    Onion OS is the game-changer for me, the ease of shutdown saves, etc.. Software really matters. I may enjoy fiddling at first but at the end of the day the more seamless experience is better, especially in handhelds that are pocketable / all about convenience.

    • @sunnygalli
      @sunnygalli 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

    You're right about the Miyoo Mini Plus' d-pad and buttons. They're so comfortable, I can play almost anything with little to no struggle. The only time I may have a bit of difficulty is with a few fighting games, but that's only a small gripe. Also, as someone with big hands, I'm surprised how my hands adjusted to the Miyoo Mini Plus' size. I'm happy to say that I have no buyer's remorse in making it my first retro handheld.

    I feel like you should have covered how easily these fit in your pocket, I think most people who want a portable emulator care about how easy it is to take this with you. Also it’s worth noting that if you want the most powerful device for portable emulation those tend to come in the horizontal form factor. Not in a vertical one like these.

    For me personally, for PS1 downwards, I much prefer my Miyoo Mini than all of these. I only really want to pick up and play in situations like waiting for a train, or travelling. If I want to actually game, I’m gonna want something with a bit more grunt, and comfort, with dual sticks (Retroid pocket 3+, and soon 4).
    I’d love to get a Steam Deck for emulation, but that’s one chunky boy to take out.
    Out of these I love the build quality of the Miyoo, and I’d probably go for the most comfortable/longest battery in the end.

    All of these are available for good prices on AliExpress right now so I've decided to treat myself - kept changing my mind throughout the video but it's hard to beat the value of the R36S when it's the cheapest of the 4 yet also has the power to do a good amount of N64 and PSP, for which the sticks will be a useful addition. I don't like how cheap and flimsy it looks but I don't think any of these are really built to last, hopefully the market continues to grow and we'll be upgrading to something even better at a similar price point within the next couple of years.

    I have the original 35xx and I bought an r36s for a friend and after setting it up, it's really hard not to order one for myself. I think the build quality and buttons are better on the 35xx, but the 36s is just the exact right size for my hands and I personally like the way the screen and bezel looks. For $40 the 36s is really just a crazy value.

    About the RG35XX +, one thing first: do NOT order the ambernic case, it's just bigger than it needs to be - actually the miyoo mini plus case is a near perfect fit (and much cheaper).
    The 35xx+ dpad feels slightly smaller than the MM+'s, but still quite comfortable - I like the texture (the perfect handheld dpad would be for me similar to the MM+'s, with the texture of the retroid pocket 2+). The device itself is definitely more comfortable than the MM+ for games using the shoulder buttons (been testing some F-Zero).
    Quite happy with this new purchase, and eagerly looking forward to future garlic OSs updates - once it's as convenient as the miyoo with onion, the bump in power will be a joy.

    It's funny that you considered that the software experience is unimportant. Personally, I considered that performance is actual unimportant at this price point. All of these systems aren't going to be good for anything that require more power (N64, PSP, DS, etc.) anyway due to the lack of joysticks (except the R36S) and touchscreen.
    And in this form factor, the most important aspect is how good the system is as a pocketable pick-up and play handheld. That's why the Miyoo Mini Plus got so popular. It's because of the Onion OS. It's just quick and easy to pick up and continue playing.
    imo, people who are looking for more power should just save their money and buy a more expensive handheld like the Retroid Pocket 3+ or RG505 (or RG405). They will have a much better experience with those devices. Wanting to play more demanding systems at this price point is just asking for headaches and buyer remorse.

    If I was purchasing one of these to fulfill the needs of an EDC pocketable device, I would go with the Miyoo Mini Plus. It's as tiny as I'd ever want to go, the software is mature and rock solid, there's wifi for RetroAchievements, and it's cheap. There's nothing extraneous that adds to the size or price like the R36S's analog sticks or RG35XX Plus's extra power.

    @jakontolovsky 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I currently am ordering RGXX+ after testing one of my acquaintances own unit because rather than OS or Power, I really choose base on the feel of the controls base on my own preference. I do prefer horizontal handhelds like Powkiddy X55 because it's less crampy but out of all the vertical retrohandhelds that are cheap-ish(below 70 USD), XU10 is my favorite thus far because of the controls. Unfortunately it is Rk3266s. No CFW support currently and I am doubtful there'd be one in the near future.

