🛒 *Buy on Amazon* : amzn.to/41eBZcQ Hey everyone! Sorry for the long wait! I really wanted to step things up and push for higher quality content. 🙃 What are your thoughts on the Miyoo Mini? Have you been able to pick one up since its release? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. And if you haven't already, be sure to subscribe! Thanks for watching!!
Got my plus from aliexpress for $53 instead of $90 off Amazon. LOVE it! I definitely wouldn't want it to be any smaller (regular mini), the screen is perfect and I've been going back to the ps1 and gba classics
@@jonathonearl482 For the record, the Mini+ is amazing. As more features come out that take advantage of the internal wifi, the better the Mini+ gets. I guess for me, I was already using the RG35XX a lot, especially for PS1. So between the Mini and Mini+, the Mini is just more different from the RG35XX in size and use case so I tend to use it more. I expect that over time, I will be using the Mini+ more to check out the wifi features.
@@matt_HM One things for sure the Original Miyoo Mini wins in the pocket portability department, being the same exact size as a deck of playing cards! The portability along with the changeable battery compartment and the bezel-less display makes me want to consider repurchasing an Original Miyoo Mini. Only now, I'm currently waiting on the release of both the Trimui Smart Brick and the Miyoo Flip.
Love my Miyoo Mini Plus because I can play basically any retro games including PS1 (which I have been longing) on a really pocketable size! More pocketable than my DSi and my PSP 2000.
Bro this video, the music, the colors, the lighting, the eloquence of your speaking, everything... this was so relaxing and comforting and fun and just... wow this is how i want more videos to be. Definitely going to see more of your content.
Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I am always unsure if I should try something different with my videos so it's good to hear that people dig this vibe.
I had the plus first and I just got the V4. It really is smaller than it looks once you get it in your hands . I love the V4. I bring it with me everywhere.
The myoo mini plus is still super pocketable, I could see how a slightly smaller size would be cool but for people with larger hands, it does hit the sweet spot.
Your videos are so cinematic and your format is so informative! The production value is insane! I've wanted to get my hands on a mini for so long but it's impossible 😭Amazing video!
Just wanted to mention that I find myself coming back to watch this video again for the beautiful quality of everything. I really hope you make more videos!
No, thank you!! Your videos and guides have been so helpful while I try to navigate the emulation world! And your channel has just been a huge inspiration to me in general!
Dude, the “art department” feel to everything in front of the lens is absolutely incredible in your videos. Very unique and well crafted. Combined with The lighting, color grade, the image you produce is stellar. As someone who works in video/film production I’d say you work in that same field and bring that experience into your love and passion for retro handhelds. Stellar work dude. I couldn’t help but sub to the channel
Wow thanks again for the positive feedback! I have actually never done any videography before starting the channel but do have a background in the arts!
Hey brother, please make more videos. You're extremely talented. I know you haven't posted in like 5 months. Maybe you have a lot of stuff going on, but for real. This video was like a movie.
5 months! 😭 yeah sadly i just moved to a new place in December so packing and moving really set me back. Good news is that i should be done painting my new office this weekend so video production can start back up in March!
@@matt_HM just speaking facts my friend. We need creators that are enthusiastic and creative like yourself in this space. Looking forward to your return.
100% agree. I own a mini, 2 pluses, RG35xx, vita and steam Deck. I find myself going to the mini more often due to its size. Hard to play on long term, but so easy to play on the go or out and about! The battery life on the mini is the best or along side the RG35xx.
I rarely write comments on TH-cam, but here I just had to. What a great production quality you have… I love your close shots, the calm, and clear way you are talking, as well as your choice of music to underline the video. You deserve way more subscribers! Keep going like that and you'll get there for sure. You've really inspired me to increase my production value as well. Currently, I'm in a bit of a slump when it comes to making videos. So again thanks for inspiring me!
Thanks for the sub! I checked out your channel, awesome stuff. Please don’t give me another reason to get into gunpla lol. I’ve been resisting for years!
This video got me really excited for my mini plus I ordered yesterday. Although I think the OG mini is awesome, I know it would be too small for my hands. The plus I think will scratch all my itches. Can’t wait!
