Roumor has it that it’s an RK3566 powered device, so systems before PSP, DC, and N64 will work fine, but those three will be a mixed bag.
These sticks look super uncomfortable to use though

I always found the SP super uncomfortable to hold compared to the original GBA, it’s made for kid-sized hands.
nix@merv.news 11 months ago
I have big hands and the SP is comfy to use, just need to rest your pinkies under the console
Matriks404@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I hope somebody in 10 years will make a good 3DS-inspired handheld, well maybe except 3D aspect.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 11 months ago
There is a 3ds style dual screen handheld:
Ayaneo Flip DS is one
Or build this for a premium dual screen emulator:

If it works best with older systems, then why the thumb sticks i wonder. Hope they can bump up the power for at least n64 and psp. That would be so nice.
warlaan@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Because they are selling the product the customers think they are getting, not the one that they actually get. I guarantee that a device with thumb sticks and lousy performance will sell better than one without sticks and with better performance.
demodawg@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Hope for better, but expect worse. But that form factor has me hooked.

I picked up a Miyoo Mini Plus earlier this year as an impulse buy, and ended up liking it enough that I regret not buying a higher end model with analog sticks. Still, don't know if it's worth trying to upgrade now - I'm waiting for the day we can get a full SteamOS device in this form factor.
yamanii@lemmy.world 11 months ago
it’s not really needed since the only thing that has an analog stick that it can emulate is a PS1.
nix@merv.news 11 months ago
What games do you play on it?
loie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Absolutely love the miyoo mini plus, very interested in this one.
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Sticks aren’t needed. But what is, is wifi and retroachievement support.
TheEntity@kbin.social 11 months ago
Do retroachievements even make sense on such a portable device? As far as I know, they don't function at all when offline. When I'm in the range of my wifi, I'm more likely to grab something more akin to a Steam Deck, so Miyoo devices would almost always stay offline.

This right here is why I’m SO happy I got the og Miyoo Mini. Perfect size without the extra unneeded bells and whistles
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
For me, yeah. I don’t really go out and about with my handhelds, they’re just so I can play anywhere in the house and in bed at night
AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 11 months ago
If I had a portable retro console system like that, wifi and retroachievement support would be something definitely on my list of things I’d want. Retroachievements are great for many reasons.

This looks super sick. Thanks for posting, gona follow this.

buru5@lemmy.world 11 months ago
looks alright color scheme is a bit gaudy and not a huge fan of the big miyoo logo. they can do better than this, i think. i have the miyoo mini plus and really enjoy it so have high hopes.
ZevesdroX@feddit.nl 11 months ago
Looks nice. Wondering about the price…
jecht360@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I would be interested, depending on the price. Closed shell design means it can be tossed into a bag without worrying about scratching the screen.
kratoz29@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I’d be worried about the unit being scratched ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 11 months ago
A scratched unit still works. A broken screen renders it pretty much useless.
