      I wanted to get a Miyoo mini to gift someone.. but they look sold out as Russ mentioned in his recent video there seems to be pockets of times where they are available on AliExpress).

      Yeah does HDMI out work with AnberNIX on the 300x and the 350m ? That would be really awesome! Also a comparison with the latest Adam Image would be great!! Please do this!😁🙏

      Awesome! I have two RG300Xs. I'm going to try out this new AnberNIX on my Gold RG300X and leave the stock firmware on my Silver one for now. If I like the new firmware enough, I'll then update my Silver RG300X with it.

    The 280V was my first retro handheld, so it has a special place in my pocket.
    I haven't used mine in a while but hearing that there's a new OS to try definitely gives me a reason to get it out again.

    Bought a 350P a while back, and couldn't get used to having analogue sticks where I would typically rest my thumbs. Went to the 300X and haven't looked back since. Near perfect little handheld, great ergonomics. Just wish it had a little more power under the hood.

    Love my RG280V. It feels great in the hands and looks unique. I did not get the RG300X because I still own an original Gameboy Micro and that thing is way smaller than this, and I don't play it often but after 3 years later just sitting in a drawer it still turns on.

    I love and adore the Anbernic 280V. I bought it and an RG300. The RG300 crapped out. Was definetly a cheap POS lol. But the 280V packed some decent power and a gorgeous screen and beautiful aesthetics. I have the golden version. it plays PS1 games no problem! Though I mostly wanted these little Anbernics to play GBA, GB, and GBC games and SNES. They do not disappoint. I might get a 300X just because. When you hold these things they feel very quality.

  • @V3Efreet
    @V3Efreet Рік тому +1

    Problem is the price... they perform the same as VQ90 and other device that cost 30-40 bucks, so you're paying over double the price for slightly better buttons and a sturdier shell.
    If they offered at least better ergonomics or a bigger screen i could see the potential.

    • @occhiomanocchio
      @occhiomanocchio Рік тому +3

      I don't think that they perform the same of a VQ90, look at Mame, SNES and PSX performances. Moreover, the screen quality is way better on these two devices (no screen tearing, for example)

Dingux was an os for the dingoo a320). I suggest you say "based on opendingux beta and Adam" instead or something like that.

    • @Cyko..
      @Cyko.. Рік тому +3

      You made a wise decision. I own both the Miyoo Mini and the RG280V and they are both fantastic. Having the Miyoo Mini is like having a mini Gameboy and having the RG280V is like having something unique in your hands. You'll know what I am talking about when you get yours and admire the nicely squared aesthetics. I got Onion OS on my Miyoo Mini and Adam on my RG280V. Take a shot every time I said RG280V. You're on the floor. Thank me tomorrow.

    It's cool to see that people are still putting the work into these devices. I'm probably gonna stick with Adam because I love scrolling through a scraped fullset and mostly play Gameboy and NES on mine anyway, but if some of AnberNIX's PSX performance improvements make it over to Adam, I'll happily update it and give some PSX games a shot.

    The sound volume when using this image is low even when pressing the volume buttonto max it, if you check in sound mixer, seems like the volume is affected by "Mixer" which is set to 31 by default and changing this value did not stick. After every reboot it will return to 31 again.