Man i just found your channel and i really loved it, great quality, great content and i just can't wait to see your collection. This channel will be big. Greetings from Chile
Thanks and welcome to the channel! Glad you like it! Maybe we will do a collection/game room over view as a 5k subscriber special or something! 10k? Sometime soon!
I've been holding off on buying a handheld for years. I have a flight on Friday so I just broke down and ordered this off of Amazon so it'll be here tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it.
This video is also a masterpiece. And is that WoW-inspired background music? 👀 I get into the mood to do some quests now-after placing my order for the Miyoo Mini Plus.
I just got the mini plus because the net play intrigued me. I’ve had the Rg35xx for about a year. But my favorite pickup and play device has been the rg280v. It’s so durable. If it had the sleep function and auto save of garlic, the 280v would be perfect in my eyes.
@@matt_HM it’s worth the $50, it’s a little wider than the mini. But miles more durable. I’ve heard a small drop can mess the screen up on a mini. The rg280v is like a fisher price toy in a good way. Adam image on it makes it really nice but it doesn’t auto save when you exit a game and i don’t how long it takes to boot up. Also it sucks that the speaker is in the back of the unit.
@@matt_HM the rg280vs Adam image has an easy save state and sleep function. I just didn’t know that there were hot keys for it. So re retract my statement. The 280v is my favorite one for portability
@@SirBrucie I don’t have firsthand experience of the v2. But I like that it’s bigger. I wanted a mini really bad but when I got an rg35xx I was glad I didn’t because playing on a screen that small wouldn’t work for me. I have terrible up close vision
Liked and subbed. LItnxt ships with Onion OS and a decent memory card now. The mini is also on V4 and easy to find. I own a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and recently an updated Miyoo A30. I'm so torn on which to get the Mini or Mini Plus now! So hard to choose and cash is tight so I won't buy both just yet. Watching videos like this makes me lean back towards the mini as I don't care about shoulder buttons and just want a small handheld to play old school games on during a long drive as passenger or waiting to get into my doctor appointments. Normally I'd say I don't care about pockit-ability as I also carry my backpack or use a game case anyway, but with that being said I'd like a console I can carry around in my pocket and just play. Coin toss but I thin watching this swayed me back to the mini...
Haha sorry for the wait! It’s hard sometimes to work on these with my normal job. 🥲 And nope! Believe it or not I have no background in video or media production. Just learning as I go!
This was my first emulation device and I absolutely love it!!! I recently picked up the 35xx mainly because it was on offer. I played it once and now it will not charge up! It is definitely not the charging cable as that cable will charge the Miyoo mini. So I am back using the miyoo and wondering why I even bothered to buy the anbernic device!! Great video mate❤
I ordered one for me today, it's not what I wanted but where I live we pay almost 100% taxes over imports, so I had to 'buy two' just to get one. I hope to enjoy it.
So which is better out of the miyoo mini and the analogue pocket? Both videos seem too good to be true! Im looking for a console that i can play amiga and nes games on. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Very different devices! The Pocket is mainly for playing original cartridges however you can play NES and other systems on it using the OpenFPGA. The screen and build quality are better but it comes at a price. The Miyoo Mini is much smaller and cheaper but can emulate basically everything up to tge PS1!
Great video, I want to extract the roms from the supplied SD card but I can't find where they are stored? Emulators states in /roms but when loaded in PC I can't see them but they are somewhere as I can play them on the original card.
Thanks! Im not super familiar with the folder structure of the included sd card but i would also assume they would be in a roms folder. It’s possible they are hidden files. Not sure!
As always, your video production is great, it's so pleasant to saw what you do. I kind to like the Tiny form factor of the Miyoo Mini, but I prefer have a device that just a tiny more huge for my Handheld, like the Anbernic RG35XX your present on a video 2 mouth ago, or a Analogu Pocket with the Open FPGA Stuff. I like play on the go, and I think one day I'm going to buy one of those, that's why I like your video, you (and other) make me thinking about how to play my game ! I'm also curious to saw your Gaming setup, how your play video game, that kind of stuff than I like to saw.
Thanks for the kind words! I agree that the slightly larger handhelds are great, like the RG35XX. Would you be interested in seeing my retro gaming setup or a game room tour type of thing? Thanks again!
