@richardmcdaniel4467 I grew up 9 years old with pokemon gen 1 out. I had ground of friends to play games together. I haven't had a buddy like that in over a decade. the more sad thing is, I've been told by kids that they've NEVER had that setup... sad
A friend got me a Miyoo Mini+ while they were traveling without knowing I had been trying to get one for over a year now, I've been a huge fan of it with Onion OS
The moment he says he never plays the Miyoo Mini but it's always in his bag is the foremost reason that you should get a Nano or a Pixel. Because having it in your bag is not as convenient as having it in your pocket. Even if the bag is with you constantly, having to bring it in front of you, rifle through it for the handheld, retrieve the handheld, close up the bag and then place it back in your shoulder is enough time that I would already be a minute into Dragon Quest 3 on the Nano. And when you only have minutes potentially to play, you end up leaving Mega Man in a perpetual frozen state, glad it's there is you ever get a solid half hour of free time but it's never convenient. I've finished A Link to the Past, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Symphony of the Night on the Nano, all with idle minutes that I'd normally just be on my phone instead. He made the argument better than I could. A Nano in the pocket is with 2 Miyoos in the bag.
Was waiting for it too! Specially bc my mother told me she wanted something to play retro games when she has free time so I wanted to get her a handheld as a gift:^)
People say it's too small/a toy, but I play the RG nano 1000% more than any other handheld because it fits in the coin pocket of jeans like nothing. My big dumb hands got used to it like nothing after half a playthrough of super mario land
@@caspay21Same. I ordered the Pixel just to see if the larger screen makes me like it more, but worst case scenario I still have the Nano if I hate it
As someone who owns an Odin Pro that can comfortably emulate most Gamecube/PS2 games, I tend to find myself playing my RG35XX waaaay more, given its much smaller size and effortless sleep functionality. Could not agree more with the statement of "the best handheld is the one you have with you".
Is Odin pro the one that has the windows on it Because Windows can't be slepped as far as I'm aware. Part of the reason I play my Steam deck so much is because you can put it to sleep.
@@bland9876Odin 2 is android. It's large enough that it's definitely past pocketable. It's expensive enough it begs the question, why not just get a Steam Deck? A RP4 Pro is more pocketable and less expensive than Odin 2, but Odin 2 has that SD 8 Gen 2 performance edge PS2 & GC level and more ergo.
I love my OG Miyoo Mini. It's still my most favorite retro handheld out of all the devices I currently own. This thing sits in my bag all day with a case and it barely takes any space. Perfect for quick little gaming sessions 😄
I have a Funkey, dude this thing is mind boggling. It can run PS1 and even N64. The latter you need custom ROMs like for Mario 64 but the fact it can run it, wtf, this blows my mind as someone that grew up with tech like the NES.
I feel like that's part of the price point problem with the funkey s. 70$ is too much for something id buy as a gimmick and i cant imagine playing anything past gba without hating the experience. If they could've dropped the price by a decent margin by using cheaper hardware then i honestly think that would've been the better move *IF* because I'm just speculating
Once my baby is old enough to not choke on peanuts, I'm definitely getting him one of these. I'd MUCH rather him get introduced to gaming with one of these than a tablet connected to the internet
You should probably just give him a ds or something like that. These things seem too fussy for a toddler, plus those can be found for like, 30 bucks. Pop in an R4 with games, and BOOM. Perfect
@@Stabbyharamaybe even a 2ds because of backwards compatibility and no hinge to break, as well as parental controls. R4 cards work on the 2ds now so don't even need to worry about DS cartridges. I highly recommend a 2ds cause I had one as a kid, the game library is more suited as well while still having alot of retro titles.
I understand a lot of people have the 'I have big hands, this is too small to be comfortable for me' problem, but please know that there's people like me who have SMALL HANDS. And I love miniature sized things!! I swear these mini handhelds are one of the best things ever for people like me 😭
This is why I love my retroid flip. Sure I'm worried about the hinge and it's definitely more pricey. But they've updated the hinges, and its way more comfortable than the Miyoo mini plus for me, and I can slip it into my pocket and always have it on me without fearing the screen breaking. Soon as that Miyoo flip comes out tho 👀
I just bought a 280v and a rg nano a couple days ago and while both are great I prefer the 280v handheld, even though it’s old by now it still holds up against newer devices and both are costs the same.
the 280v is my LEAST favorite handheld out of 10+. The ergonomics suck. The rg280m blows it away in comfort and is just as pocketable, solid build quality.
Just an update too about the Miyoo Mini. OnionOS 4.3.0 (beta) now has integrated Nintendo DS emulation that's runs great. Worth knowing if someone is looking for a smaller system like these, but wants the one with the ability to play more Pokémon games.
