If you need a usb c charger this is a pretty solid deal. https://twitter.com/wario64/status/1524546730003341312?s=21&t=uI0YQpRgr3L_HkQhjumdHQ

I got my KeepRetro Miyoo Mini yesterday and really like it so far! Installed Onion OS. My only complaint is I can't figure out how to hold the thing for games that require L and R buttons-- I have pretty small hands but it is pretty awkward to, say, shift gears in Ridge Racer Type 4. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually though since the screen is so nice and most of my PS1 games seem to be running perfectly at 2x res.

How are the screens on the Miyoo Mini, in-hand? I'd saw conflicting reviews when they first started appearing that the screen was either fantastic or a bit on the hazy side.

Mine is great, probably one of the nicest looking screens I've seen on one of these especially for the price. I think the ones you can buy now have a better screen than the first run of them

Alucard posted:All this talk of the miyoo mini is making me regret buying an RP2+ but I know once it finally arrives I'll be vindicated. Just get both. You know you want to. Honestly though, the Miyoo is cool for a super portable thing to gently caress around with in a waiting room or something, but it chokes hard at anything above PS1 - I don't think I'd want to use it as a primary handheld emulator. The RP2+ is pretty much best in class for power:cost ratio for the time being.

I actually just ordered a RP2+ for retro achievements and games that require heavy use of the shoulder buttons, which are painful for me to use on the MiyooMini. I think they'll make a strong team.

CRAYON posted:I actually just ordered a RP2+ for retro achievements and games that require heavy use of the shoulder buttons, which are painful for me to use on the MiyooMini. I think they'll make a strong team. Hell yeah, same here. I just keep the miyoo in my laptop bag to goof around with whenever there's a few minutes of boredom to kill. The other thing I forgot - the Miyoo doesn't have an internal clock so anything that wants to use real-time functionality is just SOL. I think if you install OnionOS it'll auto-move the system clock forward 4 hours every time you turn it back on to try to make up for that, but it's a pretty jank workaround. I'm getting toward the end of Pokemon Unbound on my RP2+ now and it's been a really fun romhack. remigious posted:I can’t bring myself to order a rp2+ until they come in cute colors! You'll be waiting a while, probably. They keep doubling down on not restocking or rerunning the funtastic shells for it despite popular demand, and gently caress paying 150+ for an RP2 with one on ebay and reshelling it. It's a shame really, I love me some transparent electronics. Vegastar fucked around with this message at 17:31 on May 13, 2022 |

I still have no clue when my Odin pro is going to come lol I sent them an email asking about it since the transparent purple color wasn’t listed at all in their shipping updates. The Odin lite for $199 is a pretty drat good deal though that’s for sure.

Which of the cool handhelds is the fastest to boot up & get into a game? I'm enjoying my RGB10 Max 2 a lot, but I want instant gratification when it comes to retro games haha. Hows the boot up time for a hacked psp/ds/vita?

Well the Vita has pretty much instant sleep/wake but as others have said, it works better as a PS1/PSP/Vita platform than a general purpose emulator box. It struggled with N64 and even some SNES last time I checked. That said, if you're a fan of that library (like I am) and you want that premium hardware experience it's one of the best handheld purchases you can make imo

I recently got one of those zelda game and watches and I’ve realized a fast time to get Into The Game is absolutely necessary for me. How’s an Anbernic 351 for that? Like boot time and such

The 351P which I have you can go from pressing on button to playing game in about 5 seconds if you leave it in standby rather than full shutting it down every time.

Since I've got time to kill here's my boot up from power off for everything I have handy. Hacked 2DSXL with a medium/small amount of games: 9 seconds 351v with latest AmberElec: 19 seconds RGB10 Max with EmuElec: 24 seconds RG552 with JELOS: 11 seconds For the retro handhelds I've got fairly small curated collections, no more than 200 games tops. Out of those I'd only trust using the sleep mode on the 2DS XL.

RP2+ from a full power off was about 43 seconds to the android lock screen, but it also has a pretty reliable sleep mode that's pretty much instantly on/off and seems to be pretty light on power consumption (i.e. I've left it sleeping for multiple days and come back to a 70%ish battery) so I rarely do a cold boot anyway. I do still make a savestate real quick before putting it to sleep just in case though.

It's going to be really interesting to see where the Odin Lite falls into this if the RG552 is that fast.

That appears to be the MIYOO Official Store which seems to be fairly quick and reliable based on my experience and everything I've read.

DHL sucks. I got a shipping confirmation last week saying it should be here by today but nothing else since. Tracking on the website shows the package in a warehouse in China. I just want to know where my RP2+ is.

CFox posted:Since I've got time to kill here's my boot up from power off for everything I have handy. Not sure how there’s so much variability but my JELOS 552 is far slower than that. I videoed it with my phone so I could crop to the time I pressed the power button, and it’s 14 seconds before I reach the 2nd JELOS boot screen (with the progress bar, where I guess it’s parsing the game library) and 24 seconds total until Emulation Station is on-screen (admittedly with a larger library than you). The Miyoo Mini with OnionOS has cartridge mode which boots straight back into your last game/state, so it’s harder to compare to the Anbernics. But I set ES to boot to my last selection, meaning it was just two “A” presses to get into my last game. From power button to in-game with a GBC game:

Got my Miyoo Mini today, updated the firmware, put Onion on it and a bunch of old GB games, handed it to my wife after I booted up Tetris, and now I'm down one Miyoo Mini. Mission failed successfully
