The AYN Odin handhelds are a perfect storm of emulation gaming goodness — they provide excellent performance for their price, great battery life, and a nice screen, all will solid controls and ergonomics.
This guide will work with any AYN Odin and Odin 2 model, with notes for each distinct device when necessary.
Because the AYN Odin runs on an Android platform, setting up the device is similar to setting up any other Android device for the purpose of game emulation. I already have complete Android and RetroArch guides on this website, which will serve as the foundation of setting up your Odin. There are some unique setup aspects for the Odin which we’ll cover in this guide, to complement the two guides above, but I would highly encourage you to check out those two guides if you want to take a deeper dive into the platforms.
Are the Odin devices pre-loaded with games? No, the devices ship as a general Android phone or tablet, with only essential apps (Play Store, Chrome, etc.) pre-installed. You are on your own to find the emulated game files (ROMs) to play on this device. There are no copyrighted files on this website.

This guide will show you everything you need to know about the Miyoo Mini and the Miyoo Mini Plus — where to buy one, the best tools to get it set up, accessories, and how to install custom operating systems like Onion and MiniUI.
Buy one here: AliExpress | Amazon (faster shipping) | KeepRetro | DroiX
Note that due to demand, availability has been an issue. The cheapest prices will be through the official Miyoo store on AliExpress, but you will need to check periodically to see when the device will be in stock. You can also try third-party vendors like KeepRetro or DroiX, or you can pay a premium price on Amazon to get it more quickly.
