Happy to say I’ve been content with just having the Miyoo mini plus as my only retro emulation handheld. However this one is tempting me. Loving the design and smaller size of this.
The only thing that looks better would be having the n64 and if it did saturn i'd be really interested. Having no analog kinda makes n64 pointless though.
I just bought a Powkiddy RGB20 Pro which is very similar to this but honestly, if the purple color of the Brick was available I would've probably wanted to had gotten that over the 20 Pro. Sick color. At the end of the day I'm not too bothered though because both devices only really change in look and not much else. edit: Looking at the handhelds spreadsheet, the RGB20 Pro is slightly nicer hardware than the Trimui, also has sticks which is nice, I'm excited for it to arrive in the mail for me, possibly next week.
Loved this review. The DMCA comments are hilarious. Just one request, the neon light behind your head is retina burning. It’s cool looking but it’d be better without it or maybe position yourself where I don’t have to stare at it when you’re talking?
I'm enjoying my Brick with the alpha version of Knulli installed that's available to ko-fi contributors. Still got things to iron out, but having portmaster is fantastic. More mature firmware will really make this thing shine.
I love vertislop, but I'm just so happy with my RG28XX I just can't see myself buying anything new in the future. MAYBE a Powkiddy V10 for the novelty. The RG28XX is just the best stickless emulation handheld.
The screen and the blacks sold me on this device. I wanted a miyoo mini v4 but it doesn't have bluetooth for my earbuds! So th brick is the next step up!
Mine is on the way. I love love love the TSP, so I was hopeful for this one, even though I know the experience will be different. I'm hopeful that Crossmix will address many of the issue it has, the same as it did for the TSP. The developer community seems to have a big hand in what devices are successful. I guess that's not a terrible thing in the end because they can do it better than the manufacturers and they actually listen to the players.
After playing around 60 hours on Miyoo Mini + and getting horizontal handheld with 4 inch display (ARC-D) - I decided to never touch vertical and under 4 inches screen, and my hands are upper limit of M glove size.
0:31 It's like Adam Conover saying "With condoms available, we don't even need to get circumcized anymore"🤣 But seriously though, I still enjoy playing on the R36S. It's been (I think) 4 months since I got it and I still play with it. My uncle got an Anbernic.
the way the DS emulator detects screens is cause the DS assigns "main" and "sub" screens during games and I'm assuming the fullscreen option just fullscreens whatever screen is set to main
the trimui brick really looks like a very appealing option , offering something different for the first time on a while. i think its going to be a hit when custom firmware gets released
With a better custom ui and hopefully a constantly running internal clock for games like Pokemon I can see this easily replacing the Miyoo for me in the future
on the menu when you go to select the game, press and hold? x or y. It might jsut be press not sure. That will allow you to switch the emu core!! Get mine next week! White! 49$ no sd
Question. Are you going to do a tier list in Decmember for the best/most versitile one of these Tiny Boys? Got My 35xx because of your video. Still keep my N64 and GameCube library on my phone. It is worth lugging around a Razer Kishi 2 to me. But just waiting for the bus and wipping the 35xx out for a few rounds of Sonic or Megaman is nice.
How's the fast forwarding? Is it easy to map and does it lag to much? I mostly use these devices for older RPGs where fast forwarding is really nice to have.
Sadly my unit arrived with a broken light bar and missing screws in the casing :C Seller won't reply either. Sucks because this is basically the mini plus killer we've been waiting for
There have been several miyoo killer contenders with better hardware than the mini plus. The one thing that's held them all back is the firmware. If one of these more powerful devices got a port of Onion OS or something identical it would be game over for miyoo.
I still don't really get the point of emulating a system with a control stick...if the emulation machine doesn't have a control stick? Just seems like overly limiting yourself.
Because d pad diagonals do a good enough job and it's a tradeoff to make it fit in the pocket better. Devices with dual sticks are nice when you're home, but one isn't going to "live in your pocket." Sometimes the best emulator is the one that's most convenient to always have on you.
@@Patrick-bn5rp I moreso mean it kinda limits you if you want to use the potential of the handheld later for games that do support it. Feels kind of pointless to buy a whole device that can only play a certain amount of your library correctly, I guess?
@@Danominatorit’s all about specific use cases. If you only wanna play snes/gba/d-pad-only games and you really like the form factor, you’re good to go! I bought an Anbernic 35xx just for that era of games. But I can see your point: having a powerful emulation machine that CAN cover the controls of all consoles is the best bet.
How long does the battery last in standby? I gave up buying these types of handhelds because I set the system down, come back a day later and the battery is dead. I can go for a week or more with my Odin.
10:40 the DS assigns it's more powerful graphics chip to only one screen at a time, so I'd wager the emulator uses that to assume which it should focus on.
odin 2 is still the best option for this android related, I have the base model and I use it everyday for my ps2 catalog, 8000mah battery goes a long way too
Hi man I follow tour content it is great I want to ask you if you have a gkd pixel? And maybe could you help me, my sd card of mi gkd pixel doesn't work now, do you know how to install a new sd card and new firmware o software?
Hate to break it to ya, but the climate is already past the point of no return. That green "recycling bin" that your town picks up with all the rules about how it's sorted also goes into a landfill, and eventually the ocean.
NAW EFFF That nothing dethrowns my sp anbernic with SUPER PUSHINNG THE EDGE ON PERFORMANCE with custome firm weear underwear and my custom etsy mod buttons its clear green with PINKISH PURPLE KRYSTAL DIMON BUTTONS its stupid looking but awesome its my hulk sp yo
I'd like to think it's more of a buying a ferrari because its luxurious vs buying a car because it functions type of situation with these folks. Those who want the function go for something other than the analogue. Those who chase luxury get the analogue
analogue pocket is by far the stupiest thing ever!! EVER!! every handheld from Anbernic , Powkiddy , Trimui and so on is in every aspect the better option... hate that pricey thing so fukkin much...
I keep my RG35XXSP turned off because the standby sucks and drains all the battery in just one day. If the Brick has as good of a standby as the SmartPro it should last more than a week (easily)
Have you updated the firmware? Install the modded stock firmware V1.0.9-BASE-20241018-MOD-V3.1, its the same as anbernics updated firmware but is easier to install and has extras.
I mean I think the amount of systems is excessive, but reviewing them it's his job. However, if it wasn't his job it would be really weird to buy so many retro handhelds.
@@felipereyes1440 he's even said before the best emulator is your phone, this video reminded me on how pointless this channel is so I unsubbed. just no reason to spend over 100$ for an emulator in 2024. Dudes beating a dead horse at this point.
5:30 hope my livestream helped you out 😅
FYI, you can press X while highlighting a game in the menu to change the core you want to use!
Happy to say I’ve been content with just having the Miyoo mini plus as my only retro emulation handheld. However this one is tempting me. Loving the design and smaller size of this.
It's bigger than a plus but the screen looks the same size side by side

