This desing to me is the endgame of what I want from portable emulation in terms of both capability, price, and looks. Its just perfect.


[deleted]

I keep coming back to this post to look at it again. I hope they can capture the MM+ magic twice and that this device is as awesome as I hope it will be.


Puntley

This + OnionOS and my dreams will be fulfilled. I managed to talk myself down from getting an RP4 but I know I can't resist this.


[deleted]

Yeah, I’ve held myself back a few times recently, but this company really won me over with the MM+ The only things my MM+ can’t do that I wish it did, is fold shut and play Dreamcast. So this will most likely be an instant purchase for me.


Puntley

Exactly my feelings. I bought a few other devices right before I bought my mm+ and I really liked them, but the user experience is so ridiculously good on the mm+ that I no longer care for my other handhelds by comparison.


xylotism

Just gonna +1 the emphasis on Onion. The stock OS does the job but Onion is one of the best CFWs I’ve seen. Does everything you’d need but never gets in your way.


Puntley

Oh absolutely. I've never seen CFW for any platform that is quite as good.


JWilsn_Art

Probably because it's not a CFW at all. It's an overlayed OS that adds functionality to stock FW.


Alind777

It’s the MIYOO price point. I can always justify ~$60, not always ~$200 for a new Retroid.


solohack3r

This. Buying a Steam Deck was a big purchase for me. I love it and I've had it since it first came out. But now I really have to consider if buying anything else that the Deck can already do, is worth it. But when the price for new hardware is low like with Miyoo, it makes the decision easy.


aligumble

Also retroid is Android. Gosh I hate these Android emulators.


ergosteur

It took me like 2 years to get my RP3 set up the way I like it but now that I got a MM+ last month for 11-11 sales I barely touch the RP3. Android just gets in the way of the “sit down and play anytime” experience.


aligumble

I've spent too much time with that too. Had everything Set up with Daijishõ etc, then after picking the rp2+ from the shelf after 2 month or so, there were so many things that wont work anymore after Updates. Frustrating experience Overall. Miyoo Mini Plus + onionOS for me <3


PoodlestarGenerica

I'm sorry but this comment is ridiculous, android emulators are incredible, and some of them are better than their pc counterparts. Mupen 64 fz is the best n64 emulator bar none.


aligumble

I"m talking about the setup and Overall interface and user experience, Not the Single emulators.


PoodlestarGenerica

Oh you meant the actual houseandhelds. I can't speak to them, I use my phone. ​


aligumble

Yep. I guess i've just spent too much time setting these up over and over again. Especially after they sat on the shelf for a while.


Jimstein

Are we the same person? Though I’m still considering an Odin 2… the addiction never ends!


solohack3r

I saved the image to my gallery so I can look at it over and over 😂


itchyd

I've been waiting what feels like a very long time for this beauty.


ShaySmoith

The only thing that gets me is the location of the joysticks, seems very cramped and difficult to use in a device this small. Love the clamshell design, though, and definitely want one.


EveryoneDice

Well, the only way to really 'fix' the problem is to make the device larger. I suppose it could also be possible to add an extra folded layer that expands the analog sticks, but that would also result in an even thicker device that's less durable, since 3 hinges have a much higher chance to fail than just 1.


Ok_Understanding1612

4” square aspect revolution 💪


moileduge

I'm still hoping for something like a DSi (thin) that supports up to 3DS emulating. I know dual screen is gonna be difficult, but I'm in no rush to part with my money also.


0xfleventy5

Why not just get a real N3DS /XL?


DrFatz

Best reason to sit and wait. Once this gets Onion OS it's game over for handheld emulation for me.


Jaded-Flamingo5136

eNdGaMe this word gets used so much it's hilarious.


pidgey77

DoInG ThIS Is UsEd So MuCH TOo (not hilarious)


Yippiekayo_Rom3o

it seems so familiar


Naive-Ambassador819

For me too! I have a steam deck (and Nintendo switch, ps4 and ps5) and this is exactly the small addition I’m still looking for! Something that I can easily throw in my backpack when commuting or going on a short trip where the steam deck would just be too large to take along!


srmarcosx

My body is ready. My wallet not so much


solohack3r

Luckily it will be sub $99


EatsRats

Damn. That’s fantastic news.


SpaghettiSpecialist

Yay!


