Great review! I want one but I need to know is this ready to play out the box? I don’t own a computer or are very tech savvy. I just want to play gba, gbc and some arcade games. Someone let me know please and thank you
Hey! I appreciate the comment. Yup, it's ready to play out of the box. The Custom OS that I installed isn't necessary, but a "nice to have" with some quality of life improvements and a slight bump in performance.
This is my first handheld emulator ever, and I love it. I had to muck around a ton more to get it doing what I wanted to, and I found out there's something called the "Tiny Best Set", which is basically a collection of good games and it's associated BIOS files and everything else, and it's designed to work specifically with OnionOS and GarlicOS. It was what finally got FFVII and FFVIII on my MM+.
I am fully convinced that one of the reasons why the Miyoo is successful is because of the name. It just sounds like a legit product not a random number code.
I bought the original mini (the small one) and fell in love with it so much that I bought extras just to give away. They are excellent gifts for friends and family. Just set it up in advance. I used MiniUI because it is very simple and barebones compared to OnionOS
This is my first retro handheld and, while I played a lot of retro games growing up, it is my first time revisiting them like this. Really enjoying the experience.
Incredible video! I just so happened to order mine last night, I got the 128gb version since I don’t know how to mess with adding games etc so I’ll just enjoy what’s on there til I know how to mess with that stuff. It’ll be my first mini console since the GameBoy Advanced SP so I’m absolutely excited for it!
Thanks! It's a really nice little handheld. I'm hoping that Onion OS keeps getting more updates. The custom OS is a much better experience for me, personally. And it's easy to install.
@Baldly Rudy No problem! I absolutely love the OS, as well as how convenient it'll be to update, so that was a huge plus for me. Do you also by any chance download your own games and if so what's a reliable site you'd recommend?
Got mine last week and installed onion os and man it’s so much fun my 7 year old loves it seeing him play games I used to play love it. Machine is a beast fun screen is beautiful
got my RG35XX last week and loving it but i just couldn't resist the charm of the mini plus and got one and i love it, even though the differences aren't huge i just love the kawaii effect about the Miyoo mini plus, so much that i ordered a second one and waiting for the original mini to come back again at the end of June
Unfortunately none of the retroarch cores support this it’s a limitation within retroarch and not the Miyoo. But I hope someone could enable it since it’s possible in standalone mGBA.
most anbernic device suport cross link u can jump in someones game i seen someone play sonic and nuckles 2 players with 2 anbernic devices hooked up wirlessless and they also traded pokemon and battled i dont think miyoo has this feature yet sinse anerbic is open sorce and they develope all this stuff on them using retro arch
Broke into the world of emulation handhelds about a month ago… it’s so addicting!!! Great video man I have some higher end handhelds but still absolutely love my Miyoo Mini +
Glad you got your hands on it, agree with most of your thoughts here. Here is hoping that both Ambernec and the Miyoo budget lineup improve in the next release.
MinUI for the rg35xx and DotUI for the MM+ are my favorite custom firmwares. After years of frustration using retroarch on PC, I truly appreciate simplicity.
Finally received mine a few days ago. Can confirm that the d-pad is far superior to the one on the rg35xx (my one at least). I can actually play games that register diagonal inputs now.
Yuuuuup. People mentioned that in my other video and it's crazy how much better the D-Pad is on the Miyoo Mini Plus when compared to the RG35XX. It's a night and day difference.
@@baldlyrudyI think my unit was particularly bad, anything that registered diagonals was pretty much unplayable. But yeah, it's a widespread issue. Shame as I liked everything else about it.
Dang. That sucks. I know there's a fix with electrical tape that I've seen online, but you shouldn't have to do that. It should work properly out of the box.
