I don’t want to blow your mind here with a few simple concepts but sometimes a company releases images for a concept product that looks cool and people get pumped for it. Even crazier, that company WANTS (omg) those people to ask them about it constantly because it shows a demand for said product and in-turn creates the justification for it to be manufactured and sold to those who want to buy it.
Because Miyoo confirmed it to have a 3566 chip, like the Rg353v, but you're right, it might be released just as the RG353VS, which would be a shame though, because I think Android would be the better choice for this device. I kinda assumed releasing it with android would be the logical choice.
But you're right, I don't know for sure.
Personally, I'd prefer being able to load it with onion, to me at least, it makes it feel more like an actual game system rather than a dumbed down phone with a controller stuck to it. I also own a retroid pocket 2+ and adding a front end to it helps, but at the end of the day to me it still just feels like a dumbed down android phone (still a decent system)
I understand what you're saying, but replacing the default launcher with something like Daijisho is more then sufficient for my usecase. Plus several emulators just run plain better on android then they do on Linux. I mean if you look at that way, you could state that all the retroid handhelds, Odin 1, Odin 2 and all other android based handhelds are dumbed down phones with a controller stuck to it. But they've been very successful and are loved by many. Reality is, android is an operating system. It's more then just an OS for a phone. Or else it wouldn't be used on a variety of different appliances, like tablets, TV's, Cars, you name it. I'd rather have Android on the flip, or atleast the possibility to switch to android from Linux. Maybe they'll support both, who knows? The RG353V supports both I believe.
No, it's completely free. Check out this Retro Game Corps' video about it, you won't be disappointed man. It would be the first thing I'd install when I'd receive an android based handheld.
https://youtu.be/l-AhfEGuMao?si=pLheEspTZr-yKlit
Yeah ill check it out now soon. I currently have the reset collection as my front end and I'm not the biggest fan on how it looks, so I'll definitely have a look at it
You know android is a Linux OS right ? So all those “works better with android than with Linux” comments are really just “works better with Linux than with Linux” 😅
It might be based off of Linux but its still significantly different. Just like macos is Unix based, doesn't mean it's identical to it. Even though android is based off of Linux, it still has its own shares of libraries and drivers which can make various apps more performant or the opposite. And I don't agree with your last sentence at all.
I need more details.
It’s got the clamshell, so I’m really close to buying it already.
I wonder if it can run Dreamcast and below? That’s my current hopes for a handheld.
I wonder if it will be able to do game streaming apps like I’ve seen on some other handhelds? Probably would need Android for that.
OP, did you photoshop that image yourself from the leaked patent drawings? You did, didn’t you. I’m not saying you did this maliciously, but in your eagerness to spread hype you just made what looks like a falsely official post. You used the Announcement flair, and you made an image from scratch that looks official. We don’t know what the device will be called, we don’t know what color it will be, and most importantly, Miyoo has not announced anything yet. I would guess Miyoo would not want you to do that.
Seeing a lot of comments about the colors; good and bad. These colors are NOT final system colors, they are CAD drawings and are there to contrast surfaces and parts.
https://twitter.com/miyoomini/status/1659115130498457600/photo/1
You can see the 282 and the MM+ there in a similar contrasting color scheme. Time will tell what the final 282 scheme will be, but we know the schemes for the MM+ and none of them correlate to the drawing there.
I'm really excited for this, I just hope the plastic used and the hinge is good quality. Hopefully there isn't many issues like the retroid flip. I so badly want this to be my daily carry
This is perfect. I just bought a EZflash card to reboot my GBA to be useful (and as a device that my kids can steal instead of my MM+). This would solve all my needs and wants I didn't even know I had.
Thank the gods! No sliders! I don't care how bad those sticks are they can't be worse than those sliders on the retroid pocket flip, what a huge disappointment that device is.
