Miyoo Mini Plus: Why do people still talk about this thing?

[@doh4828]

Because it’s cheap, it’s awesome, has a great screen, plays like a dream and fits in your pocket!

[@LeftyPem]

My 10year old nephew absolutely loves his. Probably spends more time with it than his Switch or any other game system.

[@NickBaysingar]

For $40 you really can't do better if you specifically want a miniature vertical form factor handheld. It hits basically every mark and it's supported by an excellent custom OS that makes it significantly better to use. I picked one up on a whim even though I had zero reason to own one and I immediately liked it. It's just neat.

[@Nexii801]

Rg35xx plus.

[@NickBaysingar]

@@Nexii801 Great device, but the MMP being a bit smaller hits a sweet spot on size for me and it doesn't have chonky bezels around the screen. It's a sleeker device in my opinion, even if the RG35xx Plus might be technically superior.

[@AlexT0210]

Ew no lol ​@@Nexii801

[@vhsretrogamer1664]

My main three devices are Miyoo Mini Plus, RG405v and SteamDeck. That said I play on Miyoo Mini 90% of the time. It's so good I had to get two backup units in case it breaks. I love it so much. And I don't think there will be a device like that any day soon or maybe at all

[@Kevin-Schmevin]

The d pad is dope, the screen is super, the price is perfect, and with onion it's unbeatable.

[@Nesdude42]

For me it has the perfect balance of size and power. I don't want a bigger device, and I don't enjoy playing console/PC games on a handheld for several reasons. I only want to play GBA/SNES era games on it (plus romhacks) and for that - it's great. Plus I love the look and feel of it, as well as the customization options.

[@Nesdude42]

It is like how some people say "My phone is better than yours because of X and Y." When there are pros and cons and the reality is that people have different needs and what works for you might not work for someone else.

[@Senorgrav]

The mini plus has a better d pad and buttons. The screen smacks everything in that price range and a bit farther. It really is a solid device that doesn’t feel cheap. The only negatives I have found is 1) The device is small. If you have bigger hands..this handheld is gonna get uncomfortable after a hour 2) the fast foward isn’t good. It’s slow and when your grinding levels in Pokemon it can just feel slow And that’s really about it.

[@Relt88]

You might get better fast forward speed if you try swapping to gpsp core. I’m assuming you’re on mgba.

[@nathanxbond]

You’re able to change the FF speed. You can make it really fast if you want to

[@Veddy74]

I bought my first device a year ago. I've bought, so, and sold loads since. I think the MM+, which I got a week ago, is amazing for having in your pocket

[@adammoutard8719]

I've always wanted to get a handheld emulator, but was so lost by how large the selection was.

[@FunkyHQYT]

Hey Adam! It's been a long time!! There are a TON of devices out there. I have a general idea of what I want from a handheld now. Even still, I get overwhelmed by all of the options out there. If I were to do it again with what I know now it would start with budget: how much to you really want to spend on something you may use a few times or maybe even a few times a week? And then what games do you want to play? I care more about Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games than I do anything else so I can get away with something less expensive. But some people may want something more powerful that can play Game Cube or PS2. If you can figure those two things out, that can really help you narrow down what's right for you. And if you just want something that can just do everything, get a Steam Deck. 😜 I'm kind of kidding, but I'm not. The OLED Steam Deck and even the LCD model are awesome for just about everything including PC gaming and emulation. It all kinda boils down to preference.

[@CyzerR001]

So basically Vertical/Horizontal handhelds like the Miyoo Mini+, RG35XX, RG35XXH, (35XX and 40xx devices have the same thing the only difference is the screen on the 40XX is bigger) can play only up to ps1 games full speed and psp games are playable while stuff like(These are mostly less than 100 preferably like 65 bucks) The RG406V, RG405V, RG405M can play upto like PSP full speed and SOME gamecube (like 185USD) The Premium stuff like the AYN Odin 2, Retroid Pocket 4 pro can play upto gamecube and ps2, The RP4Pro can play upto Gamecube and PS2 Playable and most at a 2x resolution (200USD)while the AYN Odin 2 (300USD) can play gamecube and ps2 upscaled and some light switch games HONORABLE MENTION: RP2S The Retroid Pocket 2s can play upto PSP games FULL SPEED for 99 dollars plus shipping but the screen is small, for reviews on all of these devices go to Tech Dweeb's channel or Retro Game Corps

[@jeff-n1j]

the quality of miyoo mini is good, you barely see people having problems with it. unlike anbernic and powkiddy.. i got 3 device that died even i take care of them..

[@Rabid_Wombat]

Miyoo mini is a banger when it comes to emulation...however a speaker upgrade is clutch!

[@tomislavtovarac4196]

Oredered one today on official Ali store. Like yours. After over a month of reserching of all devices under 100 e, conclusion was allways the same. Lacks little bit of power for majority ps1,n64 games but screw it. I' m owner of both consoles, and my tablet with emulator and Dualsense works like charm. Prepared new sd card and instaled Onion... 40 years old and pretty excited. 😊

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

My miyoo mini plus is still my favorite but I have to say, the 35xx is built at least twice as good as the mini plus. What ever plastic Miyoo uses just feel so cheap and flimsy. The 35xx feels like a proper handheld Nintendo would make. Their plastic feels amazing. I really wish Miyoo used better materials. Also the screen is so dim compared to almost any other handheld. I have to play at full screen brightness on the mini plus.