@@baldlyrudy I may well do the fix at some point, in fact i probably would have, had the MM+ not been announced very shortly after i got the rg35xx. But like you said, I shouldn't have to.
i grew up in a poor household, i never had the majority of games i wanted to play. i got into emulation as a gift for my younger self. i might be too old to spend this much time playing games and tinkering with this stuff, but the child inside of me isn't and he deserves that joy. i'm finally going to play modnation on PSP 😂
I was the same way. I grew up in a poor household. I'm grateful for what my parents got me, but there were a ton of games that I missed out on in my childhood. This all has allowed me to experience games I would've missed out on entirely.
I grabbed one for $90 off Amazon. I'd say it's worth it. I was considering turning an old Wii into an emulation machine, but this saves all that hassle. I'd still like one that can play stuff beyond PS1 though. Probably get an Anbernic since they do the HDMi out.
Bought a miyo mini + a couple of weeks ago, the retro colour one. I love it updated it to onion 4.2.3 and it,s been great very stable and games work flawless
I have been enjoying the heck out of myioo mini +. Installed onion os, and have been enjoying the process of learning how to convert files so they can run on the myioo. Although my hands are pretty much to big for the shoulder buttons. It's still a great escape from my phone while sitting in the car waiting for the wife. Or in idle times. Big thumbs up for this one.
Looks cool. I don’t have a computer and even if i did, i’d have no clue how to put other games on it. I’ve always strayed away from anything you upload games on. I’m old school and like putting the carts into my SNES and playing on a CRT TV.🎉
My comment made it into a youtube video ! look mom I'm on youtube ! \o/ but yeah I also would prefer the Miyoo Mini Plus over the 35XX, even though I actually think both are great, the Mini Plus just wins out slightly in terms of features and comfort for me. I'm glad u like it !
If you don't like the transfer speeds, a good use of wifi is the http file server. It's also the only way to transfer files from a phone unless you have some wacky adapter
I got my miyoo mini plus a couple weeks back and it did come with a case that holds the device plus all the accessories. It’s not some cheap case either, it’s molded specifically for the unit.
Not a dumb question at all. To answer your question, it does. The two that I've purchased came with thousands of games. I'd definitely recommend going with a new microSD card though (SanDisk or Samsung are great). The cards that they ship with tend to fail easily and are pretty slow.
@nofinglimit you're going to have to transfer the old files to the new card. But everything should work just fine. If you're up for it, I'd also recommend installing Onion OS.
I got the original miyoo mini v2. I totally love it but it is a little small. I just got the miyoo mini plus (in purple) and it's a much more comfortable system. 😊
I was able to grab one off of Temu for a significantly cheaper price of $33, along with another item to be able to get the deep discount. I was so sad to sell my modded GBA plus my GameBoy series collection when I was going through tough financial times last year, but I'm happy to have the Miyoo Mini Plus to fill the void of not having my GBA and games around anymore.
Just received my miyoo, can confirm, it's the real deal! I did forget to mention that I did opt-out of the cheap memory card, hence the cheapest price. Ended up adding my own games myself and installed OnionOS while I was at it. Still got a ways to go with adding the CD-based titles, but I'm happy with the result.
Nice! Miyoo products should be handled with great care, due to their exceptional fragility. The third-party 'Onion OS' is the best feature of Miyoo. The default OS (Miyoo OS) wasn't very good. 😀
Thanks for the video! Great test. How about C64 and Amiga? Is it possible to play these systems according to usability? How about setup with keypad for this systems?
in Amazon at the description of the product where says "Brand". It most say miyoo? or its something that doesn't matter like in the vid at 1:38 ????? tnx
Got one, installed onion immediately and it's perfect for me. Wifi OTA updates, good game switcher, works amazing. I also love that I can use WinSCP to connect to and install roms without taking the SD card out.
I have a lot of standart popular hanhelds like 3ds, DS, Switch, PS Vita, PSP etc... But rg35xx and MM+ is my favorite, because its really pocket and mobile console. It really can be everywhere with you.
I got one just the other day and mine came with a case! Not sure why yours didn't, but I thought I'd leave a comment in case that's a dealbreaker for someone.
