Retromini Review - Not Quite Perfect

The form factor is nice and the shoulder buttons are relatively well-executed maybe we should try to get a Raspberry Pi zero in there.

[@floppydisk4500]

Diogenes crow oh hell yes! This needs to be a thing, contact ETAprime, he's great at that kind of shit.

Probably cheaper to just buy a psp for emulators. Neat little device tho

[@TheAngorix]

psp go

[@floppydisk4500]

I loved my psp 2000 until the day I killed it, I was using it as an MP3 player while moving and stacking in on our porch and slipped in some damp leafs landed on a rock that smashed my screen; then I got video out cable have yet to test it out tbh.

One of the biggest issue with all those bootleg Chinese consoles is lack of dedicated console menu button. (like this big "X" button on XBOX gamepad). They usually 'sacrifice' SELECT or START button, which makes actual SELECT/START button unavailable. Good luck playing many NES/GBA games without SELECT button.

[@Cyko..]

Do you know what you are talking about? Select and start work just fine in all the games. Apparently you're clueless.

[@nastykhan7746]

@@Cyko.. I assure you I know, what I'm talking about as I tested X6, X7, X9, X12, SUP 400-in-1 and abviously Miyoo Mini Plus. Lack of SELECT button is a real thing. For example, you're playing Robocop or Batman or something like that, where normally SELECT is used to change weapon. Which button are you going to use, when playing on a mobile? HINT: you can't use SELECT button, because that will bring up console menu.

[@Cyko..]

@@nastykhan7746 This is false. Pressing select on the Miyoo Mini functions as a normal select button. It does not bring up a console. You must be doing something wrong.On the device in the video, same thing. Select functions as normal. Start functions as normal.

[@nastykhan7746]

@@Cyko.. Yeah, I know. I mean in general. Cheaper consoles have this issue.

My gpd win, & xd are my go to for retro emulation on the go.

[@GeistInTheMachine]

Good taste.

[@nixnightbird138]

I love my GPD XD, but it's a tiny bit big for taking with me in my pockets everywhere. This thing is pocket-friendly.

[@mohitkundu7521]

So I just got mine in the mail today, and haven't been able to play any games. When I try to it just returns to the main menu. Has anyone else faced such an issue and if so is there a way to fix it?

[@nixnightbird138]

There are supposedly two versions. One has a Hynix chip visible under the battery pack, and the other has a Samsung chip. The Hynix has more lag issues than the Samsung. Currently, there's no way to know which one you'll get, as no sellers are separating the two and there's no identifying mark on the box to let you know one way or the other. It's luck of the draw, folks. And by the way, don't believe anyone saying they make this and sell it, and all others are knock-offs. That's probably just a drop-shipper trying to corner the market.

[@philipcross1586]

everything i buy from gearbest doesn`t work for me, and i can`t get the crap fixed either, so i cannot buy from them no matter what they sell or offer, i`m still waiting for them to sort out my 3d printer i brought from them, that isn`t getting fixed any time soon.

[@Wuerfel21]

Ayy, you got a prototype of the SouljaBoy NINE MONTHS early? Damn, you must have some connections. /s lol

[@TheMeravok]

Wonder if a firmware update would fix the emulation on this device?

[@aleksi1537]

Is there any firmware updates available?

[@yellowjacket1476]

Hey, how do the Kirby games play?

[@shahlegno5890]

I buy this at Aliexpress for 28 usd.

[@alessandrogribble9374]

the software looks like the dingoos software

[@nixnightbird138]

It's a good bet that Coolboy (the maker) simply recycled the old Dingoo guts, tweaked them, and slapped them into this shell.

[@TheAngorix]

like every youtube links dead :-(
