Mine did not come in a box. It was in a carry case. And definitely liked the buttons better on the MM+ and felt the build quality was better on the it as well
If you modify colour settings and then try run a game, it will glitch out when you open it. You'll aways need to restart after changing the settings. That's what I have noticed anyway
It is that good, buttons are more comfortable (specifically dpad) than the rg35xx. I find myself playing on this one more than the rg35xx. Albeit the rg35xx screen gets brighter than the miyoo mini +
technical facts: with $80 for MM+ people will get oob better dpad, bigger battery, better L/R buttons and functional wifi. with $20 less for RG35XX, people will get better speaker, better screen (both in brightness and build quality), docked mode to bigger screen option, plus, the untapped potential with unlockable gpu (with proper software like Batocera, it is possible to play even PSP/Dreamcast games), while functional wifi can be enabled through proper software + external wifi adapter and rattling/diagonal dpad problem can be relatively easy (and cheaply) solved with electrical tape and a little bit of effort.
@@NickDyers The big deal for me on the 35XX is also the dual SD card support. Being able to move my rom library to other devices while keeping my OS files on the first SD card is great and something I didn't think I'd appreciate.
Haha, you finally got one! That's awesome. I got really excited by your link for a second but this thing is way bigger than the normal miyoo mini, correct? Kind of the whole reason I was interested in the first place was because of the ultra portability of it. So I think I'm still not buying this. It's a though call though because they have purple in stock which is my favourite.
@@MeatNinja purple is the most difficult color to obtain There are a few retailers with it in stock atm tho I ordered mine from keepretro at the beginning of March and should be getting it by the end of the week
Lol I am surprised to see you doing a video on this. I got into emulation partly because of videos you put out on controllers and emulation on foldable phones. TH-cam sent me down the rabbit hole even further and today we're here at this video. 😅
I think I would’ve preferred this sliding box to what I got. For whatever reason Amazon shipped this to me in a bulky zip up carrying case that looks like it was meant for a hard drive
the carry case is actually usable though unlike the box, sure i'm a little sad I also got no box but it's all stuff that gets thrown out at the end of the day.
Imo Pros: beautiful screen, very vibrant and HD like. Very thin bezels. Nice form factor. Can play games up to ps1 and arcades! Has wifi, for retroachievements, can play multi-player on multiple miyoo devices. Cons: causes hand fatigue after a while. Very small buttons. Horrible back triggers. No analog stick to play other ps1 games. Very bad battery life. On sleep mode the light stays on and drains like crazy.
I have the device now and most of the games are too old. I only play Pokémon but the emerald version is with problems such as it cannot be saved or can’t be loaded.
Miyoo mini plus is way better than rg35xx. I have both and there is official store at where i live for rg35xx so the price are just like advestised but not for miyoo mini. If you are not like me which live in country which basicaly can only grab miyoo from reseller double the price it original price go for miyoo mini plus. That extra dollar wont mean anything if you comparing how much things i need to mod my rg35xx to be as good as miyoo mini plus
technical facts: with $80 for MM+ people will get oob better dpad, bigger battery, better L/R buttons and functional wifi. with $20 less for RG35XX, people will get better speaker, better screen (both in brightness and build quality), docked mode to bigger screen option, plus, the untapped potential with unlockable gpu (with proper software like Batocera, it is possible to play even PSP/Dreamcast games), while functional wifi can be enabled through proper software + external wifi adapter and rattling/diagonal dpad problem can be relatively easy (and cheaply) solved with electrical tape and a little bit of effort. so MM+ is WAY BETTER from what overall technical aspects then?
@@NickDyers well yes 20$ its rather cheap price to pay for a more near perfect console to play. Its just cost around 130-140$ at my place. Its the same with rg35xx for potential unlockable gpu to play more advance console with batocera. Speaker screen are about same. The really advantage is that wifi, dpad and yes the batery is great since you can also change the batery super easy on miyoo mini p. But size wise i prefer rg35xx since i got a big palm.
@@deadriddle5694 > 20$ its rather cheap price to pay for a more near perfect console to play wait what, nearly perfect with worse screen, worse speaker and worse chipset? how come? also, if that thing can only play PS1 and below PERFECTLY, even the ANCIENT OBSOLETE gkdmini is way more VALUABLE in that regard. no need to throw away $150 for the VERY SAME PERFORMANCE. > Its the same with rg35xx for potential unlockable gpu to play more advance console MM+ doesnt even have the same powerful chipset as RG35XX, let alone talking about GPU. what a total FLOP joke, clowney :) > That extra dollar wont mean anything if you comparing how much things i need to mod my rg35xx to be as good as miyoo mini plus lemme guess, in your FANTASY ALTERNATE reality, kapton tape mod is WAAAAY more pricey compared to upgrading screen+speaker mod? just remember, screen+speaker IS MANDATORY to actually playing retrogames, while WIFI isnt :)
@@NickDyers bro chill out man. Everyone have their opinion. I am just pointing out mine from my eyes since i have both. And i wont mod mine if i dont like my rg35xx am i? For "me" rg35xx cleary win since it cost double the price which is ridicious (at my country MMP really cost nearly 150$). But honestly modding miyoo mini plus is just way easier. I mean i need a new backbutton, taping dpad and changing my rg35xx batery for bigger capacity and its harder to do compare to miyoo mini plus. (And for those who never do these mod its just pain not that i have any problem with it). I did not said they have the same quality what i mean is MMP is more user friendly.