Bold move of a company to make a device named "Brick".
I kinda like its ugly name😂😂😂

Awesome vid as always, Bob. Keep it up!

Have you updated the firmware? Modded stock firmware V1.0.9-BASE-20241018-MOD-V3.1

I have a RGB 20 Pro and will tell you: you won't regret it. It's very comfortable, amazing screen. This Brick one looks super uncomfortable
@HumanForm-k4p Surely does look small and a smidge cramped, doesn't it? Can barely contain my excitement for my 20 Pro arrive. 😅

youre always reppin that bomberman hero ost hell ya
The screen and the blacks sold me on this device. I wanted a miyoo mini v4 but it doesn't have bluetooth for my earbuds! So th brick is the next step up!
This video was so good that my dad finally came home
😂
Hope he got the milk
Smart Pro is my personal budget handheld of the year. I'll hopefully get to pick up one of these bricks in the next year or so.
Most of what you are looking for including core switching is in Cross-MixOS which should be available any day now. Also Coss-MixOS has Portmaster
I never appreciated how smol the TrimUI Brick is, though.
It's a direct competitor for the miyoo mini plus. Because most vertical handhelds on the market now are.
That Bomberman Hero ost is one of the best
Mine is on the way. I love love love the TSP, so I was hopeful for this one, even though I know the experience will be different.

