The original Miyoo Mini was a very popular handheld emulation game console and now Miyoo's latest edition is on sale in multiple colours. This one is larger than the original with a larger/better screen, better ergonomics making it easier to grip for longer periods and a slightly larger battery.

The internals remain the same so it's suitable for playing games on the classic platforms like NES, SNES, Mega Drive, NEOGEO, Gameboy, as well as anything up to the PS1. Anything above like the PSP and Dreamcast will struggle. With the 4:3 screen ratio this is perfect for games on the Gameboy Advance.

Other features include a Linux OS with RetroArch, OnionOS support, 3.5" IPS 640x480 display, 3000mAh removable battery with 4-5 hours of playtime, vibration motor, speakers, USB-C for charging, MicroSD card slot and a 3.5mm audio jack. For controls there's a dpad, ABXY buttons, select/start and R1/R2/L1/2 shoulder buttons.

For reviews I recommend checking out ETA Prime's video which shows game performance on different platforms.

        Maybe because it comes with full SD card?

    • HomeAlone on 24/05/2023 - 19:53

      Because the page advertised the fact that it comes preloaded with games.

      It comes with 6000 preloaded games. Supports a maximum expansion of 128GB

      WiFi is built in and 6000 games come preloaded.

      Looks like Clear was able to get GeekBuying to remove those texts so now it's fine as long as you don't dig into the reviews where it's also mentioned.

    To be honest I reckon you're better off with the RG35XX from this deal.

    Cheaper, built more sturdy (lots of reports of the Miyoo crapping itself after a short fall onto carpet), and also has a GPU which is being unlocked via the Batocera CFW which lets it handle some N64, Dreamcast, and even some NDS games I believe. Even without the GPU unlock it has the same performance as the Miyoo.

    Extra note, slightly bigger than the Miyoo as well, I have a 35XX and honestly it's at the limit of being comfortable to hold and I don't exactly have big hands.

    • RocketSwitch on 24/05/2023 - 20:23

      Disagree. I've had the Miyoo for a while, and also bought ^ from that deal.

      Miyoo is more practical, fits in the pocket, and perfect for gaming on the go / toilet, etc.

      I've finished a few GBA games on it this year.

      True about it being less durable though.

      • jc123 on 24/05/2023 - 21:43
        +6

        They're both similar/comparable. It's just personal preference in the end.
        Miyoo mini has WiFi (for retro achievements and OTA updates), is smaller/more pocketable.
        RG35xx is cheaper, more durable, slightly taller (thus more ergonomic), and has micro HDMI out.
        Onion OS (miyoo) vs Garlic OS (RG35xx) are both good. The former is more mature, but the latter has a bit more customisability/development.
        They both play the same systems in the end. I prefer RG35xx colour schemes

        I personally never put these in my pants pockets so RG35xx wins due to it being a bit more comfortable to hold, durable, and most importantly… cheaper (approx $10 ; though you need to factor in need to get new micro SD cards if you don't have any spare).
        I wish RG35xx has WiFi/bluetooth for convenience and I don't really care about the HDMI compatibility.

        I wanted the Analogue Pocket. I could afford the Miyoo Mini. GB/C is all I really cared about so it was perfect.

        • Fappo on 25/05/2023 - 00:43

          I was tempted by the Analogue Pocket, but I don't love the form factor or screen ratio. I'm also tempted by this as it's pretty cheap and does look cool.

          Reckon I'll wait for a better FPGA handheld than the Pocket though. Could be a while, but I'm sure we'll get one eventually.

          • AustriaBargain on 25/05/2023 - 02:19
            +1

            @Fappo: I feel like I'll spend the rest of my life waiting for the next big FPGA. Cycle accurate N64 gaming would be what I want, but where does it end. I'd want PSP next, then gamecube, and I'll be an old demented man by the time they come up with my dream retro gaming device.

            • Fappo on 01/06/2023 - 19:50

              @AustriaBargain: An N64 core is currently in development for MiSTer. That seems like it will most likely be the upper limit of the hardware (though we're still yet to see it running). The PlayStation 1 core is solid and runs great and the Sega Saturn core seems to be progressing very well but I haven't checked that out yet. I'm really looking forward to it but I'm waiting until it's out of beta.

        • FabMan on 25/05/2023 - 03:25

          Got the Analogue Pocket, it is a perfect Gameboy, Gameboy Color device, but it gets left perfect, less ideal for other devices, even the Gameboy Advance.

          I think something like the Miyoo Mini is a better choice for the price, I'm so bloody worried about the Analogue Pocket I won't let my kids use it. No fun being worried about it so much.

    • Kangal on 24/05/2023 - 21:33
      +2

      Even more efficient are the landscape designs.
      They're generally more pocket friendly, yet in the hands they're quite a bit more comfortable or ergonomic.

      So the likes of the Miyoo Mini+, RG 35xx, and RG 353v are more of a "toy" compared to the likes of the RG 353m, RG 405m, and Retroid Pocket 3+.

      I think a good way to narrow the choices is to ask which is the highest system you want to play, how pocketable/portable you need it, and if there's anything that "sparks joy" to you.

    • witheredcouch on 25/05/2023 - 14:57

      The reports of Miyoo fragility are mostly from the Mini. I have had a Mini Plus for a couple of months, it has been flawless, and I keep it unprotected bouncing around in a bag and it still looks as new. Also aesthetically I think it just looks a lot more polished than the RG35XX (just the fine details seem better thought out).

      My only negative is also true with the Anbernic, which is that it will only charge using a USB A-C cable.

    • Fullhalter on 25/05/2023 - 23:54

            @Clear: Haha I won't lie, I have been distant with geekbuying for years now because back in the redmi 3/4 era, they gave me a bunch of fake tracking numbers that I needed to contact the Chinese office directly. But considering you're with them and how long they've been around, I probably won't hesitate to shop with them a bit more now.

              @Wonderfool: Back in those days Xiaomi had real bad supply issues. Basically you'd order 1000 units from Xiaomi and due to shortages they'd only deliver 500 units and thus not enough phones for everyone. You could buy more units from 3rd party suppliers, but there were two issues. They'd often slap an extra $20-$50 ontop of the RRP so you'd make a loss, or worse they'd preload malware onto the phones.

              I'm glad the days of supply chain issues are over. It certainly did a lot of damage.

    • mangobango on 24/05/2023 - 20:36

      Definitely, lots of great retro games you could load on these that they'll love (they do come with a lot of games already but a few staples missing).

      I think 5 would be a bit young. These are quite fragile and need to be babied - a drop from waist height will total the screen.

      If it was sturdier then maybe you could set it up and then give them instructions on how to use it…

        Odin devices will play more for roughly $400 odd.

        Retroid pocket 3+ might be an alternative to the Anbernic for roughly $250 odd.

        Theres a YouTube clip from RetroGameCorps comparing the RG505 and the Pocket 3+. It gives a good comparison.

    These ones are cheap but come with 500 or so pirated games making it a banned item for advertising, you can get the same models slighly different but at a significantly cheaper price on Temu - if you want the good ones use alibaba to get the ones that can handle psx and psp on special they usually go for $149
