Keep in mind that if you get into this handheld emulator 'hobby', it is much like the audiophile and mechanical keyboard one where your wallet will be empty most of the time because a new shiny thing pops up constantly as you'll tell yourself that this time it will be your endgame for sure.

[@ekoms108]

I download the tiny best set of roms and the pico awesome set of roms, threw it on the Miyoo Mini, and never did anything else but play the games :) I guess I'm a rare one

[@TyGreenGoblin]

Yeah i'm with ekoms. i picked up two rg505's discounted at different times on temu. bought a used targus videolink for hdmi. I use the ps4 controllers from my ps4. its great. i spent under $220 and used what I have and couldn't be happier. if one breaks, i can use the other. if a button goes or a shoulder trigger, I will keep that one docked then. backed up my movie collection too so they also work like a glorified dvd player.

[@AZJayjohn]

That's why you get an ODE and original hardware lol

[@stnilus3294]

Buy once, cry once. I'm happy with my analogue pocket and steam deck. If you buy cheap devices, you'll just keep buying them because none of them are 100% perfect. They do make great gifts, though.

[@wafflicious359]

That is true, so I first got Retroid Pocket 2+ because I wasn't sure if I want to spend that much for something. then I ended up wishing it got more power so I gotten Odin Lite. then I wishing it is smaller for easier gameplay so I gotten Miyoo Mini Plus. then I hoping there is an ultimate big device for PC gaming and I gotten ROG Ally. and then now I am waiting for Odin2.

[@PhilUP]

Atomic purple shell? Yeah that's an instant buy for Spawn. 😂 Does look pretty good 👀

[@bop7901]

Love my Miyoo. It’s everything I wanted out of my GBA when I was a kid. I can ftp in from my computer (or phone!) and move roms, artwork, guides, etc. around easily, and it runs everything like a dream. Good battery life and decent ergonomics go a long way for this little handheld. Final Fantasy VI, Metroid Fusion, Minish Cap, F-Zero Climax… they all run amazing - and look even better. Highly recommended.

[@MegaFinalRound]

Ergonomics are better on the RG35XX

[@santopanda8784]

@@N0e503 with the v4.2, you can press it for at least 3 secs and it should go on "shuting down mode", meaning no light and it will save battery. Also when you turn it on, it will resume where you left off. If you just press the power button to shut off, it will drain the battery and also keep the light on.

That doesn't work@@santopanda8784, it's off while in "sleep mode" which btw it isn't really sleep mode.. it just turns off the screen. Battery still drains overnight if you leave it like that.

[@Maginist]

When I first picked mine up I'd been using it mostly as a Pokemon machine but I've found that this thing is absolutely killer for PSX shmups like R-Type Delta or G-Darius, and also a very comfy Sega CD device. Been playing a ton of Shining Force CD and Popful Mail on the Mini+ and it's been great.

[@Gallagher_b7]

I thought I'd be using it as a Pokemon machine but I been enjoying some good ol PS1 Gran Turismo

[@blairlohnes8103]

I picked one up 3 months ago, and now a few of my friends ended up grabbing one as well. It's a super solid handheld and easily fits in the pocket. I have a number of handhelds (RG405V, RG351M, GBC w/ Everdrive, SteamDeck, SF2000) and I always come back to the Miyoo mini plus. I've never tried the RG35XX, but it looks very similar to the Miyoo.

[@DDT997]

Picked up a Miyoo Mini+ a few weeks back. Well worth it for playing GB/GBA games. Probably couldn’t play it hours on end but picking it up to play a bit each night it’s been great. My top light only stays on for a couple minutes after I put it to sleep mode so I’ve not noticed it just staying on or causing any problems

[@TheBellyjeanable]

I’ve had mine for about 4 months now and the only real complaints I have are the led and the overall build quality but all to be expected with a budget device. Has ran any game I’ve thrown at it flawlessly and the screen looks amazing. Really helps to bring new life into some of the older gba games.

[@chiefnodnarb]

Great video. Surprised you didn't get this sooner. The MM+ and the RG405M have been my go to pocketable handhelds. Both are great systems and are well worth the money. I swapped out the stock speaker in the Plus for one out of an Xperia phone and it has made the sound so much cleaner and I can actually hear the bass.

[@notrybro]

any tutorial on switching the speaker? or is it as simple as plugging it in

[@chiefnodnarb]

@@notrybro it's as simple as removing the stock speaker and dropping in the new one. Just make sure the contact pins are in the correct orientation.

[@xbradx75]

I picked up an Anbernic RG35XX a while back when no one was sure when last years' round of Analogue Pocket preorders were going to ship. MM+ was sold out at the time and RG35XX was very similar specs and setup-wise, so went with that. These things are great for pick up and go gaming when you don't want bring out something more premium like the Pocket. And as mentioned in other comments, community firmware for these things (Onion OS for MM+ and Garlic OS for RG35XX) really open them up.