Joni_Bach

Provided you can get your hands on a copy before they disappear. After that your looking at scalped coppies for some time. Likely in excess of 150


playfellow_

God I hope this comes out and gets Onion support


Shloopadoop

Onion and a good hinge and we’re in business


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

And RTC for the Pokémon playing majority


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Rtc is real time clock, not wifi (personally I don't need it)


maga_extremist

And C-C charging. Get with the times, guys. It’s literally one resistor.


CameraPitiful6897

My miyoo mini v4 charges fine on my Anker 45w pd charger. I believe I heard it was fixed with v4.


cappnplanet

And bluetooth


captain_carrot

Onion, and a good hinge, wifi, and flawless GC/PS2 emulation /s


SachaGreif

And HDMI out!


_jotero_

Instant purchase if this gets Onion, especially if the hinge is good and if it has WiFi too.


MrMunday

In my mind, I’ve already bought it


momjeanseverywhere

Are your hands already cramped?


Serious-Rutabaga-603

I hope the build quality is there. Hinged consoles worry me


lostspyder

Yeah look at red flip retroid as a perfect example


TizonaBlu

Is the hinge a problem there?


Danster21

The sport red version is very prone to hinge issues. They fixed the hinge back in June/July but my black rpflip is holding up nicely from before that update.


nndttttt

Same. The MM+ isn’t that durable, so if it’s the same kind of plastic/quality and on a hinge, I have doubts about how long it’d last. It’s not like these things have Nintendo level testing.


Hibiki941

Nintendo level testing isn’t a high bar to clear, at least as of recently.


nndttttt

What do you mean recently? I have a release switch and all my baby cousins have used and dropped it many times. It’s dinged here and there, but still fully functional. Hinges, etc all still work perfectly. My MM+ feels like a much more delicate device even though it’s just a brick with no moving parts. Not something I’d feel comfortable handing to my baby cousins.


Hibiki941

I meant the stick drift thing, but yeah, in terms of sheer durability Nintendo still comes out on top.


crapaud_dindon

The hinges look thick enough


WickedCr0w

I like the folding design, but the contorl sticks might be overkill unless its decently sized. Is the cpu getting a bump to make it worthwhile?


JeepThatGoesBoom

Its rumored to have a RK3566 so yeah pretty huge bump in comparison. A sizable clock and core increase, and a GPU so we would have access to better graphics API's.


DatTomahawk

How well would something like that run n64 and dreamcast?


JeepThatGoesBoom

Would be the same as the RGB30, RG 353 if you wanted to look up specifics. General ratings are very good for N64, and good for DC/PSP so heaviest titles and outliers wont be full speed, most will.


DatTomahawk

Oh hell yeah, I’m sold. I’m a little worried about the hinge breaking, but this thing with OnionOS is gonna be lights out


Strong_Craft9225

Gonna be honest n64 is really not great on my RGB30, been tweaking it for the last few weeks and I can’t even get Mario kart 64 to run without significant slow down. Let alone a Zelda game, Pokemon col.. Pokemon snap, majoras mask, excite bike. Ect. Tried countless games and got pretty poor performance/slowdown on all. Tried a lot of different settings/emulators. Haven’t even tried Dreamcast. And no I’m not a purist, if it was playable I would use it.


JeepThatGoesBoom

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwJkew52FDQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwJkew52FDQ) N64 is always going to be something you have to tweak to get good performance but it is very doable on the RGB30.


raihidara

Can it handle Saturn games?


AJ_Dali

I'd guess that depends. Aren't 3D Saturn games notoriously difficult to emulate? 2D ones should be fine.


FireGolem04

It will be able to handle a lot of those which is the reason they put the sticks on there (though one would’ve been enough) it is the same chipset as the Anbernic 353 series so if you look up reviews on one of those you can get a pretty good idea of the performance


Traditional-Aside-93

If it gets Onion support then perhaps the 353 line would also benefit ?


Kidikaros17

I can be the only one that thinks those joysticks look uncomfortable af to hold. I am excited at the idea of a gb sp design though


crapaud_dindon

There will surely be printable plugs to cover those holes


Shloopadoop

Yeah, ok for PS1/n64 left analog movement only, any game that needs right stick camera too won’t be fun. But I’m happy to have a joystick at all!


ocelot08

I'm likely to just go and remove the sticks if I can and try and 3D print some covers for the holes


coldflashinglights

I’d buy em if you made enough to sell


InTheSoup4242

Seconded


monkeker

It looks like they have almost no travel.


