Russ is bar none, the best retro and emulation reviewer and guide for us on the retro emulation journey. I watch Retro Game Corps, even if I have no interest in the subject of the video, simply because Russ's script, pacing, information, and general knowledge are enthralling in their own right. Appreciate all of that you do for us!
Fully Agree!
We enjoy competence, of which he has an abundance.
Bingo. And a lot of times, I end up learning something applicable elsewhere anyways! For example, I’ve never Netplayed on RetroArch. Now I’ve gotten a tutorial from the best in the business!
Love the subtle digs at taki, that channel is so useless
@@Nexii801 no
I really like that you don't go scorched earth against companies. Communication, especially on a public level, is the only way to hold brands and companies accountable.
He called out Taki on this one
drider
"communication" is the reason these companies continue to screw the customer
Next week there will be another "oopsie" and more until reviewers actually grow a pair
@@phinyo2066 What happened?
my guy, it's a sponsored video
Man you are on such a different level than the other retro you tubers. Love it
I watch Russ religiously and feel classy. But when I'm drunk, i watch WulffDen and make poor online buying choices at 3am 😂🍷
please do keep making videos of small handhelds also! The big expensive ones are neat but half the charm is carrying a simpler smaller device with you anywhere.
If you look at the back catalogue of videos, there's no real fear Russ would lose interest in the more basic and the more portable devices. :) Of course with the Miyoo Mini Plus, we already have _the_ device for you vertical handheld needs. (Okay, they could make a Miyoo Maxi or Miyoo Mini Super Plus about the size of a DMG. I hope they don't, as I'd need to order one.)
But do we need so many? Hundreds of products and thousands of reviews… but how many of them are actually worth the cost?
@@mcgritty8842 Of course we don't need that many. But they will continue to make more of these, as long as they'll sell plenty of them. I think Russ should keep updated charts for different form factors/price points/emulation capability. Pretty sure _this_ sector is currently being served very well with the Miyoo mini Plus (and for some, the Anbernic RG 35XX), so hopefully they'll keep being produced.
Hey Russ, big props to you for your attitude towards the company and us, your viewers, communication and transparency is key and is always, always appreciated. That's why you're the best emulation TH-camr!
Really appreciate all the transparency around the various buying options and the journey you've gone on with them. 👍
Quickly climbing the ranks as one of my favorite retro game reviewers. Keep up the good work! 👍🏾
Alright, Russ, you proved me wrong. In my last comment, I thought I had nailed down your secret sauce to your talent for longer form content intrigue and thorough product investigation. But it turns out your secret sauce is your integrity. And your patience. And your caring. The way you handle your vendors (and the community that relies on you for your perspective) is awe inspiring. In a content creation era that incentivizes selling out (or more superficial, fly by night assessment), you continue to raise the bar in standards of quality and consideration. Bravo, brother, thank you for ALL that you do for the community! For all that we hear about, I imagine there’s so much more behind the scenes … like your comments on other TH-camr’s videos, for example. Love the playfulness and sense of community (referring to your comment on Bob’s video yesterday). You’re a class act and model for others!

@@itsjapanic hahaha-just showing due love, my friend. If you don’t believe me, keep scrolling, you’ll see. I’m not the only one singing Russ’ praises. This dude is doing it and I don’t mind letting him know his efforts are appreciated.
Who's Bob?
@@BrianJones-wk8cx I do believe you! Was just saying it was a good take :) I’ve watched plenty of his videos!
@@notMamdouhwe’re all bob
Thank you so much for your transparency with the Keep Retro topics. Most TH-camrs wouldn't have dared to call out someone they have a partnership with. I really like this channel and your knowledge on so many handhelds. Keep up the great work
Integrity, honesty, and sincerity -- truly what sets you apart.
Aww yis , I've been waiting the whole time for a video on online multiplayer for this thing , so excited , you go russ
Thanks so much for your honesty and keeping some of these companies honest! As you can see, we really appreciate you for all that you do, Russ. This looks awesome! I was a huge fan of the various 4 player arcade titles from the 90's; this makes me wish that I could get my wife more into retro gaming. She has been enjoying the Odin/Steam Deck for the obvious reasons, but she doesn't delve much into retro titles beyond excursions into Tetrisphere or other puzzle style games.
After tons of research I've just ordered two of these as my first foray into handheld retros... super excited!!
Thanks for an awesome share, I will deffo be playing the multi player option👍🏾🔥🔥 And well done for calling KR out. I don't car what anyone says, you are valuable to this community and you bring great value videos. So thanks bud👍🏾🔥
I've watched I don't even know how many of your videos - double digits easy, and only just now realized I wasn't subscribed.
Posting this here so other viewers remember to double check they've subscribed! Russ clearly puts in TONS of work to be as thorough and transparent as he is, so don't be like me and not be subbed for far too long.
