​@@RetroGameCorpsthanks for the video it was entertaining and informative.

[@Jaweatherford86]

I remember everyone trashing this thing when it came out but I got it anyway because I loved the design and I knew someone would come along with CFW to fix the issues. Great to see it getting a lot of love now.

[@livinlicious]

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.

[@Doc_Smash]

Saaaaame. I adore this stupid little handheld. Perfect-sized 4:3 device and plays everything I'd want it to from 16-bit and back gens.

[@skycloud4802]

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.

[@redwizardmatt]

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.

[@antwango]

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!!!!!

[@nicklaw040]

The a30 has been my daily cary device since the beginning of the summer. Spruce has made it even better. I love the community support for these products!

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.

[@HollywoodGaming-fy3vt]

For as many hand held units that you go over for us, I am surprised you haven't misplaced more of these things. Thanks Russ.

I'm setting up Spruce on a new A30 that just arrived today while watching your video. I couldn't resist how cute this thing looks, and at $27 shipped it was an easy purchase. The case it came with has the Miyoo logo and A30 label so that was a nice bonus.

[@martin_from_sweden]

Damn it! I’m still waiting for my Retroid Pocket 5, but now I can’t picture my life without this tiny beautiful machine!

[@martin_from_sweden]

@ I’m thinking about making this a ”one game unit” where I put one game at a time and hopefully actually play it instead of endlessly scrolling through the hundreds of games on my other handhelds.

I got this for $19 free shipping without the sd card, I switched back to MinUI because the device warms up on Spruce even when just playing Gameboy games. I just wish there's a battery level indicator on MinUI. This is just my 2nd handheld, feels like a real upgrade coming from the powkiddy v90 which I dont really play because of the bad screen and OS. Love your vids Rus

⁠analogue stick on a30 and the design is more appealing I think. But rg28xx is great but just slightly surpassed by the miyoo mini a30. But really both are actually my fave handhelds for commutes you can’t go wrong with either.

[@SayHenshinagogobaby]

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 have to disagree with Russ on a couple of things. Yes it does take a long button press to boot the device, but Spruce also have a great sleep mode, so tapping the power button wakes the unit in a couple of seconds, and battery drain is minimal; I keep mine in my backpack and play it during downtime at work and it is still ready to go even if I've left it a couple of days. Also the screen isn't all that dim. Perhaps I'm old and used to the non-backlit screens on consoles like the GameBoy Advance, but the screen on the A30 is plenty bright enough for my middle-aged eyes. Apart from that, Russ is spot in, this is a great unit and the price is incredible for what you get, especially as it comes with a really nice case.

I really enjoy using MinUI on my A30, and I think it's the right OS for this little device. Just add a very small game list to the device and use it for smaller gaming sessions. The quicksave works very well, and you can focus on gaming instead of fiddling around. One negative thing: my faceplate came off. But I will reprint a new one, and besides this issue, everything is fine.