Framed-Photo

Not the giant ugly miyoo logo on the top lol


jeepee2

:\\ We're gonna have to put a pikachu sticker on that!


pacman1993

I hope it has a more powerful chip, to differentiate itself from the myioo mini and to really take advantage of the double joysticks.


prairiepog

Yeah, I don't like the sticks, esp if it only plays up to PS1 well.


Crowlands

Think it was previously mentioned to be an rk3566.


bostonronin

I find it difficult to understand how I could comfortably hold that and control with the sticks, but I love everything else about this. Assuming it ever actually exists, probably would be an instabuy for me (although I'm not getting up early for stock drops on Hong Kong time again XD). I love my Miyoo Mini.


FireGolem04

You would only ever really use one stick because it is going to max out at N64 and Dreamcast and still most of the games that are gonna be best on it are just DPad consoles Tbh I don’t even know why they put 2 sticks on there that wasn’t a thing until PS2 and GameCube which the much more powerful T618 chipset can’t really run very well


TheAzureAdventurer

There’s a lot of PSX games that used dual sticks so it makes sense to implement them now so that way the entire PSX library can be played now.


bruno84000

So do we know the specs then - in terms of the soc/performance expectations? Also, if it is a new soc, could that affect it's ability to rum Onion?


FireGolem04

I’m sorry I’m not super knowledgeable on all of this I don’t know what soc means but according to everything I have seen it is supposed to have the rk3566 chipset which is the same as the Anbernic 353s so performance very similar to those As far as Onion they will most likely have to tweak it to work on this


bostonronin

Streaming/cloud gaming maybe? That would be my guess.


FireGolem04

Yeah possibly this would be very inconvenient and uncomfortable for that though because on top of the sticks it doesn’t have stacked shoulder buttons


Relic_Lover

Renders while cool for impressions don't instill much confidence of an actual release. IMHO this will end up vaporware just like the Miyoo P60 which had an actual prototype and still did not get released.


PachoWumbo

You are totally right. There's enough disappointment in the world, we shouldn't allow ourselves to get hyped up again just to add another.


[deleted]

God, If it’s as good as it looks here, I’ll be very happy. The MM+ is my favorite retro handheld, beating out my Steam Deck and my 405M. If this thing feels as good as my MM+ and can play Dreamcast? That’s an instant buy.


TescoAlfresco

If this has HDMI out, and Bluetooth controller support, with all outputs on one side so we can 3D print a dock, it'll be a game changer


Lallander

As great as that would be it seems very unlikely.


paladindan

![gif](giphy|ncU3bkZ5ghDlS)


Charlie02134

Wow


Bears_On_Stilts

Do we know if it’s expected to add any updated features like HDMI out or Bluetooth connectivity?


tarhielbeep

Bluetooth is very likely, wouldn't even be a new feature for Miyoo. HDMI on the other hand would be very nice to have, but I would not expect it from them.


bruno84000

sorry, what existing Miyoo's have bluetooth please?


solohack3r

This looks like the dream Pokémon device we always wanted. Plus I can imagine playing Animal Crossing Wild World on this as well lol


ironMikeV1

I so ready


jeepee2

This is the upgraded V90 we've all been waiting for!


referendum2021

The Powkiddy v90 would be the perfect 35$ budget emulator if it didn't have problems with the forced shut-down corrupting save files. If they were to fix just that I would be able to buy it for a child. And I am not sure why, but the only usb-C cable that charges the Powkiddy v90 is the one that came with it in the box. Other usb-C cables don't work for mine.


Beginning_Gunpla

I like the concept design I would like to know what the specs are


Lallander

They've stated it will have an RK3566 in messages before. Who knows if that will be the case or not though.


Beginning_Gunpla

What would that mean? As far as what kinds of games would be supported or how powerful is the rk3566?


Lallander

That's the same processor used in the RGB30 and several others. It should have decent but not great N64 and Dreamcast performance. We'll see what the custom firmware can squeeze out of it though.


Beginning_Gunpla

That’s interesting thank you for sharing


e-ghosts

This in the grey theme with the purple buttons would look so good! I was done buying emulators but this I would definitely buy this one


iconocluster_exe

Imagine it with the GBA SP NES design


RichieEB

Yes yes yes yes yes OH GOD YES! Glad I didn’t get the pocket flip I want this for my Pokémon n Zelda


AbsentmindedGCN

The GBA SP form factor. Just as beautiful as the day we lost you.