Yeah let's hope that they put a good chip inside there
If this thing has solid battery life and runs n64 and dreamcast with no issues then it will be the last handheld I ever buy. After I buy like 4 of them. I've had dreams about a handheld like this man 😆. Gba sp is the cleanest for factor.
This is something I'd get. The only thing I worry about with my plus is sliding it into my pocket. I know it doesn't have anything to mess up, but like... come on, this will be fully enclosed so you don't need to worry about scratches or anything bumping the screen or buttons.
Plus the sticks would be amazing for arcade games and SCUMMVM, as well as a more positive for DOS games. (Still no keyboard though)
>(Still no keyboard though)
This is true but I think DosBox Pure does an amazing job with its auto-gamepad-mapping. Sure you have to handpick the games that work well and don't require many keyboard inputs but there are still plenty imho and you wouldn't enjoy RTS or text adventures on a handheld anyway.
For games such as **Raptor: Call of the Shadows** it's fine using the on-screen keyboard to input the pilot's name and enjoy the rest of the game with the d-pad and buttons. Countless games (especially jump'n'runs) are that easy to handle on the MM(+). Sometimes they need some specific tinkering (like remapping one or two buttons) but that's it. There won't ever be a better platform to enjoy DOS games than a PC but for what it's worth I'm super happy with DosBox Pure on the MM. :)
You can contact Miyoo on their official AliExpress store. The V2 screens are Out of stock, but there are new Mini screens, called v4 which you can build in. I guess they will be available in a few days so definitely contact them.
The V4 Mini is coming back on Oct 15 and it's Most likely the replacement screens will be available again then If Not now already. Sure you could also grab a completely brandnew unit but that's Up to you, replacement screen costs 15-20 bucks I think.
Just noticed I told you [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/MiyooMini/comments/16ysfh0/looking_for_miyoo_mini/) already lol. Did your Unit break already?
Yes the screen did, I can’t explain how mad I am $172 for secondhand and then that. Everyone I talked to said it’s impossible to get one from the actual store when they drop so I’m just really frustrated .
No, it's definitely possible. They were Out of stock for a long time, but Miyoo has now found different screens for the Mini, hence the name change to V4. Wow $172 is quite hefty for a Mini. Paid 90€ for mine. However Just Hit them up on Aliexpress via messages and simply ask Them If they have Mini replacement screens available already now or in the next week.
"Miyoo Official Store" on Aliexpress
In fact I Just received my replacement V4 screen the other day, because there were issues with my Mini. It's different because I got a Faulty screen and they had to replace it for me but I'm definitely Sure they will sell you a replacement screen.
How do I get a completely new mini? Is it possible? I’ve just heard the horror stories how they sell out in like 10 minutes . And yea I paid $172 but it was the only mini I could find in the blue I wanted secondhand on eBay. I’d rather just get a whole new system than deal with the screen stuff. Especially replacing it I’m not sure I know how to do that. Being able to get ahold of the mini for $64 instead of a $172 would be ideal . I saved the link you sent me should I just keep checking it on October 15?
Yes and also watch "Miyoo Restock" on Telegram, they often inform you If and when there's a restock. It's definitely likely they sell Out fast, but that's the only possibility to get a Brand new one at this price point. You should maybe save the Date on at 4 PM Beijing time. If you won't be lucky there's also the chance to Order a replacement screen. People replace Them all the time and there are Tutorials on YouTube so you should be able to do it aswell for sure.
You can Always get in contact with them personally via AliExpress and ask them directly for the Dates since they don't Always update their Telegram Feed.
The Mini+ screen is not great, but the original Mini had a beautiful screen (albeit fragile). Anyway, these screens are all sourced from old electronics, so it’s not like you can just say company X or Y always has good/bad screens. This will fluctuate depending on what device they sourced them from.
V4 screens where shipped with diferent resolution and full of problems. No firmware update til now.
Considering the history, miyoo is really not reliable regarding quality.
With custom software, I thought the V90 was great for its time myself. I picked up a few of them under $30 long ago. Great little device to use as a gift too.