[@psvitaroundup6940]

When it feels right, it flies right. And the Mini is perfect in the hand and does pretty good emulation for most of my favorites from gaming history - what's not to like? ...

[@kyle88l]

In my opinion, with Onion OS, this is still the top choice. Cheap, plays everything up to PS1 flawlessly. Most other handhelds under 150$ can't reliably play anything past PS1 anyway, so why not make your experience of the consoles up to PS1 as nice as possible.

[@Diecast.51]

I clicked on this because I thought this was a new LGR video. You look a lot like Clint haha.

[@FunkyHQYT]

You're not the first person to say that!

[@Jk201]

Might as well. Heard the hurricane derailed LGRs life …. 😞

[@Diecast.51]

@@Jk201 Yeah, I feel terrible for him and the people affected in that area. He posted an update, tree split his house in half and water leaked into his basement storage.

[@FunkyHQYT]

:(

[@aarondavis9208]

Really well done video, thanks! Love the background music and your video essay was perfect!

[@FunkyHQYT]

Thanks for watching!!

[@papiloteBoy]

I'm impatiently waiting on my mini plus to arrive. I have a 128gb micro sdcard that im going to install Onion OS on.

[@stefssj1291]

Finally! This is exactly the video I needed to see

[@unlazinessboyo]

I use more with miyoo mini plus on the go

[@ideaynojodas]

Hello. If I install onion OS, can I look for games alphabetically or something? Rather than going down a list of more than 1000 games. 😢

[@FunkyHQYT]

There is a built-in search function!

[@adrian_veidt]

I still love using me Retroid pocket 3 plus. 👍👀👍

[@FunkyHQYT]

I may have a Retroid device on the way. 👀

[@adrian_veidt]

​@@FunkyHQYTThe miyoo is enough for me if you don't want higher consoles. In my case, I picked the rp3 plus for streaming, psp, some ps2, wii and gamecube. Also more available crt shaders on retroarch. I was supposed to get an odin 2 for switch. But Nintendo killed Yuzu. The RP mini and rp2s can be good choices. It's portable yet powerful enough.

[@neju4699]

Price + Onion Os...

[@thebackyardairgunner8776]

Number go up is good !

[@FunkyHQYT]

I like when number go up!

[@japyoo2248]

Wish it was just a little bigger.

[@FunkyHQYT]

I actually feel the same way. My hands are a little big for the MM+, but I like how portable it is.

[@chrisrcowley]

Is there a larger version of this at all?

[@FunkyHQYT]

Miyoo themselves doesn't make a larger handheld. If you're looking for something similar, take a look at some of the recent Anbernic devices. Those would be the closest thing to something like a larger Miyoo Mini Plus.

[@Coyote.five.0]

answering the question in your title : because is a good handheld, as well as the r36s if you want joysticks .

[@wills2652]

My 2devices are my switch and the miyoo mini plus!!!

[@pspsmallz]

Because it's still the best emulation handheld under 50 bucks with the best cfw, dpad and buttons.

[@Robodob0]

The only reason i still talk about it is about how i sold it. I had an Anbernic RG35XX H and Retroid Pocket 3+, as well as a switch abd a steam deck, the miyoo was just collecting dust. It was the only one that didnt serve a unique purpose out of my devices, other than being the only vertical one.

[@RetroLiveStreamStudio-nu2yf]

Sorry bro to be honest, better get the RG35XX SP. For the reason of speed, power, clam and more CFW khulli x64bit has portmaster. Get it and compare it with mm+, make a review you will change your thoughts about this

[@FunkyHQYT]

You don't need to apologize for having a preference.

[@TheHitmanSF]

We have the same mind. Having achievements makes it feels worthwhile.

[@FunkyHQYT]

I'm really glad to hear that there are other people like me 😅

[@kenshinbattousai374]

I really think we need another device in the Pixel space. It would be best if Miyoo made it, so we could have onion on it, but I really want it to be something with a slightly inset screen, and NO REAR MOUNTED TRIGGERS. MAKE IT FLAT. And please, for the love of God, why do we not have an RTC circuit? It is NOT that expensive, and a huge number of people would benefit from it.

[@Tchelo8736]

tenho 2 plus e 1 v4 😎

[@Nexii801]

People still talk about it becaise theyre into tiktok feeds and youtube shorts more than the actual hobby. And dont realize that the 35XX+ is superior in every single way.

[@vexorian]

The 35XX+ is superior in some ways but also inferior in two key ways. The buttons are still much better on the MMs. And muOS/knulli still aren't as good as OnionOS.

[@HideoV]

that feeling of "uhm I can't be bothered to do that thing I did as a child again" is good actually. don't numb it with achievements. find a new hobby, maybe one where you meet new people in person

[@FunkyHQYT]

Who hurt you?

[@HideoV]

​@@FunkyHQYT Who hurt you that you need validation from games ? No need to hit out at your viewers for posting comments.

[@iwack]

Not a bad past time, I'd imagine. Been looking into getting a retro handheld lately, I largely agree with you. But, it doesn't hurt to play 20-30 minutes here and there, on some downtime.

[@AdamBA380]

Uuuuhhh why did you even watch the video? Why are you here other than to neg this guy who put a lot of work into making a video? Unsolicited advice can be-and certainly is in this scenario-a form of aggression so maybe consider being nicer.

[@meatmommy]

Another great video!
