lowleveldata, My interest level is pretty low unless steam supports android
refurbishedrefurbisher, You can get it working with Box86/Box64 and Termux, but it’s not exactly easy.
hoshikarakitaridia, “but it’s not exactly easy” you pay either with your wallet or your time I guess.
Kensai, Which is time you spent working, so I guess time either way.
punseye, winlator does the same thing, right?
refurbishedrefurbisher, Yeah
Klystron, You can stream games from your PC, if that helps.
vrighter, Which is like taking a lamborghini to the grocery store.
You missed the point. There’s no point to a powerful device if you want to use it for streaming. A potato could do that effortlessly.
Klystron, (edited ) Well, it’s marketed as an emulation machine, not a steam deck killer. In the niche it’s aiming for, it’s a pretty knock out device.
Mononon, This thing looks like a beast. I have the first Odin, and it’s a very competent device, but not a powerhouse. They basically threw all the specs at this one and made meaningful improvements to the rest of the hardware. I’m pretty excited to get one.
Hydrogen, (edited ) Hardware looks cool… what do you play on it?
Klystron, I play mostly handheld emulators on mine, with some other systems sprinkled in. Handhelds have always been my favorite systems, so it’s lots of Pokemon, jrpgs on the Vita/psp, and whatever else games I missed growing up. If you want to buy one device that’ll do everything, it seems like the Odin 2 is it. It really is awesome having a dedicated device for emulation.
thetreesaysbark, I am way out of my depth with knowledge on android gaming devices, but I for some reason feel that powerhouse android devices would be capable of something much more advance than Pokémon. Am I just wrong on this assumption?
(Happy to be wrong here, I’m just kind of curious)
Klystron, (edited ) Nah yeah, they definitely can, I was just saying for me that’s what I like doing. The Odin 2 specifically can play up to PS2/gc upscaled to like 1080p pretty much perfectly, 3ds, Wii, and some switch as well, however the android switch emulator still isn’t fully optimized. I play smash melee or a match of Mario strikers on mine from time to time just when I have some time to kill.
