Best Handhelds for Travelling

[@DeathJerrie]

The crab break was very much appreciated.

[@sarahdaviscc]

I definitely enjoyed it.

[@MichaelBecx]

Please make more videos like this! I love all your vids but these ones stand out 😊

[@P4MI]

Yes with crab breaks

[@MyAmazingUsername]

You want him to suffer even more sunlight?! Doth thou want the Dweeb to perish?!! 😮

[@Catprize59487]

I have quickly come to absolutely love this channel and the videos made. It’s incredibly refreshing and relaxing to watch and listen to all the stories told aboot all the litnxt devices and what we can do with them.

[@VladlustTV]

I loved the vibe and theme of this video, great stuff as always TD! Also the crab break was a roller-coaster of emotions lol

[@-Airwalk1616-]

WE GOT TO SEE TECH DWEEBS FORE ARMS!!! OOOOHHHH MMMMMYYYYY GOODNEEEEESSSSS!!! What a delightful little treat this video was!!! Did you go to CES?!?!

[@faisalmuhammad6908]

0:02 there's your answer

[@Bibvock]

Stay tuned. Next show, he's going to show his ankles.

[@raniel0511]

You can see the back of his head in one of the old milestone videos, his dropped his pen and picked it up.

[@Aaron-ge7ho]

It was almost an adult content...

[@CheapOneLiners]

I only counted two.

[@ushilives3]

Found it interesting you included other items for traveling, enjoyed it 💪

[@vhsretrogamer1664]

The best thing about miyoo mini is not just the size, but also how silent the buttons are, especially compared to newer handhelds. The sp may be the best in terms of how secure the screen and buttons are, but boy the buttons get annoyingly loud, especially when playing fighting games

[@SahabatGamer-r7f]

Yes, this is why i like my Miyoo Mini more to play at night

[@gamesbymanuel]

This is a big reason why I went with the RG353PS. Ergonomic layout, silent buttons.

[@vhsretrogamer1664]

@@gamesbymanuel yeah, I got rg353p (not ps) right when it was available. Very nice ergonomics, silent buttons and shoulders. But no matter what os to use, the initial booting time is extremely long (sometimes over a minute on Jelos). Once it's loaded though, I can play for hours on it without any issues. One of my favourites still

[@gamesbymanuel]

@@vhsretrogamer1664 Over a minute to boot? That sounds very frustrating. I use ArkOS on my RG353PS and if I had to guess I'd say the boot takes about 10 seconds.

[@vhsretrogamer1664]

@ yeah I sadly can't install arkos on 353p, it is only available on ps, m and v versions. The only option for 353p is Jelos. Also ArkOS on 353m is in my experience pretty unstable for some reason, so I have Jelos there too. But yeah, on 353p Jelos takes up to 1 minute and around 15 seconds on top of that

[@pablitomm]

link to the anti glare screen protector?

[@poopikins]

Would also like to know

[@Junier-Hussein]

Couldn't agree more with the Miyoo Mini ♥️ Great video as ever Dweeb

[@qhodave]

The dark cube is back.. Or hadn't been gone but glad to see my friend again.

[@chimrichalds81]

Your humor is top-notch good sir. It took a while for me to stop thinking about the blood bowl in your basement😂

[@MyAmazingUsername]

That bowl and the shirt makes sense now. He is a fan of Jhonny the Homicidal Maniac. Great great great comic. ❤

[@chimrichalds81]

@MyAmazingUsername I'm gonna check that guy out!

[@MyAmazingUsername]

@@chimrichalds81 It's by Jhonen Vasquez who also made Invader Zim (clearly also his humor). It's very ... unique. 😂 Oh and Zim is amazing too.

[@chimrichalds81]

@@MyAmazingUsername that's cool. Didn't know he made Invader Zim!

