@livinlicious
@livinlicious Ай бұрын
CFW cant fix poor quality control, which is sadly a thing with Miyoo. All my Miyoo have had either come with issues, or developed issues over time. (Miyoo Mini delaminated screen corner after a few months corn, A30 wobbly not fitting shoulder buttons and horrible thumb stick) Wouldnt buy Miyoo if you actually wanna play it. If its just for a kid, sure get the cheapest offer possible, the A30 with Minui for 25bucks will probably be fine.

I get that. I feel the same why about the Anbernic Nano. People dumped on that too, but in all fairness, that thing is always on me in a pinch because it's so small, it's hard _not_ to leave it on my keyrings or upper breast pocket. It's always there when I need it for a quick jam. The squinty buttons and screen don't really matter when I'm only playing it for ten minutes here and there anyway.

Same. I got this right when it came out and then got really sad from all the hate it got. It's just the most appealing handheld in its price range right now, plus it looks way better than the others. Don't get me wrong, if someone gifted me an Odin 2 or a Steam deck or ROG Ally, I'd use them, but I'd still use my A30. Russ is right. They're different use cases. Some handhelds have major power behind them, but are we really putting them in our pockets and leaving the house with them? I don't even really take my switch/Vita/PSP/3ds out of the house anymore unless I'm going to work and then I have one in my work bag. Never just in my pocket or something like that. But this? This I can just have with me. Plus, at the price point if it gets broken I can just replace it. The SD card costs me more than the system itself.

same with the SF2000 Datafrog! I now have the Frog, the 28XX and the A30, the last 2 because of the 11-11 sales! I was going to ignore the A30 because of the publicised shortcomings but i did like the aesthetics and the colours offered for the 28XX more than the ones offered for the A30... i only really gravitated towards the all black A30, which I have on the way.... Glad to know the communities are improving the UX of these devices! I have heard people trying to get PSP working on these tiny devices which personally not for me... these devices are already cramped and i have a grip with my 28XX which i hope works with the A30.... But yeah good to know Frog is now capable of crazy stuff like og Doom at stupid fps! the Frog is still the most underrated out of all the devices here even though $10 - $13 with 2 controllers!! The A30 is actually exactly the same in layout to the Frog but im assuming is the more performant as well as having a comparably bigger name... Now along with my huge backlog of games that goes back generations I now have a backlog of handhelds as well to tinker and play with FFS!!!!!

I just picked up an A30 completely on a whim after seeing it for under £20, knowing nothing about what custom firmware was out there for it. I found out about Spruce and how it just received its biggest update yet so that was it, and it's made me fall in love with this little handheld. It was simple to set up, scraping box art couldn't be any easier, comfortable for such a small device; the A30 now lives in my pocket and I play on it more than anything else.

Great video as always, Russ. Despite how it looks, and how the CFW updates have made the device more desirable, i went with the RG28XX still. The heat issues, and the weaker chip set is what sold me on getting the RG28XX over the A30, and im having a blast with it playing Fire Emblem Roms (but also knowing that i could just transition into Dreamcast games and not run into too many problems.)

I'm glad Retro Game Corps went back to this handheld. I've bought 4 already (First one cracked screen I recommend a hard case for yours if you plan on traveling with it in your pocket, the screen is quite fragile even with a screen protector). But man do I love the L and R buttons and how good it runs with GBA, it feels like the perfect GB Micro. I use MinUI on mine (its a bit faster than spruce because it has a hack that removes loading and its instant shutdown and autosave/auto resume feature.) Runs Symphony of the Night so well, Runs NeoGeo Metal Slug games, it's the perfect mini handheld and I've owned a few. 2.8 inches is a good size for on the go, its big enough for reading text games, and small enough for gb/a gaming.

One drawback with the A30 is that the screen can burn out rather quickly. I gave a Miyoo A30 to my nephew for his birthday, and he enjoyed it for 3 months, until the screen on his device burned out. I tried to find a site that sold replacement screens, but to no avail. I gave him my spare R36S, rather than take the risk of another A30 burning out on him. The R36S has been working great for his purposes, especially playing Mario Kart 64. I still respect Miyoo for the Mini and the Mini+ (which I personally have), but I can’t recommend the A30.

I bought one. Something I haven't heard mentioned much is that it's hard to hold. Keeping a grip that's comfortable for me to use the dpad, face buttons and triggers is tiring. I have pretty average man hands. My rg35xxsp is much nicer to hold but it was a little more money.

I finally picked one up a few weeks ago, but it was still in the $40 range. Put Spruce in it, but am having audio issues with my favorite SNES game, FFII (as titled and released here in the US). : ( Its not a bad little device, and its really small, something you can easily just pack and go as it fits nearly everywhere. Only playing 16 bit and lower on it, feels really nice.

@@junovicz Spruce. So far, it's the only game acting up for me, but it just so happens to be my favorite so /shrug. I know I can play different versions; I just like the fact that the old FF2 goes straight to the title screen, and you can play the title music on end. Fond Memories. I've been playing around with the music settings but honestly have no idea what I'm doing and have had little effect.

I was thinking of grabbing a couple of these to throw into the work secret santa pile, but I just checked the prices and they're back up to AU$70ish (That's US$45). Got to wait for the price surge from the attention to go down.

I would consider the A30 at a very low price because the d-pad and face buttons of the Mini Plus are soooo good (I much prefer them to the Anbernic 351M).

I would have liked to see you do the full list of pros and cons with this new video. You didn't really touch on the lack of headphone jack in this one, which is actually kind of important for those that want to play in bed without bothering their spouse. Great video otherwise though, it looks pretty decent for 30USD.

@retrogamecorps I love your videos but I noticed that you rarely mention headphones or Bluetooth audio (if applicable) in your videos. I’m guessing that is not something you ever use. Still, a pretty big oversight considering how thorough your content always is. I did really enjoy this update. Thank you.

The RG Nano is a sneaky small and quiet D-Pad and face buttons gaming legend. I can play inside my jacket sleeve right in front of everyone. Or wear it on a lanyard and play throughout the day. The L and R buttons are clicky, but all the rest have rubber membranes and feel smooth and quiet.