It depends on what you want out of the handheld. A lot of people that have the RG35XX love the HDMI out. For me, I like the Miyoo Mini Plus more at this point. I'm going to be working on a video comparing the two.
@@baldlyrudy I love having the HDMI out as an *option*. Maybe I’ll use it someday. In reality, I just enjoy playing some Mario while in bed before going to sleep. It is why I bought it.
I have the rg35xx and mm+ and rg405m the mm+ is my edc and goes with me if something happened to it I would buy another asap. Great review. And don’t get me started on mods it’s addictive
I'm a fan of the Mario games from NES and SNES, MegaMan and MegaMan X games, Sonic, Earthworm Jim, Golden Sun, and so much more. This little thing is a beast.
The 3DS is something that I definitely want to mod and get up and running. I have a spare that I want to give a go to. But yeah, out of the two I'd say Miyoo Mini Plus.
My son had the Rg35xx for 3 days and he dropped it and the screen broke. He didn't drop it from high, like couch height. It didn't land on the screen, but somehow the center of the screen was broken.
I have both the original and the plus version, love them both. I have put the OnionOs on both as well. They are amazing little handhelds for the money. Their size makes them perfect for gaming on the go. The build quality is nice and sturdy as well.
i have thee miyoo mini and i never touch it it was just a fun gimic but honestly its just to small to enjoy or take serious i got the miyoo mini plus and the anbernic 35xx and at first i liked the myoo more but after better firmwares have came out for 35xx it left the miyoo mini plus in the dirt
It looks cool but I bet my 20 dollar psp does everything that can. Plus I installed a 4400 mah battery. So many hours of nostalgia. Great video. Maybe I'll find one on ebay in a few years cheap. 👍
@@baldlyrudy well for a while id be lazy and just stick to stock os tbh. Mainly just want to emulate gameboy games like fire red. Also want to play snes.
@@JoJoBon miyoo mini plus perfect size I have fat hands still comfortable and the Wi-Fi ota updates is awesome . I haven’t had any issues yet but my rg35xx had dead pixels and the screen popped out good thing I used amazon got another one in one day pay the extra just for ease or replacement.
I was excited to get my Anbernic in, unfortunately it was super uncomfortable to use and ended up sending it back to get the Retroid Pocket 3+. Much better imo especially for long play
Hi, I'm completely neew to this whole handheld thing but some of my fondest memories were my first ever horizontal purple and grey gameboy and want to buy one of these handhelds. Anyone have any recommendations how to do everything?
Yes, but use a PC to do it. Yes, on a PC. I believe so. Most of the time it's drag and drop. Go to the link in the description where there's a wiki that covers the types of ROMs you need and where to put them.
Right now, the Miyoo Mini Plus. At the same time, I'm probably still in the honeymoon phase of having it. I'm going to make a comparison video, but it'll be after I've had some time with it. I want to be honest with my comparison and as unbiased as possible.
I already own Steam Deck but this really looks tempting! Even if it would sit just on shelf for the nostalgia factor :D With WiFi and Usb-C it seems almost perfect but it doesn't seem to have bluetooth though? That would be quite handy for all wireless headphones nowadays. Great review though! I think your video easily sells the quality of the screen and product itself way better than those online store pictures.
lol that ramon comment was funny. build quality is worse on anbernic than miyoo? if i remember correct, there where dozenz of people dropping their miyoo mini from 20cm and the screen broke. also many reviewers stated the build quality on the rg35xx was better than miyoo mini/+. and since i own both rg35xx and og miyoo mini, i agree with the thesis, that miyoo mini just feels cheaper. i still love both since the mini is so much smaller, but its definitly less durable.
