The original 2.8" Miyoo Mini is the smallest I can possibly handle. 40+ eyes and large hands say no-no to the Nano!

Overall I'd have to agree, it still feels like a great experience on 2.8 but lower takes away from the experience.

Emulated Game Gear is a different experience to playing on the actual console. On the real console the screen couldn't keep up with the scrolling on games like sonic and became a bit of a blurry mess, fast moving enemies in games would also blur, some games would look washed out as the screen wasn't that good a quality. You get none of those issues when emulating. Still loved my Game Gear though.
@Funem6 ай бұрын
Oh,, if you have never played it, try Golden Sun, that plays well on small screens and is a great game.
@_Majoras6 ай бұрын
what about with the modern game gear lcd screen replacements? pretty sure this corrected the scrolling/blurryiness issues
@Funem6 ай бұрын
@@_Majoras It does, that what I said in my comment. If you wanted the real Gamegear experience, you would have to use a device with a low quaity screen, emulating, like in this video, makes the games look better than they actually were on the real console, so its not like playing on a real GameGear. When emulating some other consoles, like the GameBoy, some emulators can make the screen blur like the real one did.

There are lot of shaders/filters in retroarch to emulate the lcd bluriness/old lcd screen lags.

@@ChronikSpartan it's currently my bed time game on my Anbernic, I've not played it before, it's very good! Definitely up there with Chrono Trigger. Great video anyway mate, tempted me to get one of these 😂... Though I can't imagine myself doing a 30 day challenge. That is impressive!

I love these 30 day challenges! I prefer to do this with my handhelds too because using them one at a time helps me appreciate them more fully and brings me back to when I was a kid and only had one handheld. Thank you for sharing!

Agreed, I found this channel because of the 30 day challenges. I'd love to see so many more of these for each gaming platform - maybe you could do shorter challenges like a week or 14 days to make it easier to produce! Regardless, awesome stuff.

I hear the complaint "there's just too many games to play" about these types of devices that I do wonder why people put so many games onto them. Choose one or two for each system, your absolute favourites, you don't need to put put full libraries onto them.
@Patrick-bn5rp5 ай бұрын
So personally, what I do, is load up a big ol library, and then limit myself to playing one game from each genre, but not more than 5 at once. And of course I use a favorites playlist, when given the opportunity.

I have an rg35xx h and wonder why you'd want to go any smaller? It can fit easily in my pocket. Isnt there a point of diminishing returns on being portable? Yet you give up so much in other key areas?
@ChronikSpartan3 ай бұрын
I honestly thought the same thing. But the 28XX brings something that's hard to describe. It's just so charming! Do you need one if you have a 35XX, definitely not, but if you have no XX device, it's absolutely worth considering.

the issue with the game gear was not the games but the battery life... you would spend more money on battery than on games, especially if you were an kid with an small alowance instead of an adult with a full salary

My child would also get a retro console instead of a cell phone. The game quality is simply unattainable, especially compared to modern mobile games, where the only purpose is to put more money into the game and the only feelings of happiness come because it triggers the brain, like a casino game.

Its probably the best and easiest way to do pokemon games on the go which should of been the first games you tried tbh. Also i wouldnt say just bc it has ps1 games u needed to play them that much. As for the games it comes with that happens with every anbernic handheld ive bought. Ive used it wveryday since i got it for gaming here and there when i have downtime qnd it hqs worked perfectly for it. I also would say to get a 3rd party software which fixes a bunch of problems like no favorites. Also i added a different sd card which is also a very common and known problem with anbernic then i only added a handful of games do it wasnt full of games i would never play
@ChronikSpartan3 ай бұрын
Pokemon definitely would have mode it easier, but tbh I try to avoid such addictive games for these challenges as it is too easy to just play those over the 30 days. You're right about just because PS1 is available doesn't mean it needs to be played, I find a lot of emulation handhelds push too far with the emulators they provide, when they should just stick to what they're good at. Great idea on refining the game selection too, I think it's essential to be able to truly enjoy gaming on systems like these.
