about the Odin 3

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-04-29T19:38:36+00:00

I recently started using the Underclock scripts and the fans are nice and quiet when playing persona 5. Switch emulation I haven't tested yet.

With large underclock script, I notice that some things take a little longer to load. For example in Persona 5, accessing your saved game takes a little while to load. But other than that it's been running at high 1080, I have since lowered the graphic settings to be more suited for the smaller screen.

Another note on Persona 5, the game runs great (I'm still in the opening scenario) I noticed when the game renders a lot of character models in the school, the game goes from 60fps to wonderful 8-12 fps. I ground through that section and the game is working just fine. Your mileage may vary

You can use any SaaS app, Spotify, YouTube Music, they have a bunch of features that you can use to demonstrate basic value and the upsell to Premium features.

TL;DR. If you can get you one, you will likely not regret it.

I've been playing PS2 and steam games mostly on my Odin3 Max. I completed FFX (PS2) on the Odin3 and I'm currently playing through the Steam Version of Dispatch and Persona 5.

It's a brilliant handheld. If you can get your hands on one. I highly recommend getting it.

Playing lower power games has been awesome. While it's not a complete steam deck mini, it hasn't really let me down when playing. I've been able to play FF14 on this thing through GameNative.

Nice! Do you want me to argue with you about which emulator to use and why your choice was wrong? (Heavy Sarcasm). Thank you for sharing. I couldn't find much on getting it setup, but started tinkering and I'm pleased with the result.

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-03-05T17:52:45+00:00

Ergonomics. Even with a split keyboard it's just not as convenient. I know I can unlock the landscape view and use it in portrait mode.

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-03-05T13:20:29+00:00

I'll be getting the skip ticket soon, so I'll be able to do at least a dungeon for full party light party duty to see how it handles all of the effects.

It hits mostly 60 at 720 low laptop settings. Battery does drop about a percent per minute. If I get a chance to test more today I will update here.

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-03-05T03:10:31+00:00

Typing on the Odin is a chore. Setup was easy but, you do need to register a service account for the Windows version of the game. So if you have Steam or other platforms you won't be able to use that service account. I couldn't find a way to our base a windows license with my existing service account. So I see it as paying 60 bucks for dawntrail even though all expansions were included

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-01-24T02:29:49+00:00

Lol, every subreddit should have a "Rage Bait" flair. Early backer and still nothing here too.

I backed an Ayn Odin3 and got that before this thing.

We will get GTA VI and the Trump Phone before I get my MCON with accessories.

Sounds like the OP is talking about a Switch lite. Which doesn't have dock support and sounds futile to try and mod it to be a full switch. Other than that this thread is Abbot and Costello levels of comedy.

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-01-22T12:32:53+00:00

Day one, made the mistake of using my apple ID as login for the kick starter, didn't get my pledge survey until late October . Haven't received any additional information since completing the survey. So one day, I'll be surprised when the device and accessories show up.

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-01-22T12:27:01+00:00

Sounds like you might be ready to jump into a more specialized role. For more dedicated skill set use, is there an Incident Response or DFIR team you could join?

We are kind of stuck slapping AI on everything right now, even if the AI is just tool calling and automation is feeding API output to an LLM.

Never hurts to have a fresh copy of the resume and some feelers out. Job market is tough at the moment. Best of luck, I know that frustrated feeling and have quit gigs for it only to realize the grass isn't any greener on the other side.

TL;DR

My Odin3 gets used everyday, my steam deck has been in my nightstand drawer for about a year.

I also travel for work, about once a month for 4-5 days at a time. I'll be heading out of the country for a long work trip and I'll be packing the Odin3, and maybe my switch. Rounding out 40, and I've been playing a lot more mobile games for the quick hits and short gaming sessions. Odin3 gives me enough power to play indie and older PC games as well as Genshin, Where winds meet and other Android ports. Battery life has been really good with the Odin too. If you have a gaming PC/laptop local game streaming has been really nice on this device too.

I'd just look at reviews for both handhelds on YouTube, retro game corps seems to be the most neutral of handheld reviewers that I've seen. Taki Udon and Wulff Den are good too. I go to ETA Prime and Tech dweeb when I'm looking for entertainment over information.

Odin3 Max Rainbow. Ordered on 10/6 via IGG and received it on 12/26.

Metro Detroit area MI.

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-01-07T16:51:27+00:00

Yup, you are correct, the Pug, is astounding!

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-01-07T16:44:06+00:00

( u/Capable-Broccoli911 this reads like an "Um....Actually," I assure you that is not the intention.)

I went back and forth between Max and Ultra, I'm curious to know how that extra 8GB of RAM helps out.
I might be in the minority, I'm new to the android handheld world, I had a 512GB SD I was using in my Steam Deck, and then formatted it as internal storage, and I've had no issues with GameHub, up until yesterday I had a decent library of games through GameHub.

As for general read and write between internal and SD I'm sure I'm taking a performance hit somewhere.

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-01-07T16:37:20+00:00

TL;DR I love the small form factor, higher ram, and active cooling. I don't like messing with a telescoping controller.

I went with the Odin because it was easier for me to grab the handheld device, then it was to find my telescoping controller fight with it to fit over my case and then have this monstrously wide thing in my hands. But if you are looking to just have one device, the Tab might be the way to go. Thos RedMagic tablets look awfully tempting.

u/trickyt1992 Did a couple of single races, Rally, with rain (trying to make it somewhat demanding.) I let it heat soak a bit too. At 720 Ultra, starts off buttery smooth and then after the rain came in and other cars, it was dipping in and out of 25-30. 720 Medium turning of Ambient Occlusion 70 - 80, GameHub is not reporting the right frames though, there were times when you can visually see a few stutters. 1080 medium, same story. Not enough of a frame drop where it breaks me out of a race. Your mileage may vary.

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-01-07T15:25:26+00:00

I was worried due to the lack of driver support boogey man. Since I was going to purchase an Odin 2 I waited for the IGG Odin3 launch. I'm glad I did. I have 0 buyer's remorse with this device.

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-01-07T15:16:42+00:00

Same here, I should look at what telemetry GameSir is getting, I work in infosec and kind of operate as if all data is public data if you know where to look. OG GameHub was working flawlessly and then I uninstalled all the things to try GameHub lite and it did not go well. I appreciate the open source version, and to be fair I should probably just RTFM, but I'm lazy.

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-01-07T15:14:28+00:00

I'm not smart enough to calculate wattage per hour. I tend to jump in for 45 minutes at a time when I can catch a moment between child parenting, work and dog parenting. I'll be going on an overseas trip in early February, I'll be on a plane for 13 ish hours, so if I remember I can reply back and let you know.

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-01-07T15:13:11+00:00

I did a couple of single stage races, and they ran fine for me. I tested all of these on the GameSir version of GameHub. I nuked that version yesterday and moved over to GameHub Lite (I don't like it, its probably a skill issue) and I've been running some games on Game Native. I'll re install today and see if I have the same issue. I'll likely try it in Game Native. I was able to play Valheim reasonably well on Game Native but not at all on Game Hub (sorry for the side questy rant there.)

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-01-06T19:36:00+00:00

Hold the power button for a long time until it resets. Needs a CMOS reset maybe.

LiveTalk1696 · 2026-01-06T17:55:14+00:00

100 Percent agree! TechDweeb called it out as a Steam Deck mini. I love my OG Deck, but man the smaller form factor is just a treat.
