I trust them.

Granted I'm still waiting at least another week for my Mini Plus to arrive, if it sucks then Miyoo is a trash company and you're all morons for believing in them.

There's probably tons of lists, collections, and resources out there, but I just like to boot up Splore and refresh the various lists. The "Featured" one is usually a great place to start. Only issue is you don't get any documentation on the games that way, so some games might not be obvious at first glance.

Hopefully it works out well but I'll almost certainly be buying another one of these things in 6 months.

That's the main reason I haven't bought one yet. Got my Miyoo Mini Plus for gaming on the go, and my ROG Ally for higher-end stuff if I want. The H is tempting but might as well enjoy what I have for now and see if this year brings any other cool stuff at a good price point.

Great video for those on the fence on getting a sub-$100 handheld but not sure which to get.

There's no open source clone of Balartro yet that will run on a retro console

Depends on your console.

For those interested in PICO8, The PICOwesome v1.5 collection got released a couple days ago.

Supposedly you can report the post and put "thread title" in the reason for the report to request a title change.

This, mods are generally happy to do it, you just have to ask them since they generally don't read every single thread.

Cheapest option for pocketability would probably be to just buy a 3DS and PSP and hack them.

Looking forward to five years from now when all the major retro handheld makers release dual-screen handhelds but you can play two games at once with each screen.