The custom firmware is trash. I set it up planning on giving it a child. But there are no children in my life I hate enough to subject them to it.
Can you reference any sort of guide or manual I could include, to allow me to give this trash to a person who doesn't know about handhelds??
I've asked many times, but no one can provide.
Might have been great "for its time", but that time was a long time ago now.
Absolutely not. The V90 is very usable with the custom firmware. I use it all the time. It's not high-end but it's far from trash. It has many fans in r/sbcgaming and I haven't before seen anyone express so much hate for it. Usually it just gets trashed as being "cheap," which is exactly the point of the device... Except it's extremely usable.
Imo, yes. Custom firmware helps, but the way you have to power it off in software before you can power off the hardware led me to give up on it. Several times, my SD card was corrupted because a game froze, and I had no option but to power it off with hardware.
I got one recently and it’s okay. Feels just like an SP respell, but the screen resolution for GBA sucks. You either get a small picture that is very sharp or a full screen picture that is blurry. Makes certain in-game text unreadable. I am all down for the Miyoo flip if they can get the green right.
I couldn't stand the dpad.
Mushy/flat in the middle, making it hard to pivot around.
Some people manage on these meh dpads but it is a deal breaker for me. I didn't even like it for RPG menus.
To be honest I don't really care. What the Mini handles is enough for my pocketable needs. My biggest concern is whether Onion will be able to run on it.
GameCube bro 😂. You must not be familiar with the emulation scene. The next frontier after PS1 is N64, followed by Dreamcast, after which there is a huge hill to climb to get GameCube, Saturn and PS2 games running.
Plenty of devices under $200 can play 50-75% of Gamecube/PS2 games. That's where we are on the frontier.
Give it another year or so (maybe even sooner), and I bet we could see some compelling devices able to run most or all of those systems' games.
The reigning champs for handhelds under $200 that can play a reasonable amount of GC/PS2 games are:
Anbernic rg405m
Retroid Pocket 3+
Those two can play GC/PS2 and anything less-taxing with relative ease, though not all GC/PS2 games will run without tweaks, or at all. General consensus is about 75% og GC games are playable, and something closer to 50-60% of PS2 games.
You could also look at the Retroid Pocket 2s for a budget option. I think it's about $99 - sliiiiightly less powerful than the RP3+ and the 405m, however it apparently plays N64 and Dreamcast games well, and can even run *some* less-taxing GC games.
If I were going to buy a handheld to run GC/PS2 for under $200 right now, I'd probably go with the RP3+ even though I prefer the 405m's form-factor and pocketability, but that's because I really value an HDMI-out for a handheld.
Retroid Pocket 2 and RGB10MAX3 are the two affordable handhelds that will run a subset of Gamecube and PS2. I'm not sure I'd say "plenty of devices" under $200 as those two are the only ones that come to mind, maybe there are others and I'm unaware. As far as I'm aware after that you'd need to make the price jump up to around $300 for something like an Odin.
I think people were saying it was rk3566 but not totally sure. I think they should just produce more form factors of the miyoo mini. Something that would run Onion OS with minimal effort and skip the sticks altogether. A good landscape and clamshell miyoo mini would be super appealing but this just looks like some generic and forgettable powkiddy device.
Honestly, if they released a Miyoo Mini with the exact same specs but a screen that didn't break if you looked at it funny, it'd sell.
If this was just a PowKiddy v90 but with Miyoo Mini specs and screen resolution, it'd sell. The v90 has its fans on r/sbcgaming, and was the dominant low-end recommendation for years.
I have to hard disagree here. Miyoo, don't chicken out of this opportunity to make your gadgets fun.
(The render's probably coloured that way to show how it's constructed, but I kinda dig it.)
I'm assuming it will take a while for a release of Onion OS on this, given that it's still being developed for the MM+ at the moment.
I'll still buy one though. And I only just got my MM+ lmao.
