Thanks! I appreciate the sub as well.

No, If you are just playing normally I doubt the viewing angle factors in at all. If someone is looking at your gameplay from an angle then, yeah, they may notice but that is an edge case.

They are great! Every time I pick one up my 9y old inner kid is amazed. Enjoy the new device!

Ooh, yes, that would be interesting and a must buy for me. If I had to make a full wish list for my ideal Miyoo Mini OLED, it would also include all-metal body and Wi-Fi as well.

@@muzzworksmiyoo anvil?

No problem and thanks ☺!

New color and the screen is a bit of a give and take but yeah, still mostly the same great mini. Which is nice to see. LitNXT can be more expensive depending on where you live in the world. Shop around, some have better luck with ali express and amazon.

For sure. You get so much with this little handheld.

It is still a solid machine. The RP4 and pro may come down in price once the RP5 is rleased later this month. So you may be able to score one of those at a discount.

Not for PS2. It can reach up to Dreamcast and it struggles a bit so definitely will not play PS2 games.

​@@KalboVello maybe you have some recommendation for some handheld like this to emulat PS2 games like NFS UG/MW? 😅

Like @KalboVello said, it can play Dreamcast and below. Take a look at the Retroid Pocket Mini, Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, Anbernic RGCube, or Anbernic RG406v. These are more mid-tier priced devices, but they are capable of playing PS2 and GameCube libraries.

@@muzzworks great much thanks for this i will check it 🔥

Looks cool🔥

That's what she said...

@@Kevin-Schmevin 4 inches, she's never had it so good 😂

When all you're working with is 3.5 inches, that extra half inch can make or break your experience. ... That's also what she said.

Yeh my preference is the 40XXH as well.

It happens. I appreciate the comment! I hope the review was helpful.

They don't flare out much but that plus the sticks does make it less portable and pocketable. Sound like the 35XXH is better for your needs.

Thanks for the sub!

They connected with me, but I am sure you can reach out through their site to inquire.

Lol, thanks for subscribing. I appreciate the support.

No, exactly the same performance.

Thanks for the sub and great feedback. Yeah, the cardinal snapping of the sticks is a bit of an oversight on my end.

Yeah, many of the Anbernic devices resemble small Steam Decks, but to be fair to Anbernic and many of the other retro handheld manufacturers, the Steam Deck is fairly generic looking as well. :)

For sure you can, but there is something about a dedicated handheld that makes the experience better. For the majority of emulation, the performance isn't really what matters. The experience really plays a huge part. A decent Android controller attachment + a decent phone will for sure deliver better performance. The processors in the flagships today (or like you said even the ones from 4y ago) will run circles around 99% of these devices.

​@@muzzworks this

It is a tough choice, and it changes a lot with the pending release of the RP5 and Mini. For me, I use the RGCube for just about every game except the PSP library or the harder to run PS2 games; for those, I use a Steamdeck or RP4 Pro. The RGCubes portability and comfort make a huge difference. I would suggest considering the RGCube or waiting a few weeks to grab the RP4P if and when the price drops. If the price does not drop, consider getting an RP5 if you don't mind the size increase. You will also soon have the RP Mini as an option so take a look at that one as well. Lots of choices, all great ones. I don't think you will be disappointed with either choice.

@@muzzworks The reason I'm trying to pick right now is Amazon's going to give me 50% refund because they messed up a shipping issue so I'm trying to pick between the RG Cube and RP4+ I currently have the RG405M so I'm looking for somebody's opinion who played both

Ah, that changes things a bit, as you already have a more portable 405M. Go with the RP4Pro. It gives you access to all the widescreen systems (PS2, GC hacks, and some Switch) and provides a nice performance boost over the 405M. You can still use your 405M for all your 4:3 and lower games. The RP4Pro is a better all-around device, and at a 50% discount, it is a no brainer. It does everything the Cube does and more, so you have more options for playing your library if you diversify your handhelds a bit more.

