The surprise boss' name WAS Cody. haha

RG40XX H is better

Hey! Do you know if this has an airplane mode setting? The OS isnt Android so I cant figure it out 😅

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.

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?

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,

Does it play ea titles like ncaa March madness or ncaa football

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.

Very well presented information and I really appreciate your laid back vibe. Great video!

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

Some good entries on this list!

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.

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 !!!!

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.

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.

Waiting for this device:) btw i saw a critic about this device where the soc sits directly above the battery. That was bad

Really good channel , enjoying the reviews and nice production value , keep it up.

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.

i was here before 100 subs don't forget me when you at 1M🎉

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.

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

About Pokémon unbound not running with fast forward, what gba core are you using? I use gpsp and I have not experienced any issues

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 ??

Backbone is amazing for streaming (moonlight) but for emulation I prefer a smaller handheld. Screw touch controls, haha.

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

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

Can you make a setup guide onion and this stuff?

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...

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

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.

You hit the nail on the head for why I also prefer a dedicated handheld. Good video.

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.

You can overclock it now to improve fast forward

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!🔥

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.

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.

My Miyoo Mini Plus is one of the best gaming-related purchases I've ever made! It's an amazing little piece of modern-retro tech.