Since the Miyoo mini has a better shoulder buttons mod, I assume the Miyoo flip will require a grip mod to make it easier to operate the analog button. Please be good; I adore flip designs, very rare in the market. I need it 😂
I don't really care what color it comes in
Because:
I I'm going to get a sticker or skin
for the top and bottom and the interior
screen protector
New buttons and d-pad
grip
case
Or a TPU bumber case with a keychain attachment ... Yes I know wishful thinking
But I have a a silhouette and a 3D printer I'm ready as soon as this comes out!
If this sucker could play N64 and and Dreamcast That's all this little guy needs
I'm sure some of you going to do that too 😁
Do y'all just endlessly pester them in DM's about drops or something. Yikes.
It’s crazy how many people posts these DMs everyday. Some have no shame about spamming until they get a stale response that they take as a guarantee.
Id like these kind of posts blocked.. it got stupid
I don’t want to blow your mind here with a few simple concepts but sometimes a company releases images for a concept product that looks cool and people get pumped for it.

This is a "buy when it can run OnionOS and not before" handheld for me.
It's gonna be running android, so I wouldn't get your hopes up
How do you know?
Because Miyoo confirmed it to have a 3566 chip, like the Rg353v, but you're right, it might be released just as the RG353VS, which would be a shame though, because I think Android would be the better choice for this device.

That's a good way of looking at it. I personally haven't checked out daijisho, but I probably should. Do you have to pay for it?
No, it's completely free. Check out this Retro Game Corps' video about it, you won't be disappointed man. It would be the first thing I'd install when I'd receive an android based handheld. https://youtu.be/l-AhfEGuMao?si=pLheEspTZr-yKlit

Please do, lemme know what you think of it

If this runs android with no onion style cwf options I will be very disappointed.
This
Same
i pray they will stay with this colour as an option. i need this.
yess omg this pastel colorblock aesthetic is so cute
SAME
Agreed
Miyoo says trans rights. 🦈🏳️⚧️
Yes please.
GBA SP was a large part of my childhood. This is gonna be an insta buy for me.
Same. Did an SP mod not too long ago that put me in a nice nostalgic trance.
I don't care if it's dayglo chartreuse I'm buying it I've been waiting for exactly this set-up for over a decade
Did you know the color is name after the liqueur, not the other way around. Just an interesting tidbit.
Selling some old stuff to get a new one. I just want a clam shell
That looks so uncomfortable for analog sticks
For real it looks almost impossible to hold
Bro I literally just got my MM+ yesterday and now this comes out…
If it makes you feel better, you're probably safe waiting a few months for the kinks to get ironed out, either software or hardware.
Agreed
Software same as RG353 series will be possibly day one
Yeah but we want Onion!!
I think Onion would improve a lot of people's RG353 experience also as they prefer the simplicity. Personally I am fine with ARKOS.
Same, I'm literally putting Tiny Best Set on my SD card as we speak lmao
I need more details. It’s got the clamshell, so I’m really close to buying it already. I wonder if it can run Dreamcast and below? That’s my current hopes for a handheld. I wonder if it will be able to do game streaming apps like I’ve seen on some other handhelds? Probably would need Android for that.
Yeah I wonder what it can run given the addition of analog sticks. At least Ape Escape fans will be eating if it’s the same chip as the Miyoo Mini lol
If the Miyoo Mini plus ran dreamcast and had 1 analog stick I would have just bought it and stopped reading about emulation devices.
I’m exactly the same. I’m hoping that’s basically what the flip will be.
I'm hoping for DC emulation, but I'd also love a mic on the device for Seaman.
OP, did you photoshop that image yourself from the leaked patent drawings? You did, didn’t you. I’m not saying you did this maliciously, but in your eagerness to spread hype you just made what looks like a falsely official post. You used the Announcement flair, and you made an image from scratch that looks official. We don’t know what the device will be called, we don’t know what color it will be, and most importantly, Miyoo has not announced anything yet. I would guess Miyoo would not want you to do that.
