MagicX XU Mini M Retro Gaming Handheld Review - Short 'n' Sweet but not perfect

[@CrowScareify]

I love the look of this thing. I have been adoring my rg28xx and having something around that size with good sticks sounds wonderful. I saw that they will be fixing the firmware and releasing new colors next month so I’m really looking forward to that

[@Creative4Gaming]

Absolutely!! MagicX have definitely done enought to keep me interested

[@DrDanLawrence]

Interested in hearing more about the N64 performance. Seeing Goldeneye running on a device this size is pretty cool. Not sure of other RK3562 devices for comparison. Did you try any other N64 games like OoT?

[@CaptainEseesE]

The chips is actually an rk3326. Supposedly the company got scammed by the supplier.

[@sgan8729]

In SNES you had to test games with special chip, it has problems with them with the first SO version, I guess it will be optimized in the future

[@sgan8729]

DreamCast (more or less), Saturn, N64 and PSP are not performing well (you should have tested another game in PSP too)... I hope the optimize it in the future, because the RK3562 is a lot more powerfull than the RK3326 mounted on other machiens like the R35S/R36S, or the RK3326S (1.6Ghz) in the XU10. The RK3562 should be able to work even at 2.0Ghz (it's similar to the RK3566, which can work at 1.8Ghz, but it's newer... better in some things, but worse in others) ... but they cloked it to the range of 1.0Ghz~1.3Ghz with the first release of their Magic-X software (PlumOS, the new alternative software, seems to change it for the 400Mhz~1500Mhz range)... it would be nice to see how it works at 1.8Ghz (same speed than the RK3566). I really hope they improve it... because the XU10, with the 3.2 version of Magic-X, move very well a lot of PSP games (for an RK3326) with some minimal glitches as penalty (you can't archieve the same performance with any other S.O., configuring PPSSPP by yourself, I don't really know what they did with their system to reach that performance in that kind of machine), N64 performance is really good too, same as Saturn with some smalls problems here and there (with Yaba Sanshiro standalone), etc.

Really awesome comment and fantastic info, thank you!

[@erickschusterdeoliveira2662]

weird, I saw other people saying the build quality was quite good, it's possible that you got one of the first batches of the Mini M, I've seen them say that those came with a few issues

[@Creative4Gaming]

I'm hoping that's the case, as a lot of the fundamentals here are really good!

[@Curlyman172000]

I got this device played for a few and charged it and tried playing it again now it won’t load games anymore. Can someone help me?

[@lukesammut725]

Anyone had issues installing mame roms on this device?

[@SM-hn9hu]

Is there any way to get to RetroArch and use the Amiga cores?

[@Pridetoons]

Does this Handheld have L3 and R3?

[@vulfreyde]

Adding "personal" to "opinion" feels kinda redundant.

[@Creative4Gaming]

That is true!

[@vulfreyde]

@@Creative4Gaming Actually I thought about it and I take it back. Not every opinion is personal. There's also professional opinion.

[@nolosenidea8373]

this with $43.26 > all rg351, all rgxx

[@nolosenidea8373]

[@Creative4Gaming]

[@nolosenidea8373]
