Another great video from our Vlad. Tenlevels lit the torch and Sundownersport continued to carry on his legacy. I had gotten rid of my two Miyoo A30 units, but now with this update, I ended up buying a black one just to keep in my collection. The work of these guys is amazing.
To the man who created spruse. Thank you. I was very unhappy with this device. Until I used spruse. Very excited to update!. Thank you vlad for the info
I ended up selling my A30 and just kept using my Miyoo Mini. There were some pros and cons with the device. The pros were the buttons, spruce os, pocketability and the ability to play some games above PS1. The cons was that the device would get really hot and was uncomfortable at times, it lacks vents to let out heat, often times it would slow down the device or freeze due to the overheating. Overall you should be ok up to PS1. I enjoy the Miyoo Mini more due to Onion OS and despite it being a micro handheld, it doesnt get hot to my surprise. Lastly i do prefer the horizontal design of the A30, but wished there was a better shell design. Even the button letters began to fade away.
Really hot? Did you play it inside a microwave? I play PSP games on mine and 'hot' is not a word that I would use to describe it. 'Warm' would be the closest and it was nowhere near uncomfortable.
A couple of things to mention, it depends on the device, but mine was hot in a way that was not tolerable for me. Anything up to PS1 was fine, however when trying N64 it did get hot after about 20-25 minutes. For some thats ok as they may use this for shorter periods of time.
That's an assumption on your end. I play PSP on mine for hours. If you say that this is a con, you probably should have done your research. The con is not the temperature; the con will be the build of your own device. Don't assume that it applies to every single Miyoo A30 out there. @@WillC1020
This is a pretty amazing update. Makes the A30 feel way more like the mini. Just the save state on power down option alone was all I really wanted. Love these devs!
Hi Vlad, just wanna drop a note here that I still love the original Camera you used since long time ago, the skin tone and colours are more natural to me. the other 2 new ones really need some exposure or color balancing as you are constantly switching between them now. Thankfully for this video the switching is less distracting than previous few videos. Hope you don't mind my comments above, I know making these videos aren't easy work and I do appreciate your work. Thank you
I enjoyed this video on the A30 so much, I watched it twice. 😅 Wouldn't mind a follow-up video about the A30 with Spruce 3.1.0 . Highlighting any useful features, Retroarch settings, or game-list title curation fixes, etc. 🤞 _SUBSCRIBED_ 🎉
I noticed that Spruce OS 3.0.0 heats up the device much more compared to version 2.3.0. Before, it didn't heat up so much in SFC games. The performance and image have improved a lot on the N64. I don't need to configure anything anymore. The temperature worries me, but in short, I liked it.
I ordered one for $19 free of shipping but without the cheap sd card, it's still sailing in the ocean from china I guess. I was really planning to put MinUI but I saw this video, really interesting new features on spruce
Snagged one on sale on Ali express for 26 bucks. Waiting for it to come in. Seeing if it will replace my miyoo mini v2 as my “on the go” device. How is the n64 optimization now?
@@wooordwooord4712 my v1 Miyoo Mini was much loved but it's been living in the back of a drawer since the A30 dethroned it. I never took the MM anywhere because it's so fragile, whereas the A30 is so cheap and durable, I don't feel bad throwing it in a bag or pocket without a case.
I really love this Miyoo A30! I'm even one of the few players in the world who can master Zangief in Street Fighter 2 using only the digital D-pad on the small handheld console! I'll be testing the new update to compare the performance 😋
Does installing spruce fix the problem with the speaker/amplifier staying on when volume is set to it's lowest? Surely the amplifier staying on impacts battery life. The only solution I can find is plugging in the usb headphones adaptor 😤
Hi, thank you so much for your video. I’ve been looking into several retro consoles, and yours really caught my attention thanks to your explanation. I have a question that I haven’t been able to find answered anywhere else: how does this console perform when connected to a TV? I’m particularly interested in using it with a TV and a Bluetooth controller. I’ve seen that it’s possible, but no one seems to talk about it. Thank you very much, and greetings from Colombia!
Yeah, you're able to adjust the luminance, hue, saturation and contrast but I find the colours to be perfect at their default settings. Overall the display looks fantastic.
Hey Vlad I’m looking to buy a portable handheld for my brother in law (he mentioned gba as what he wanted to play). I can’t decide between the a30 or the mini plus. I’ll be setting it up for him before I give it to him. Which would you pick as a gift.
I still prefer MinUI on this device, especially because the performance of the devices doesn't really justify having those extra cores and options. Having the "fake hibernate" means I'll probably try this out anyways.
I have a problem. DraStic on Spruce 3.0 completely stopped recognizing the joysitck. Doesn't matter if I set it to D-Pad, stylus or whatever. Also tried using the unbricking image, apply the wifi update again and fresh installing Spruce OS. It just won't work and I don't know what to try anymore..
Vlad, my dude, could you help us Pico8 lovers how tomake the darn think work on spruce-powered A30s, please? I followed every (few) tutorial I could find, but all I got is a blank screen...
hey! can you please compare handheld devices with cloud gaming? i'm so interested in boosteroid, 'cause i heard, that it has rdr2, and would be so cool if u make a review about it, 'cause i wanna buy steam deck, but i wonder, if it's worth it
Help me grow, my lovely nerds. Please subscribe and like the vid. 😘
We need more likes for this clip. There is no other coverage on spruce 3 (at this point)