Everytime I pick up my gameboy... I set it right back down because I can't stand how small it is now compared to when I was a kid.... it really blows but my phone and the razer kishi makes a great handheld
@Baldly Rudy I got my kishi for $20 bucks from someone who bought it and didn't like it. Maybe one day if the backbone goes on a good sale or something I might get one and try it out. I've heard alot of great things about it but $100 is a bit much for me
Loving it although they have a basic issue, the card that comes with is not formatted to fat32, after first start miyo will stop reading,you will need to reformat and all the roms will be gone, you have down load and flash again, but love it
Miyoo Mini Plus i got mine about $60 tax $65 from china? i bought the purple color? can see the inside cpu? took a few weeks to come? cant believed they dont have snes or nes games? Anbernic RG35XX, which i dont have? they both look the same almost the device? i wish u can play on the tv? the battery die fast if you're not playing it?
I got my white on on ebay for $196AUD with the 128gb memory card, carry case etc. Its coming in the mail tomorrow. Then i found the purple one on temu for $128 aud so i have ordered that for my brother for his birthday, his comes with 64gb sd card and a case also. Lucky i found his as ibe found purple is sold out everywhere. I dont mind spending more on mine. Ive also found out a few have bought a new brand name sd card and installed onion os on it and transferred the games from the cheap sd card over. As the sd card it comes with corrupts very easily.
@@baldlyrudyalso the stock micro sd card reader is capped at like 15 mb/s just switching the card reader to a better one gets the stock sd card to read faster, but even then the card doesn’t compare to like a v30 a2/3 from a reliable company. Also ps1 games are weird (at least if you use bin or cue files) on onion OS. They dont show up at all on the quick boot and i gotta go into retroarch to boot them

This is my first handheld emulator ever, and I love it. I had to muck around a ton more to get it doing what I wanted to, and I found out there's something called the "Tiny Best Set", which is basically a collection of good games and it's associated BIOS files and everything else, and it's designed to work specifically with OnionOS and GarlicOS. It was what finally got FFVII and FFVIII on my MM+.
Ooooooo. I've gotta check that out. So far I've been absolutely enjoying my time with this handheld.

yo this reply should be pinned. it will help so many people.
Thank you for sharing this information!
I am fully convinced that one of the reasons why the Miyoo is successful is because of the name. It just sounds like a legit product not a random number code.
tell that sony lol
lmao no it’s because the cool design w tiny bezels or amount of emulators no one cares it’s called “miyoo”💀💀
It’s a play on words bro referring to Nintendo Wii U
@@ZwaetschgeRaeuber do you mean?
I picked the Miyoo because of the screen. Also love how tiny it is.

Well, this is the first time I've brought a bit of kit to emulate and it was because of your vid so thanks. Really hope it's as good as it looks 🤞😬🤞
Let me know how it goes! I've enjoyed gaming on the Miyoo Mini, and OnionOS added a lot to it.
Will do, got to get my head around installing Onion but it should be fine.

So far, I'm right there with you. I've heard some stories of handhelds falling apart while gaming.
Exceptional fragility is an exaggeration imo. I haven’t been precious with mine and it’s never had any issues.
I've got the original and must of put in 250+ hours taken it out with me and never had any issue, same condition as I bought it ...
i wonder if there’s mods to get a better quality shell?
Been playing Pokemon unbound on the Miyoo Mini + at home and at work. It's great. Its like a 3rd option for when I don't want to bring my Steam Deck
Yeah dude! It's a no brainer for playing older titles in a smaller form factor. I love mine. I might get one for my son.

You can ftp into it without taking the card out. Even using your phone (at least on Android)

How is a nodded DS not fulfill that criteria besides not playing Ps1 or n64
I got one just the other day and mine came with a case! Not sure why yours didn't, but I thought I'd leave a comment in case that's a dealbreaker for someone.
You're the second person to say this. I'm guessing I just got screwed.
I got a case too.
As owner of both Anbernic devices and Miyoo, can set what Miyoo Mini Plus is one of the best (and fast) compact pocket 4:3 devices around, now
As of right now, I'm right there with you.
@@baldlyrudy yes, very small and fast! And wonderfully not so expensive
@@baldlyrudy also, Onion have a built-in WiFi manager to upload the roms.
