Anyone else into retro handhelds?
Sort:
Recently I’ve gotten into handhelds like the rg35xx. Essentially, they’re Chinese manufacturers who have remade classic form factors like the gameboy but with far superior hardware. The rg35xx with some tinkering can run up to most of the n64 and ds libraries pretty well. Anyone else into them?
The Miyoo Mini Plus looks nice. The 4 hour battery life is really meh though. I would like to see 8 or 12.
I like how this one looks similar to a SNES controller

But that horrid joystick needs to go. It's where the select button should be and they moved the start button too close to the edge, so your always going to press it on accident.
Yeah I almost went with the miyoo mini + for the wifi, but then I discovered that the rg35xx actually had a (weak) gpu, which allowed some crazy people to get n64 and ds playable. Plus it has around 6-8 hours, which is much better.
I have an old snes, and an old DS plus a 3DS
Noice 3ds is a pretty good one, so is snes despite being old
Only problem with 3ds is now you have to buy cartridges to get new games since the demise of the e shop
Or pirate them from a rom site which I don’t love doing
Bumo

Heard about it. Looks good! I have an Odin 2 now as well since making this thread, which can play up to and including Nintendo switch, PS3 and Xbox.
I just found an old game boy advanced in my basement!

Classic. I still boot up Minish Cap and Metroid Fusion from time to time.
