The Miyoo Mini was my favorite Portable Emulator of last year, but stock issues made it hard to recommend. The Miyoo Mini PLUS is a bit more comfortable, and sets out to fix those issues...

![This Emulates [Almost] Everything! - Retroid Pocket 4 Pro Deep Dive](/img/n.gif)
I bought a Miyoo Mini + because of this video, and I gotta say after the Onion set up process and rom transfer, I am in LOVE with it. Been feeling bummed out by modern gaming lately, so it's been great to go back to a simpler time when a game was just a game, not a storefront. Thanks for the recommendation!
Agreed. And I feel like such an "old" person saying this (29) but games truly were simpler back then. The game just released and you got the entire package.
same and playing through pico 8 games and chrono trigger is nice
Nicely put - I'll add further that games should have good gameplay not only focused on stunning graphics.
Yep modern games can suck hence playing my snes mini and I’m about to buy a MM+
Any issues with Pokémon games?
I bought the rg35xx shortly after the video you made about it. After seeing the title I was worried I should've waited for this, then hearing about the price and the stock issues I think I'm thankful for my purchase.
That's the thing with these devices, there's ALWAYS a "new thing" coming out, it's super excessive. The trick is getting one that does what you want it to do, because a "new" and "better" one is bound to come out in three months.
Couldn't agree more, and I can't say I regret it. Very impressed with quality of RG35XX for price. Only complaint i have is my triggers rattle a bit but they function perfectly
@@PowerADAM423 You can easily modify the triggers to stop the rattle. I did it literally the moment I got my 35XX. I actually forgot they rattled out of the box.
@@ProphitDesigns oh hell yeah. how did you do it?
I was in a similar situation as you. I purchased a 35xx and really like it. I wanted a Miyoo Mini but wasn't willing to pay twice the price for it from scalpers and other retailers
Miyoo is doing a great job advertising for anbernic 🎉
Truuuue. I agree the Miyoo seems really great. Unfortunately I just don't see the point in being interested in a device I can't get. Like deciding which personal jet company is the best. Never gonna have one so what do I care. What I'm saying is...I can't wait for the Anbernic personal jet 😂
It really did push me into getting an RG280V. Like everyone LOVES the Miyoo Mini, but that’s irrelevant and that praise is rather misguided at this point because the bulk of consumers can no longer get their hands on one. Advertising for the Miyoo Mini Plus is cool and all but its not a Miyoo Mini it’s a Miyoo Medium and for anyone who was into the mini form factor, this will no longer be as pleasing to them. Additionally, it really feels… pointless to advertise for these products building them up for the consumer just to find out that it’s unavailable. Miyoo stuff is respected but if it’s not available, it’s essentially time wasted. I didn't jump on the retro handheld train until this month in which the Miyoo Mini stock had been gone for months and the plus is not the size that I want.
good one
Like the spectrum commodore wars all over again….
@@ManiakGear have you tried to get one? I got mine super easily despite the bad stock
Bah, my RG35XX came yesterday, my little weekend project. Wanted to shout you out, though, Wulff - your engaging videos, along with RetroGameCorps' thorough instructions, have encouraged me into making the jump into capturing my childhood in my pocket.
I'm the same because of these two channels
I honestly love how Bob does ads. Never disappoints 😂😂😂
my rg35xx just came in today and I'm glad your previous video convinced me to get it rather than wait for a miyoo. Couldn't be more excited for my first portable emulation experience knowing I made the right choice
Honestly you helped me out greatly by making this video (and previous ones about the mini and the anbernic). I've been trying to use my psp as an emulator console but it's age is really starting to show. The Anbernic seems like a great choice for my tastes
I binged all of your Miyoo Mini and Plus videos and bought me a mini plus XD
Freaking excited for it
Simply put, I love your reviews. I love retro gaming and I will not look at buying ANY console unless I can watch your reviews. The perfect mix of info, entertainment and simply viewer engagement. Thanks!!!
