DaveWhat's on your handheld at the moment?
HexagonSunRGR353V here. But having since tried a Miyoo Mini I’m jealous of your screen!
Advance Wars is indeed great on these.
I’ve been playing Final Fantasy VI for the first time, disastrously so far. Lost many hours of playthrough after choosing a “backup” option in the menu that failed and ironically actually deleted all my saves.
Having a better time with ArkOS installed.
Almost at the end, but it’s a long game so I’m flagging slightly now after almost having to play it through twice!
Been tempted to pick one of these up, or a variety at least. What’s the main differences between yours and OPs and which would you recommend in the end?
Can’t comment on the main differences (other than the obvious lack of sticks on mine), but I would say I definitely recommend a device like them.
I was surprised by how good quality it was, and for about 60 quid as well. I’ve played through games I never played before, it’s ideal just to throw in a bag and pull out when you have some time.
Not bad for what you’re getting! Do they sell them in shops or are they all online?
Only seen them online. They’re legally very questionable, using case designs and symbols from Nintendo and Sony, and often shipping with SD cards stuffed full of ROMs, so exist in a very grey area where I don’t think you’d get many shops selling them.
Prices vary wildly also, so worth shopping around, but also using a site you can trust for refunds.
My first unit had a faulty microSD slot. My second one had a slight bright patch on the display, which is now barely noticeable after I tightened all the screws around the screen a bit more.
Sorry, I missed this question before.
If you want a decent value handheld there seems to be very little to choose between the Miyoo Mini + and Anbernic RG353XX. Both very similar and similar pricing. Both equally capable.
I thought the Miyoo Mini + possibly had the superior screen when I tried one, but Anbernic screens are still good.
People have had some quality control issues with both I believe, but they’re mainly decent.
Then mine is an RG353V. It has analogue thumbsticks, so could be better for games like Gran Turismo. Also mine runs Android and has a touchscreen (which hasn’t been all that useful to me, I’ll admit. But supposedly some emulation is superior on Android so it could be better for N64 games, or so I’ve heard.
But totally agree that either way, just in general, they’re good. Size, weight, and low cost means you can take them everywhere and don’t feel as precious about ever damaging or losing it as you would with a Switch as they’re so much cheaper.
Playin a lot of Tetris (the original is the best), Bezerk, Time Pilot(s), Pepper II and SuperBomberman. Just fast enough to pick up, kill a few rounds, freeze and get back to work.
For the Miyoo, with Onion or Garlic, the Tiny Best Set Go is the best companion a boy can have.