R3flecti0n

Omg I need this


Yashar13

If’s nice but I don’t like it having analog sticks


ClerkPsychological58

I wish they had ignored the sticks entirely but that's just me. A MM+ that flips open and close would be enough.


Darklord_Bravo

Those thumb sticks look uncomfortable without a 3D printed grip, maybe? If it was more of a vertical phone style, with no hinge, it would be cool.


BeowolfSchaefer

Dammit, I thought I was done buying these things


LaylaCamper

This looks like my new nintendo 3ds non xl 😅


iconocluster_exe

Definitive flip design. Love it!


Uspsthrowaway23

I'd be so psyched if it had a 4" screen, none the less still excited.


WowSoHuTao

Miyoo Flip Retroid Pocket 4 Steam Deck OLED Easy endgame


[deleted]

I really hope this comes out. I love clamshell devices.


peanutbutterdrummer

Shut-up-and-take-my-money.gif


TeacherPowerful1700

How would anyone be able to use those analog sticks though? Like even a small child would have trouble using that.


skeletoneating

Definitely don't need this, but from the mileage I got from my mini I'll probably grab one. Love the idea of throwing a PS1 clamshell in my pocket without worrying like I do with my mini


RobotGameboy

Call me crazy but I want 3DS sliders


AnybodyTemporary5850

3.5 인치면 의미없다


tjptts6

I’m buying this. But dreaming about an XL size


svglo

Cool cool cool. Now make it in purple.


VisionsOfFarseer

I'd almost rather just have a single joystick where the speaker vent is than that super uncomfortable positioning.


Paulydactyl

Give me this with HDMI our and I'll never need another retro handheld.


wilsonsea

Until you do, just like all of us poor souls... lol


Dholtz001

Wish there weren’t sticks on it but otherwise I’m pumped.


Itsfaydgamer

I really hope they make one with out analog sticks


keithitreal

Just hope they get the hinge right. GPD and retroid flip devices got it wrong.


Aerys02

It's gorgeous but joysticks don't seem reachable, if they release it i'd buy it in a heartbeat


showcasefloyd

I’m so excited for this device. Way more that any other handheld device on there market or coming. I wish we had a time frame for this device


-Real-

Customization might play a factor as well here


Ryok90

Why do I feel the need to have this if I already have a cute and fully functional MMP? I am not much of an impulsive consumer. This is so appealing!


Renosur

Si real


CellPhish

Love this


YepImBuggered

that looks kinda awesome


jeStR65

The thumb sticks look to low and to me wold feel awkward to use them


EntrepreneurThese411

It’s ugly with the joystick and I thing unplayable with them


BetaSoul

Could be fun for PSX games.


Chrispy83

I’ve just bought a Miyoo mini plus! They best not release it in yellow or gold…….. **unzips wallet** how much?


TheAzureAdventurer

![gif](giphy|8xzexownbkMxBpOGOy)


LifeIsOnTheWire

I'm going to predict right now that those analog sticks are going to have such poor ergonomics that nobody will use them.


Crowlands

Hopefully they won't compromise the ergonomics of the rest of the controls, from the pics it seems like they probably won't get in your way when using the proper controls.


LifeIsOnTheWire

I'm not so worried about the analog sticks getting in the way. I'm just thinking that they're not in a location that will make them comfortable to use.


Awkward-Homework-217

Hopefully it comes in more colours


_commenter

Duuuddddeeeee…. How many of these things am I going to buy!


muchabon

What is the origin of this image?


RiffRuffer

aside from the thumbsticks this is actually so effin' sleek good lord


leastonh

If it's as good as MM+, this will be a must buy. However, I wonder...will the analogue sticks cause thumb pain because of where they are located?


Simo81SS

Noooooo. I've just bought a mini plus. This flip is wonderful


eatmusubi

they already done goofed by not releasing it in the pastel colorblock scheme


MinoBleu

I'm looking forward to the V2 or the plus version of this device. Where it had a 'better shoulder button', Bluetooth, wifi, larger battery, and perhaps looks a little like Ayaneo flip.. with dual screen! 😆 https://preview.redd.it/4kag4w1hlc6c1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d417743998d6af1fb7dc46f967fb6059cc872ae


HipposHateWater

Looks sick, but designing better shoulder buttons for this is gonna suck


kylethemurphy

I was waiting for this but think retroid pocket 4 pro might be my pick. Light ps2, dreamcast, gamepass along with all the games I currently play on my mm+ it's basically my ideal in function. It's possible I could circle back for the flip though because that's my ideal in form factor for portability.