Matt, your videos are of a caliber suited to a channel a hundred times as large. I can't believe you're only on your fifth video. One of the advantages of that, at least, is the fact that you'll actually see my comment. I love what you do. I love your production style, it's truly a pleasure. One thing I wish you'd do? Unobtrusive corner captions for each game on display, some other channel does that and I really appreciate the ability to pick up and play whatever I'm seeing. Bonus points for soundtrack credits, because your tracks are lovingly curated and I want to know what they are. Just curious, since you're clearly a fan of both: in the final analysis, how does the Mini compare to the Pocket for you? Which do you find yourself using more often?
Lots of great feedback here! First off, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! Next thing, game titles. This was going to be the first video where I included them on each clip that showcased gameplay. I chickened out in the end thinking that they might take attention away from games that were only on screen for like five seconds. Next video though, I will make sure to include them! Next, I did credit the channel that allowed me to use their music, you can find details in the description if you’d like to check it out! I can probably go through each video and add track title and artist names to the descriptions. The last question is tough. If I owned neither, I would definitely buy a Pocket first, hands down. The screen quality and ability to play cartridges is really important to me. That being said, I take good care of my Pocket and don’t really bring it anywhere lol. The Mini is the ultimate portable, I mean, you can actually fit it in your pocket lol. Not sure if that answers your question. The Miyoo Mini might get more use because it leaves the house lol.
@@matt_HM That answers my question brilliantly, thank you! I was fortunate enough to nab one of the glow-in-the-dark Pockets, and I can't imagine it leaving the house very often at all, ahahah.
@@matt_HM dude the quality of your videos is amazing. I do handheld reviews on the retro handhelds channel and I wish my stuff was at this level! Thanks for the motivation 😂 and I'm Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks! That really means a lot to me! I recently discovered the discord and it has been an amazing resource. I’ve checked out a few live streams too! Keep up the awesome work!
is there a case to be made that the Miyoo Mini is actually more confortable to play than the Miyoo Mini Plus? (for GB, GBC, GBA, SNES) ? Obviously not for long 1-2 hours sessions, but for let's say 20-40 minutes sessions. I have slightly bigger hands than average. But i guess there is a way to hold it that can feel pretty confortable, especially if you play games that don't require the triggers?
I’d say that if you have bigger hands than the Mini Plus is probably the way to go. It’s really hard to make a determination until it’s in your hands. The Mini Plus is easy to buy on Amazon and if you don’t like it, Amazon makes it easy to return!
I was about to get that Mini Plus but then i remembered i already have a heavily modded N3DSXL and PS Vita. I've actually been playing PS1 on my N3DSXL. Killzone on the Vita. The best part about those is that once modded most games will run natively which is a big plus for me. Despite being able to play some PS2 games on the Vita i'm still patiently waiting for a budget handheld that will be able to run all PS2 games near perfection. Retroid Pocket 4 perhaps? :o
@@matt_HM I just bought the Mini Plus V3 ahahah. Saw a nice deal on Temu. 48€ w/ 64GB card, USB adapter and case! Will use mostly for GB and GBA probably because of the form factor! Ended up also grabbing the 8bitdo Lite 2 for 23,50€. All with the 50% off they offer. Can't wait for them to arrive! :D
various-booth.booth.pm I actually ordered them from Japan from this guy. It's a bit of a hassle ordering from here and the shipping cost sucks, so I just bought a lot at once. The quality is pretty incredible though.
would like to try one of the custom OSs but have some reservations about installing the software required on to my computer. I think it was batocera that asks for user’s password… that’s where it ended for me
For flashing or formatting the SD Card? I've been using Balena Etcher but there might be other programs that can do the same thing. Definitely don't install anything you aren't comfortable with!
@@matt_HMyes, balena etcher that’s the one! ty if it supported something like windows vista on my old netbook that i could sideload from a usb drive, then I would’ve not thought twice about it 😆 until that’s an option my devices remain with the stock os
Tell me you watch GxAce without telling me you watch GxAce. Jokes aside, great video! I consider buying the plus version because I think even for my tiny hands the normal mini might be a little bit too small. I'm really amazed with how far these kinds of emulation machines have come in recent years.
