I’ve never tried Odroid but Steamlink, even on a Pi4 is not without flaws. Pi3B+ wired has been mostly unsatisfactory for me and Pi Zero W/Pi3 wireless have been nearly inoperable.

Have you had a different experience? If so- what have I been doing so wrong? I’d love to get it to work on a Pi.

I used a USB AC-wifi dongle on my Odroid-Go Advance, and the performance/latency was about the same as my genuine SteamLink on a gigabit wired connection. The main problem with the Odroid-Go Advance was the screen resolution and size making most UIs unreadable or a chore to use. The screen resolution increase on the Super might help with that though; I plan on getting one once they release, so I guess I'll find out.

Screen resolution problems make a lot of sense. I’ve built a few Raspberry Pi gameboys lately with a 3.5” 640x480 screen and they look great but text is _tough_.
