Hey! Do you know if this has an airplane mode setting? The OS isnt Android so I cant figure it out 😅
@@JodobbiTCG turning off WiFi and Bluetooth should essentially do the same thing as airplane mode 😁

@@JodobbiTCGsure thing!
It feels misleading to list Switch games in a video about handheld games since you can play docked (and that's how I've mostly played my Switch). Also Super Punch-Out!! is just straight up a SNES game, not handheld at all. You mentioned having an Anbernic device or two, so I guess the logic is that you can emulate SNES on a handheld. I expected stuff like GBA, DS, and Vita games going into this. For playing on the go, arcade-style stuff where you're doing the same stuff every time like Tetris (Rosy Retrospection is really good) or Panel de Pon (GBA version is my favorite) is nice. You don't have to remember what you were doing in some long JRPG or worry that you'll be distracted by your surroundings and ruin a very story-driven game. I played with handhelds more than home consoles growing up and mostly would play my GBA and other stuff at home, but I really liked A Link to the Past, Minish Cap, Yoshi's Island, the Mega Man Battle Network games, Mega Man Zero 4, Pokémon of course. I never really got into Metroid other than Metroid Prime 2 multiplayer on GameCube, but I've been really into 2D games lately and have enjoyed plenty of Metroidvanias like Rabi-Ribi, so I was thinking of playing through some Metroid games, using remakes and romhacks where possible to modernize some of the early games.
I'd avoid triangle strategy just based on the horrendous hdr artstyle, lmao.
@@phi9387 nooooo wayyy!!! The art style is top tier🔥🔥
@@HandheldHorizon Nope, octopath is untouchable for the same reason. This trend needs to die, it looks awful.
pretty cool video man, you are a natural keep making vids!

Hi mate! I just ordered a miyoo mini plus. Can you give me a run down on how to download onion os on it?
@@user-iw9tz8rm3t this doc here from the onion wiki is all you need! onionui.github.io/docs/installation/fresh
@@HandheldHorizon legend! Thanks man
These devices heat up from heavy use. Those adhesives are going to liquify over time and create a huge mess inside the device. useless mod considering the buttons arent even that clicky,
@@Joseph-Mamma dang for me they were VERY clicky. Honestly more than any device I’ve had before and I have had pretty much every handheld since the original gba. And many of the modern retro handhelds Anbernic, Miyoo, trimui, etc. maybe you got the “updated” version where they minimized the super clicky buttons
Does it play ea titles like ncaa March madness or ncaa football
@@ncaagaming2473 if those games are on ps1, yes most likely
You never forget your first Handheld that you absolutely loved as a child!!! For me it was the Gameboy although I didn't have many games.. I got a Sega Game Gear for Christmas one year but it wasn't until I got a GameBoy Color that I really Loved it, & felt like my true First handheld that I literally played every single day!!! Pokémon Blue was the first game I bought and had never played such an immersive RPG on such a handheld that you would never expect?! It blew us all away back then!
Two things I noticed you said that you may not know ( and I could also be wrong we are all human) I believe unbound doesn't accelerate due to how the rom hack was developed as well as you may be running on the Mgba core which is never too happy accelerating through retroarch regardless of the hardware you are playing on. Sometimes you can swap games to the gpsp core and get what you want out of a games acceleration. Also drastic natively has speedup, this is) and should be) a fairly standard option for emulators, it's often more odd that it won't have ir
For fast forward have you tried using the gpSP core? I found the mGBA core is slower than gpSP.
@@C1PH3RR yup gpsp is the main emulator is use for fast-forwarding games. 💯
Very well presented information and I really appreciate your laid back vibe. Great video!
@@jaspr1220 thank you!🙏 Have you played all the games on the list? Or any you plan on playing soon?
Do I wanna like the video? Yeah man, I wanna do it.