[@nwo_champion]

I think the rg35xx is the overall best handheld on the market. I love my Odin Pro and my Miyoo Mini Plus, but this handheld just has IT. They captured the Game Boy feel with it perfectly and somehow, other consoles feel right at home here. Sure, there are more powerful handhelds, but up to PS1 is literally a lifetime of gaming in itself. Also, while it may lkack the wifi, connecting to the TV is awesome. I play SNES games I grew up with on this handheld and it doesn't feel awkward. The screen is perfect.

[@kwok57]

I love mine, I think it’s the perfect size for playing on the go. It’s also really easy to mod, I swapped the speaker, and added custom shoulder buttons and a grip to make action/racing/fighting games easier. Onion OS and tiny set roms are a must have. I’d love to see what a 4-4.5” version would look like but I also would hate to give up the portability, so for the vertical format, I think they nailed it.

[@MegaFinalRound]

RG35XX is better.

@@MegaFinalRoundSpecs don't mean all that much. If you just want specs you can go get yourself a beefy Steam Deck instead. The most important part of these devices is providing a good expeirence playing the systems they're supposed to emulate. Specs are just part of the experience, overal shape, build quality, size, etc all contribute just as much.

Thank you for your upload in a great handheld review! Lunch, football, family, your video, and food on my Birthday Sunday! Happy Sunday Funday everyone!

[@Mindartcreativity]

Finally you jumped on the Miyoo Mini hype train haha It's really good for what it is and being able to pack all my childhood/teenager games into my pocket is just awesome, especially at that price point. Recently a DS emulator was released for the Miyoo Mini Plus and it runs Pokemon HeartGold decently well (with frameskipping activated). The consoles I mostly play are NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA and now DS. I don't need much more in my pocket. Edit: I'd also recommend to install custom firmware like OnionOS onto a new high-quality SD card ASAP and build your own game library from scratch. The stock ROMs are often not great quality and the stock SD cards are known to fail over time.

[@MegaFinalRound]

RG35XX is better.

[@ganjacats]

I’ve have had mine for a month. I primarily play GBA Pokemon games and Mario on the SNES. And let me tell you, if it’s your first emulation device, this thing is perfect. I’ve been kicking back playing Pokemon Emerald everyday after work and it makes me feel like a kid again. I’d just recommend buying your own SD card as the cheap Chinese one it comes with is known to fail after a while. But this thing is awesome, my son loves playing it too.

[@russ7625]

You know with onion os you can trade and battle people online or locally on different miyoo minis, my miyoo comes in Monday if you wanna play

[@dirtybrokkoli]

Hi quick question, since the miyoo mini plus doesn't have an Real time clock, does berry growing and other stuff work in Pokemon?

[@michaelpaulfx]

I’ve loved mine, picked it up a few months ago. Screen always impresses people first time they see it. Battery life is really good just left unplayed. I left it alone for a few weeks and it still had full battery

[@oldschool7522]

i think the anbernic rg35xx is a little better ergonomically and about the same size. Get either the myioo plus or the 35xx, they are both great.

[@1Pandemoonium]

I have the RG35XX and really like it, but this atomic purple Mini Plus is tempting me to waste more money 😅 The Wi-Fi and easily scraping art looks cool, and Onion OS is apparently better than Garlic - but I’d miss the RTC for Pokémon, and I hear the Anbernic feels slight better.

[@user-ec8zd8zp4x]

I have the miyoo mini - the real MINI one, without the plus - and it has been a joy to use and take with me as long as you don't have to use the shoulder buttons. Personally I remap the shoulder buttons for Gameboy Advance to the X & Y. That's way more comfortable. OnionOS is what makes these devices work so great. It's a must for fast pick-up-and-play gameplay, with a great sleep mode and save state management. Have played through Chrono Trigger on this device this summer while camping (and having quite a few days with absolute shite weather). Another absolute pro for me is the awesome D-Pad on the Miyoo Mini. It's really that good!

[@ahmadl3230]

ur point about what devices can run vs what they can actually play is spot on, thats why i decided the same to buy a mini+ as a first device and next 1 gonna be something thats really powerful

[@Muskarioli]

Got one of these a couple of weeks ago and took it on a 3 day trip with friends to the beach. Not only did it help with disconnecting from our phones but it was also swapping hands every few minutes cus everyone was dying to play a few gba classics from when we were in school. I carry it on my pocket for when im waiting on a line and every time ive been asked where i got that game boy from.

[@aoshi900]

I had a Miyoo Mini for 2 months, I had to sell it because I found a good deal for a Retroid Pocket 3+ and I needed the money to go towards it. But for what it's worth, the Miyoo Mini is a must buy if you want to go thru the RPGs of the PS1/GBA/SNES/Genesis era. My Miyoo Mini was basically a Super Robot Wars Machine.