Absolutely love how you used the Legacy Of Goku music in the beginning ❤️
My friend picked up a Mini a year or two ago and i tried it but it was a bit too small for my hands to be comfortable, i have ordered a + and I hope it works better for me. Love your reviews, they're always a great help.
The handheld emulation market is incredibly overwhelming and intimidating... You should make a "Which Handheld Emulator is Best For You" Quiz so we can at least help narrow down our choices !! haha
Check out retro game corps channel , new to handheld gaming video that he put out a couple of weeks ago. Has a very good breakdown of what you need to know and the price points.
Just dont get into it. They all crap
@obvious_giraffe not really? Some are for sure, the miyoo mini is pretty solid, so is the retroid pocket 3+. Thooo gl with warranties with retroid unless ya don't mind diy
@@obvious_giraffe8386 ^
Its not that overwhelming, they all do the same thing. Just pick which one has the best formfactor for you, and maybe look up some reviews so you know what its capable of. If you dont know what to get, a great start is always anbernic, theyve got good selection and build quality.
I love my miyoo mini, almost didn’t keep it cause i have an RP3 but now the miyoo is kind of my favorite. One handed RPG gameplay while bored waiting on something is really nice. Kinda reminds me of grinding Pokémon or whatever GBA rpgs on my GBA SP back in the day but a bit smaller and easier to play. The firmware totally makes the device too. The no sleep mode was infuriating at first.
still w8ing for miyoo sp or anbernic sp versions.
Your wait is over!
This video just made me appreciate and love my rg35xx even more for the fact that Miyoo Mini Plus is like you can only get in your imagination.
I got the rg35xx based off your previous video about it and It already feels a bit small for me, I can't imagine going much smaller. I've been loving the hell out of it though!
You gotta wear the Mario hat for your stream tonight. Happy March 10.
Also looking forward to that customization video. Nice plug 👍
Got the ambernic after your video about it. Thanks Bob, looking forward to the customization video.
I love my Miyoo Mini, I'm very glad to have it. It really is the perfect device for me cause I been enjoying Pokemon Pinball all over again and whenever I'm waiting for renders or sitting in the drive through, etc it is just perfect to turn on play for a few minutes and then go about my day and I don't have to worry about it.
I love the presentation in these videos, the best part is definitely when Wulff trash talks the products under his breath
I ordered the Anbernic RG35XX because I gave up on getting a Miyoo Mini. Then the Mini + became available and I put an order for 3 in. I wanted to give a couple out as gifts. Got my Anbernic and have been really enjoying it. Excited to Compare it to the Miyoo Mini +
Which did you keep?
@@ZZZer00 Personally I preferred the Anbernic. The Miyoo was harder to get a hold of, but I also like the feel of the Anbernic one more. Can't go wrong either way.
I love the laugh in the ad, like we all know it's a skit. But that character break is real, it adds a level of authenticity that makes your word more genuine than the average scripted ad.
And that Bob puts effort into his ads. Each is a skit. I never skip his ads 😆
Miyoo Mini is so much more attractive than the larger sibling and clone. Glad I got one for my son last year.
I looked it's sold out so yuh let's goooooo!
I just discovered your channel and I really enjoy it.. thanks
Too late Miyoo, got the RG35XX and I'm super happy with it! I dealt with enough nonsense getting ahold of a PS5 last year, I don't need that for these little handhelds.
But man I love this stuff. A Game Boy Pocket that plays everything GBA and PS1 and Sega/SNES??? I love it! I missed out on a ton of games back in the 90's so this is absolutely wonderful.
EDIT: Worth noting the RG35XX I just got a few weeks ago doesn't have many D pad issues. I wonder if they fixed it.
Ikr. I'm not going to deal with artificial scarcity from Miyoo when I can get the RG35XX. Their loss.
The first one I bought had a much squirmier d pad. The replacement one was much stiffer. So there seem to be different batches.
You were absolutely right about them running into supply issues with the mini+ in your anbernic video
Been playing some GBA on the Anbernic for a week now. Did the electrical tape mode for the D-pad & plays great... Love It... Didn't need it, but again Love it's portability!
Uncle Bob coming thru with the content, ayyyyeeee!