Throughout the 2010s and early 2020s, I always wanted a good phone to be able to do everything on them. And then I got the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, and then the S22 Ultra! PlayStation 2 and GameCube! However, by early 2024, I decided all of this power was...overwhelming and complex (and I spent way too much on various Android gaming controllers like Backbone One and Galileo G8 and many more previously, and it is a bothersome to attach and detach them), that I decided to use my PS Vita as a "retro emulation" handheld and today, I started pulling out my Nvidia Shield Portable again, though I have considered buying something new like Retroid Pocket 4 Pro (a bit costly but it can play GameCube and PS2 games pretty well from what I seen) or the Anbernic RG35XX that you have there for something on a budget. I am also considering Steam Deck, but size matters to me so for something for compact if I were to get a PC handheld, maybe the upcoming Ayaneo Air 1S, but those are beyond my budget atm.
So true bestie
@@trumpet43samurai 💯💯
Some good entries on this list!
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it😊 Any games on this list you haven’t played?
So i think there's actually a bit more to this. While i do agree that all these new mobile gaming consoles are neat and do a great job of recreating that nostalgic feeling of the old days, I do find myself playing retro games a lot more on my phone than on any of these - especially since the floodgates was recently opened by Apple. And that's actually the reason why I'm now playing more retro games than i've done before. Clearly, nothing beats tactile physical controls, and that's why i literally have no issues taking 2 seconds to side my iPhone into a controller case - i have an obscure $30 one off of Amazon that works beautifully, especially with DS games on portrait mode which i feel plays better on this than any of the mobile consoles i have. The other reason is that I always have my phone with me where as i don't typically have my devices with me all the time. And yes I agree those touch screen controls aren't great, but for playing slower RPG games....yeah no problem at all. Games like Phantasy Star, Metal Slader Glory, Chrono Trigger, FFVI, Earthbound...i exclusively play these on my phone. Interestingly enough, i've somehow manage to beat Contra 4, Castlevania The Adventure, and others right on my phone using the on screen controls (making heavy use of save states lol). Of course for more action oriented games, and higher end games on the PS1, PS2 and Dreamcast i'll prefer to play on my mobile consoles - that 556 is a beast. Should note that I own the RG353v, RG35XXSP, RG556, Trimui Smart Pro, RetroPI GBs, and various other mobile consoles. And that 35XXSP does an incredible job of replicating that old GBA.
@@Mackadotious51 great thoughts here! I’m hoping to get a gamesir gamepad to test this a bit more. I think the vertical phone set up with a gamesir could make ds gaming super nice. My backbone requires a physical connection with the phone, maybe Bluetooth would change my mind🤔🤔
So the controller I have…I don’t even see the brand name on it lol. But it’s really high quality, great battery life, and yeah the Bluetooth thing is great. I just slide my phone in, click any button on the controller and it instantly connects. Delta or whatever emulator I’m using detects it right away, goes into full screen mode and I’m controlling it all now from the controller. Should mention that I do have an adapter that allows me to attach to the controller to play in portrait mode. So DS games and vertical Shmups are perfect on this. I just wish 3DS emulation was more mature on the iPhone or else it’ll be perfect on this setup too.
Agreed dedicated handheld is the way to go, but also your book collection is stellar: lord of the rings, the hobbit, and game of thrones !!!!
@@Dee_Lopez haha thanks!!🙏 reading is my other big downtime hobby📚
I have one of these and an Anbernic SP, while I really want to like the SP since it has that form factor and ability to play some higher end systems, it just feels so low quality compared to miyoo's hardware.
I have been “gaming” on an iphone for the past 4 years. I just got my retro handheld and it is a day and night difference. I cannot believe how much better everything is.
@@MistaKastro love to hear it!! Retro handhelds are the bomb🔥🔥
I switched to the rg35xxplus, and gave my mm+ away as a gift. No regrets at all, happy with my decision.
I actually just put the kickstand up on my phone on the recliner arm and play it like a tv. Psp games look great upscaled with the bigger phone screen.
I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus to play a game I've wanted to play for a long time: EarthBound. It has been an amazing experience! It is a solid device when used with OnionOS. Now, I'm playing some Neo Geo Pocket and WonderSwan stuff, and they run great. The only real downside is that it doesn't have an RTC. I read that there's a newer version that includes it, but you need to make certain adjustments in OnionOS to get it working. However, the model I bought is an old one which doesn't have an RTC.
