  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.
- You can get it working with Box86/Box64 and Termux, but it's not exactly easy.
  
  winlator does the same thing, right?
  
  "but it's not exactly easy" you pay either with your wallet or your time I guess.
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.
- Hardware looks cool... what do you play on it?
  
  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.