Nah man. It rattles like a dollar store toy, breaks like it is made of tooth picks, and is hand crampingly small to the point of unusable for anyone without baby hands. with a tpu or silicone cover the rg35xx is as pocketable if not more so because i dont fear i will snap it in half or smash it against something. Not to mention the fact that it is a dead console that is no where near with the after market price and will be unreplaceable when the thing does crap out on you. By the time i would put in in a case i was stratified would protect it, it is just as big if not bigger than the rg35xx with a cover. It really does not serve the market at all to wave around a dead product like this and try to make people feel like they missed out on something that no where near lives up to the expectations you are putting out there.
I’ve never had issues with the build quality. And they have been doing drops all this week on Ali express. I do love the RG35XX tho! Thanks for watching!!
one more question: where are people buying their Miyoo Mini nowadays (at an affordable price)? (or when will it be manufactured again?) the link you have is out of stock
The AliExpress site is the only place I’ve used to buy the Mini without a markup on the price. They do drops every now and then when they have stock. There’s a twitter account called Miyoo Mini Alerts (something like that) that will give you a heads up on when a new drop is coming!

The good old days!
Man the PS1 buttons on the Miyoo Mini Plus is sick.
I'd love to see a video on changing and customising your consoles. Another banger as always.

That’s awesome!
I love my Analogue Pocket, but the pick up and play of the Mini is just so good. I always end up reaching for it over the Pocket
Yeah! They're both awesome and have their own use cases. Using the Pocket feels special, but I too don't use it as often.
Enjoy the input lag, worse screen and no display modes
@@bocadog3 run ahead removes the input lag and it has way more display modes. I do wish the screen was better.
@@bocadog3 thanks for watching!!
Some people demand perfection. Some of us just want to have fun 😀
What a beautiful video!!
Where did you get your transparent blue buttons from? please tell they are so nice.
Should be a link to the site in the video description!
The miyoo mini is the only device I manage to go LVL 19 in Tetris.
Great video, I want to extract the roms from the supplied SD card but I can't find where they are stored? Emulators states in /roms but when loaded in PC I can't see them but they are somewhere as I can play them on the original card.
Thanks! Im not super familiar with the folder structure of the included sd card but i would also assume they would be in a roms folder. It’s possible they are hidden files. Not sure!
As always, your video production is great, it's so pleasant to saw what you do.
I kind to like the Tiny form factor of the Miyoo Mini, but I prefer have a device that just a tiny more huge for my Handheld, like the Anbernic RG35XX your present on a video 2 mouth ago, or a Analogu Pocket with the Open FPGA Stuff.
I like play on the go, and I think one day I'm going to buy one of those, that's why I like your video, you (and other) make me thinking about how to play my game !
I'm also curious to saw your Gaming setup, how your play video game, that kind of stuff than I like to saw.
Thanks for the kind words!
I agree that the slightly larger handhelds are great, like the RG35XX.
Would you be interested in seeing my retro gaming setup or a game room tour type of thing?
Thanks again!
@@matt_HM I thinking about a Game Room Tour, but saw Your Retro Gaming Setup can also be great to saw.
I love your video 😍 Please tell me what game is that 0:24 ?
It would be great to see the entire list of games from the video in description 😅
At that time its either Strider for the PS1 or Chrono Trigger for Snes!
Matt, your videos are of a caliber suited to a channel a hundred times as large. I can't believe you're only on your fifth video. One of the advantages of that, at least, is the fact that you'll actually see my comment.
I love what you do. I love your production style, it's truly a pleasure. One thing I wish you'd do? Unobtrusive corner captions for each game on display, some other channel does that and I really appreciate the ability to pick up and play whatever I'm seeing. Bonus points for soundtrack credits, because your tracks are lovingly curated and I want to know what they are.
Just curious, since you're clearly a fan of both: in the final analysis, how does the Mini compare to the Pocket for you? Which do you find yourself using more often?
Lots of great feedback here! First off, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Next thing, game titles. This was going to be the first video where I included them on each clip that showcased gameplay. I chickened out in the end thinking that they might take attention away from games that were only on screen for like five seconds. Next video though, I will make sure to include them!
Next, I did credit the channel that allowed me to use their music, you can find details in the description if you’d like to check it out! I can probably go through each video and add track title and artist names to the descriptions.