    GPU or no GPU the Miyoo is the only correct answer! No matter the question asked⁉️ Okay I'm joking/being sarcastic with the last part but Software > Hardware (in this special case/instance)
    Unbelievable handheld, best buttons, best screen, unreal experience, just on a different level. I mean completely different level! What works on it works well, and it works better than the others, plus if you u have Onion or Koriki which I use the experience is just incomparable 😊 With Koriki 1.4 every system has a overlay perfectly catered/tweaked for each & every system, so perfect, the games just look & play better than anything else, even the Steam Deck Oled! Best to try for yourself, don't let any of these videos sway you 😊
    So yh if you have other more powerful handhelds that you use to play the more powerful systems then the Miyoo Mini is the one 😊

      As for PS1 performance I guarantee you that the ePSXe emulator in the expert section in Onion plays PS1 better than any of them! Don't believe me try it, test it, enjoy!
      It's my favourite way to play PS1 games especially those that don't require triggers, it looks & plays the better than many other more powerful handhelds. I use the scanlines option (hidden gem like the standalone emulator itself) and I turn up the scanline brightness setting to about 75), there are 2 filters (eagle2x,scale2x), all this is subjective but when it comes to gameplay experience it's undeniable, unmatched. Remember no GPU + being underpowered etc..
      Learn how to use the settings
      It's easy
      Next make a few changes
      Double the resolution + the hack on
      Audio interpolation I use Gaussian
      But simple is fine too
      No frame skip for most titles
      For more powerful games
      Use Auto Frame skip
      This frameskip is different
      Works differently
      It works smoothly
      Like many of these reviewers I got the 35xx plus early to test, it's nice but I still prefer the Miyoo. I have all them all, I test many.

    I'm just waiting for the next actual premium handled in the form factor is the 353v/r36. With something like the hall sticks and chipset of the 405m, maybe even its screen (but not the big chungus form factor of the 405v) or even the beefier chipset from the rp4 pro. I like the small, one hand-able form factor of the 35xx. I want one that's just a bit more powerful but can do the full n64 and dreamcast library at least, but enough power to handle the ps2 rpg's would be awesome too (the rp4 pro is the only one that can handle wild arms 3) and I like the small form factor that can fit in my uniform pants pocket while I wait for a bed at the hospital with a stable patient.
    The 35xx plus is tempting, I would like it's ability to upscale some ps1 games like chrono cross (the 35xx can't) but the stock OS just... looks kinda bad.
    I don't even really care about price. I want the form factor and am willing to shell out for performance. 353v, better build quality, more horsepower. Gimme that.

  • @Zirus_Blackheart
    @Zirus_Blackheart หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    1 Thing you didn't mention, which noone ever does and is really important to me.
    Time between the on button being pressed and being back into game via the latest savestate and how fast does it shutdown.
    For this the miyoo mini (and +) running onion is superb because if you're playing and turn it off it makes a savestate, and shuts down in less than 3 seconds and turning on takes 7 second and it boots directly back into game using that save state. For a handheld thats small enough to vanish in your pocket so i can carry permanently on me and use to fill in those little boring gaps in life like bus stops or waiting in line to get a coffee is incredibly important for it if you ask me,
    The other point is how fast can you change game to one you were playing b4 or recently and again, with the most recent savestate booted its fantastic too. To go back and forth between 2 games takes less than 2 seconds and for any recent game up for the last 20 odd is 3 to a few seconds as you just open the menu and select which all happens super quick.
    I'd really like to know how other handhelds stack up to that :-)

    I'm honestly expecting the next wave of handheld emulators to all have sticks like the R36S, I'm slightly confused why the RG35XX doesn't have them, especially since the whole point of these devices is the convenience of being able to play a majority of supported games fully without having to jump extra hoops, wich include having to connect controllers.
    A good friend of mine which showed interest in these his whole standpoint was that the fact he was interested in a handheld what would be able to emulate up to N64 if not more and be able to play those games without having to break the bank and having to connect a controller.

Ended up buying a Miyoo Mini Plus a week later for $40 from black Friday deals. Now I'm just waiting for it to arrive and hopefully I get what I ordered this time. Good side about the the r36s though I'll say is the retroarch like experience which I'm used to from the retroid pocket 3 and the screen.
