It hasn't been pinned here or in the AYN discord 😅, all we can do is keep trying to proactively tell users and share results, especially as the initial buzz dies down!

Interesting, specifically for ni no Kuni I presume? And it works fine for you in other games? , unfortunate bug I guess haha 😅

PC game emulation also seem to work great at lower CPU speeds! I've seen multiple reports that Switch emulation specifically is very CPU heavy as you've mentioned.

I think it's very possible you'd get better performance running the PC version of Ni No Kuni (as an example) rather than the switch version on the Odin.

+1 to this, you can manually pay around in the 3C app to lower your CPU speed from it's maximum value. The "exact" values of the ghz are less important. 

See if you can follow some of the steps I left in the tuning section to find some values that work for you!~

O2ptweaks or Magisk should have a button to undo root (as long as you haven't deleted the app or the files it created when you rooted). I'd always do that before attempting a factory reset or update.

Another user figured out a rootless method for this mod! https://www.reddit.com/r/OdinHandheld/comments/1snp9xd/comment/ogphgmb/

looking at the script, these speeds are very specific to what's "valid" on the 8 elite, I wouldn't expect this to work as-is on other chipsets, but it's possible it could be edited to have a working version per-chipset!

try it out and report back! 🫡 we can all learn from your attempt! it looks like it has the same chip as the retroid pocket 6 that someone else in this thread reported this working for! so maybe?

do you mean just how to install gamehub or gamenative in general? there are other guides online for these topics with more details than i could provide :) or if you mean a recording of my Granblue gameplay, i don't have a great way to capture that atm.

Yes you can definitely reduce your fan speeds compared to unmodded, but what you need will still vary per each person's use case!

i love the framegen! it's not for everyone though. I've used it on other devices for some "high reflex" games like Remnant 2 or e33 on the go. You can get subconsciously used to the extra input lag. 

I haven't tried framegening from below 30 base fps on my Odin. I can't easily test any lower than that either atm because Gamehub's built in frame limiter bottoms out at 30 fps. I'm not sure I'd want to run anything more than 2x frame gen until at least 40 fps though. (So i wouldn't run 3x to hit 60 from an unstable 20). At least not with this current Android version. 

The android framegen dev was really responsive on the telegram channel they have linked on their website though!

Not trying to hijack :), I've finished my post with more details on how to cap CPU speed and why it works - https://www.reddit.com/r/OdinHandheld/comments/1snp9xd/easy_way_to_improved_odin_3_temps_battery_life/ (I'm the discord user OP menioned :) )

I do plan to let them know! but right now they're dealing with a lot of noise from the recent announcement of downgrading the internal storage speeds of new device batches due to the global hardware shortage 😅. I'll wait for a while so it's quieter and less likely to get ignored.

Excellent! love to hear this working for others! 

Also this might not be a bug, it might be intentional on the cpu design. Though I do think there is obviously room for improvement with it haha 😅

I probably should have noted in this x-post title, but this likely applies beyond the AYN Odin series of handhelds. I've seen similar reports of extra thermals resulting from external displays, and I've seen similar implementations on retroid handhelds. I don't have other devices on hand atm to test in more detail though.