I didn't love my retroid pocket 2+ so I gifted it to my husband who had fun setting it up etc, and got a Miyoo Mini Plus which I am loving. Perfect size, I'm glad I went for the plus instead of the original size.
I have large hands, I beat every 2D Metroid on the FunKey S and had a blast. It's so tiny it's like an extra element of fun tacked on to whatever you're playing.
I’m kinda starting to lean towards micro-handhelds over “pocketable” ones like the Miyoo Mini or RG35XX. If I wanna do any serious gaming in the go, I’ll take my RP2 or just bring my Switch. And for quick little bite size rounds of gaming I feel the RG Nano or the Funkey is way more convenient because it’s literally the size of a tomogachi. But things like the Miyoo or the RG35XX are to small for longer sessions and to big to be super convenient like the Nano or the Funkey.
You could put a smartphone in two ultra-thick tactical Otterbox defender cases and it still wouldn't be as thick as the shoulder buttons on the Miyoo mini plus. It's a cool device, but one I consider barely more portable than my OLED switch (i.e. it stays at home)
@@caspay21 I think anything smaller than a switch lite in size is conveniently portable. That means it could fit in my glove box or my pocket pretty easily. My issue with the Miyoo Mini and RG35XX is less their size and more so their form factor and especially the delicate screen. They’re beautiful screens, but one good drop or to much pressure and they pop out or break. I’m not throwing something like that in my pocket or a bag without a case lol
Man that cover is such a good idea for more grip. That should be something that is focused on with all these tiny pocket devices. Full protection and letting adults play that really are the main target audience. Also I’d like to see some single handed devices… obviously designed for RPGs like FF or pokemon. I remember jailbreaking an ancient iPhone and a gbc emulator had a button layout that worked perfectly for one hand.
That last comment about the micro really speaks to me. Us big hand folk can't deal with the vertical tiny gadgets. Loving my RBG30 for this very reason.
Just got the Trimui Smart and it made me sell my RG Nano, extremely compact, horizontal handheld and can kinda run NDS as well, with wifi and bluetooth its one of the best so far
One of the very best things with the miyoo mini (with onion) is definitely for me its compatibility with the plus model. Just switch the cards and you can keep gaming on either. (just got the "3 in 1" case for both, absolutely great especially for the mini classic; cheap and adds a LOT of comfort).
I really love my PowKiddy V90. It's shittier in many respects than every device you showed here, but it's normally between $30 and $40, occasionally a bit less. It's also a clamshell that is a comfortable size in the hand. And, while the firmware is nothing amazing, the MiyooCFW project (the name was less confusing before the Miyoo mini was released) has recently managed to put together a 2.0 beta that's completely open source instead of just mixing and matching binaries, which means it should be easier to support long-term.
I literally have the miyoo mini, Anbernic RG-Nano, FunKey S and I have the GKD Pixel on pre-order 😅 these are really my favourite form factor of retro gaming handhelds!
I settled for a rg35xx plus and I couldn't be happier. The stock OS is nothing to write home about sure but it works and with some fiddling I was able to replace some outdated retroarch cores and setup my own roms and now all games run great. Currently playing through some PS1 classics, can't wait to try the hdmi out as soon as I get a cable.
I can personally attest that the funkey nano is much more durable than it looks. Took about a year in my pocket to get some noticeable damage, and I walk quite a bit too (around 3-4 miles each day). Its attached in keychain form factor, to my personal keys too.
Funkey S is my favourite, I don't have to think about it... it's always with me and ready to go at a flip of a screen. Is it good for long play sessions? No but if I wanted that I'd use something like the switch or a handheld PC. I can also hide it in my hand while I play which lets me avoid weird looks when I'm out and about.
5:23 perhaps the keychain could be used to hang it from a bag when traveling. it's so small it just looks like a random bag charm until you unclip and start playing Pokemon on it 😂
So i have the RG35XX (thanks to your amazing reviews) running on Garlic, and I'm convinced there isn't sleep modes or suspending games exactly. But instead powering up a game from sleep/ suspension is just the handheld instantly loading a save state of the game that auto saved as you suspended it/ entered sleep mode and therefore isn't actually suspending games in the background. That might be why your mega man was still able to play from suspension after so long. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong c:
Why does everyone want to throw everything in their bags? You always hear "it's perfect to just throw in your bag". Stop throwing shit you'll break it.