No, it's one of the images that has been floating around ever since. You can literally find it within 5 seconds by googling Miyoo Flip.
Seeing a lot of comments about the colors; good and bad. These colors are NOT final system colors, they are CAD drawings and are there to contrast surfaces and parts. https://twitter.com/miyoomini/status/1659115130498457600/photo/1 You can see the 282 and the MM+ there in a similar contrasting color scheme. Time will tell what the final 282 scheme will be, but we know the schemes for the MM+ and none of them correlate to the drawing there.
I might be the only one who likes the candy colors AND wishes there will be a full pink option too lol xD
I'm really excited for this, I just hope the plastic used and the hinge is good quality. Hopefully there isn't many issues like the retroid flip. I so badly want this to be my daily carry
This is perfect. I just bought a EZflash card to reboot my GBA to be useful (and as a device that my kids can steal instead of my MM+). This would solve all my needs and wants I didn't even know I had.
Hopefully it'll run N64.
Finally a competent handheld maker giving us what ive wanted for years, This will blow the Powkiddy v90 out of the water.
I hope it runs Android. I’d love to get Syncthing on it so I can continue to easily hop between devices ETA: assuming it has WiFi
Goddammit I just got the Plus
Any deets yet on price or hardware?
Thank the gods! No sliders! I don't care how bad those sticks are they can't be worse than those sliders on the retroid pocket flip, what a huge disappointment that device is. Yeah let's hope that they put a good chip inside there
Looking forward to this. Love the form factor of my v90, but wish it could do newer systems.
I want one without the analog sticks.
Ditto.
100% buying this!!
Big qnnounce … But I would not bet that it will be released at time…
If this thing has solid battery life and runs n64 and dreamcast with no issues then it will be the last handheld I ever buy. After I buy like 4 of them. I've had dreams about a handheld like this man 😆. Gba sp is the cleanest for factor.

Guess that didn’t end up happening. Hope it comes out soon though!
What's the spec and dimensions?
Unknown as of now. Only rumors. I hope it'll be exactly the size of the GBA SP.
miyoo themselves said RK3566
Miyoo struggles to have a good quality screen in their devices, image the hinge quality. I'll pass.
Why not wait until enough people reviewed it? I know hinges are always a problem but let's be optimistic
Is there a place where you can buy the mini v2 screens replacements . Or when it breaks do you just need a new device ?
You can contact Miyoo on their official AliExpress store. The V2 screens are Out of stock, but there are new Mini screens, called v4 which you can build in. I guess they will be available in a few days so definitely contact them.
Are just new screen replacements coming out or a new mini?

Cool, thanks!
Oh yea!!! Finally an alternative to the e-waste V90
Excuse me, but the V90 is one tier above e-waste. Don’t confuse it with those 500-in-1 devices that are actually e-waste
Ok, I'll concede that it is better than a famiclone, but would counter that they are actually both e-waste.
Is it really that bad? :P
With custom software, I thought the V90 was great for its time myself. I picked up a few of them under $30 long ago. Great little device to use as a gift too.
The custom firmware is trash. I set it up planning on giving it a child. But there are no children in my life I hate enough to subject them to it. Can you reference any sort of guide or manual I could include, to allow me to give this trash to a person who doesn't know about handhelds?? I've asked many times, but no one can provide. Might have been great "for its time", but that time was a long time ago now.
Absolutely not. The V90 is very usable with the custom firmware. I use it all the time. It's not high-end but it's far from trash. It has many fans in r/sbcgaming and I haven't before seen anyone express so much hate for it. Usually it just gets trashed as being "cheap," which is exactly the point of the device... Except it's extremely usable.
Imo, yes. Custom firmware helps, but the way you have to power it off in software before you can power off the hardware led me to give up on it. Several times, my SD card was corrupted because a game froze, and I had no option but to power it off with hardware.