Directly via browser
On your point about the case: if you order at keep retro you get a nice free case, not as cute as the one of the original though
I ended up finding a seller on AliExpress that had them. Cost me ~$7.
love mine! Anyone know when the newest onion os will be out of beta?
Keeping an eye out on that 4.2 came out not too long ago, no?
@@baldlyrudy If im looking correctly, for the miyoo mini plus we are still in beta.
Correct.
The Trimui Smart Brick is the one to look out for!
Has that been released yet?
@@baldlyrudy It has not been released yet, but I hope it happens soon because I love the whole concept of the Trimui Smart Brick.
I’ve been really happy with the RG35XX. Is the Myoo Mini+ a better experience?
It depends on what you want out of the handheld. A lot of people that have the RG35XX love the HDMI out. For me, I like the Miyoo Mini Plus more at this point. I'm going to be working on a video comparing the two.
@@baldlyrudy I love having the HDMI out as an *option*. Maybe I’ll use it someday.
In reality, I just enjoy playing some Mario while in bed before going to sleep. It is why I bought it.
I have both, alternate between the 2 when the battery runs out, and for me personally I prefer the XX hands down.
Looking to invest in my first ever hand held. Looking to play games from the early days of 8bit all the way up to DS and PSP. Any recommendations?
Hey! Right now I'm messing with the RG405M and RG405V. Both are pretty great with PSP and DS. They're around $140-$160 IIRC.
I have the rg35xx and mm+ and rg405m the mm+ is my edc and goes with me if something happened to it I would buy another asap. Great review. And don’t get me started on mods it’s addictive
Appreciate the comment! Oh yeah. I can definitely see this being a rabbit hole. 😅
This is dope! I already have a steam deck with emulators, and a homebrew 3ds that i use. 😊 love playing old games
Can you explain how to save games in your favorites? I've been trying to figure this out with no luck.
Hello mate. Can you please recommend some games that work great on the Miyoo Min +. Maybe some that done already come pre-loaded?
I'm a fan of the Mario games from NES and SNES, MegaMan and MegaMan X games, Sonic, Earthworm Jim, Golden Sun, and so much more. This little thing is a beast.
Are there Pokemon games out of the box?
Yup
Do you like this better or the RG35XX?
Maaaaaaaybe.
I'm kidding, I do. D-pad and WiFi are a big plus, IMO. Also the ergonomic shoulder buttons are great.
I keep going back and forth between wanting one of these and borrowing my friends 3DS indefinitely lol. They look so cool. So affordable too.
The 3DS is something that I definitely want to mod and get up and running. I have a spare that I want to give a go to. But yeah, out of the two I'd say Miyoo Mini Plus.
I imagine buying this and emulating Golden Sun on here is a quicker strategy than Nintendo will drip feed it to you.
I just got mine an hour ago (set up a good sd card) and it runs great. Even without onion os, it's pretty good.
Nice! Congrats! Are you going to install OnionOS?
@@baldlyrudy I was going to, but it's too much of a hassle. I'll just stick with the stock os.
@vladimirputin7287 fair.
Hello,
Does the original Mario Bros from NES come installed on the stock os?
Yes, but it's the 25th anniversary.
My son had the Rg35xx for 3 days and he dropped it and the screen broke. He didn't drop it from high, like couch height. It didn't land on the screen, but somehow the center of the screen was broken.
Damn. Do you think a case would've helped? I'm asking because I'm afraid of my son doing the same thing.
Can I play the old Pokémon games on this one? Like ruby red and sapphire. All those goodies??
Oh yeah. Definitely.
Love my Miyoo!!!
I have both the original and the plus version, love them both. I have put the OnionOs on both as well. They are amazing little handhelds for the money. Their size makes them perfect for gaming on the go. The build quality is nice and sturdy as well.
Couldn't agree more.
i have thee miyoo mini and i never touch it it was just a fun gimic but honestly its just to small to enjoy or take serious
i got the miyoo mini plus and the anbernic 35xx and at first i liked the myoo more but after better firmwares have came out for 35xx it left the miyoo mini plus in the dirt
For the RG35XX, are you talking about stock OS or Garlic OS?