How long would it take to heat up

Just picked up two of these for 50% off. Going to gift one to family for Christmas.
Many thanks Vlad, and the guys that put all the work into Spruce 🙏

Good video Vlad
Snagged one on sale on Ali express for 26 bucks. Waiting for it to come in. Seeing if it will replace my miyoo mini v2 as my “on the go” device.
How is the n64 optimization now?
N64 is way better now. But not everything works perfectly
I even checked it today earlier if something new has been published...and suprise!
Thanks! Im definitely installing this on mine!

Bro, make a step by step installation guide for Spruce 3.0 into the A30 as well as your favorites games running on it. We'll watch it.
I’ve searched for a day now, HOW does one enter the game switcher? There’s nothing online that says HOW.

Hello VladNerd! Do Spruce does anything for the screen general quality? (color repruduction/changes like onion does on the MM)
I'll need to check and I'll get back to you. :)
Yeah, you're able to adjust the luminance, hue, saturation and contrast but I find the colours to be perfect at their default settings. Overall the display looks fantastic.

Do ROM files have to be unzipped before added to the SD card? Do BIOS files need to be unzipped?
Does it make the screen bigger?
🤣 (but it's still a really nice little device)
Yes, but now mines too big and I can't downgrade firmware 😢
I still prefer MinUI on this device, especially because the performance of the devices doesn't really justify having those extra cores and options. Having the "fake hibernate" means I'll probably try this out anyways.

OH MY GOD IT LITERALLY SAYS A FIX IS COMING ON THE FIRST LINE ON THE 3.0.0 CHANGELOG, HOW AM I SO ALLERGIC TO READINGGGG!!!
Hell yeaaah!!!
how's the battery now?
throughout my testing, pretty ok. I'll need to discharge it a few times to give a definite answer, though.
Does this OS fix the heating and battery issues? Do you prefer the RG28XX over the A30?
Vlad, my dude, could you help us Pico8 lovers how tomake the darn think work on spruce-powered A30s, please? I followed every (few) tutorial I could find, but all I got is a blank screen...
Actually, there's an awesome dude in my Discord that just made it work. Feel free to drop by and ask @Ry about it. ❤️
Did you buy pico8 or are you using fake08?
@369px Bought it. It"s solved, and working like a charm! 🤩
someone can tell me more command line into ssh
or link to command line guide
Pls do a guide how to install Spruce
Thanks
Can it now run psp games in longer periods without overheating and crashing ?😊
hey! can you please compare handheld devices with cloud gaming? i'm so interested in boosteroid, 'cause i heard, that it has rdr2, and would be so cool if u make a review about it, 'cause i wanna buy steam deck, but i wonder, if it's worth it
How is psp performance? Any improvement?
This is what I want to know
Probably not 😅
The wife can pick up the kids, I gotta install Spruce 3 on my miyoo A30 first.
Game switcher is a cool feature 😊
Does this fix the wifi
Yes, Miyoo released an update with the WiFi fix a while back
Again, you need to stop making me buy new hardware.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
