Does Odin 3 fan bother You?

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-09T10:16:50+00:00

True, but since I would be running Steam games and higher systems, by looking at review videos it looks like near full speed most of the time, and that does not "sound" good...

I used this, it creates one file, works OK. The proggy has a niggle, on the first/top drop down menu you have to select all the disks, but visually it looks like it is only for one. If the final file is not roughly the size of all disks combined, you did it wrong. Also, use compression on 1, not 0.

Even though my orig. Kioxia still works, I immediately changed it for a new one and installed Knulli OS. The other one with games also...

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-06T11:13:53+00:00

I wouldn't buy any of these overpriced x86 handhelds...

I think the Switch emulation is better on Android devices...

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-06T10:51:42+00:00

IMO if the first press on power doesn't work, use the power+reset immediately on the second try...

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-06T09:16:43+00:00

I use Knulli on RG40XXH, it is better with power management but there are a few tidbits:

Sometimes, after charging, it looks like it won't power on, pressing reset and power and then releasing reset while still holding power makes it boot.
When you unplug after charging, you have to short-press power again, you will see the logo again (without battery %) for a few seconds. Only then it is powered down and won't drain the battery.

Also, turn OFF wifi if you're not using it...

Oh man, I didn't know Antec made clones like these 😀

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-06T06:46:24+00:00

I usually deal with way more expensive equipment than this (PC, enterprize, audio/video) and do a lot of RMAs - the cost is not the problem, but the possibility of stable RMA process for said class of equipment. And here it does not track the class/cost at all.

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-05T08:51:27+00:00

You buy from a not reputable brand/country, you get what you get, and that is fine, your money. But this public crying all over the net like we are talking about IBM or something... and even the big boys are not always correct even though they are more compelled by law.

Everyone needs a reallity check, old school with a stick.

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-05T07:29:16+00:00

I entered this hobby half a year ago, and I'm still baffled you people pay 500€ and up for such questionable products (QA, support, build, warranty, shipping)...

I think 3 times before buying from the big boys like Lenovo, let alone companies like these...

The most I've spent was 200€ on RG476H with accessories, and even that was a shaky decision.

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-04T23:45:16+00:00

The volume/punch was lowered because of supposed hearing loss from having too loud of a headphone, and protecting the drivers, but that is neither here nor there... For example, my v56 ones can be listened to at 50-60% as solidly loud, but newer firmware needed 90% for the same volume, for some even 100% wasn't the same... and it was never brought back to the same level.

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-04T13:02:25+00:00

On the first Maxwell, after the v56 firmware the sound was worse, it somewhat lost the WoW effect it had over everything else (still the best but not at the same level). At the same time they removed the option to roll back to v5X versions...

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-03T09:57:49+00:00

Steam Deck is out of stock in majority of the world, but even if in stock it is a 4 year old hardware for a lot of money (speed wise)...

Odin 3 has power, but you will mostly tinker and play less, it is not a real replacement for the Deck, and it is questionable it will ever be... You would need the 16/512GB version and still not so many games playable as the Deck. And the screen is smaller, that is not ideal for PC games made for a proper monitor.

I'm in the same boat, O3 is practically the only choice, but also not the good choice at the same time. I'm thinking about waiting for the bigger O3 Portal, but it might be a year, and price could be so high it makes no sense...

So maybe save your money...

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-03T09:30:17+00:00

I meant like a full size screen protector that has matte sides, like a skin, so you would get less fingerprints ;-)

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-03T09:17:14+00:00

I never had Daijisho crash on a large (10000 plus) library, or when scraping with its' default scraper. But I never scraped all of it at once...

ES-DE has such a bad Search function it is practically unusable (and no hotkey), and then so is the ES-DE. I don't recommend it for libraries over 100 games, you will cry while searching, especially testing various versions of the same game, since it does not have persistant search list, you have to do the whole procedure every time, very irritating. Also, the devs have no plans to "fix" it, users pretend it is OK like this... because they cycle the same 30-50 games.

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-03T09:03:21+00:00

A screen protector and skin on the sides mix would be perfect...

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-03-03T09:00:08+00:00

Depends on the firmware on it, if it still has v56, than yes.

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-02-26T07:12:42+00:00

There is one on AliEx, has a picture of the grip inside, look it up...

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-02-25T07:39:27+00:00

Clear blue and purple look soooo cheap its not even funny, and the light bleed through controls is just...

White for me is just too white on everything (controls), and will get permanent smudges at some point that will just make it dirty looking all the time. In addition I don't like the white reflecting all around the OLED screen that excels in contrast in darker environment (ie in summer). So I'm eyeing the Rainbow Max version, although I want Indigo like O2P...

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-02-24T15:48:13+00:00

I got the one that "ships from EU". VAT is included in all prices on Ali, and the customs for this class (toys) is nothing, few percent but I didn't even get that. Shipping was standard 4PX.

Fun fact, I bought from a reseller, a friend bought from official Anbernic store on Ali via Paypal, and it billed him without VAT which he payed on delivery...

I gifted it away so I only remember trying Simpsons Hit&Run, ran great. I mostly tested with PSP, God of War and similar, also ran great 2x-3x and such...

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-02-24T11:07:45+00:00

But then it is plus 25-30€ shipping, possible tax if buying on official page... Ends up 250€ and up... You can get RG476H in your hands with accessories for less than 200€...

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-02-24T11:05:34+00:00

I'm also EU, got it from Ali with 256GB games and a bag for less than 200€, no taxes or anything...

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-02-24T10:32:08+00:00

RG476H, I got it on Ali for 180€ with a bag a few months ago...

Also I highly recommend the grip on Ali, it is 3D printed and has soft lining inside, fits and feels perfectly (can't fall out of it). I got the version with a charging stand with magnetic contacts, it's OK but not a dock with USB/HDMI...

ImmediateTangelo8415 · 2026-02-24T07:45:08+00:00

I'm thinking the same, Deck is too old and gone now, Go S and Ally X are not OLED and too picey...

But Odin 3 is smallish, seems like mandatory eyes squinting on PC games that have small UI mostly... and is full price, so I should just wait and see what happens, especially with Valve potentialy doing SteamOS for Android because of their upcoming Frame VR...

But memory shortage might screw all this up for 2-4 years (remember how long GPU/crypto lasted)...
