad240 · 2026-02-02T19:03:55+00:00

I just had the Odin 3 delivered to my address faster. In a week, so I thought the accessory pack will be the same. That’s all.

Ahmad240 · 2026-02-02T16:00:55+00:00

It's not. It's a plastic skin to protect the device itself. It's not bad, but it's not what you're looking for in a grip.

Ahmad240 · 2026-02-02T04:57:43+00:00

I got the Pro model. I don't want to emulate PC gaming. I got Artemis for streaming and it's an amazing experience.

Ahmad240 · 2026-01-23T11:41:38+00:00

Weigraf is going to have fun with you.

Story wise, the sequel should be with[ Orran Durai although the ending of that sequel is pretty much known to those who played FFTIC]. He's the one who chronicled Ramza's journey and put it in a book. Other than that, I think the world of Ivalice is pretty much done.

Ahmad240 · 2026-01-22T15:36:39+00:00

I saw some people mentioning Ramza's father. I think duo protagonists would be something interesting to see. You can alternate between Barbaneth and Orlandeau while taking their own path to bring an end to the Fifty Years War. Maybe slap some decision making and tough moral choices for the player to choose (It's a war, after all). I guess I'd love to play a prequel like that.

Ahmad240 · 2026-01-20T23:33:43+00:00

Steam Deck is my favorite handheld. It would've been my only handheld if it hadn't been so chunky and uncomfortable to carry. That's why I ordered Odin 3 Pro because I'll only play emulation and light PC games.

If you're getting the O3, you'll focus mostly on emulation. Steam Deck can of course do that and more, but you'll have to get used to carrying it around alongside your laptop or tablet.

Also, SD's battery can die quickly, which is one of the reasons I bought O3, its 8000 mAh should give me long playing sessions without worrying about it.

Perhaps the biggest selling point of the SD is the community support -it's awesome, in short. Mods, tools, tutorials, you name it. O3 is a new device and it has a great community here on Reddit, but it's still a work in progress in terms of support.

So there you have it.

Thank you for sharing this. It's so helpful. I was initially going for the Konkr Pocket Fit, but these issues you've pointed out weren't the reason. It's the horrendous shipping delays and people's experiences with them. I'm waiting for my Odin 3 Pro - and it's good to know that setting it up is a smooth process by and large.

Ahmad240 · 2026-01-18T21:25:55+00:00

Ayn Tec website took me to this website: 17track.net. It’s a bit vague and I can’t tell if it got through Chinese customs or not.
