In closing, I prefer using the original Ayn Odin2 on the go and even at home. Thankfully, I can use KDE Connect to quickly transfer files to and from the handhelds to my Linux laptops to keep things in relative sync (Syncthing for Android has been discontinued).

Overall, pretty disappointed in what could have been a proper upgrade from the original Odin 2.

Last issue that I have with the Portal is the slightly off 120 Hz OLED display causes the display to go all black sporadically when black frame insertion is set to 1 (meant for 120 Hz displays). This is more evident in NES/Famicom games than in SNES/SFC games.

Another thing that is common when the joystick LEDs are enabled is that the LED for the right stick stays on when it's in sleep mode. There is already a status LED on the top of the handheld next to the power button.

The stock caps are too small and slippery to be used as a d-pad replacement for platformers and fighting games. I only used the larger cap on the left stick as the larger cap on the right stick get in the way of using the A/B/X/Y buttons. 🤦🏼

The L2 and R2 triggers have a bit too much travel, especially when I assign hotkeys to them in RetroArch compared to the original Odin2.

I ordered the Portal with a set of larger joystick caps and Nintendo-style button layout (which I haven't tried to install the latter).

I could take the grip case off before I put it into the carry case and keep the grip case in the backpack or tote bag, but that is a hassle-and-a-half.

Plus, the grip case isn't as rigid as other shells or grip cases for other handhelds. That means that it's already a wee bit loose after a dozen removal and inserts.

I don't have or use a TPU shell for the original Odin2, so I can't speak on if the original carry case for it will work with the TPU shell.

It's kind of disappointing that there isn't a form-fitting case for the Odin2 Portal with the grip case installed. I don't want to carry the Portal around in my backpack without some other case around it.

Without the grip case, the handheld feels thin and the shape of the rear makes holding the handheld feel slippery and my fingers just don't grip it well, unlike the original Odin2.

The grip and feel of the handheld improves a lot (and better than the Odin2) with the grip case, but the original carry case wasn't built for the Odin2 Portal with the grip case installed.

After using the Ayn Odin2 and the Ayn Odin2 Portal for a while, I kind of prefer the original Odin2 more.

Even though the new Portal version has an OLED screen and mine has the GameCube-like Indigo shell and grip case, the ergonomics and portability of the device is a big regression.

Oh so *that's* what's up with all the parameters in that are only accessible through the UI. Makes sense. I'm gonna need to support that since I like Odin2's capabilities a lot. Meanwhile, let's see if some other plugin will load with my current code...

looks like in the upcoming days I'm gonna be learning about calling from , so I can use (drobilla.net/docs/suil/index.h)

totally uncharted territory. wouldn't have even had to go down this path if exposed *all* of its parameters. the more I learn about how works the more I wonder what's up with *that*...

Over the past month I've written this little thingy in

And here it is, playing a little that I composed on my nearly 15 years ago, and has been bouncing around my head ever since.

Playback uses the plugin , which has largely replaced and -NoiseMaker as my favorite free softsynth.

It does play other sounds than square waves, I just haven't exposed all the parameters yet.

It's time to play with some yarn in Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World on Nintendo 3DS! Runs great on the Odin 2 Max!