[@williammoore1030]

Got the RG35XX at the end of last year and have enjoyed it as much as can be expected when you have every game at your fingertips from your childhood. Which for me is very infrequently for some reason they just don’t have the kind of value I would expect them too. If I had one in 1999 I would have been all over it but now I just mostly play 360/ps3 generation and forward.

[@Patrick-bn5rp]

Depends on the games you're playing, tbh.

It lacks the WiFi of the Mini+ tho. Both great devices!

[@johnodaz1273]

Good TechWave Jon(SW). Looks like a really neat Cheap little Retro Device.

[@davidrin3566]

I got the black model shipped to me close after launch. Russ from Retro Game Corps helped me pull the trigger on one after his review. When I got it, the screen was damaged so thank God I used Amazon to purchase it since the return was Hassel free. Once I got my replacement, I upgraded it to Onion OS. I use my Miyoo Mini at least once a day because it helps me keep my retro collection at my fingertips and the size and form factor are perfect for the systems it emulates. Personally, I have found that the screen best fits Sega Genesis games. Just fire up Sonic really quick and you will instantly notice how good the aspect ratio and brightness lends itself to these games. It's also great for playing Japanese games with English patches on them. For example, I can play a difficult game to emulate like Tengai Makyou Zero on the Super Famicom using the SNES 9x Core through RetroArch. Another nice feature it has is it's overlays, especially for GB, GBC and GBA. The form factor lends itself quite well to these games and the overlays make it look like there is a Game Boy screen lens on the screen. If anyone gets the Miyoo Mini, get a bundle with a case and screen protector. It is a bit delicate but it will serve you well as long as you take care of it. Overall, I'm happy with it and it was worth every penny!

[@norezplaysgames]

I've inadvertently started my collection retro emulation handhelds. lol I now have a MM+, RG353VS, RG35XX, and RG405V. So far I really like the 405V for its big screen and hand comfort. I'm going to try hooking up wifi on the 35XX for one-handed play of rpg's. The MM+ is nice, and I'm going to keep it for now, but it's not my current preference.

[@ProjectArin]

I love these things. I love this device I grabbed. My First was the Miyoo Mini, which was amazing and my first Emu Handheld, but it was so small. Around that time I grabbed a Retroid Pocket 3+ which has been wonderful as well. But I had to go in and decide between the Miyo Mini Plus or a RG35xx, which I ended up going for the RG35xx, and this thing has been my favorite. The devices are so nice, and I think they are wonderful nostalgic pieces too. To play these again in a actual Game Boy Like Format.

[@evilsaddist666]

I bought the Anbernic RG35XX 128gb for my husband and its incredible, he is very happy. Cost me $138aud inc delivery from light in the box. Only drawback is sore fingers from controls but hey who didn’t get that playing Wonder Boy or Golden Axe back in the day? Love reliving my childhood!

[@Agumon5]

It's a good system if you get one free of defects. Unfortunately it's very much luck of the draw. I ended up picking up two of these and both had some issues. The first one I picked up from the official store has a speaker with above average distortion at medium - high volumes. The second one from an Amazon seller for about $10 more than official store had a bad D pad. Got an exchange for that one because of Amazon's return policy and the exchange unit had a loose screen (as you pointed out, adhesive tape isn't very sturdy). Ended up returning the exchanged item and got my money. I went ahead and got a Anbernic RG35XX and has been fantastic without any issues for months now. At this point I strongly prefer it over my Mini plus.

[@JMizznb]

I've had the exact same issues with my miyoo mini plus. Rg35xx > a much better and solidly built device.

[@mimivrc4148]

surprised to hear you say the plastic feels cheap. when I got mine I just remember how high quality it felt over all, plastic felt great to me!

[@jochie18]

Been having fun with my Miyoo mini+ for a couple of weeks now. On the SD card in the Retroarch folder: create a cpuclock.txt file, inside you write the speed of the cpu. Example: 1400 (default cpu of the Miyoo mini/ mini+ is 1200). Heavier games run a bit better and the fast forward in many games will be faster, as this makes the CPU run at full speed.

[@BrokeDad1]

This reminded me I have an old handheld emulator called a Wiz (I think that's it) tucked away I used a long time back. I wonder if it will still charge up after all this time. It's probably only something that would appeal to a collector of handhelds anymore.

[@ashtroidz]

I had one of those too!