Just got my mini + in the mail today and I’m already addicted, it’s perfect for starters 👌
Ordered RG35xx, delivered within 4 days. I'm in Australia. Fantastic!
Dude, the Dragon Ball Z Legacy of Goku 2 music!!!! This video was as incredible as always ❤
Great Video....I learned a lot about all of them, and looking forward to the customization video.
Had to subscribe after that intro and logo fade 😂 sick shit Wolf
Sticking with my current retro handhelds...but it was cool to check out your video.
Love the content Bob!
found this review after your top emulator handhelds for 2023 video and was sold on the mini plus...then saw it was out of stock and got a rg35xx and really happy about it.
It's funny, I got an RG35XX for both myself and my girlfriend (because, hey, they are in stock!), and we agreed that if this were any smaller we wouldn't like it. I'd try a Miyoo Mini Plus just to compare, but I don't want to go through the headache of trying to secure one.
brooooooooooo that intro music... ily man. my fav game on gba
I’m a big Anbernic fan and I had to get the Miyoo Mini Plus after all the hype. I really like it. It’s a great handheld for on the go and that screen is so crisp and clean. 👌
I'm new to emulation devices and I'm getting this one! It looks like it has an active community. I learned about pico-8 and I'm excited to play. Wifi and other app features are cool too.
I swear, opening up with music from Legacy of Goku II... You drive a very hard bargain sir..
I pre ordered the purple miyo plus from keep retro can’t wait!
I just bought the Miyoo Mini + and the store i got it from already installed Onion OS newest version , it works smooth as hell. Best retro handheld ever!!
Great music choice for the intro, DBZ Legacy of Goku II slaps
I appreciate the music sir, DBZ goku’s legacy 2. Brings back so many memories.
I am loving the anbernic a lot. I don't care to mess around with emulation too much but this comes stock, locked and loaded with pretty much anything I want to play except Mario games. Everything I have played doesn't have any weird issues either. I have the Mario games ready to play in other ways, so this is great for me. Thanks Bob for the first video on it. I literally bought it the day I saw the video and don't regret it.
@@Bogey91 they don't want mess with Nintendo lol
The Legacy Of Goku II music at the start. Pure nostalgia❤
I've had the double X for a few months now and I have absolutely no complaints
My RG35XX arrives today, and I'm pumped for it.
Picked up a anbernic a few hours before this video, due to your last video lol. Need something small I could drop in my coat pocket and play at work when nobodies looking 😏
I got one for my wife and I, I am the most excited to be able to netplay together with it. We occasionally hook up the retroid pocket 3 + with some blue tooth controllers and play games together that way. We often though want the tv for our favorite shows as background noise, so having a couple of little cute as fluff devices to play together sounds great. Hopefully it will make her not spike the controller when she can’t stop dying in metal slug. Like just get better at metal slug betch!!
I just got my miyoo mini plus and I absolutely love it!!!
Unless Miyoo can get the supply issues sorted out, it's a no contest. They really need to do something about scalpers just grabbing all the devices before anyone else though, it's pretty ridiculous.
No one should have to stay up all night just for a chance at ordering one of these devices.
yepp and the price of it is almost 100bucks. thats way more than anbernic
Got the anbernic, I love it. I will say, being a novice at this sort of thing, putting Garlic OS on it hasn't been as pain free as I hoped. It boots but doesn't recognize my roms yet. In the right folders and everything.
I followed techdweebs guide to a T as im new to all this too, and it works flawlessly. I used retrogamecorpse guide as well if you haven't gotten it working yet or checked their guides out go check em out
That Legecy of Goku 2 opening though. 🤤
OPENING THE VIDEO TO A LEGACY OF GOKU SONG OMG WULFF U A REAL ONE I KNEW IT FROM THE START
I bought my anbernic a couple of days ago and put garlic OS onto it with loads of games and im loving it so far
I will say, I recently got myself an anbernic, and you can fix the dpad issue by putting a bit of tape on the center contacts of the dpad's board, leaving just the outer contacts open.A bit cumbersome, but worth it IMO.