As someone who has played both a ton i toally agree with you Mc Nugget!
Can the brand displaying in the corner be turned off? Thanks!
It looks cool but I bet my 20 dollar psp does everything that can. Plus I installed a 4400 mah battery. So many hours of nostalgia. Great video. Maybe I'll find one on ebay in a few years cheap. 👍
Cant decide between the rg35xx or this. never had any emulation device which do u reccomend for the best experience?
Hmm...depends on what you want to emulate more of? Also, it depends on whether or not you keep the stock OS or install a custom one.
I bought both
@@baldlyrudy well for a while id be lazy and just stick to stock os tbh. Mainly just want to emulate gameboy games like fire red. Also want to play snes.
@@solomonkane408 which do you prefer yourself?
@@JoJoBon miyoo mini plus perfect size I have fat hands still comfortable and the Wi-Fi ota updates is awesome . I haven’t had any issues yet but my rg35xx had dead pixels and the screen popped out good thing I used amazon got another one in one day pay the extra just for ease or replacement.
Is it preloaded with games?
Yup
Just purchased one thanks for the video. Cant wait until dec 16 😂
@notnull01 you're welcome! Enjoy it. It's good times!
I was excited to get my Anbernic in, unfortunately it was super uncomfortable to use and ended up sending it back to get the Retroid Pocket 3+. Much better imo especially for long play
once u install onion os, do you lose all the roms that come with the console?
Technically, no. But I would still create a backup of them in case you run into any issues.
Hi, I'm completely neew to this whole handheld thing but some of my fondest memories were my first ever horizontal purple and grey gameboy and want to buy one of these handhelds. Anyone have any recommendations how to do everything?
do Any of these have actual android web browser? or even 5g so i can just use one as my phone?
Nope. This runs a version of Linux and doesn't have an actual browser per say. There may be a way to hack it to do so, but I haven't looked into it.
Is it possible to add my own roms to the mini? And delete Roms I do not want? Is it fairly easy? What type of Roms do I need.
Yes, but use a PC to do it.
Yes, on a PC.
I believe so. Most of the time it's drag and drop.
Go to the link in the description where there's a wiki that covers the types of ROMs you need and where to put them.
@Baldly Rudy Thankyou
Welcome. Happy gaming! 🙌
Would you say this or the RG35XX after using both?
Right now, the Miyoo Mini Plus. At the same time, I'm probably still in the honeymoon phase of having it. I'm going to make a comparison video, but it'll be after I've had some time with it. I want to be honest with my comparison and as unbiased as possible.
so the real question is, can the emulators run the cheat codes like game genie and whatnot
I emulate on a steam deck right now and I’m looking into something like this for gameboy and more “pocketable” portable games
That pretty much does the job. With Onion OS, you can load in your Retro Achievements account.
I already own Steam Deck but this really looks tempting! Even if it would sit just on shelf for the nostalgia factor :D With WiFi and Usb-C it seems almost perfect but it doesn't seem to have bluetooth though? That would be quite handy for all wireless headphones nowadays.
Great review though! I think your video easily sells the quality of the screen and product itself way better than those online store pictures.
Thanks bud! Much appreciated.
Nope. This doesn't have Bluetooth. Only a 3.5mm jack.
Ty sir
Np
What colour should I get!!!?
I like the black one. It's a little transparent, but not too much.
@@baldlyrudy hi. Do you know the difference in the 32g vs 64g vs 128g? Or is there just lots of duplicates? Thanks
Personally, I'd go for the smallest size and get a better card. The one it ships with is pretty cheaply made.
Also Google "Tiny Best Set" to see a solid list for the handheld.
Can you connect it to blutooth earphones?
Negative. You need to use wired headphones.
@@baldlyrudy thanks! 🙏
You're welcome. 👍
Imagine having this device in the 80's 🙂
It would've been mind-blowing.
