I love my miyoo mini plus!

Hear hear! Nice, compact, and I've put about 400 hours into mine, so that cost to time ratio is like 20cents/hr.

I have an Anbernic RG35XXH and an RG34XX. I like them both; the 35 feels a bit better in my hands but I like the color of the glacier 34XX.

I’ve been using the Knulli firmware and it has been quite nice.

I ordered a Steam Deck yesterday (not from Valve directly, as that'd take ages to deliver). I'll probably use that for retro gaming.

Yeah, seems powerful enough for anything pre-HDMI at least. If it's newer than that, I probably still have the actual hardware plugged in...

I recently got a few of these. Miyoo A30, Ambernic RG 28XX and 35XXH as well as an R36s.

My advise is do your research before buying since all had issues.

Miyoo A30 has a minuscule battery life (4-6 hours) and had poor thermals (hot to touch). And while it promises PSP and DS compatibility, you’d be lucky to run basic 2d games from these systems.

R36s I got was a clone system and finding a real one is like finding a needle in a haystack. The buttons were cheap feeling and with the older processor (same as real one) it’s no better than the A30.

Anbernic systems performed the same and was the best experience… until my 35XXH tried to set itself on fire. Thankfully it didn’t and while talking to support was like talking to a chat bot. I was able to get a replacement. So far no fire.

Eying the Ayn Thor.
But the Anbernic dual screen is also tempting. But I fear that one will be outdated faster.