Love the content Russ, would love to see more netplay tutorials on handhelds and even on pc too.
God bless you Russ, for getting behind the community and speaking up for what's right.
Thanks Russ. You're the man! Way to keep keep retro in check. Thanks for looking out for the little guy
Well done once again, sir. You are a pillar of our community.
I freakin' love netplay! And this is your best MM(+) video yet.
Finally someone covering the limitations and setup of multiplayer on wifi. Thank you
This is not easy info to find it seems yet you answered all my questions and added some gems that will save me hours if not days.
Kinda gutted the 2 device cores have to be identical but it makes perfect sense if they have to be able to sync perfectly.
I was really impressed with the latency. Couldn't even notice it until 3 devices were running and even then it wasn't a game stopper.
I absolutely LOVE your Elliott Smith "Figure 8" t-shirt!!!!!
I drove up to LA to visit that mural on the evening of his death (I was in my late teens). It was a somber visit but there were a bunch of other people there who had gathered to leave candles, letters, and other offerings for an impromptu memorial.
Anyways, love the work you do and so stoked to see that you're an E.S. fan as well.
My transparent purple Mini Plus arrived yesterday from KeepRetro and I am loving it so far.
Love your transparency in this video. You do great work!
Thank you for keeping the companies and brands you’re affiliated with, accountable. It really builds up trust in your viewers.
You’re the retrogaming GOAT. We love you, Russ!
Wow, thanks for all your effort in challenging third party sellers!! I’ve purchased the miyoo and was unaware of those policies, but it’s reassuring to know that customer service has improved
Super excited for this. Thanks for the break down. Also appreciate your addressing the KeepRetro policies situation. You rock!
Thanks Russ!
I wanted to grab another unit as a gift, but didn't want to deal with the old "when will they be in stock again" game. Your notification gave me a chance to grab that gift unit.
Thanks for this video! This may be the reason I get a couple Mini pluses! Cheers!
Three things. 1) I truly appreciate your honesty and integrity, not to mention your expertise. We’ve purchased a Miyoo Mini and two Pluses and successfully loaded them because of your channel. 2) We definitely intend to try two player mode. 3) And I apologize if I missed the answer, but will two player mode work on Atari 2600 games, like Combat?
Thanks for the video, I’m looking forward to trying this feature.
I actually got my transparent black miyoo mini+ in the mail yesterday, and on my birthday no less! It’s pretty amazing you can actually play with other people using retroarch, though I may need to introduce retro handhelds to friends just to want a player 2 for these games.
Happy belated birthday!
@@RetroGameCorps Thanks Russ, and keep up the good work!
Honestly if you want multiplayer it's probably better to do it on a TV. If you don't have a PC you can also just use an android device or something or even your phone and some wireless controllers.
It's a neat feature, but unless you have some kids who like to play with each other (or if he/she has a friend that also has this device), I don't think there's all that much use for multiplayer on these systems. At least practical usage. Of course if you really just want multiplayer on this device and have someone who wants to do ut with you, you can also use this.
What would be really cool, is PS1 emulation of the link cable (if you had, on the day, 2 PlayStation, 2 television sets and that Link cable, you could play against someone and have dedicated tv for each, no splitscreen needed), so that each player looks at his handheld as he looked at his own TV... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Link_Cable. Wipeout, someone?
Im still debating to pick one of these up. I dont need it but I really want one for both the collecting factor and the love for that gameboy form factor and style. Also I love your honesty and integrity Russ. This is my favorite channel covering retro handhelds
I picked one up! Even though I'll probably hardly use it, it's a cool looking handheld system with an upgraded screen to fit today's age! It is for sures a collector system that will hold with time, I believe.
I much prefer these videos than the other with the big expensive devices, those I can't afford after all 😁
most the stronger devices aren't portable either
Thank you man ! So fun to play coop with handhelds 🙌
Thanks man. I have 2 miyoos and didn't know multi-player was possible. I saw netplay on retroarch but I figured it didn't work!
Big support for this vid hope you talk about right to repair and stuff like that when it comes to these products.excited to see how keep retro responds
. I'm a supporter of the aokzoe 1 pro and I'm excited but I definitely have my concerns with the role out. Excited still!
Just copped 2 of these so hyped to play with them
I just 30 seconds ago ordered one I’m so exited 😊😊😊
You guys have the most detailed review videos on TH-cam. Here, take my Subs.
Thanks for looking out Russ.
Ur the Goat of the retro review game
I missed the boat on the first miyoo mini sadly but I'm happy with the miyoo plus and it shipped fast. Thought i'd never get one of these handhelds haha. I used the affiliate link, Thanks Russ!
This is a game changer! A huge selling point imo
Now this is a content creator I can get behind!