Ah man that Legacy of Goku OST unlocked core memories
Yoooooooo that legacy of goku start off song was so sick
This video just makes me happy I picked up my RG35.
I’ve just ordered 2 of these for my kids for Christmas - we have switches but my 10 year old has been asking me to get a DS and the older Pokémon and Zelda games but it’s soo expensive. My 7year old will like to play one or 2 of the Pokémon games and trade with her sister over wifi but she will love the older Mario and yoshi games :)
my miyoo mini plus just came today and I absolutely love it
These little handhelds look sweet! I still rock my old DS Lite due to the massive catalog of games I have. My Switch is also my portable NES, SNES, and my Game Boy (since it’s trapped in the attic).
I just got my anbernic because of your last vid and I love it. No regrets. And also. Is the background music from dragon ball on gba?
The dragonballz intro music just hit a certain nostalgic spot deep in my memory ❤️
Loved the intro song. I'm pretty sure that's from Legacy of Goku II on the GBA
Managed to order one from Keep Retro when they first dropped pre-orders. This will be my second emulation device. The Ayn Odin will remain my primary driver and the Miyoo will mainly be for portability.
mine should be here in a couple weeks. i cant wait
Bought a miyoo mini + and I'm excited, brand new to handheld emulators, goit it to get out of my house and still play games when I'm bored, also I love emulator's, all these consoles are older than me and I wish I was born early enought to play them in prime, but I'll take what I can get
Man your audio is great. Did you get a new mic like what’s in the top of the shot? (Lol)
Just ordered the miyoo mini plus from Amazon. One day shipping and this is my first retro hamdheld .
My Thursday was treacherous without you yesterday
Purchased the Miyoo Mini Plus 2 weeks ago :D will be my very first device
For anyone wondering, the song at the start of the video is called "Training and Focusing", from the DBZ Legacy of Goku II Soundtrack!
I absolutely love you use Amiga/tracker music in your video! :) What is the song tho?
Great Stuff, as always!
Bought the Ambernic a few days ago because availability. Going to be nice to have "What is a man?" SotN in my pocket for whenever I'm super bored somewhere.
Hoping there's a Classic NES shell out or being made for the Ambernic so I can reshell mine after receiving it.
There's a DMG gameboy sticker on Etsy from sakuramods. Covers the front, the screen edge, and the Anbernic sticker on the back with gameboy stuff.
Just got in the midol mini plus and so far I’m loving it, only down side is if I’m wearing polarized sunglasses, you can’t see anything on the screen
I have been completely happy with the Analogue Pocket and aside from missing PS1 games, it is perfect for me. Being able to play carts as well as emulation, with a super easy setup and interface, and slick as Hell aesthetics, it is the best handheld retro IMO. It immediately replaced my Anbernic RG35X, and I play it all day, every day.
Just got in my anbernic yesterday, I bought it after watching your last video. Such an amazing purchase so happy with it, thank you WULFF! My brother just ordered one out of jealously lol
Really appreciate the Legacy of Goku II music... it's incredible.
I just got the black model on Temu for less then $70 including shipping and I'm hoping that its totally worth it. The stock issues seem to have been fixed almost entirely, but I'm not sure if I just got lucky. (This is not a promotion for either companies mentioned, just my own experience)
Solid review! I own a Miyoo mini and RG35xx. Both are solid enough for me to pass on this device. I don’t get what Wi-Fi will even be used for. Also, out of curiosity I looked for availability on a Miyoo mini + on the official store. The price was at $132……. WTF! They some expensive Wi-Fi! The RG35xx has faster shipping time and at that price buy two and imagine your playing together!
I was about to buy the rg35xx, but decided to wait for the drop they just had a few days ago and managed to snag one. Can 100% agree that Miyoo really is losing a ton of sales because of their stock issues. If I hadn't had managed to be one of the lucky ones, I already had the rg35xx sitting in my cart on another page. Hopefully with the plus using easier to obtain screens, we'll see better stock, but it's not looking good so far.
what do u mean they always out of stock that means they are selling....