[@annhilater1985]

On a hiking trip currently, also only took 1 bag and 3 handhelds, pocket 4 pro, flip zizzle and a30, learned from the best enjoy your videos man keep em comin

[@itsTronBonne]

6:23 Editing skills are getting so good! I was almost fooled into thinking another human was holding the camera o.o

[@SirMeister-d2m]

No way we see TechDweebs toes before his face lol

[@MyAmazingUsername]

Feeeeeeeeeeet!!! 🥵

[@ryanbartlett672]

Great content. Thank you. Excellent writing and performance as usual. Your LPM (laughs per minute) rating has always been one of the highest all time. :-)

[@sarahdaviscc]

Love the TechDweeb portrait in the sand whilst the patron credits rolled.

[@hardboiled7774]

Final Fantasy Legend was my first GB game. Amazing footage btw!

[@staticshocker69]

Dweeb I'm your biggest fan.

[@Kentman513]

Best crab break in a decade.

[@parismg4076]

This is the second time I've seen the stairs in your house and wow, they look great with those wooden corners.

[@canalnintendid]

I went for a trip on the Christmas and New Year and I took my Retroid Pocket 2S with me. It was my second best friend on those days, I love that thing so much...

[@NatsuMatto]

Sounds like an awesome trip, @TechDweeb... glad you got lured out of the cave. As an owner of a Nintendo Switch, a Zazbizzle, and a Squazizzle, I've definitely gone back to the idea that the Zazbizzle is by far the superior "travel device" for me. I also go carryon only, although more often than not end up going "personal item only" when I travel. The Zazbiz is (IMHO) the perfect size and shape for tucking into a tiny bag situation. I've also been toying with the ide of just bringing a tiny gamepad for playing Retroarch on my iPad, or my BackBone controller (which has a case as big if not bigger than the actual retro consoles themselves that it doesn't really end up saving any space) to use my phone. Time will tell if I give these other two options a try in the future. Lastly, it never ceases to bug me how I own dozens of carts for the Switch (as well as plenty of eShop downloads and the NSO retro collections) and yet NEVER take my Switch with me when I travel. It's just too damn big.

[@tromp2000]

Great video as always! Got a trip coming and this helped figure out what to pack. Thanks!

[@penroseinspace]

Love you Dweeb, keep being you

[@CellPhish]

I'm just getting back from the Dominican Republic so I can totally relate to this video. I brought my TrimUI Brick, Odin2 Mini Pro and Steam Deck. Mostly used my Brick but pulled out the Odin and Steam Deck while traveling and nights in the hotel room when everyone went to bed

[@yochrisnelson]

Absolutely loved this 🧡 Cheers from many centimeters away

[@Bits-n-Bytes1409]

It seems you had a awesome vacation, nice 😎👍. You deserved this free time after force feeding us all those amazing vids last year 😁

[@hetoriaansverbond5944]

Animal Valley and Pirates Gold - two games I will check out. Great video!

[@themidwestwhale]

I have been playing a ton of Super Mario Strikers on my Flipdizzle. Thats been my biggest use for the Flip goodness!

[@dwaipayankar1113]

Hey I just wanted to ask, isn't super mario strikers a gamecube game? How is it running on your flipzizzle?

[@grantquiller4952]

This was a great video w/ some great traveling tips. Please do more like this…

[@guilhermerovida5488]

This video came in the perfect timing! I live in U.S, but I'm going to visit my country, Brazil, at the end of this month.

[@mattb6522]

Good advice! If I am traveling during a holiday break, I usually just kind of focus on a system or certain game(s) I want to play and go from there. Even back when I was a kid, I still have fond memories of visiting cousins and hanging out with them playing GameBoy and NES. Also, traveling to Europe with family as a kid with a Game Gear on the plane trying to collect all the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic 1 and reaching Wily's Fortress in Mega Man. Gaming memories certainly stick with you over the years (especially childhood ones).😄

[@A6by]

I've found recently that my best travel companion is the Playdate - it's asburdly small, its hyperlegible monochrome screen is great for playing in the sun or a light-polluted train car, and since it's a device for novel and unusual indie games, I can always have a couple blind unplayed titles in my backlog, waiting to open them up like gifts when I need them.