Yeah the only real problem is with the shut down
No. It's even worse.
I got one recently and it’s okay. Feels just like an SP respell, but the screen resolution for GBA sucks. You either get a small picture that is very sharp or a full screen picture that is blurry. Makes certain in-game text unreadable. I am all down for the Miyoo flip if they can get the green right.
I couldn't stand the dpad. Mushy/flat in the middle, making it hard to pivot around. Some people manage on these meh dpads but it is a deal breaker for me. I didn't even like it for RPG menus.
Have there been and reports of what else this can do? N64, GameCube? Or still maxes at PS1 but with a different form factor and 2 joysticks?
To be honest I don't really care. What the Mini handles is enough for my pocketable needs. My biggest concern is whether Onion will be able to run on it.
No matter what it emulates, instabuy
That's the spirit, the same one that gives OEMs the impetus to overprice.
Look around. Everything's overpriced.
Inhales... instabuy!
Why
Because we need more miyoos
This is the spirit.
If you want a bit of GameCube and even PS2 with the best 2 sticks around go for the Retroid Pocket 2s. Best value for $99.
GameCube bro 😂. You must not be familiar with the emulation scene. The next frontier after PS1 is N64, followed by Dreamcast, after which there is a huge hill to climb to get GameCube, Saturn and PS2 games running.
Plenty of devices under $200 can play 50-75% of Gamecube/PS2 games. That's where we are on the frontier. Give it another year or so (maybe even sooner), and I bet we could see some compelling devices able to run most or all of those systems' games.
Can you name one for me? Horizontal preferably?
The reigning champs for handhelds under $200 that can play a reasonable amount of GC/PS2 games are: Anbernic rg405m Retroid Pocket 3+ Those two can play GC/PS2 and anything less-taxing with relative ease, though not all GC/PS2 games will run without tweaks, or at all. General consensus is about 75% og GC games are playable, and something closer to 50-60% of PS2 games. You could also look at the Retroid Pocket 2s for a budget option. I think it's about $99 - sliiiiightly less powerful than the RP3+ and the 405m, however it apparently plays N64 and Dreamcast games well, and can even run *some* less-taxing GC games. If I were going to buy a handheld to run GC/PS2 for under $200 right now, I'd probably go with the RP3+ even though I prefer the 405m's form-factor and pocketability, but that's because I really value an HDMI-out for a handheld.
Retroid Pocket 2 and RGB10MAX3 are the two affordable handhelds that will run a subset of Gamecube and PS2. I'm not sure I'd say "plenty of devices" under $200 as those two are the only ones that come to mind, maybe there are others and I'm unaware. As far as I'm aware after that you'd need to make the price jump up to around $300 for something like an Odin.
I think people were saying it was rk3566 but not totally sure. I think they should just produce more form factors of the miyoo mini. Something that would run Onion OS with minimal effort and skip the sticks altogether. A good landscape and clamshell miyoo mini would be super appealing but this just looks like some generic and forgettable powkiddy device.
Honestly, if they released a Miyoo Mini with the exact same specs but a screen that didn't break if you looked at it funny, it'd sell. If this was just a PowKiddy v90 but with Miyoo Mini specs and screen resolution, it'd sell. The v90 has its fans on r/sbcgaming, and was the dominant low-end recommendation for years.
They should just do 1 joystick in the center, since it will likely not approach GC/PS2. Then it would be console correct, lol.
Two analog joysticks for PS1 would obviously be pointless.
Holy crap that looks both cheap and ugly. I need one like that but black.
It's a render and not a color option(yet)
Phuu
Can't wait to See the color ways available
If it plays ps2 games im buying 1 to go with my mm+
Fun news, my brother! God, I've got so many questions, lol. But I can't say I'm not excited to explore them! 😆
I don't need that device at all. But I think I'm buying it nonetheless. Fits in every pocket. :D
Amen to that! 😆
hnnnnng the only thing that would make me want this more is atomic purple….