@@lovelyskinnyboy they can sell more if they had more tho...
@@gdm9937that’s not the point it means they are selling so much they are becoming out of stock and need to manufacture more the comment says they are losing sells when it’s not the case
@@Nature-556but they have sourcing issues. If they can't meet demand then they are losing money. And poeple may not even bother checking they have stock because it's gotten so bad.
@@curtislevey7639 I had 0 problem getting mine
So glad I got my miyoo mini v2 before it doubled in price and went out of stock.
I'm pretty comfy with my New3DSXL (I wish I had the small model though) but I can't resist clicking on these videos lol.
just got the Anbernic.. love it so far
Mine lasted 8 days.. screen died
Just wanted to say love the dragon ball z gba game music in the background
Bro that gokus legacy music in the background brought back so many memories
I have an original miyoo Mini, which I love...also have a Anbernic RG353V, that's great for playing N64 and Dreamcast games..the scene is just fantastic...my Xbox and switch are slowing dying on my shelf
Looking forward to that custom retro hand held video
fantastic music choice
Literally just started playing Legacy of Goku 2 again. That intro music hits hard 😭
Ngl this video has made me buy an Anbernic. The improved triggers on the Miyoo is cool and the fixed D pad would be nice but not enough to wait for a drop and hope i can get one
I got one recently and D-Pad has been a non issue. Been having blast playing Super Metroid.
@@PrimeRetroGamer what about for ps1 games? the comment under this one has said that the dpad issue has made some ps1 games to be unplayable
@@isuck6049 Not sure, I've tried MGS on PS1 and there seemed to be no issues for me. Maybe it depends from unit to unit.
@@PrimeRetroGamer ah maybe
I like that Legacy of Goku II Intro.
My wife gifted me a Miyoo Mini and an Anbernic 280V for Xmas and I actually prefer the Anbernic because is more comfortable.
I also camped on the launch of this device but didn't make it. I refused to buy in Keep Retro though after hearing some reviews so I just went and bought an RG35XX from another site instead because it's readily available. It has better build quality, plus it doesn't have a battery cover to worry about losing and it has twice the RAM that the Miyoo Mini has
I got a RG35xx and I love it... wish there was multiplayer play
Even local would be amazing
Honestly, I was trying to decide between getting a Miyoo Plus, or the RG35XX. But, the fact that the RG35XX doesn't have wifi kinda kills it for me. Wifi's not a MASSIVE issue, but I like RetroAchievements, and I like being able to FTP games over in the off chance that I don't feel like removing the SD card. The D-Pad issue on the Anbernic one also bothers me. I've seen like, three different videos talking about the iffy D-Pad on that one now.
On the other hand. The Miyoo looks great, but I'm mildly concerned it's gonna be too small for me. I have fairly big hands. I'd imagine the extra "chin" on the Anbernic would be more comfortable. I still find the original Game Boy DMG to be comfortable. Though, I can enjoy a GBC too, which is a bit smaller than the DMG. So maybe the Miyoo won't be as bad as I feel like it's gonna be.
I actually already have a Retroid Pocket 2+, but there's two things about it that bother me. One, is simply the D-Pad placement. It's so low (and offset from the face buttons), that my thumb cramps up when trying to use it. It's not as comfortable to play old retro games as it should be. The other issue, is that it's running Android. I kinda like it having Android because I can use Android frontends for my emulation, and I can use Android apps and games. BUT, the whole thing just feels impersonal. Like, I already have that "impersonal" feeling a bit when it comes to emulation, where I don't have a huge concern for my saves, because it feels more like I'm just loading a file than actually booting up a game. But, that's made even worse on the Retroid, where it feels more like I'm emulation on an old low-end Android phone with a controller attachement. I feel like if I use a device like the Miyoo, that's running an OS entirely dedicated to emulation, as opposed to an OS that's for a ton of different things and can also run emulators, would just...feel better.
And, despite having the Retroid, I kinda want a vertical handheld to give me that old Game Boy nostalgia.
Got both, rg35xx is more ergonomic