[@codysluis7521]

I just got back from a week in key west and I brought my mini plus, lots of gran turismo 2 at airports, you don't want to race my station wagon 😎

[@acekc83]

I bought a MM and started modding it like crazy for myself. Since this is like my main device, I opted to pay for a metal case for it as I felt the stock case wasn't very durable. With the metal case, better buttons, and upgraded speaker, I feel like the MM is like the best pocket device.

[@slushbubs]

3:02 Lowe Alpine made a lot of really sick military rucksacks. I have a Dutch one that could hold like 500 amberlic devices.

[@nekokna]

As an hermit it makes me happy the miyoo mini is your selected one as well❤

[@76williamsbh]

We don’t travel a whole lot, but we do take a couple of work trips a year to a conference at the beach. I always say I will pack minimally and never do. I am getting better with clothes, but unfortunately, I have to take work outfits and play outfits. I also way over pack on tech. I usually bring my MacBook, at least one iPad, and I am bad about bringing a steam deck and my Nintendo switch. By the end of the trip, I have barely used any of it. I might have gotten the MacBook out once or twice. Sometimes I have never played the game handhelds at all. The iPad seems to get all the use. We have another one coming up next month and I think it is just going to be the iPad mini, the game, Sir Galileo, G8, controller, and a mini keyboard. I really want that to be all I need for a weeks travel. However, after watching your New Year’s video, I am doing my best to get in at least 30 minutes of forced gaming every day. So I will either take the steam deck or the Nintendo switch for gaming. And I have to use them because I made that resolution right?

[@tonimathias-grumley6631]

I agree TechDweeb! The miyoomini is the bomb! I love mine like nothing else, have the same one you have. I have 2 Flipzizzles, 1 MiyooMini Plus and an A30. But I always gravitate to my Mini. Im playing Zelda Link to the Past on it now, its the best!

[@fg63-6]

I brought my RG35XXH on my honeymoon with the same philosophy of making memories. Maybe it's nerdy, but Megaman Battle Network will always be extra special to me now because I finished it on the plane home.

[@stanloona000]

5:47 interesting, I thought you would have a foldable phone for some reason

[@davesams8020]

Thanks for showing 64th St on the flipzizzle while explaining why you didn't use it on this trip. That game is amazing! I hope you did play it on one of the ones you did play. I'd totally be playing it in between crab breaks.

[@SicketMog]

You need to make more in-depth setup tutorials please. All of these look so cleanly set up.

[@DragonBoi3789]

When it comes to my toiletries bag, I like to call it my 'spit kit' since its mostly for holding my toothbrush and paste.

[@Jaystyling]

Im going on hoilday soon this helped me very much Now i have something to do on my 9 hour flight😂😂😂

[@clearfocusfilm]

How in the world do you pump these out so quickly with such good quality! I can't even make one every month it seems 😂

[@GiSWiG]

That crab would have a small problem walking through the 4in of snow we got overnight in central New York! But... I love snow... and I love crab... and Snow Crab is pretty tasty... Enjoy the beach!

[@ElGranMoco-XB]

It’s taken me nearly 20 years to get my family to travel like you. Well almost. I have some work to do. I’ll show them this video to show them I’m not the only one.

[@SneezyPond]

That crab got wrecked 😂 8:25

[@carwynvan]

What games did you play on your trip? 😁 Some of the videos of your screen looked interesting but I didn't catch all the games you said?

[@xxpathfinderxx]

I want to know as well. Especially that game boy game looked fun.

[@colinmartin9797]

I just had a medical school interview yesterday. I can't wait to get accepted somewhere so I can finally take a real vacation like that. I haven't had a proper vacation in... 20 years.

