Nice! For some reason they weren’t showing up on the site last night, so thanks. 15$ shipping for a 2$ part is rough though. If anyone has swapped in switch or other portable sticks for the default would be interested to hear if it works.

If nobody else gets back to you first I’ll crack mine open again and check here in an hour or two. I’ve got a bunch of switch sticks sitting in my desk anyway.

Edit: it’s a resounding maybe but not quite as easy as I would have hoped.



Blue ribbon cable is the Switch stick, one of the many Amazon kits. Brown one is the OEM.

Connectors definitely look the same, but the actual ribbon cable is at the wrong angle. You could probably do some creative macguyver work to get it to work, those screw mounting holes aren’t even used.

Is there a Playdate thread?

I got mine yesterday, the hardware is super cool, but the first two games are pretty dang underwhelming. Really hoping next weeks batch has something that’s more my speed.

Ok, so Playdate week two's games are not much more to my liking. I bounced off 'Crankin's Time Travel Adventure' pretty fast. I just didn't find anything about it fun :-( No idea how you're supposed to get past the pig on level 6. The other game this week is a Fruity Loops clone? But doesn't use the crank?. So far i'm surprised by what games they've decided to ship first. Hoping there's things that are more my speed in the coming weeks...

Yeah I saw that...I'm on level 6, are you supposed to crank so fast you get to the end of the level before the pig? I have no idea how that's physically possible.

Are you loving kidding me? I went back in but saw there was just endless pigs outside and gave up.

Gotta say, these games are cute, and whimsical, but not very fun so far!

And I think my Miyoo Mini is bricked, tried updating the firmware and it's just stuck on the Miyoo logo instead of doing anything like it's supposed to, and from looking around on the internet there doesn't seem to be a way to actually fix it, so I guess I'm just hosed...

Never mind did a little more digging and found a solution I'm an overly dramatic idiot

EDIT: fixed it, though still fiddling with getting Onion setup as the RGC guide is a bit outdated and it took me a bit to figure out that Onion had changed up some of how it handles installing it compared to how the RGC guide shows it

Thanks for mentioning this, I was planning to just jump into the RGC guide so I'm glad someone mentioned not to.

I was restlessly poking around Reddit while I wait for mine to arrive and most posts recommend not upgrading the firmware as long as yours ships with a firmware from this year, as the firmware upgrade process is risky and Onion works fine on anything from 2022.

If you ordered in the last couple months it's the one you have, just has a different battery and screen lamination.

Well, I had to cancel my reservation of the Steam Deck (lol @ global economy burning in a trash fire), but I still like the idea of playing some of my Steam library on the couch/bed/wherever. I noticed the RP2+ has both Moonlight and Steam Link apps. Which one works better and how well does it do for most stuff (like, puzzle and JRPG stuff, not twitch shooters)?

If all your stuff is on Steam I've never had any issues with Steam Link, Moonlight is really only better if you have stuff from other places. Most of the games I play with my PC these days is using Steam Link on my Macbook or Shield either in bed or on the sofa. You might be better off getting a controller for your phone if you just want a Steam Link device though.

The biggest problem you'll run in to is the absolutely dogshit tiny resolution of these screens - like, 640x480. Most text intended for 1080p/4k is gonna look horrible.

I'd second the idea that if you're going steam link you're better off getting a bluetooth controller for your phone.

His guide is still useful in parts you'll just want to also double check the instructions Miyoo provides with their firmware and the instructions Onion has on their site for what's different

Youtube randomly threw this Anbernic video at me. Apparently it's a new product called the win600 and it can run Windows or SteamOS. No mention of potential cost, of course.

I don't suppose anyone who ordered the miyoo mini through that aliexpress deal actually had one arrive, have they?
I mean, I kinda thought it would be too good to be true. I've never had to file a dispute before with them. Am I basically going to get the shaft because they sent a recycled shipping # that says it was delivered to someone in Canada?

I opened a dispute already and the seller did a counter offer on the dispute to refund $40 bucks saying "The cargo has been sent, the freight" so that's clearly a lie haha. I'm hoping AliExpress steps in and refunds the whole thing. I rejected their offer so we'll see what happens.

Ok, so I got an email from Aliexpress right after I left the house for an appointment saying my miyoo mini was delivered. Its not in my mailbox and not on my front porch.
So easy enough to dismiss as fake, except I also bought something off ebay which ALSO says it was delivered and is not there.
