This was so fun.
Hi Russ :-)
Fun was had ✔️
@@TechDweeb Fun is never over rated!
The purse was pretty cute
@@MattyStarfish NOT A PURSE DANG YOU!!!
Man, how you managed to condense all these tips into 15 minutes is amazing. Great work
I was looking for your name on his "Awesome CZcamsr" infographic. Keep up the good work, you're providing value to all of us, too.
@robhulson Aww thanks ❤️💙❤️💙
Wish I had room to squeeze in ALL the tubers I love. It's like picking your favourite child 🥺
@@TechDweeb And here I am thinking I might start making videos... just gotta find what my own unique take might be.
@@TechDweebI don't know, man. I think my parents would have no issue at all picking my sister over me as favorite child 😂 ... 😭
13:45 • hey nice purse
BANNED
hell yeah dweebie, I have nice techpurses also)@@TechDweeb
You are doing the comedy bits so well that I'm hoping you ain't suffering from the depression like most of the comedians are.
Nah I'm doin good, thanks for checking in though! There is darkness (there has to be for good comedy) but I'm doing really well in the big picture.
I really loved the one that goes "keep playing on your device, stick to it". This industry is getting bloated af with copycat devices and following the trend of the new toy can and will hinder how much you enjoy your games
I agree, i have restarted the same game after getting a new handheld 3 times already 😂. Especially since I don't know how to transfer ps1 save files
a shiver is sent down my spine whenever you chuck the handheld
Shiver me timbers
"Have fun playing games" Is the one I was waiting for the whole time haha. Appreciate the tips!
This was one of the best. I learned something today. 1. I probably watch a ton of retro youtubers. 7. There are a ton of older systems that are still good. 9. M17/M18/Family Pocket FC3000v2. 16. I need that. 22. Need to learn more. 50. Slow motion😮; 100. Taste and sniff ok
I ordered 2 MM+s from LITNXT after watching your ultimate video and all I have to say is THANK YOU! I got them for my bf and I’s 1 year anniversary, since we’re huge pokemon nerds. I cannot thank you enough for all the helpful tips and especially recommending LITNXT. I was getting scared about having to update the OS and get romhacks myself, even though I’m tech savvy. Truly the best gifts ever! Also good tip about getting a hard drive case for it, didn’t even think of that. Just looked now and ordered some nice ones! 🖤
Nice! Glad to hear it! Which Pokemon game are you gonna start with? I've wanted to get into the rom hacks for a while now, just need to settle on which one I'm gonna choose. Big decision! :P
Never thought about adding a grip. Thanks dude!
Awesome as always. And also thank you SO much for the shout out on the color palette vid ❤️❤️
My pleasure! Thanks for making it! I'm definitely gonna make the perfect TD scheme ASAP
@@TechDweeb You'll have to show me when you do! =D
I'm excited for the rg cube also.
Right on about Bulk Rename Utility, been using this one for years! Great tip for using it to rename the roms!
There's also a software called ReNamer that is a lot simpler. I also sometimes use the "advanced renamer" feature of Everything Search, although that one software does a lot more and is mainly focused on finding files on the PC.
Top level content and showing respect to other creators for their work is always an admirable thing man 👍🏽
I love how many different ways there are to say "stop fussing about, and enjoy some games".
Cannot think of a CZcamsr that respects our time more than you TD... Thank you for being sincere and thoughtful of us (members and subscribers alike). Keep up the brilliant work and make sure you take good care of yourself. Take time off to recharge your batteries (I know many 30+ people who have or are to this day suffering from burnout. The best people I know and admire actually suffer from that).
Aaaaaand....
Since it was you that made the joke about Canadian accent "aboot" instead of "about"...
I must say I have always wanted to ask you for your personal take on why South Park (especially in their movie released in 1999) poke fun on Canadian culture (and accent). South Park was such a big part of my childhood life where I cannot think of ANYTHING that influenced me more than South Park as an underage goofy kid.
Stay Awesome ALWAYS 😊
PS Send my love to Hermione
Edit number 2:
I meant I know people in their thirties (30+ in age not as in number of people that is).
Thank you for saying so! I honestly try hard to respect the time of my viewers (ironically it takes a lot of time to edit videos down and make them shorter), and you're the first person to mention that!