@@MANTEKIT I’ve never played earthbound! Really want to though. Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏼
Waiting for this device:) btw i saw a critic about this device where the soc sits directly above the battery. That was bad
It gets slightly hot, but it isn’t a huge issue imo
@@HandheldHorizonno the spot where a heatsink would usually go is exactly where the battery is so it literally helps cool the device using the battery which makes the battery hot for no reason meaning you will have to replace with heavy use after a couple years
But i won’t be using it to stream to the tv or anything so it should last at least 3+ years for light use
@@homierubikscubedude5 yep thats essentially what I’m saying here. Don’t abuse it and you should be good
Really good channel , enjoying the reviews and nice production value , keep it up.
@@dizzygulp thanks dizzy!! I have many more videos on the way🔥🔥
I'm just getting into retro gaming waiting for my trimui smart pro & r36s to arrive :) @@HandheldHorizon
I just got mine and love it so much! I was installing some new apps, but was wondering how to install community apps. Especially Spotify because it would be so cool if it could be an mp3 player as well! Just wondering if you know.
@@marsenthusiast-tv8gi great question. I do not think you can get Spotify on this at the moment. However you can put mp3 files onto the mm+ . It has a built in mp3 player. Dragging and dropping mp3s on here makes it like an old fashioned mp3 player😅
@@HandheldHorizon I saw something for Spotify client on onion is wiki community apps, and was wondering if it was true, I did see someone have Spotify on the miyoo mini plus, I was wondering if you could make a video of how to add community apps to the plus
@@marsenthusiast-tv8gi interesting!! Let me look into this. I might just make a video

@@Doryan_GMD hahaha I won’t Doryan!
It's all about the game-playing experience. I used to be big on preferring to play games on their original consoles, physicals foreverrrr! But now since the Steam Deck and other "emulator/PC" handhelds, I've swayed a bit. While I'll always love my physical game collection, I cannot deny the convenience of emulation, digital downloads, etc. To me, it's all about playing the games, experiencing them, and then moving on to whatever else interests me.
@@PJ-sv4iw great point. The steam deck is a huge part of my videogame time nowadays. I just played through triangle strategy on steam deck and was it was a GREAT experience despite the fact it originally came out in Nintendo switch.
Does this lessen how much force is needed to press the buttons? I’ve heard conflicting things regarding that. I own one, but went back to my Miyoo MM+ immediately when I realized how hard the dpad and buttons are to press
@@burlz10 honestly it feels about the same in terms of pressure you have to apply to actuate the button. But the travel seems a little bit shorter. It’s better overall
About Pokémon unbound not running with fast forward, what gba core are you using? I use gpsp and I have not experienced any issues
@@burlz10 gpsp yep. MGBA is much worse performance wise. I was only getting about 110fps with music, when I turn off music I can get 200fps-ish
I like the clicky buttons but mine over time got holes in the button pad and lost its resistance for that bounce back...how can I fix that without getting new button pads ??
@@georged7627 you talking about the original gba sp?
Personally I would try electrical tape, but without the original membranes it likely won’t ever feel great. Ordering some membranes is probably the way to go
@@HandheldHorizon no I am talking about the new RG35XX SP I've had it over a month and the pads have worn out already with little holes in them and the button press is really flat the press is there but it doesn't have that bounce back anymore and just makes it harder to play games I've moved it around so that the A and B work properly but now the X and Y don't work good just wondering if there a fix for that
@@HandheldHorizon I've seen that they sell new buttons on Etsy but they don't come with membranes ?
@@georged7627 honestly if you’ve only had it for a month you might be able to get a refund/ replacement from where you ordered it
Backbone is amazing for streaming (moonlight) but for emulation I prefer a smaller handheld. Screw touch controls, haha.
@@MixelsLab agree 💯
hi, so i have an 8-bit do pro 2 controller and a xiaomi 11t pro 12 ram 3.0ghz octacore, should i buy an r36s handheld for 30$ or get the phone clip?? im guessing my phone is gonna be way more powerfull than that r36s but if anyone has experience with both it would be great to get your advice
@@tomasguerra5675 chances are your phone will be more powerful, but you gotta ask yourself what games you plan on playing. Low powered? Go for the r36s, more intensive (GameCube, Dreamcast, ps2) get the phone clip
@@HandheldHorizon thank you haha such a fast reply, im going for a bit of everything but, gamecube games are a must, someday i'll get a really good dedicated device.