My only two of these retro handhelds i own at the moment are the OG Miyoo Mini and the RP2S. Honestly I find myself almost exclusively using the RP2S, its roughly the size of a GBA and ergonomics are just perfect. I love my miyoo a lot but I just don't reach for it as often
Agreed with the intentional thought on the use-case for these tiny devices. For me, they are perfect dedicated JRPG machines. I’ve been using an old tiny android phone for a similar use.
i overpayed like 50% for my miyoo mini 2 (back when bots literally auto purchased all of them when the official store restocked) and dont regret it at all. Amazing device
I'm loving my Miyoo Mini+ as well. I realize it's a wee bit bigger than the original Miyoo Mini, but the larger screen size makes a big difference for my 38 year old (and aging) eyes. It's the same width as my iPhone XR, albeit shorter and thicker, but still quite pocketable, I think anyway.
The rug nano is a great jrpg/turnbased system in general. Keeping one thing loaded on it is definitely the truth. I mean you can load it down with a bunch of stuff, but I’ve got a surprising amount of hours in dragon warrior monsters on mine and when I get done with that I’ll probably put another jrpg into perpetual sleep mode. 5 or 15 minutes here and there when it’s always in my pocket really ads up. I just wish it booted a bit faster, but 1 handed play in line at the grocery store or wherever is a godsend
Got my Miyoo Mini+ for christmas and it's my favorite thing to just have in my bag for whenever I have time for my pokemon run or kirby playthrough. Already beat 4 kirby games and pokemon emerald, so I would also recommend the miyoo mini+
"Best device is the one you have with you". Agreed. Might pick uo one of these pocketable devices, but I think a good pocket gaming option is using yout phone and that 8bitdo keychain controller. Getting more use out of apple arcade and the afterplay is really nice for emulation option for iphone.
I heard from other channels that the developer of mini ui is working on releasing it on this platform. If that happens then this thing is going to be real nice.
I have atleast 100+ games on both my fun key s and they are very fun and pretty comfortable for how small they are but my mind was blown when PlayStation games worked on them and the only downside is not all PlayStation or n64 games work if they need a L2-R2 or stick but other then that playing initial d and other titles are super fun.
This is exactly what I've been looking for :D I've been looking at these because I've been getting into making Gameboy games recently and want to play on similar hardware. I already have an OG 3ds for portable gaming and i love it but it's super heavy sometimes and the battery leaves something to he desired.
I think that the best device to carry around in a bag is the R36s. Not too small, nice screen quality, size and aspect ratio. I've paid 25€ for it and if I drop it or it scratches I don't care.
As someone who has like not very big hands and owns a Miyoo Mini Plus I gotta say I couldn’t imagine using these things for longer than 2 minutes. The Plus kills my hands cramping wise so these seem like a nightmare.
The reason the Miyoo mini v1, v2 and v3 were always out of stock was the bad availability of its good screen. It's both quite sad, that this lil thing can't be made anymore and new people interested would have to suffer the v4's worse screen, but at least that still exists. For me, personally, the Miyoo mini+ is the better thing to have always with me, though. I have two of those, should one ever fail and for some reason a newer version would similarly have something wrong with it. The Analogue Pocket is what I use at home, though.
I love the metal construction. If it wasn't such a bad grade and no CFW or possible upgrade later makes it really hard to recommend. If someone made a metal MM or MM+ shell that would be awesome. Lets look!
I love the idea of these mini handhelds but i personally find even the miyoo mini plus to be just on the side of too small for me. Im waiting for a good version of a gameboy advance sp style handheld that can get as small as some of these while being a tad on the larger side when deployed.
This is approximately where I'm at. The Miyoo Mini Plus is about as small as I'm willing to go. Anything smaller and it's just painful to actually play on. These extremely-mini handhelds are interesting in a "Look! I can play DOOM on this postage-stamp-sized device!" way, but not to actually use for gaming.
@@chemicalburrito782 I wonder if a device designed to be used in one hand would be the answer, something with the design language of a tamagotchi or a digivice.
i have a miyoo mini (original) but i never ever use it because i feel like it'd break if it ever falls from my lap or a table or anything. it looks and feels like an egg that will crack if you drop it, and.. ive seen that happen to a ton of people on reddit as well. how has yours held up for so long?

I couldn't agree more. As a gamer since ever, with my nano it's the first time post smartphone that I trully play everywhere it is possible

I have the v1, best of the bunch. 2 spare batteries, no wires--just pop the battery out, pop a new one in.

i have a funkey and i love it, it's just so tiny. the battery sucks tho but the customer service is pretty good!
"Best device is the one you have with you". Agreed. Might pick uo one of these pocketable devices, but I think a good pocket gaming option is using yout phone and that 8bitdo keychain controller. Getting more use out of apple arcade and the afterplay is really nice for emulation option for iphone.
That's the best ad I have seen in a while 😂. Well done!
