i like the way you elaborate this crazy console 😉

Best Handheld to modify! Adding heatsink and other stuff is fun on this device.

The last week I’ve upgrade twice. I am now currently waiting for this one. I hope it’s good enough to keep. So many it’s overwhelming 😂

Haha! Welcome to my life. My wife sees a box come in and she's automatically assuming it's a handheld at this point. 😂

I just ordered on from Walmart for 28 including the 3 year warranty, can't wait to get it n bring it to work

It’s perfect i have it , has the best look but the problem is how the buttons feels like but it works

Bought mine off aliexpress 39$ pretty good have not got it yet bought it last week :)

I think that console works amazing I got mine

Man gonna add this thing to my Xmas list such a cool little handheld to have in pitch

so many to choose from lol, I went with the miyoo mini + & I'm loving it so far! No more steam deck falling on my face in bed lololol

Hahaha! I'm guilty of the same thing from time to time.

All the cons become easy to bear because of the low price (this thing can run anything up to ps1 flawlessly some sega dreamcast and some psp tittles but it can become better if they add bluetooth, wifi, micro hdmi and usb access to the sd cards, it can run other firmwares beside the arkos that comes included.

Have you ever used any of the newer external GPU’s? I’d be curious to know if there’s any that could be used with the steam deck safely.

@baldlyrudy

Yup. I've heard of them, but SteamOS doesn't support eGPU, IIRC. It only works on WIndows. Unless Valve released some update for SteamOS that I'm not aware of.

I believe this also comes in a transparent orange. Also, some Amazon sellers offer this device with high quality memory cards which also offsets the costs a bit. Well done video! Thank you.

Thanks for the information! I didn't realize there was an orange one. I was so disappointed by that SD card, btw.

​​@@baldlyrudyThe $2 Kodak branded 64GB cards on AliExpress has proven durable so far. I buy these handhelds by the dozen as gifts and haven't run into a single failure or slowdown with these cheap Kodak U3 cards. They're surprisingly fast. Faster than most of my real name brand cards including Samsung and Sandisk.

Wait, it doesn't come with all of the 15000 games pre download and ready to play? I have to download them myself online to the SD card? Am I hearing that correctly?

No. Not really. Usually they come with all those games, but my unit was a dud when it arrived.

There is also Orange, Red and Blue colors ;)

It costs twice as much, but I suggest a VITA. It does this and so much MORE!

For 80 as much as this cost I would just pick up a refurb PSP and be done with it ... Or source parts and a scuffy one and just and do a custom one myself roughly would cost the same. Would take more time to actually sit down and play but it is a nice project for those who like tinkering and fixing stuff. But yeah if I would have a bigger budget I would go for a Vita too. Sadly as of now I have no budget for any of these but just saying what I would do if given a chance, what would be a more logical approach and I will surely do it in the near future (hopefully so) aka when "life" allows it ...

It does come with games pre-installed. I think the card that had the OS that came with mine was a dud.

Ok, so long story short, if you have an RG353v, this is not a replacement. Gotcha.

@baldlyrudy

Ай бұрын

100%. The RG353V is over double the price of this thing. You get more functionality, but at a higher cost.

Try moving the mic a bit for speech legibility. when it's below the chin it loses detail.

@baldlyrudy

Ай бұрын

Appreciate the feedback. I think I'm going to turn up the gain a bit next time.

I would rather have dual speakers over dual analog sticks any day.

I know a lot of people love the R36S. It is a good cheap option for the power it has. I just can't get over the fact that it looks like a toy. I think it is mainly the speaker holes. Also, can't play with sticks at the bottom of a vertical handheld.

@baldlyrudy

Ай бұрын

Yeah. I get that. Also, the sticks definitely mess with the balance of the handheld when I'm playing. I experienced the same thing when I was messing with the RG353V.

I got this a couple of weeks ago cause it was dirt cheap. I paid like 35 dollars for it. Its awesome for the price. I love it❤ especially after installing a prebuild by # mash tec which has a fairly recent ArkOS and all the settings for so mamy systems configured and ready for use. I highly recommend. N64 is not perfect but very playable. All other systems were working fine. Thanks for the review.

I've seen the R36S selling brand new for $36... but given how poor the physical controls are, I'd rather spend an extra $15 to get something which doesn't hurt my hands. Hands are worth more than a few bucks.

Funnily enough, not in my comments section. No one talks about the Evercade or the Analogue Pocket, though I do own the latter. Edit: A good chunk of the comments talk about the Steam Deck as well.

@@baldlyrudy oh not, I just mod it, not change. by instruction. It`s just my opinion. Better to buy miyoo mini plus and have smooth gameplay experience, but not this r36s. Tried both and anbernic rg35xx plus & h. r36s just have nice display, but in other aspects it`s sucks. And mate, r36s is too tiny to mod it with screwdriver, it must be good out of the box. any other variants make it fail product. Don`t recommend.

​​​The d-pad is sufficiently serviceable, particularly if you back out the screw slightly. At least for most folks, apparently. And there's no denying that the R36S is much better for 32-/64-bit gaming such as GBA, NDS and PS1 due to the analog stick on the left. And it offers some N64, Dreamcast and PSP with frameskip or other tweaks. So unless you're buying a device exclusively for the nostalgia of playing 8-/16-bit games on a vertical handheld, at the expense of comfort, then it's best to steer clear of the Miyoo Mini Plus.