Hold your partners accountable, but also tell them how to improve their customer support to keep the customer's best interest in mind.
The RGC system works!
Hello Russ. Thanks for your video it's very helpful 👍
Keepretro took over 2 months to get me my purple miyoo mini plus
A month longer than it should
My only major gripe was the lack of communication
Thank God I didn't have any of the other issues with them
Please make a video about experience with the rog ally dock mode connect monitor, there is a lot of interest in the rog ally right now and it could attract new subscribers who like umpc stuff and you are the best reviewer to make this.
Russ, my utmost respect to you.
I love how you bring attention to this topic in a way that hollers to newbs, nerds, or anything that says go ahead and take my money cause I’m a sucker. Russ you da man! Listen fokes. I lived overseas for years and he hits it on the nose.
Great video as always friend. Something that be awesome to learn more about is how saves such as RAM and States get affected by multiplayer sessions?
Will this overwrite my offline game session with what ever was played during multiplayer?
Perhaps there will be a separate save file reserved for multiplayer only, etc..?
Also which emulator cores are the safest bet for compatibility and do each console system need to be kept in mind for various save settings?
Again, I'd appreciate a video guide where this can be referenced for whenever we need an answer about saves in multiplayer sessions :)
That's great customer service. Just the fact the listen Is amazing!
We love you, Russ!! Thanks!!
I have no idea if it's feasible, but I hope one day these retro portable emulations can emulate gb/gba link cable features.
I think the analogue pocket has something like that, not really an emulator and real expensive but you could look into that.
@@istvanwisse8264You're far better off getting the real systems and a link instead. It's both cheaper and a better experience.
Gb link is now supported for GB in Onion thanks to « TGB Dual » core.
It work very well even over the internet (but not for pokemon)
4:20 Good looking out Russ. You're a good dude.
i was just looking into this a few day ago thank you!
you have ... friends with VERY SAME handheld, very same OS, very same RETROgame interest?
Love the retro gray color!
Ow this is freaking awesome !
Russ is truly a man of the people
This video is amazing! I was wondering if there is a list for all the multiplayer games that can played between two Miyoo Mini +
One of the best vids on your channel. I'm so glad you told us about not being able to trade pokemon, I wander if there is any hack to do so?
Also such a cool thing to do regards keep retro policies
Amazing content, as per usual. Thank you, Russ! Is there ANY chance you could do a similar video for multi player on the RP3+/Flip devices???
Thank you again, sir.
Yeah, I've been playing multiplayer arcade and SNES games on the RP3+ through RetroArch, but I wonder if there's any other ways for other consoles haha. I tried Mario Party 2 thru Mupen64 FZ Pro LAN netplay and it works amazing.
Loving the Elliott Smith shirt. I had forgotten the Mini Plus even had netplay, this will be fun to get set up. Cheers, Russ!
Thanks, Figure 8 isn’t my favorite album (I think that would probably be New Moon if that counts, or S/T), but it has the nicest art thanks to that wall 😊
@Retro Game Corps hey bro. 13:13 you leaked your IP address, I suggest you censor it...
@@R.I.P._A.N.D._T.E.A.R. I appreciate the concern, but that's just a local IP address, when you see 192.168.86.XX like that it just means the locally-assigned serialized address from your router. If someone else were to connect their Miyoo Mini to their own router, it would be the same 192.168.86.XX structure. The real IP address, the one you wouldn't want to show to the public, is the one assigned from the ISP to the router/household.
Retro Game Corps oh ok. 👌 Just making sure you didn't leak your ip address
Good stuff! The retro grey MM+ is very enticing..
I'm a software Dev that's also a huge Elliott Smith fan. I think we could be pals. got one of these arrivign today. thanks for the vids!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, thank you! I've tried so hard to figure out how to get this to work on My Mini Plus!
you said it right Russ, we should prefer mature 3rd party resellers like Keepretro, rather than rewarding scalpers for their obnoxious way of taking advantage of others
I used your affiliate link to keepretro, i'm glad they changed the way they trade products. At the time of the first batches of the Mini, i had ordered a blue mini from them and within a week of arriving the screen showed visual problems such as multiple dark horizontal lines. After a few exchanges of emails, they practically didn't answer me anymore and so i bought a replacement screen on aliexpress, promising myself never to buy from them again. After what i heard in your video, however, i wanted to give them a second chance and bought two Mini plus.
Great vid dude! Would be cool if you could do a video on how to download GMU music player onto the Miyoo Mini, I feel like many ppl would love the added feature of a mp3 player to all the great features already on the MMP
I really like the burgandy buttons with the clear purple, Im gonna do that with my RP3+
Sincerely think it is very impressive that you've elected to take the time and energy to use your platform to actually influence some places to adopt better policies rather than just ignore and make whatever affiliate money you can or go scorched earth. Scorched earth is appropriate at times, but it often just doesn't do anything. This approach takes more work but results in change.