I was nuts about South Park for a long while, back in the 2000s. I haven't watched their stuff in ages though. Not because I don't like it, but just because I struggle to watch anything these days (I can't watch stuff while I work or game because I have attention issues). But the first 10 or so seasons of SP live rent free in my head!
Literally took my 35XX+ to work in a sock today because I didn’t have a case for it yet. Works great 🧦
I think ETA Prime and The Phawx are secretly the same person.
*N O*
😂
that's me with techdweeb and retrogamecorps
The Phawx is an enthusiast for retro games while ETA talks like a Logitech salesman. They have similar hands, I'll give you that. But, one of them loves his hobby, and the other one is a salesman finding customers for every piece of junk that comes out. Yes, all of these pages fluff the current hype. They have to if they want to keep getting free stuff in the mail.
Hand doppelgangers
Great video as usual, TD. Thanks for the tips! I need to pick one of my handhelds and focus on it, it's so easy to get overwhelmed.
I would like to add a tip: there is a lot of hacks and improvement versions of existing games that can make a replaying then an amazing experience. Things like super mario world widescreen, the render96 of super mario 64 port, better wind waker, stuff like that
As long as I have been watching this channel, you have been always (well...mostly....ok, sometimes...fine, always) put out very fun and useful content. I loved how you referenced multiple other 'tuber's' channels and took a few cracks at your own content at the same time. Thanks for everything you do, Mr. Dweeb!
I don’t know if anyone else does this but I use cloth pouches for my smaller handhelds when I throw them in my pocket or bag so they don’t get scratched up by other items. It’s also less bulky than a case.
The Bulk Rename Utility was a godsend. Huge respect for that and every other tip. Fantastic video, TD!!
What an amazing video! 😯You gave great tips and thank you so much for all the effort you put into this.😆🤗
Great tip about the bulk rename! 👌
Good morning TD, fun as always. This was a fun Question of the Day 😀
That was a great video. So much fun information in such short time. Thx!
This video was great thank you your channel is becoming one of my fave for my gaming needs 👍🏽👾🕹️
I appreciate hearing that!
Very useful thank you 🙏🏻 and also nice from you to promote other retro gamers, very nice community 👍🏻
Love that your socks match your shirt 😂. Another banger video. Thanks TD.
9:40 reading books on teh miyo mini has genuinely been my best experience with any digital reading
Thank you very much for this very complete video. As always, we feel a real passion for retro games. It's good to see. Kisses to you TechDweeb 😘
Wow, the Death Date cycle e-books on your handheld! I just finished rereading those books a month ago. I loved Weis and Hickman books when I was a kid. The Darksword trilogy is my next read.
Another Great Video, TechDweeb! Keep it up! Can't wait to see the next!
Great tips, thanks!
🕹️LOVE your vids! 🥳 You are the most fun creator on yt!!. Greetzzzz from Belgium👋🏻👾
Great vid, Dweeb! It's packed with a plethora (Would you say I have a...plethora?) of great tips! Even some for people gaming oot and aboot!
This was such a fun wholesome video that reminded me of why I got into handheld emulation in the first place and why I love this community so much. It’s about fun, and about playing games.
Im definitely in the super amazingly advanced tech dweeb category so thanks for the tips!
Tech Dweeb you are the man. Carry on good sir.
Found your channel about a week ago and was deciding between a miyoo mini or rg35XX H. I got the rg35XX H thanks to you and its great
Awesome video, thank you.
What a sense of humor. Keep it up Techdweeb!
Great video!!!😀
Loved it!!!! And I can think of a tip that I don't think was mentioned. If you have more handhelds than you can think of, leave them in places that they might have that "daily 5 mins" use like say night table, washroom, car glove box and to make it fun, stick to just the time that you encounter them in a day or so, like a friend that you visit but never overstays your welcome!
Duuuude, that is such a solid tip!
Both useful and entertaining!
Check out your local secondhand store - they often have vintage bags and containers that are perfect for storing your handhelds. Also, if you have a bunch of micro SD cards, spend a few bucks for a proper storage container to hold and organize them. Don't just shove them unlabelled into a box willy nilly!
...... Nope nope nope nope never deleting ROMs collecting all the roms I want every ROM ever made I'm a little over 12,000 right now and I want them all on every device I have
I'm the exact same way
I have 14.000 😂😂
I thought i had some kind of disease but after all it seems I'm not alone 🤪🤪🤪
Gotta have them all!
Literally the worst game lists.