[@Jerito07]

I have an MM, MM+, RG35XX, and a Pocket 3+. The MMs are put away as collectors, and the 35XX is gonna be my daily driver. The Pocket 3+ is for special occasions lol

[@PixelShade]

Correction, literally EVERY PS1 games had a "d-pad first", with analogue sticks being an option in later games.Dual analogue sticks wasn't the norm for the PS1 as the console was released without such a controller, it wasn't until years later it became an "accessory" rather than a requirement in games. Even late games like Vagrant Story, Breath of Fire IV, Wipeout 3, Final Fantasy IX, Gran Turismo 2 all have a d-pad fallback. The only game I know of that actually require dual sticks was Ape Escape. The lack of analogue sticks being an issue is completely made up. During that era I owned the OG release PS1 with the OG gamepad, and I used it until the end of the Playstation generation and had no problem with late generation games. Because PS1 software was developed for the original controller, not the dual shock.

[@youraveragedillon5958]

[@pailvengence3]

I MM+ is great for anyone who has time for short bursts of gameplay. I have found that I usually do not and that I'm not a huge fan of small screens. I also wish it was horizontal instead of vertical personally but I choose to get it because it was so great a deal and so portable. Anyone who knows the limitations going in should be in for quite a great deal though. Amazing what we can get nowadays for handhelds. These also have a decently big mods community for buttons, stickers, cases, shells, etc. It's great that the community liked it so much that it became popular enough for long enough to have support

[@WhiteInk47]

I'm almost sure that it will. I bought a retroid pocket flip for my son this year. it plays a lot of gamecube titles surprisingly well already. very minimal slow down in my opinion. very playable. with time I'll bet it's gonna be smooth. but as far as vertical format. this one here is pretty appealing. no gamecube though

I got it when it first came out (around the beginning of this year I think), still picking it up and playing it to this day. Not as much as the Retroid though, that gets picked up the most. Honestly I like when I have a reason to pick the Miyoo up more, but the reality is the Retroid is just on and ready to go because it’s android. Plus I don’t really play platform heavy games on the Miyoo, so my wonder boy in monster world play through, ended up on the Retroid. Highly suggest for the Miyoo is looking into Pico 8 and RPG maker games, it’s a great system to enjoy your library of newer retro inspired games. Rogue likes and RPGs are just so much easier to enjoy on this system.

I kinda want an Anbernic or the Miyoo as well, but I already have a Steam Deck, Analogue Pocket, Retroid Flip, and Odroid Go Advance. Not including I kept all my original handhelds 😅 its addicting to collect these things

It looks great, I would have preferred if the battery was more like an older cell phone battery though. With contacts. Or even using older off the shelf batteries with those metal contacts. The reason being, i'd like to be able to swap in new batteries and even have an external charger. So for example if i wanted to take this on a flight, and i'm playing just PS1 games, the high power consumption games, i want to be able to do a quick state save, and swap out the battery, start it back up and keep playing.

My favorite emulation pickup of the year!! Hands down.

i went through all the hoops to mod my original GBA. but this is so much better. the retroachievements, and potential online play is just fantastic. most of all ? i love the dpad. Its the only device that i love to play GBA games, i was using 3ds XL before, but this is better

[@MilkieBeargames]

Seems similar to the Anbernic? So far it's been great and has HDMI output. I was able to load up a few of my old PS1 games, not sure how much of collection will fit on it. But some of my discs are pretty beat up, and do not always read well. So this a better way to play them.

Just last night I put Onion on my plus. I love my miyoo mini so much I bought the plus but I havent used it because i like onion so much. I finally got it on there and it was simple.

[@retrogamerdad7740]

Great system. I have my moded PS Vita 2000 . Makes a great gift though.

[@Baoran]

Any good portable systems for psx and ps2 games that would have good screen, battery and analog sticks?

[@JasperTW-NL]

Got one beginning of summer Its great for GBA runs great using the GPSP core witch enables fastforward. Played a lot of pokemon romhacks on it. Batterylife is around 6 hours for me with brightness on 5/10. The buttons feel pretty good although i had some issues with the B button sticking (had some manufacturing issue luckily an easy fix)

I picked up v2 of the miyoo mini when it was available. I recently bought the 35xx as it was on offer. I have played it and everything was fine but now it won’t charge up. I charged the device once before and everything was ok. Has anyone experienced this? It definitely isn’t the cable as the same cable will charge the miyoo. The charging light doesn’t show up when connected so I wonder if there is a faulty wire somewhere?

[@MrCrono2]

I absolutely love my Miyoo Mini!

[@fightrudyfight5799]

I want to be able to play Thousand Arms. Which emulation handheld would be best for older PS1 roms?

[@burnzy3210]

The Anbernic RG35XX is very similar but cheaper and has slightly better performance.

[@mesamunefire1]

It also works with pico8 games. Its pretty easy to setup.

[@igano111]

Haven't played on an emulator lately. How's the input lag? I remember playing some NES games on retroarch a few years back and I could definitely tell the difference in responsiveness compared to the real thing.

[@moronicron]

The input lag is pretty non existent.