@@muzzworks see my other dilemma is in a once device type of dude I don't like to play on multiple devices

@@SoulForMany Well, RP4Pro will play all that you are interested in, as long as you don't mind the larger pillar boxing. So, if it's one device for everything, then RP4P might be your better choice. You can also look into syncing your save data using syncthing if that is what is keeping you from using multiple devices. Syncthing running on android devices is quite easy to setup so setting it up on the 405M and RP4Pro would be easy enough see RGC guide : retrogamecorps.com/2024/08/11/guide-using-syncthing-with-retro-handhelds

Performance is good. It is only a 720p screen, so low settings and bumping up the FPS work well. The biggest issue is the same as on most small phones: small fonts and text can be hard to read. You are also taking a non-zero risk of being banned with the keymapping. I have not heard of anyone being banned using Anbernic's keymapper, though, and I have used it without any issues. For a quick play session in bed or on the go, it is good. I would not use it as my primary device to play Genshin Impact; go with the RP4 Pro or wait for the Retroid Pocket 5 reviews, as it will have a bigger screen and Retroid also has a touchscreen keymapper for Android.

I will do you one better and give you my top 5: Stramdeck, RP4 pro, RGCube, Miyoo Mini Plus, PS Vita.

@@muzzworks Stramdeck 🤣 thats a new one

Lol :)

Gunbarich, released in 2001 in arcades, I believe. It has been ported to Steam (PC) and Switch as well, if I remember correctly.

@@muzzworks thanks

Agreed, the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro is better overall. The RG Cube is better in some areas, i.e., d-pad, portability, and ergonomics.

Rp4p is the définition of uncomfortable, even with the grip its awful to hold for more than 2 minuts. I returned mine

I wanna get on so bad. Ps2 on the go sounds crazy

@@JBentham1523 maybe you have bigass hands because I have medium hands and it's super comfortable with the grip.

@@juniorelizondo4144 i dont u just know nothing about premium until you try something like the odin 2. Rp4p is trash. Its like playing on a toaster

Thanks, I appreciate it and I'm happy that this is helpful. The RG353P upgrade should be very similar to this one. Good luck and enjoy.

Yes true. The quality is quite similar but you are correct on the bezel sizes. I love that about the miyoo mini and plus.

Nuphy Air75, I added a link in the description.

@@muzzworks Thank you!

Thanks!

You are getting a better quality handheld with the SP, including an improved d-pad, buttons, Wi-Fi, and a more compact design. However, you are not gaining much more in terms of performance. I think it's worth it, but if you want the same performance as the SP with sticks, take a look at the RG35XX H.

I did record at 24fps for the first time. I usually recorded at 30fps. Crazy that you noticed the difference. I use every video to experiment and learn. One of these this time around was shooting at 4k/24. Good eye.

Thanks. MuOS is a great choice on the SP. Definitely one of the better CFWs. I am always reluctant to get the transparent models, but the blue would be the one I would go with as well if I did.

Thanks!

Thanks, much appreciated!

I am fairly certain that this only works on Windows PCs, at least the version I reviewed. If you are on a Mac, you will need something like Parallels Desktop to get it running.

Phillips.

Very underrated. There is something to be said about the best handheld device being the one you have with you, and since this one is always in my pocket, I have to agree. If I had to pick the most underrated device of 2024 so far, this one would be my top choice.

Yes, we love our retro gaming! 😀 🇨🇦

@@muzzworks We do. Ottawa is bloody chilly tonight lad. Any exist to stay indoors and game is fine by me. 👍😉

I like Mod3. Moving all data to the second card and the FTP server are great feature additions. I haven't tried the auto-update, but that's a nice addition as well. Definitely the way to go if you are a fan of stock.

Oh no! What happened! Did you check if you just didnt seat the connectors correctly? Are both not working?

@@muzzworks they're both in there for sure. I took it apart and put it together again multiple times. I installed JelOS and MinUi a couple of times and nothing. Yesterday I was able to get sound from the headphone jack though, but the music was incomplete. So I reset all the retroarch settings via the JelOS menu. It started to work normally afterwards, but now I need to put the speakers back in since I had removed them out of frustration lol. I should have time tomorrow to work on it to see if the retroarch reset did the trick somehow.