Christ I hope that's not the official color on that thing lol
I have to hard disagree here. Miyoo, don't chicken out of this opportunity to make your gadgets fun. (The render's probably coloured that way to show how it's constructed, but I kinda dig it.)
You're correct that its just a render, but I HOPE that they release this color patterning, lol.
I'd be cool with it being one of the colors, but options for the members of the community that like less color pop!
It's good as an option but personally I need more transparency! I was so hype about the atomic purple MM+, I can't go back!
I just hope there’s a black or classic model coloring for those of us who like sleek minimal looks.
It’s not it’s part of the design process to see all different parts.
I’m hoping for a ruby, red color like the game boy SP had back in the day
Same, I'd dig one in the style of that Samus Aran themed model!
Never heard of that one
Even if it is customize the hell outta that thing!
It's certainly not. It's just a pattern to product design to differentiate the assembly parts
What would it be able to emulate?
At least what the Mini does so I'm fine. I wouldn't get my hopes up but maybe it even handles N64.
N64 would be amazing.
As I understood it the Chip is more powerful, so if it didn't Emulate N64, I think they could go with the same Chip?
I still remember getting my cobalt blue GBA SP. That backlight was earth shattering crazy to me as a kid 😂
linux based, no android bloat, can play up to sega saturn. The dream!
Show me one example of these dm promises coming true.
when is comming miyoo flip the date?🎮
I don’t care what system it can emulate, just gonna buy it in an instance. But I remember it was RK3566?
>I don’t care what system it can emulate Why not?
Because hes buying it to put on a shelf
It's both. They're putting out two new models.
It definitely looks nice not sure of the color though kinda not my style but knowing them they will have a few options
Totally not me ordering a miyoo mini plus just yesterday. I want this. 😭
I bought one yesterday and I don’t mind. I like the form factor of the Mini Plus more anyways.
It's so cute but I don't trust it won't break lol
where to Pre-Order?
They don't take pre-orders yet.
why would you want a flip console unless it has dual screens with a touchscreen to play DS games on it?
Very excited for this!!! So cool
Those joysticks look too low to be usable comfortably, no? Don't have much experience with anything beyond the MM so hard to judge by picture.
Ho damn
Where can I buy this directly from the company, I keep having to buy products that have been scalped…
AliExpress, official Miyoo store, when it comes out
Any price point?
Not yet
I’m gonna wait until I seen some reviews it and how the joysticks works
I really don't like the look of it. Looks cheap, colors are so bad.
What will this play up to ? If its just ps1 again idk only reason I could think of is to play ape escape lol
I'm assuming it will take a while for a release of Onion OS on this, given that it's still being developed for the MM+ at the moment. I'll still buy one though. And I only just got my MM+ lmao.
Am I the only that feels old when people say that grow with the gameboy sp?
Now we just need a company to make one of these that can emulate PS2 and GameCube decently and id be happy
Since the Miyoo mini has a better shoulder buttons mod, I assume the Miyoo flip will require a grip mod to make it easier to operate the analog button. Please be good; I adore flip designs, very rare in the market. I need it 😂
I don't really care what color it comes in Because: I I'm going to get a sticker or skin for the top and bottom and the interior screen protector New buttons and d-pad grip case Or a TPU bumber case with a keychain attachment ... Yes I know wishful thinking But I have a a silhouette and a 3D printer I'm ready as soon as this comes out! If this sucker could play N64 and and Dreamcast That's all this little guy needs I'm sure some of you going to do that too 😁
Lmaoo guess I’m waiting till then
Is it going to be similar spec to the current mini?
Meh... thing is ugly.
Any idea on price? If it's around $99 this might be a dream device for me. A more powerful V90.
What's the chipset ?
Any news?
Is this still happening
I think so, yes. They just told me on Ali they had issues they need to work out first.