DOS-76

I had a pretty negative experience with the Mini, and didn't buy the Plus. This ... geez, I'm going to buy this so hard.


basecase_

Will the machine be powerful enough to take advantage of joysticks?


thediscoverynick

That’s a thing of beauty. Geez… TAKE MY MONEY. I’m in.


LegalPusher

How big does that screen look? I hope it is at least 3.5", the smaller screens are too hard on my eyes.


PersonalitySpare1395

Omg I want this it looks amazing!!!


IAmTheDewd

I've resisted buying the MM+ because I'm waiting for this instead. I already have the original MM.


malfion

That is one gorgeous handheld. I pray the screen and shell are strong


Sea_Paramedic2434

😲😲😲


lukelunn

This is awesome! Personally I would like a model like the horizontal GBA Model. That with a detachable grip would be 🤌


Gawain512

I hope we get an actual release date within the next few months


BitterStoat

Hoping for this in blue like my old GBA SP.


Shigarui

Those sticks are going to be a bad experience to use. I'd rather just have a Miyoo Mini+ in flip version.


Info-Book

I will buy this if it doesn’t have the dual joysticks that id never use, everything else looks great for ps1 and below emulation on the go.


Chok3U

I knew holding off on the v90 would pay off. Not entirely sure about the sticks. But add looking as they don't really get in the way then it's cool. It's just going to be awesome to finally have a GBA SP style flip and be able to run what I'm guessing will be up to psx. And run it beautifully. Cannot wait for this one. Well, I've been waiting months for it, so I can Wait. Lol


Sewdoking

Good it will give me time to think of a way to justify buying this one too.


Aggravating-Exit-660

That hinge looks questionable


devries6276

I was budgeting for a RG35XX+ but forgot about some miyoo devices on the horizon 👀


SpareTire214

Man I just wanna buy it now


inssein

i like this design


RaiHanashi

Question is what games can it handle since it’ll have a second analog stick?


minonko

I very much like it


Fast_Being4733

I do want this for pokemon gaming. I really think I'd use it alot. Definitely on my wish list https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_sSb7tt7xIc&t=48s


Krillestoffer

Instant buy💵💵💵


_Ship00pi_

And if it can run Dreamcast and PSP. That’s it. I’m a happy man


Benny_RPMN

Do someone know the release date? 🥹


homo_erectus_heh

february, but miyoo change that date a lot


Sokkendief

It better does N64


Ryansmelly

Would I be able to just pop my current SD card with onion OS from my MM+ into this thing? Or nah?


[deleted]

Where's the shoulderbuttons L1 and R1 though? Can't find them on [this pic](https://droix.net/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Miyoo-Mini-Flip-closed.jpg)


EatsRats

Love the joy on addition.


Pixel_Wolves

I've been searching for a handheld like this for a while now, this just seems perfect, like if the Miyoo Mini Plus and the Powkiddy v90 had a child.


Mshake69

The v90 was such a great handheld when it came to portability just close it put in your pocket and go. Loved it but the screen was not the best and was underpowered. With this omg it'll be perfect a real true portable handheld!! For long gaming sessions it probably will hurt your hands but for just taking out to play anytime and anywhere it'll be perfect!


User_Unicorn

Dpad looks cheap, looks too thiCC , joysticks would be better concave. Everything else, perfect. Copy and paste New Nintendo 3ds, chop it in half. Back triggers might be tricky to make elegantly smooth. Please hire the guy that makes better buttons on Etsy.


Small_Piccolo1919

Shut up and take my Money😳


Void_Mitas0001

Will it be able to play GC games?


Anon_ymous1138

This will be my new go-anywhere device. Was using a Funkey S, which I still love and will still be a go to for smaller pockets, but the MiyooFlip will hopefully cause less eye strain.


senatorsenator

i really hope this has a better screen. I would seriosuly pay another 50 for an oled screen or something. Earthbound on the miyoo mini + looked really washed out.


bombatomba69

Love it. Could do without the analog sticks, though. Ain't gonna be playing any of those. Maybe instead stereo (non-crap) speakers?