The last question is tough. If I owned neither, I would definitely buy a Pocket first, hands down. The screen quality and ability to play cartridges is really important to me. That being said, I take good care of my Pocket and don’t really bring it anywhere lol. The Mini is the ultimate portable, I mean, you can actually fit it in your pocket lol.
Not sure if that answers your question. The Miyoo Mini might get more use because it leaves the house lol.
@@matt_HM That answers my question brilliantly, thank you! I was fortunate enough to nab one of the glow-in-the-dark Pockets, and I can't imagine it leaving the house very often at all, ahahah.
Me too! Hoping to do a video on it!
Fantastic video! Im definitely checking out the rest of your stuff.
Thanks! Just trying to get better with each video!
@@matt_HM dude the quality of your videos is amazing.
I do handheld reviews on the retro handhelds channel and I wish my stuff was at this level! Thanks for the motivation 😂 and I'm Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks! That really means a lot to me! I recently discovered the discord and it has been an amazing resource. I’ve checked out a few live streams too! Keep up the awesome work!
WHY do you barely have any videos. You've got such a chill, lofi vibe. Bro make more.
Haha thanks dude! That is the plan! Had to put the channel on hold for a bit while I packed and moved to a new place. Still getting set up!
@@matt_HM I’m here for it!
what version is the one in the video? I cannot find that design with the transparent (green?) buttons etc
The blue one has custom buttons installed. There should be a link to the seller's website in the description!
Here for the video production value. ❤
Bro the audio work on this video is crazy, you got to teach us this secret sauce! sub off the first 10 secs lol
Thanks dude! Shoutout to @fantasylofi for the three main songs!
Have to finish the quote, jack of all trades master of none.
is there a case to be made that the Miyoo Mini is actually more confortable to play than the Miyoo Mini Plus? (for GB, GBC, GBA, SNES) ? Obviously not for long 1-2 hours sessions, but for let's say 20-40 minutes sessions. I have slightly bigger hands than average. But i guess there is a way to hold it that can feel pretty confortable, especially if you play games that don't require the triggers?
I’d say that if you have bigger hands than the Mini Plus is probably the way to go. It’s really hard to make a determination until it’s in your hands. The Mini Plus is easy to buy on Amazon and if you don’t like it, Amazon makes it easy to return!
I was about to get that Mini Plus but then i remembered i already have a heavily modded N3DSXL and PS Vita. I've actually been playing PS1 on my N3DSXL. Killzone on the Vita. The best part about those is that once modded most games will run natively which is a big plus for me. Despite being able to play some PS2 games on the Vita i'm still patiently waiting for a budget handheld that will be able to run all PS2 games near perfection. Retroid Pocket 4 perhaps? :o
Yeah who knows when ps2 emulation will comfortably hit the budget category! I haven’t dabbled with PS2 emulation yet but am hoping to real soon.
I have The Switch OLED, PS VITA Modded and I bought today the AMBERNIC and the next one is the Myioo Mini - tou got to love them all.🍻
@Gamehighlight2023 all amazing!
@@matt_HM I just bought the Mini Plus V3 ahahah. Saw a nice deal on Temu. 48€ w/ 64GB card, USB adapter and case!
Will use mostly for GB and GBA probably because of the form factor! Ended up also grabbing the 8bitdo Lite 2 for 23,50€. All with the 50% off they offer. Can't wait for them to arrive! :D
The real masterpiece here was that video! BAZINGA that was good
Thanks!!
I'll second that. Fook me, your video is oozing quality.
Really tho this reminds me of one of those sleek new smartphone commercials 😅@@matt_HM
this video is almost as much of a masterpiece as the miyoo mini! also I subbed. also this is like 1m sub level content
1m! That’s the dream!! Thanks dude
Hi, do you know please why GBA games doesn't work after following instructions to update to latest Onion OS? Thanks
Hmmm, unfortunately I don't know the answer to that, but I'd recommend checking reddit to see if anyone does know!
Hi Matt, thank you for your reply. So you didn't have any issue with GBA database following instalation link in bio? Thanks
Dude cant find the link or any indication for the bluehis transparent miyoo mini plus with blue buttons. Give me that pls ! Awesome work, keep it up.