Not all heroes wear capes. Russ is one of them.
Miyoo mini plus is my go too for retro gba/gb/gbc and some ps1 also that onion os is so 🔥🔥
I got the Miyoo Mini Plus as an impluse buy, but dang if I don't really like it. Putting Onion OS just elevates it to another level. I love that you can just switch games on the fly.
Now to find friends to do multiplayer with! ;)
Love the video!
Would love to know what core you use for SNES. Unfortunately, the stock one isn’t compatible with retro achievements. I’ve been using snes9x 2005 plus, but curious if you had a preference.
That's so cool feature. Ninja Turtles would also be a cool game to play in 4 player mode
Nice shirt. Your credibility has improved even further than great.
What a time to be alive
Awesome Elliott Smith shirt! I visited this wall in the late 2000's.
That's awesome! I have sadly never visited it, I was actually in LA for a few weeks last year and it didn't hit me until after I was back home :(
@@RetroGameCorps ahh hope you can get there someday.
I don’t know if I’m in the minority or majority in this but, I absolutely love the nostalgic look the LED light bleed that the transparent models have. I just ordered the purple transparent model, I’m super excited for it to show up.
Great video! I wonder if there's a way to play on multiplayer but with a MM+ and a RG35XX. I know it sounds insane, but if they're able to read each other's sd card, why not?
Great content! Will the Simpsons still stutter when being played only by 2 players? What other console would you recommend to use to avoid the stutter when connecting 4 players? Thank you in advance.
I'm happy to report that it has been available for $39 lately, instead of being unavailable and expensive like it was last year. Sweet little console, at a sweet little price.
great video as always. I feel like I'm missing something, do you have to do all the work around stuff every time or is it a one time thing? I wanted to get 2 of these so me and my daughter can play together but it will be hard to have her do this everytime. (shes 8)
This thing looks like it would be cheaper due to it's size but it's not, because of the large aftermarket support. I've looked into getting one before, but it doesn't look that comfortable for me to justify the purchase. Looks really nice though. I like the vertical look, I found all thee retro handheld youtubers looking for one. When I was a kid, in between that period before the dmg (couldn't find one anywhere) and the pocket, I think I even called nintendo a few times from the toilet like, "where's the new gameboy you guys want my money or nah" And then I got this glorious transparent yellow vomit thing. I loved that thing. I can defintiely remember playing games to street lights passing by.
Great video
I was wondering when you were gonna be doing one on multilayer in retro gaming. Also, are any of the other devices or consoles you've so far covered able to crossplay or cross interact in any way?
I ordered the purple miyoo mini plus a while back, and when it arrives I've just thought about figuring out a way to darken/tint the purple case a bit, i think it would help a bit.
Dude I love you
It took about three months till I got my Miyoo Mini Plus from KeepRetro, I was annoyed with how long it took. However, they kept their website up to date and informed their clients of when to expect shipments to happen. So take it as a grain of salt.
That purple one looks like a first batch model. The second batch black and purples are less transparent and has been discussed on Reddit with some photos of each. It’s not a huge difference IMO but just sharing what I’ve seen.
Hey Russ, thanks for this video. I followed it and was able to start a game with my friend playing streets of rage 2. Everything was fine going through stage 1 but second player seems to disconnect somewhere around stage 2. This happened more than once at different parts of the game/stage. I didn't time it but based on feel disconnects happened after about 10 minutes of gameplay. Do you know what might be wrong, or what I can try to fix it?
awesome! please, make a ftp guide!
Amazing content!! I’m a noob and am wondering….
Do I have to download onion in order to play multiplayer? Or, if I buy two of these, can I just use whatever os it comes with?
now im gonna buy 4 of these so me and my friends can play amazing mirror together
So for SNES I’ve followed your instructions, I can get the other mini to connect to the host mini for like a second and then it just disconnects. I used the same core you recommended and even went through the list just to see but haven’t been able to get it to actually work
I like the Transparent Black and Game boy Gray Colors and in that order ! However, I did not feel how good the texture is on the non-transparent ones as you said Russ I might even change my mind if I felt the Game Boy gray model as my first and transparent black as my second.
That is mad dope shit there, awesome 👍😎👍
I think a cool addition here would a portable router running on a battery. Fire it up anywhere and create a mobile LAN.
Could you do this same video with the different options Retroid has for multiplayer? I saw it mentioned on your old rp2 video, never saw anyone go into detail for it since then
Would love a detailed look into it in particular with your quality
Edit: question is there any way for 2 devices to link to one computer such as steam link?
And on that tangent anything like emulating via a link like that for 2nd gamepad screen Wii U like Nintendo land?