I heard from other channels that the developer of mini ui is working on releasing it on this platform. If that happens then this thing is going to be real nice.
I love my Anbernic Nano, I also got a Powkiddy Q36 that uses the same hardware in a horizontal form factor.
I have atleast 100+ games on both my fun key s and they are very fun and pretty comfortable for how small they are but my mind was blown when PlayStation games worked on them and the only downside is not all PlayStation or n64 games work if they need a L2-R2 or stick but other then that playing initial d and other titles are super fun.
Totally agree on the pixel. Looks awesome but its was expensive especially when the competition is great as well.
I just ordered the miyoo mini plus and I can’t wait!!! And I got it for 30 bucks from TikTok! Can’t wait to play it
Have a Funkey S and love it. Once you get the grip figured out, it's a lot easier to use. Even completed Super Metroid on it.
This is exactly what I've been looking for :D
I've been looking at these because I've been getting into making Gameboy games recently and want to play on similar hardware.
I already have an OG 3ds for portable gaming and i love it but it's super heavy sometimes and the battery leaves something to he desired.
There may not be a direct FPGA clone of Game Boy Micro specifically, but there does exist an FPGA clone of the GBA in general: the Analogue Pocket.
I think that the best device to carry around in a bag is the R36s. Not too small, nice screen quality, size and aspect ratio. I've paid 25€ for it and if I drop it or it scratches I don't care.
The King of Ads, only you can make an ad I enjoy watching.
As someone who has like not very big hands and owns a Miyoo Mini Plus I gotta say I couldn’t imagine using these things for longer than 2 minutes. The Plus kills my hands cramping wise so these seem like a nightmare.
I think the Miyoo Mini will hold a special spot in the gaming world for now on.
man i truly love your videos !! it's relaxing to watch !!
The reason the Miyoo mini v1, v2 and v3 were always out of stock was the bad availability of its good screen. It's both quite sad, that this lil thing can't be made anymore and new people interested would have to suffer the v4's worse screen, but at least that still exists. For me, personally, the Miyoo mini+ is the better thing to have always with me, though. I have two of those, should one ever fail and for some reason a newer version would similarly have something wrong with it. The Analogue Pocket is what I use at home, though.
If you don't mind, can you share the file for that case you printed?
The RGB30 is also a good small handheld.
The custom firmware for the Miyoo Mini is great. That's the reason I haven't bought any of its competitors.
“Poop break” … after “couch time” 😂
Fantastic device. On the go I play the Miyoo. At home, its Odin. Can't wait to see there Flip design coming out
I love the intro music..The New Tetris.
As a 56 year old man I kind of need a bigger screen I got the 35xx it plays nice but I always have a hard time seeing some of the smaller stuff in it.
I have a RG nano and I love it. Great for pokemon or other RPGs. The ergonomics are a lot better if you think about it as a one hand device.
Praying for a horizontal form factor using this screen something akin to the Gameboy micro but with a metal shell like this!
I love the metal construction. If it wasn't such a bad grade and no CFW or possible upgrade later makes it really hard to recommend. If someone made a metal MM or MM+ shell that would be awesome. Lets look!
I mean this in the nicest, most respectful way possible… You look like someone drew Moist Critical from memory.
Thanks for making your sponsored sections watchable 🤘
One handed playing RPGs like Pokemon is pretty cool in these
I love the idea of these mini handhelds but i personally find even the miyoo mini plus to be just on the side of too small for me. Im waiting for a good version of a gameboy advance sp style handheld that can get as small as some of these while being a tad on the larger side when deployed.
This is approximately where I'm at. The Miyoo Mini Plus is about as small as I'm willing to go. Anything smaller and it's just painful to actually play on. These extremely-mini handhelds are interesting in a "Look! I can play DOOM on this postage-stamp-sized device!" way, but not to actually use for gaming.
@@chemicalburrito782 I wonder if a device designed to be used in one hand would be the answer, something with the design language of a tamagotchi or a digivice.
Yes - finally a dedicated video to little Bobbo guys!
The funkey s is real nice for games that dont use the shoulder buttons a lot, they can be quite stiff so playing a game like sm64 can be annoying
I was waiting for this, thank you 🥲
The best video game RUclipsr on the planet . Super chill ✨🦊✨
Great video and your ads get better and better lmao
i have a miyoo mini (original) but i never ever use it because i feel like it'd break if it ever falls from my lap or a table or anything. it looks and feels like an egg that will crack if you drop it, and.. ive seen that happen to a ton of people on reddit as well. how has yours held up for so long?
I just bought an rg nano and it's been great. Gonna do a video on it.
Why is the ad so good and let the rest of the video in the dark?
