I just finished Dragon Quest 9 on my Miyoo Mini plus. [...] I am so happy with this little console I got one year ago, it allows me to catch up somes games i missed during my chilhood. [...]
I have recently bought a Miyoo Mini Plus for about £70 (inc taxes) and it is able to run most old console games up to PS1 just fine and the build quality is good too. It is linux based and community has made an alternate OS/UI with custom scripts, webserver and support of many other systems etc. I couldn't find the price for Analogue, but it will probably be too expensive in comparison.
Honestly "do not preorder" might be an understatement. I would probably recommend waiting MONTHS after release to order any of these. And even still, I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus like a year after they came out and it arrived with a broken wifi chip lol.
I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus a few weeks ago. It's a very nice device and the buttons feel great, but it is a bit cramped. [...]
[...] Otherwise, I recommend Retroid Pocket 6 if you like Android or want to play GC/PS2/N64, or a Miyoo Mini Plus if you don't care about any of that. Neat thing about the mini plus is its 640x480 screen, so you get Genesis/Mega Drive games edge to edge 2x integer scale if configured properly. [...] Watch out for things like improperly calibrated joysticks (can't run in certain directions in 3D platformers, only walking speed), screen tearing, saves disappearing from the filesystem if the system shuts down improperly during gameplay, audio crackle/poor audio in general, IPS bleed around display edges, soggy dpads, face buttons too firm, etc. [...]
I have had a Miyoo Mini Plus for ages. [...]
Miyoo mini plus. [...] Been using one for a couple years now. [...]
I got a Miyoo Mini Plus for xmas from my partner a couple of years ago, very similar device, and I love it. The best console I've had in decades!
I got the miyoo mini plus last year and it’s served me well. It’s perfect for playing Pokemon
i got 250 albums on bandcamp, amazing. quitting spotify was the right call, i enjoy having them on my computer and also on my miyoo mini (yes i use it as a flac player) altho that will soon be upgraded to a miyoo mini plus.
I completely forgot about easyrpg! I use it on my handheld emulation device, the Miyoo Mini Plus. Thank goodness for easyrpg.
[...] I got a Miyoo Mini Plus a few weeks back and started playing retro games (Retrobat) on my PC. [...]
it really does live on — i still play it on my miyoo mini plus more than anything else i own. games like that are timeless.
I had the white space shooter one when I was a kid. Last week, I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus. Hundreds of games from dozens of consoles all on an SD card the size of my thumbnail.
I got the fire sword in Dragon Quest 1 (GBC) and I really like that the slash animation changes with it. P.S. The console I am playing on is the Miyoo Mini Plus and, yes you should buy one, they are £40.
I bring my Steam Deck on flights or when I have to wait around while my kid does gymnastics, but it’s only when I have a bag I’m toting around. I got a Miyoo Mini Plus and my son was amazed that he could actually put it in his pocket! He’d never seen something like that before (besides a phone).
Brother, I got a miyoo mini plus for this exact reason. Feel so connected to gaming at the moment because of it. More power to you
I bought a little retro handheld because my Retroid Pocket 3 has always been wonky and in researching I realized that all I need it to do is play Pokémon rom hacks, SNES games, old NeoGeo fighting games, and PaRappa the Rapper. So I picked up the Miyoo Mini Plus and I’m very excited for it.
Oh nice - Good Boy Galaxy is coming to Switch! It's a superb action platformer made for GBA just a couple of years ago - I bought the ROM and played it on my Miyoo Mini Plus. Can't recommend enough 😍 youtu.be/ohdlL1KNNCc?...
Miyoo Mini Plus is a solid handheld. Plays a lot of systems. I use mine to play MP3s now that I have an Anbernic RGDS.
Years later, I don’t use it often enough, but still find myself in love with it when I do. It doesn’t beat the classic convenience of a Miyoo Mini Plus or my RG35XXSP, and it doesn’t hold a candle to the handhelds that are getting released now (Really want that AYN Thor) but it’s a fine thing.
Miyoo Mini Plus. [...] I bought mine for like... [...]
I got a miyoo mini plus and it's probably the best console I've ever owned lol
I got the new miyoo mini plus because I wanted rtc since I mostly play Pokémon on these (gave the other one to my fiancé, he doesn’t care about rtc) but I’ve been playing emerald sea glass on it and it’s just so pretty to look at ❤️❤️❤️
I bought and immediately broke a Miyoo Mini Plus, a lil emulation device. I can’t fix it but I don’t want to junk it, so I painted it to match my second favorite crew of brothers. Made a display stand out of LEGO for it too.
Oh no, the Retro Handheld addiction has came back with a vengeance because I got a really good price on a Miyoo Mini Plus.
I got a Miyoo mini plus recently. [...]
I have a Miyoo Mini Plus but would love the better CPU of the RG35XX Plus. Wasn’t out when I got the Miyoo, though. Definitely weird to have both.
i wonder where the hell my miyoo mini plus went. i got the retroid pocket and havent really worried about it but i would prefer to know
Most of my emulation game time is outside the house, 90% (got a miyoo mini plus for when I'm in a que) is done on Android and none of it is on a phone :) Just the idea of touchscreen gaming is giving me RSI pain.