I guess that's not a terrible thing in the end because they can do it better than the manufacturers and they actually listen to the players.
The 40XXV is my favorite because I have big hands and the smaller devices feel very uncomfortable to use.
After playing around 60 hours on Miyoo Mini + and getting horizontal handheld with 4 inch display (ARC-D) - I decided to never touch vertical and under 4 inches screen, and my hands are upper limit of M glove size.
also the white one is the most aesthetic device in this price range.
0:31 It's like Adam Conover saying "With condoms available, we don't even need to get circumcized anymore"🤣
But seriously though, I still enjoy playing on the R36S. It's been (I think) 4 months since I got it and I still play with it. My uncle got an Anbernic.
Crossmix OS revitalized the TrimUI Smart Pro. It's a great handheld and can be had a lot cheaper now.
the way the DS emulator detects screens is cause the DS assigns "main" and "sub" screens during games and I'm assuming the fullscreen option just fullscreens whatever screen is set to main
Thank you for this review Bob, it is a sexy looking little device! 🥰
I hope this gets popular enough for TrimUI to release more colors. Until then, I'm chillin' with my Miyoo Mini
havent watched the video at all yet, but really like the style of this one and I like the glowing buttons on the front
Holy shit this guys still makes content, its been sooo long im glad i re-found this channel
Forthenext is a AWESOME channel
the trimui brick really looks like a very appealing option , offering something different for the first time on a while. i think its going to be a hit when custom firmware gets released
I feel like that's an actual convo with wulff den dad. Also, no friends?! Is Wood chopped liver?!
I want a handheld that will play ps2 and Wii.
Can't wait for the Retroid Pocket 5 review
it feels like 20 are out by now...
Are u making an Ayaneo Pocket DMG video?
There are so many of these things, you should do Tier list with Will. Or make a whole side channel, WulffHands. HandsDen.
Seems like a great option for GBA
2:51 it charged the phone SO FAST that it skipped the boot screen
With a better custom ui and hopefully a constantly running internal clock for games like Pokemon I can see this easily replacing the Miyoo for me in the future
Sounds amazing
Came for the handheld, stayed for the high as fck quality ad
This is Dope!
4:48 @WulffDen I don’t want to seem rude but there seems to be an editing error here
no no, he very clearly says that they're the kind of clicky that make him jizz
without crossmixOS thats a pass for me!!
with crossmixOS im going to buy that thing - really in love with the display!!
Very interested in this
im gonna get two of them
on the menu when you go to select the game, press and hold? x or y. It might jsut be press not sure.
That will allow you to switch the emu core!!
Get mine next week! White! 49$ no sd
I watch these and keep thinking Bob would really like the 35XX-H
For me it was one of the worst handhelds i had..
@jang.6097 I didn't like it after I got it. I went back to my 3DS and GBA SP . All of the issues I had with the H were fixed with muOS refried Beans
I personally just want something that can emulate ps2 games on the go that wont cost me a small fortune. But this has me interested
if you don't have a 35xx series handheld this is worth it , if you do its not simple as that
Question. Are you going to do a tier list in Decmember for the best/most versitile one of these Tiny Boys?
Got My 35xx because of your video. Still keep my N64 and GameCube library on my phone. It is worth lugging around a Razer Kishi 2 to me.
But just waiting for the bus and wipping the 35xx out for a few rounds of Sonic or Megaman is nice.
Wulff dad catching strays in the ad today
How's the fast forwarding? Is it easy to map and does it lag to much? I mostly use these devices for older RPGs where fast forwarding is really nice to have.
So this handheld comes with all the games on it already?
Your dad’s going to be stoked when he sees Super Car Blonde’s playboy shoot!
Surely Crossmix is an available firmware for this seeing the Smart Pro runs best on that?
the only thing i hate about the sp is how much the abxy buttons wobble they also feel weirdly high
i wonder if this device will result in a firmware update for the TSP, given that they run on the same hardware
Have you ever done any reviews of stick emulators for tv usage? Just wondering. Cheers
What do you mean by alittle smaller than a Miyoo mini plus because it’s definitely taller than the Miyoo mini plus. Do you mean Width wise?
Sadly my unit arrived with a broken light bar and missing screws in the casing :C Seller won't reply either. Sucks because this is basically the mini plus killer we've been waiting for
I think the netplay functionality is just retroarch netplay, don't quote me.
Miyoo killer?
There have been several miyoo killer contenders with better hardware than the mini plus. The one thing that's held them all back is the firmware. If one of these more powerful devices got a port of Onion OS or something identical it would be game over for miyoo.
Miyoo has already been surpassed so many times. The only thing keeping it alive is onion os and the loyal fans
@krayozmines surpassed by what? What's another vertical, pocketable 3.5" device that surpassed it?
Here's to hoping that Bomberman Hero or even 64 gets added to NSO. .
Smart to not use a Nintendo IP in the intro. UA-cam creators are evolving.
You need to change to crossmix os with TrimUI devices. Lot more emulators and optimisations
Do you think you'll cover the Retroid Pocket 5/mini or are you not interested?
I still don't really get the point of emulating a system with a control stick...if the emulation machine doesn't have a control stick? Just seems like overly limiting yourself.

how about just use a gameboy sp?
Uh...you can press X before launching the game and it allows you to pick what core you want to launch the game. Couldn't be much easier.

Retroid pocket mini or rg cube
Get a steamdeck. Don't waste time with chinese handhelds if you want high quality ps2 emulation
