Since we're talking about DS Castlevanias you might wanna know about one of my favorite uses for these handhelds, the dsvania randomizer: https://github.com/LagoLunatic/dsvrandom/releases

It's pretty amazing as far as randomizers go - map rando, equipment scaling based on the critical path so you don't just find amazing drops early and plow through everything, scavenger mode which disables enemy drops so you have to use whatever equipment you find lying around. Any fan of the DS Vanias owes it to themselves to check it out.

It’s been a few weeks since Anbernic put out a new thing so here’s the 35XX aka the Anbernic Miyoo Mini.

Anbernic have finally recreated their old RG300 devices but with the power of their recent devices and a 640x480 screen





It's still no Miyoo Mini, I guess because no one else can source those nice 2.8 inch 640x480 screens

That’s 100% exactly what I wanted a month ago but now that I’ve got my RP3+ set up I can’t imagine jumping back to another handheld. It’s gone above my expectations as far as comfort, interface and quality goes.

I like it so much I’m actually playing video games on it.

If it supports quick resume I would get one.

Miyoo mini out of stock all the time probably because they don't have a lot of 2.8" screen in the warehouse.

This is how I feel about my RP3 (and why I'm tempted to get the RP3+). I'm finally actually playing games on one of these instead of just configuring them.

If a version of OnionOS comes out for the Anbernic Mini I might snag it as a smaller option. My Miyoo Mini is cool and OnionOS is fantastic but it's just way too small to comfortably hold.

He's soooo dreamy...

The new Anbernic looks good, somewhere between a Miyoo Mini and a full-sized deal, but the CFW on the Miyoo Mini does a lot of heavy lifting and I like both OnionOS and MiniUI far more than the various EmuElec variations every Anbernic seems to get.

If I understand it properly, the RP3+ should be usable as a straight up console, right? HDMI and Bluetooth would do it. Could I just plug it into a TV and go to town?

I don't know if anyone has tested it, but keep in mind the range for bluetooth controllers before they get unresponsive and laggy for small devices like this may not be what you expect from regular consoles, it's already kinda bad for the switch.

Noted! I'm usually 10ft or less from my Switch docked and I don't notice any lag, so if it can do that much I'll be happy. It'd be enough to stick it on stand tate style to play shmups with a controller tbh.

One other thing I forgot about is that if you plan to just dock the device near the TV and play using bluetooth controllers and not the device, you may also run into issues with not being able to use any controllers as Player 1 other than the controls built into the device, depending on the OS and emulator

Reviews are coming up for the 35XX and people are dumping on the OS. Apparently it doesn’t let you change settings like aspect ratio and scaling, forcing stuff like GBA to 4:3. Also you can’t alter the chosen stock shaders and even simple stuff like SNES has issues like game music playing too fast.

All this and no wireless connectivity, glad yet again I have a RP3+ because it rules.

Yep, it looks like the Miyoo comparisons are dead on, from only having power for PS1 and below, to the built in OS being pretty crap (as the Miyoo only got really good once custom firmware came out that fixed it)

the lack of wireless in modern handhelds is a surprising choice. But then again people will buy $300 Gameboy cart players so the hole rule is still in effect.

Gotta be honest the only time I turn the wifi on for my 353m is when I need to transfer over some roms/cheats since I'm using JELOS and that's just how they do things.

I've got 4, shamefully enough (not counting my hacked 2DS XL), but for me I tend to stick with one device at a time for a long while. Right now I'm all about the 353m but I could also see myself switching back to the 503 awhile for the bigger screen. If I do that I just drag the roms and saves over.

Of course I'm super-minimalist when it comes to my games so at most I only have 100 games on a device. I tend to stick to what I know I'm actually going to play.

I have 2 (Steam Deck+351P) but I don't feel the need to put the older 2D stuff on the Deck so the 351 gets those, usually GBA games since that's what I bought it for.