Oh you're right! Apologies!
various-booth.booth.pm/items
Would love to know where you got the button from on your Blue mini

I actually ordered them from Japan from this guy. It's a bit of a hassle ordering from here and the shipping cost sucks, so I just bought a lot at once. The quality is pretty incredible though.
wait what are the fighting games that you praise so much around 6:05?
SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium
i just got a 3ds and homebrewed it and it blows this out of the water as i can play 3ds games and everything this does.
I’ve never done a jailbreak on a 3ds or vita but have been considering it!
It’s a bit unfair to compare a jailbroken 3DS to a budget mini handheld.
Beautiful video, thanks.
Schmurtz, Onion Team 😉
No, thank you!!! 🙏
please make a video of how you build and decide your game library for emulation device!!
I know I’m slow on the uptake but I thought they stopped making these. Are they being produced still?
They’ve been dropping new ones on AliExpress every week for a few weeks now!
Another BEAUTIFULLY SHOT video, Matt.
See me in KOF R-2.
I love my myoo mini, but I find myself using my phone and a clip on controller more these days for sheer multifunction usage
Whatever works for you! No wrong way to play!
would like to try one of the custom OSs but have some reservations about installing the software required on to my computer. I think it was batocera that asks for user’s password… that’s where it ended for me
For flashing or formatting the SD Card? I've been using Balena Etcher but there might be other programs that can do the same thing. Definitely don't install anything you aren't comfortable with!
@@matt_HMyes, balena etcher that’s the one! ty
if it supported something like windows vista on my old netbook that i could sideload from a usb drive, then I would’ve not thought twice about it 😆 until that’s an option my devices remain with the stock os
Tell me you watch GxAce without telling me you watch GxAce. Jokes aside, great video! I consider buying the plus version because I think even for my tiny hands the normal mini might be a little bit too small. I'm really amazed with how far these kinds of emulation machines have come in recent years.
Hes the best 😉!
MIyoo mini is great as a one-hander for me. I love GBA games and this is just an awesome platform for it.
Nah man. It rattles like a dollar store toy, breaks like it is made of tooth picks, and is hand crampingly small to the point of unusable for anyone without baby hands. with a tpu or silicone cover the rg35xx is as pocketable if not more so because i dont fear i will snap it in half or smash it against something. Not to mention the fact that it is a dead console that is no where near with the after market price and will be unreplaceable when the thing does crap out on you. By the time i would put in in a case i was stratified would protect it, it is just as big if not bigger than the rg35xx with a cover. It really does not serve the market at all to wave around a dead product like this and try to make people feel like they missed out on something that no where near lives up to the expectations you are putting out there.
I’ve never had issues with the build quality. And they have been doing drops all this week on Ali express. I do love the RG35XX tho!
Thanks for watching!!
Wow these videos are top tier 👍
Many thanks!
The miyoo mini made me click, your production made me stay.
Thanks!! I appreciate it!
I'm quite interested in such a device, however, the shoulder button configuration just seems like a deal breaker for me.
Check out the Mini plus or RG35xx! Much better shoulder buttons!
one more question: where are people buying their Miyoo Mini nowadays (at an affordable price)? (or when will it be manufactured again?) the link you have is out of stock
The AliExpress site is the only place I’ve used to buy the Mini without a markup on the price. They do drops every now and then when they have stock. There’s a twitter account called Miyoo Mini Alerts (something like that) that will give you a heads up on when a new drop is coming!
@@matt_HM thanks good to know
Actually Miyoo Mini (Plus and v2/v4) support now NDS emulation, what a time to be alive for a 65$ handheld (Aliexpress)
It's great!
Wonderful video once again. The volume seems a bit too soft though. Might wanna make it a bit louder than usual.
Thanks! Everything overall or just the music?
@@matt_HM Everything overall. Still a fantastic video though!
Great video! I was wondering where you got the clear buttons for the blue mini? Thanks!
There should be a link in the description of the video!
I had one, too small. I have a rg35xx, seems big. Maybe the miyoo mini plus is better for me
Another amazing video Matt! Keep it up! And yes, I love my Miyoo mini as well.
Thanks a bunch!
I've got 2 coming in in a few says and I haven't been so excited for something since my steam deck
Hope you enjoy them!
I love my steam deck but my little myoo mini fits in my pocket and it's battery is great