Does it have California games? That's what I want to know
Picked one up off amazon for £68 last weekend
Nice! What are your thoughts on it?
lol that ramon comment was funny. build quality is worse on anbernic than miyoo? if i remember correct, there where dozenz of people dropping their miyoo mini from 20cm and the screen broke. also many reviewers stated the build quality on the rg35xx was better than miyoo mini/+. and since i own both rg35xx and og miyoo mini, i agree with the thesis, that miyoo mini just feels cheaper. i still love both since the mini is so much smaller, but its definitly less durable.
So what are the measurements in imperial units ?
Gotta go to Google for that one.
Everytime I pick up my gameboy... I set it right back down because I can't stand how small it is now compared to when I was a kid.... it really blows but my phone and the razer kishi makes a great handheld
Personally, I prefer the Backbone One, but that's just me. I have the Razer Kishi as well, and the way it stores is awesome.
@Baldly Rudy I got my kishi for $20 bucks from someone who bought it and didn't like it. Maybe one day if the backbone goes on a good sale or something I might get one and try it out. I've heard alot of great things about it but $100 is a bit much for me
The top g of gaming
Loving it although they have a basic issue, the card that comes with is not formatted to fat32, after first start miyo will stop reading,you will need to reformat and all the roms will be gone, you have down load and flash again, but love it
Whoa. That didn't happen to mine. Where did you get yours?
@@baldlyrudy I ordered from official site from aliexpress , fairly common problem people sharin on the net, regarding reading issue.
You can now buy a grip for the miyoo mini plus
i guess the 3ds do the work specially 2 screen games, anyway enjoy having fun with this product
The question is: is this better than PSP which costs almost the same?
I sadly have never owned a PSP, but I do have the PS Vita. Shouldn't that be better automatically?
Bought mine off Temu using a 50% coupon I found online for new users. Costed me $33 and is currently on its way
Can you save progess in games?
Yes. And create save states.
Miyoo Mini Plus i got mine about $60 tax $65 from china?
i bought the purple color?
can see the inside cpu?
took a few weeks to come?
cant believed they dont have snes or nes games?
Anbernic RG35XX, which i dont have?
they both look the same almost the device?
i wish u can play on the tv?
the battery die fast if you're not playing it?
I got my white on on ebay for $196AUD with the 128gb memory card, carry case etc. Its coming in the mail tomorrow. Then i found the purple one on temu for $128 aud so i have ordered that for my brother for his birthday, his comes with 64gb sd card and a case also. Lucky i found his as ibe found purple is sold out everywhere. I dont mind spending more on mine. Ive also found out a few have bought a new brand name sd card and installed onion os on it and transferred the games from the cheap sd card over. As the sd card it comes with corrupts very easily.
I put a 256gb Samsung micro sd card in and it worked fine 👍 just gotta format whatever card you use to fat32
Sweet! I was wondering if that really was the limit of the card reader.
@@baldlyrudyalso the stock micro sd card reader is capped at like 15 mb/s just switching the card reader to a better one gets the stock sd card to read faster, but even then the card doesn’t compare to like a v30 a2/3 from a reliable company. Also ps1 games are weird (at least if you use bin or cue files) on onion OS. They dont show up at all on the quick boot and i gotta go into retroarch to boot them
can it be connected to a TV monitor?
Nope, but if you want one that does, then I'd recommend the RG35XX.
th-cam.com/video/Yi_s_wj14o4/w-d-xo.html
The custom OS,. i.e.: OnionOS, already has wifi multiplay, retroachievements and OTA updates.
Miyoo wouldn't support Ds games such as heartgold soul silver?
You'd have to install Onion OS, from what I can tell.
lazyhandheldman.com/how-to-play-nds-on-miyoo-mini/
Looks like the shortage is over; was in stock on Amazon.
Those are resellers and scalpers. The actual stock would be from Miyoo's AliExpress storefront.
Does this have Gameboy Color Rumble?