[@jjh5374]

The sad mall… hahaha. Tech Dweeb is hilarious

[@jasonlanglois7906]

“Centimetres, we use that instead of gallons”. Thanks I spit out my coffee

[@demonprincess5634]

That why I love you TechDweeb I relate to not wanting to leave to the outside, I mean eeewww. Why would you want to leave your happy place that you work so hard to put together. If you walk into my very small place you would think it was 90's lol. But I too have to leave my place about 3 or 4 times a month. But I make sure I got all my retro things. Like my rg35xx+ and my ipod from 2003

[@digitizer3627]

Awesome choices and video❤. I recently travelled long haul and only took my trusty R36S and it was the best companion for me especially with Mash Tec custom ArkOS build. It was pocket friendly and played everything upto N64 and Dreamcast❤ so I was digitizing like crazy😂. The only drawback is it doesnt have hdmi out but my next trip will be with the RG40XXV which does. Can't wait❤

[@goku0910]

will the flipzizzle be dethroned by the Miyoo Flip... ?

[@mallmann72]

I just had a very similar experience, but it was with the Trimui Smart Pro, finishing Mother 3. Yeah, I can definitely say it adds to the trip experience, as a kind of special flavor. I think it was to me a way of reviving something similar where I had a trip to the same beach and was playing Earthound on my good old PSP some years ago.

[@ReavoEnd]

The DMG aesthetic is strong with this one~

[@Servbot31]

High chances that your vacation place is close to where I live. Useless trivia but it felt somehow good to think that I'm closer to a content creator I enjoy watching on Ytube from time to time on this huge ball we call the Earth. ^^

[@yeetsteryeet1649]

Great vid, appreciate you sharing a bit more of your personal life.

[@DanielNewm]

Loved it! Very helpful thoughts.

[@tabernadarob]

Loved this vídeo! (I’m a retro gamer living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

[@edtuckerartist]

The best handheld doodad to bring on a trip is the best or most used handheld you have. I went away for the Christmas holidays, took three devices with me but ended up only using one - my Trimui Smart Pro.

[@scottannunziata8265]

Crab break rocked!

[@DNAMobileGaming]

🤣 bringing it to the beach in the winter, classic 😂

[@Kabboowee]

5:27 Does Techdweeb review keyboards? Also I really loved this video omg🤭

[@Wonkabarn]

Yeah this one stands out because it feels more of a vlog of actual nature. I think you should make a camping trip

[@hatherlow]

Recently, I had a weeks hols in the sun, took Steamdeck and Flipzizzle. Steamdeck didnt get much action. The FZ however was great ,airport, plane, sunlounger just easy ,pocketable and ready to please.

[@shylocutus]

miyoo mini over the brick?

[@hiddengunz]

On The Last trip, I took only a Miyoo Mini Plus and I played it only on flights

[@joeblow229]

This was an interesting take, and it made for some content, but I stopped bringing handhelds with me on vacations. Unless I'm going to be somewhere for a few weeks, I find that I never really play the handhelds I bring. I'm too busy experiencing the things I can't do in my room. I love traveling though, and have been bummed about not being able to afford international travel for the last few years.

[@ontil68]

Goodness did that opening hit close to my old hobbit heart. My friends don’t get that home is my happy place! lol. I’d love to see some of your decks and to know what achitype you rock.

[@jsle5376]

I wanted the crab break to last a little longer, thats my feedback

[@TechDweeb]

[@dewjo]

Anyone know the one game being played at 9:56 10:21 and 14:00 ?

[@SirSighsAlotAlot]

Yeah I’m wanting to know too

[@SirSighsAlotAlot]

Just scoured the comments some more and it seems it might be Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

[@mrplaomeow768]

Yeah it’s always tempting to bring and use only one charger and charging cable but fast chargers will cause puffy batteries on lower powered hand holds so definitely bring the usb c cables that came with your device.

[@Rulyo38]

The Miyoo Mini screen is faaar better than the Anbernic new GBA one

Is there a way to play Amiga games on the Miyoo Mini, BTW? On mine they lag terribly. I was wondering if there was a setting or alternative core that works.