@@tomasguerra5675haha no prob man! If GC is a must I’d get the rg556 or the retroid pocket 4 pro. Here’s a link to the Rp4 pro: amzn.to/4chONTO
I’ve actually adapted to touch screen controls fairly well but some games are difficult to play with them. You make good points but I don’t have a dedicated handheld yet so this works until I do. I want a handheld like what you have because it would be more convenient than carrying a phone and a controller for it
Your dedication is commendable😅 I never got used to touch controls, brain just didn’t vibe with it. Get a Miyoo Mini Plus! Super affordable and a great experience.
@@HandheldHorizon sounds good but I want one like the clamshell you showed in the video. It’s like the GBA which I loved having at the time
@@Dragonrider1227 here is a link to one an Amazon with prime 2 day shipping: amzn.to/46t3F00
Can you make a setup guide onion and this stuff?
@@EbrahiM59K great idea! I may do that😀
I would never carry a handled in my pocket especially just to play a singular GBA game at a time or what? Carry multiple carts in my pocket? I would rather have an xbox controller with a phone clip or carry a small 8bitdo controller that's smaller than that SP. Then if you get into more powerful emu handhelds you might as well get a steam deck which you are putting in a backpack...
@@o0squid0o you would never carry a handheld on your pocket?! Hahaha different strokes for different folks, but I always have a handheld in my pocket, most of the time it’s the Miyoo Mini Plus
It depends on the handheld to me. Like, the clamshell device he used in this video is designed to be used just like that that but not all handhelds are created equal
There is space for a something in the middle, kinda like the Xperia Play. I wish someone picks that concept and makes a modern phone around it.
Phones will never replace dedicated handhelds no matter how much people on reddit tell people
@@ScrubsWasTaken preach!!
I got my Odin 2 Pro, but, I bought this Miyoo mini plus for GBA.
Beautiful device, but after I installed Onion OS (4.3.1-1) and got all my ROMS setup ready sometimes (just sometimes) the SD card doesn't get recognized and the Miyoo Mini Plus starts the stock firmware, is there a reason for this? I have to reboot it or get the SD card out and slot it in again and then it launches correctly. Is there some brand of SD card model that works just perfect for this issue? is kinda frustrating. Im using a Kingston Canvas Select Plus 64gb (A1). The irony is that with the stock card that the Miyoo came works better the Onion OS frontend XD.
@@skarav interesting! This does sound like an SD card integrity issue. The brands I like to use are sandisk and samsung.
You hit the nail on the head for why I also prefer a dedicated handheld. Good video.
Thanks Casey! Phone emulation is good in a pinch, but handhelds are the bees knees.
You also can't discount the romance of a purpose-built gaming handheld. That tactile experience is visceral for many gamers.
You're going to be big kid. Well done.
I appreciate it! As always thanks for the encouragement :)
You can overclock it now to improve fast forward
@@toycoma98 I plan on trying that soon. Does it cause any heat issues?
How to do that please...
I take background music from themes and put them in my favorite theme. Created additional folders to separate japanese translated roms, so games list wont be so cluttered. I like custom boot logo. Tons of aftermarket parts for endless customization. I like how the screen doesn't have a bezel compared to anbernic. So far i've bought 9 MM+, gifted them to family members with my curated sd card rom collection

It’s DEFINITELY not the best BUT, for some reason, it’s still my favorite!🔥
@@davidmacias1270 👌👌👌
What do you mean?
My first emulation device was a *GP2X F100* I bought over a decade ago! The Miyoo Mini holds a special place in my collection because Onion OS is amazing.
Thanks for sharing! Super cool!
Great review although I definitely would not say this runs DS well. It comes with frame skip on my default and a lot of the 3d games are very choppy. That being said I love this little device.
@@turnbasedtoddy7664 good point, for fast paced games, maybe not a great fit. But for turn based rpgs it’s mostly fine