@@deadriddle5694 fair enough. I'm just stating the techical facts to compare the usage value for these both chaynese knockoffs. and MM+ doesnt have the same powerful chipset as RG35XX nor GPU to unlock.

Damn I thought I had it bad mine came with 40, there was another youtuber who had 90 ps1 games straight from the box. I honestly wanted more, but it's a really good SNES and GBA emulator. No mario games on any emulator though, I really wanted to try super mario RPG on the snes.
@@antjuanyoung8605 I think it has something to do with what size SD card you pick. The PS1 rom file sizes seem a little bigger than i thought. But that is also weird since mine came with most Mario games on each emulator plus Mario All-Stars. Adding more roms seems easy, drag and drop onto the card.
@@clintwilliams3818 what the heck??? Wow, I guess everyone's experience may differ with these handheld emulators. Yeah I'm not to tech savvy with computers or the internet in general, but there are tutorials out there. Also I got the standard mini + that's probably why there's only a few ps1 roms.
saturn is one tricky system to emulate, even for adequate PC hardware. PSP/DC are much more easier to clone in ARM based computers (remember SNES vs PS1 emulation case ?) with current state of MM+ hardware, its impossible. ofc if retroarch humble enough to include mednafen, it should check one tick at least from sofware department. but the haughty RA devs wont do that ever :)
That excuse of the Saturn being hard to emulate just doesn't fly as far anymore. Most games play at full or near-full speed with minimal issues on halfway decent contemporary PC or Android hardware. But in this case I do agree that the MM+ needs a bit more horsepower from a newer chipset to pull it off.
@@SuperKokuJin916 > That excuse of the Saturn being hard to emulate just doesn't fly as far anymore. CONTEXT. chaynese HANDHELD knockoff EMULATOR, and there are TWO problems there. NOT ONLY about the hardware POWER. Saturn core chip is WAY harder to dechipered properly COMPARED to higher, newer console such PSP or DC. The fact as in 2023 mednafen is the only most ACCURATE one to EFFICIENTLY emulate such beast IS another solid prove. And we're not even talking about the botchered yabasanshiro INEFFICIENCY performance in Retroid Pocket :) so its not an EXCUSE, its an undeniably FACT. You will get BETTER EMULATION PERFORMANCE for DC/PSP in the very same emulation hardware compared to saturn one. Its the same CONTEXT problem as the SNES mod7 hardware intricacy TO EMULATE, COMPARED to the higher, but MUCH MUCH SIMPLER hardware like PS1.
It’s NOT that good. I know I’m in the minority here bc everyone loves thing thing but I do not. At least not if you have a modded 3ds. The mini plus is STILL too small and uncomfortable to use for most adult hands. Too many folks singing this thing’s praises…makes me think they don’t have a modded vita or 3ds
> It’s NOT that good. I know I’m in the minority here bc everyone loves thing thing but I do not. nah, youre the part of MAJORITY retrogamers. its just the elitist hoarders/scalpers in reddit and their youtuber associates have LOUDER voice :)
What is a Vita? Seriously, the Vita wasn't even available in my area when it was new, so it's irrelevant. The 3DS might be good, but I'm not interested in dual-screen touchscreens. I've played GBC games on my Nokia 5310 back then (my last phone which still had buttons) and I miss that experience. I'm not interested in getting multiple systems of this kind though, I've ordered a Plus only because reviews show it has a better dpad and that's it (and a friend shown me a nonplus Miyoo and I really liked the whole idea, although I did acknowledge that it was way too small). What does the 3ds adds against this one? Higher cost, reliance on the second-hand market and these useless dualscreen gimmicks I'm aware about as cons only.
@@GraionDilach the one thing you’re right about is the D pad of the mini. It’s good. Def better than the competition of other Chinese handhelds, but I still say it’s way too small and the form factor of it makes it very uncomfortable. In my opinion I prefer playing most games from a company on their hardware. So a vita is great bc you can mod it and play PS1, psp, and all vita games. And they run great. The smaller “new” 3ds is phenomenal when modded too. It gives you access to all NES, SNES, GBA, Gb, and 3ds games among other things. I just feel like the OGs are better built and overall more enjoyable
@@GraionDilach > What does the 3ds adds against this one? its the other way around, clowney. If youre REAL oldschool retrogamers, its logically higher chance for you to HAVE properly working 3DS years before resorting to chaynese knockoff to play SMB2 in guaranteed better build quality hardware.
I'm honestly a bit disappointed, I thought there were more ps1 games but it turns out you still had to illegally download your own roms for more content.
