Comments fit neatly into two categories: people who do not own them ("that's ridiculous!" and "novelty that clearly won't work"), and then people who actually own one ("I freakin' love this! I play it more than any other device"). Thanks for making a thoughtful review. I've got one on the way.

@decisionparalysis7856 Год назад

Kind of loving that device, would really only use it for gb/gbc. Both of those systems are greatly underrated though, I think they could have afforded to make it slightly larger though.

@FezzYousuf Месяц назад

I ended up getting this device, on sale I do have a trimui smart and anbernics rg35xx h which I honestly have been loving both they are a ton and I saw a review through one of your videos. I just love retro handhelds in general haha you could say I am sort of collector or enthusiast. I was thinking pixel gkp or this one I actually prefer this plus the $37 dollar on Aliexpress couldn't hesitate myself on that offer. Great videos TechDweeb

@lloydmilton9808 Год назад

I first learned about your channel a few months ago and this has to be one of my favorite videos so far. At one point, I had to pause the video I was laughing so hard. I might see some of these products reviewed on other channels first, but I must say, I am always looking forward to seeing your review for the fun, humorous and honest takes. We may see these products reviewed elsewhere, but where else can we get information about storing the right game system in our prison wallets? A few things from this review: 1. When are we going to get a review of all the tiny TVs, game carts, gameboys and NES devices displayed in this video? Where do I even get cables that small :p 2. I still might get one of these, but it will likely receive a spot on my display wall vs. taking it around with me. The Miyoo Mini is probably as small of a device that my 50 y/o eyes can actually play and still understand what they are seeing. Thanks again for all that you do, TechDweeb!

@TechDweeb Год назад

Haha thanks buddy! That puts a big ol' smile on this ol' dweebs face 🤓 1. Check at your local Lego store 2. Yeah I like it more as a curiosity. I can play GB on it, but I more enjoy it to show to people and just appreciate as an interesting object. Kinda silly but it just makes me happy :)

@frenzis81 Год назад

it's certainly very interesting but I'd have to put it under a microscope to see something! consider that I had problems playing even with the first miyoo mini because the screen was too small and that's why I resold it. Still, a nice object for retrogaming obsessive collectors!!

Can you upgrade the firmware by adding the update to the card by connecting the nano to the computer via usb cord? My pc doesnt recognize the sd card on its own and wants me to format. But i can access the files of the cord via the nano plugged in

@davidlhsl Год назад

It's not for me. I'm happy with the RG280V for the smallest handheld for pocketing on-the-go goodness. One idea that the Nano introduces that does intrigue me is the mp3 player. However, the estimated battery life of only 2.5 hours makes this impractical, which is a shame. Having a small device that doubles as mp3/game device would be cool. Hmmm, wonder if the RG280V with Adam CFW plays mp3?

@rockmanfan5104 Год назад

The 280V is so underrated. Everyone wanted the miyoo mini and I just don't get it. The 280V is the best "mini" handheld forsure out of these little devices that play ps1 and lower

@ralfuria 29 дней назад

I have the classic miyoo mini and the rg280v, the anbernic is much superior in terms of ergonomics for continuous use, it is the perfect machine to play GB/GBC GBA and snes.

@u.p.1038 10 месяцев назад

Make it a 2 button layout without shoulder buttons and a cheaper CPU and this would work perfectly for me as a tiny Gameboy/GBC machine to take everywhere. For everything more graphically advanced the display is just too small. It is too overpowered and therefore too expensive to be useful as the niche device it is.

Dang man, your b-roll keeps getting more and more slick, but I gotta ask... where's your cat? It's been a minute and I'm a little worried about her. I know loosing a kidney can be rough. In any case, I send her my best. I think I have to agree on how you feel about the unit, well as much as someone who hasn't even held the nano can. My hands are pretty big, so I'm not sure how comfortable it'd be to play for more than 10 minutes. I have the miyoo mini and i can't play it for more than half an hour. The smallest I can play for long periods is the RG353V. But it's such a neat little thing. plopping it on my backpack, and when someone asks about it, I'm just like, "wanna play it". Thanks for the video, your skills and continued growth never cease to amaze. Keep it up man!

I think those handhelds are quite expensive for the performance, I think a renewed pixel 7 from Amazon for 200 bucks is a great value for pricing and performance, which handheld for 200 dollars can do Nintendo switch emulation and high end gaming and emulation, anyway everyone has his own opinion 😅

@chase966 Год назад

@Streetsupra88 2 месяца назад

This, or the RG280V? I want a little throw and go device for quick errands around town

@TechDweeb 2 месяца назад

Very different devices. This is smaller, but the controls are very small and difficult to use for anything other than turn-based RPGs or lightweight games (I have an easy time with it, but I know lots of people don't). The 280v is an older device so the screen isn't as good, but it's much bigger than this and the controls are more like full-sized controls. So it just depends what you need, what is your priority. Both are great devices and you'll probably be happy with either.

Only good for Gameboy, Gameboy color, game gear, wonderswan, and neo geo pocket color. Those are the only games with fonts big enough you'll be able to read them. Would be an awesome dedicated GBC if it was cheaper than the miyoo mini. Unfortunately for $80 the miyoo is still going to get my money.
