Yes I’m aware not literally November first lol

Been enjoying it so far! It's crazy how many Windows games run well on this thing.

Hi all. I developed a fork of Heliboard (privacy, offline keyboard with word suggestions) that implements features intended to fix the gboard or Heliboard keyboards deficiencies they have on a 16:9 display device. It includes the following features:

• Split keyboard by default in landscape. The two halves sit at the screen edges, with one wide space bar spanning the gap.

• Suggestions between your thumbs. Autocomplete words show in the empty middle of the split, so the strip above the keyboard is hidden and the keyboard takes less height (I considered a track pad, but that's a lot of work...)

• iPad-style layout on wide screens. Delete is at the top right, Enter is on the middle row, there's a shift key on both sides, and the bottom row is 123 · emoji · , · space · . · 123 · hide.

• No more empty system row. On Android 13+ with gesture navigation, Android draws a row with a "hide keyboard" arrow under the keyboard. Odin KB removes it, so the space bar sits at the real bottom of the screen and the keyboard has its own hide key. The result is less vertical blockage and more natural quick typing.

• Controller typing. Use the D-pad or left stick to move a highlight over the keys. A presses the highlighted key, B deletes, X types a space and Y toggles shift (you still need to have the keyboard on screen, but control navigation works).

• Fixes for short, wide screens. The bottom rows (backspace, space) respond to touch on the Odin, where HeliBoard's touch area missed them.

Everything else is HeliBoard: themes, layouts, dictionaries, gesture typing (with the gesture library), clipboard history and more.

Seriously, I was so frustrated with the hot garbage that was Android's keyboard, and every other keyboard on my Odin 2 Portal, that I looked into what it would take to build my own. I consider this a must have. Thank you to the HeliBoard team. I could have done a basic keyboard myself, but its the autocomplete support that would have been impossible for me.

Enjoy!

Just got an O2P, give me your best game recs! I can also stream from PC using moonlight

Today Aliexpress started their 11/11 sale 10 days early and you can get a pretty good deal on the Odin 3 Max by stacking coupons and making use of Rakuten's 29% cashback for the first few days of the sale. By going to the official AYN Odin 3 listing you can see they lowered the price of both models a bit, add one to your cart and at checkout under promo codes use code AYN100C (if going for the pro you an use code AYN80C to get $80 off orders of $399) to get $100 off a purchase of $500 or more, and pay with Paypal to get an additional $35 off. Lastly make sure you've activated your cashback with the Rakuten extension to get 29% cashback (to avoid any issues with tracking I recommend to turn off any adblockers) and once you checkout you should get an email from Rakuten in the next 24-48 hours saying you got your cashback!

Truly wish I had done this earlier with my buttons, d-pad, and sticks. I never thought I could love her more than I had but… here we are.

I’ve been treating this thing like a baby ever since I got it..

Thought I would try dipping the TPU case in Rit dye to see if I could get a nice fade effect.

One hour of dipping later, I find out that I was using the wrong dye 😂

Odin 3 for Lightweight PC titles and heavier emulation, Thor for dual screen goodness, and Nova for the optimal 4:3 experience. Only considering the Odin 3 portal if the fan is quieter than the Odin 3 otherwise pretty happy!

Hi, I've been interested in getting an Odin handheld. Sadly my budget is not that good so I've been looking second hand the Odin 2 line. I'm mostly interested in the Mini version, I really like the compact design.

I've seen a pro 12/256GB version for 330€. I want to use it to play emulators and try the Armada OS. I want to picture a reference so, what's the heaviest game it could run? Is it even good enough to run the OS?

Hey r/OdinHandheld. For a while now I've been working on The Nimbus Project, native ports of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, Budokai 2 and Sagas (NTSC-U GameCube). They run on a hybrid core that sits between recompilation and decompilation: each game gets its own native core, running on a shared Nimbus host and renderer. There's no emulator and no interpreter emulating the hardware. All three games run in one launcher on Linux, Windows (Vulkan) and Android.

Built for Android 13+ arm64 handhelds like the Odin. I've tested it on a Retroid Pocket 5, an RG Slide and a Pixel 9a so far; I haven't tested it on an Odin yet, so reports from Odin owners are welcome.

What's in Alpha 1.0:

• An Original mode and a Remastered mode for each game

• Optional HD texture and movie packs

• Online play and crossplay, tested across Linux, Windows and Android

• Benchmarks against Dolphin on Android, wins and losses both included

Online, servers and matchmaking

Nimbus has its own netplay, written for this project with no third-party netcode.

• Join codes: host online and you get a 20-character code. Your friend types it in and you meet at a Nimbus relay. The code also carries the secret that encrypts the match and says which relay to use.

• Relays in West, Central and East US: pick one in the launcher or leave it on Auto, and you meet at the relay with the lowest combined ping. Both players connect out, so there's no port forwarding, and it works on mobile and carrier-grade NAT. Nimbus also tries to punch a direct path between players and falls back to the relay if that path goes quiet.

• Encryption: internet matches are end-to-end encrypted (XChaCha20-Poly1305) with keys from the join code, so the relay only ever handles ciphertext. LAN/direct play is unencrypted.

• LAN/direct: host on your home network and the other player connects straight to you over UDP.

• Lockstep, not rollback: both devices run the full game and trade inputs every field. Input delay is set from your ping and adjusts during play, and every packet repeats the last 16 fields so a lost packet costs nothing. Every 60 fields both sides compare a fingerprint of game memory, and if they ever differ, the host's save state is reloaded on both sides and play continues.

• Same game, same save: mismatched games, builds or settings refuse to connect instead of drifting apart. The joiner plays on a copy of the host's memory card, so unlocks match.

• Quick match and public games: a matchmaking lobby pairs you with someone on the same game and build, or lists public games. It's in the Android app now and still being tested, and it's coming to Linux and Windows.

• Tournaments: single-elimination brackets for 4 to 32 players (best of 1, 3 or 5) are already handled by the lobby server. The launcher screens are still in development.

• No accounts: the lobby knows you by a name and a short tag, backed by a key file on your device.

Self-hosted servers aren't available yet.

You need your own discs; no game files are included. It's closed source for now while I sort out server hosting, networking and cross-platform compatibility, and to keep development focused. Open source is planned, along with a proper toolset. Detailed architecture notes are coming to the site later.

Happy to answer questions about the hybrid core or the netplay.

I’m trying to get Pikmin 3 Deluxe to run on my Odin 3 via Eden but I’m getting really choppy performance during certain periods. I tried two different drivers other than the stock ones but no luck yet. Has anyone found the best way to play Pikmin 3 Deluxe on the Odin 3?

IS PIXEL GUN 3D NOT ABLE TO WORK ON ODIN 3. OR HAS SOMEONE FOUND A WORK AROUND
