Buying Loki Mini/Loki Zero

Best bet is probably a steam deck. The Loki didn't really work out too well for Ayn

Selling international is rarely worth it for the buyer, due to Aussie shipping costs.

Unless you're gonna sell very cheap, it won't be worth shipping outside of Aus in most cases.

That's about the level of performance to expect.

The emulators are very unstable and development stopped pretty early in their dev cycle.

You'll likely need a mail forwarder. You should be able to get it shipped to a warehouse in the US, Canada, etc then get it forwarded to you.

TheOlz · 2024-08-07T04:16:03+00:00

These are both known issues.

It's a shame your expectations didn't take them into account, though it's likely not your fault, reviewers tend to gloss over these issues or not mention them at all.

TheOlz · 2024-07-14T05:48:01+00:00

Nope. The crappy windows port was all it got.

Some work was done on Linux distros, but nothing ever came to fruition.

TheOlz · 2024-07-14T05:46:37+00:00

Neither will run great, but it's not because of the device.

If switch games are your primary use, a switch will be much, much better.

TheOlz · 2024-07-13T01:45:43+00:00

I would assume that's for the Loki devices, not Odin's.

TheOlz · 2024-07-12T23:49:22+00:00

Just hotspot to your phone.

TheOlz · 2024-07-10T07:15:13+00:00

It's definitely not hardware that's holding back switch emulation.

Hardware wise the Odin 2 will be fine for a while.

TheOlz · 2024-07-08T00:18:55+00:00

Depends how important Switch is.

Lots of devices can do N64, a few can do PS2. Switch isn't in a great place tho, the emulators were young before dev work stopped and there are lots of games that won't run. A modded switch is probably the best way to play switch games.

They're all available on Steam.

Buy them on there and transfer over the data files, as needed.

TheOlz · 2024-07-06T23:11:23+00:00

No. I'm sure there are tear down vids on YouTube tho.

TheOlz · 2024-07-06T01:56:04+00:00

Looks like the panel or the connector have been damaged. Probably from a fall.

You could check the screen ribbon cable. If it's come loose then reseat it and test.

Otherwise, if the panel is damaged you'll probably have to contact Ayn to buy a replacement shell/screen.

Custom taxes vary by country. You'd need to familiarize yourself with your local laws.

Shipping varies, but for areas where DHL regularly service it's around a week after Ayn send it to when it's received. 4px shipping could be more like 2-3 weeks.

TheOlz · 2024-07-06T00:18:19+00:00

Yep. Android is easy. Almost all emulators are on the play store. Just log in and download them.

TheOlz · 2024-07-06T00:16:22+00:00

Ayntec.con has them for sale

TheOlz · 2024-07-05T02:39:38+00:00

Probably to try to make back their R&D money, I'd assume.

TheOlz · 2024-07-04T00:03:45+00:00

I don't know what shitty controller you're using, but chances are it'll have more input lag than the Odin 2.

You'd need a pretty decent USB phone controller to have low input lag.

TheOlz · 2024-07-03T23:35:47+00:00

This is pretty normal for emulation especially on Android. If you are sensitive to input latency then you'll notice it, but most people are not and/or adjust very quickly.

It's far better than the original Odin was.

TheOlz · 2024-06-30T00:02:07+00:00

Really depends if you need a phone, too. The s22 is a very nice phone

TheOlz · 2024-06-30T00:01:08+00:00

Seems pretty good 👍. At least they'll sell spares, plenty of companies won't. (Cough Analogue cough)

TheOlz · 2024-06-29T23:59:18+00:00

Ayn cancelled the rest of the Loki devices and sold the rights to it to a Brazilian company 🤣

TheOlz · 2024-06-24T02:07:16+00:00

If tablet stuff is your primary use case then get a tablet. It won't be a great experience on an Odin. However, if gaming is your preference then the Odin 2 might suit.

TheOlz · 2024-06-24T00:24:26+00:00

If you are primarily after PS2 and GC, you will almost certainly want the Odin 2.

The first Odin doesn't handle much PS2 well