I even get the hack roms
Great vid! Lots to digest... yum yum lol
This is an epic video! Saving for later. 😎
You Rock Techdweeb!
This man is single handedly putting ya'll on game
Useful and entertaining.. what else could you ask for?
Free root beer!
Thank you. I'll need to watch this a couple of times to get all the good information... don't watch at work. LOL. Also, on my latest Miyoo Mini, I got the TechDweeb mod. Thanks again. Always look forward to your vids.
Pretty cool. The settings it self still can get me confused sometime still learning the system from time till time
You are a top 5 CZcamsr sir. Wonderful video.
Some sound advice in this video!
Wow #47 sounds fun and im gonna try it. Graat tips, geek, especially about sticking with games and not upgrading too much.
I came up with that when working on the video and it worked so good I'm legit gonna do this!
Great video!
I'd also consider this a tip:
Buying a "niche handheld" (such as the RGB30) could be a great way to experience some game consoles you haven't tried before.
I've been having a blast with Pico 8 and Neo Geo Pocket Color.
Definitely!
I enjoy having multiple of the same devices. This is useful for if one breaks or putting custom firmware on one and not the other. I also don't have to keep changing the same one or swapping SD cards.
This is a spectacularly cool video
I like to think of it as 100 mini videos scotch-taped together.
This is why we call you the Tech King
Одно из самых полезных видео. Я пересматривал, ставил на паузу, проверял. Дальше продолжал смотреть. Полезные советы
Love the purse!
BANNED
This was a great video
I just bought the r36s and i am only going to use it for ps1 games I hope it’s good enough for that Great video once again keep it up 🤘😎
Great choice!
Deathgate!!! 😆 I have the audiobooks on cassette somewhere lol
Great Tips
I have another tip: turn your sound on. It may not seem like a big deal, but it really does help to make your games much more fun. If your handheld has a crappy mono speaker, use headphones.
I’ll check out that renaming labelling software, thing. But yeah, I can see several uses for such a thing.
6am upload OMG why am I still up
because it's Saturday . . . that's why lol
All tricks were great but the LITNXT was probably the best one for me, I always buy my handhelds from amazon since they have free shipping to my country (Colombia) but I tend to overpay for them and also have to wait extra for them to be available. Free shipping from LITNXT is godsent to me, my next purchase will definitely be from them (Still choosing between 28xx and a30 as I just want to have an ultra portable for GBA) thanks for the video!
Should I like this video? Heck yeah sure I will!
Dweeb thank you so much for making me see the light. I'm going through my RGB30 and deleting all the games I don't care about. A curated 20-25 games per system is much more manageable. I bet after a while I'll even narrow those.
This is a great video
Nice BMO carry on bag bro
😅
If you use a frontend In the Retroarch settings under User Interface set Quit on Close Content to CLI so that you can open the quick menu in Retroarch and exit back to the fronted using close content.
Awesome..love ur videos...u and retrocorps should to a video together
14:18 Best Advice in the WHOLE video!
Listen to the Dweeb in the AWESOME SHIRT...
And the Man-Purse!
(I have a Link's Awakening one... They're AWESOME!!!)
He's basically regurgitating what we've ALL been saying...
And putting it into ONE video...
(And doing a DAMN FINE job of it!)
Got a 35xxh and I keep going back to my 353V...it takes too long to exit and load games lol
Awesome video! Where can I get the purple tech dweeb theme on onion OS for my miyoo mini plus? I have the purple miyoo mini plus and want the purple tech dweeb theme to match the device 😁

Keep the quality benchmark somewhere around Atari 2600 E.T. so any accidental classics which pop up on your device feels like mana from heaven.
Regarding #15, it is also fun to make a top 5 per system or per genre, even if you are not pressed for space. I built myself an arcade emulation system (with the whole cabinet and stuff), and I used to mentally make top 5 of games per genre to put in it, since I had limited space at the time. For example, I said "I'm gonna need beat em ups, so I'll go with Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Captain Commando, oh, I can't forget about Undercover Cops!" It was fun to make lists like that. I later bought an extra hard drive and it all went out the window, but it was more than enough the first months.
Yay! My suggestion made it in (the syncthing one)
Solid suggestion!
@@TechDweeb it was a feature that got me into dedicated emulation handhelds. Before I was using my modded 2dsxl but wanted an easy way to transfer my saves from it to my PC and vise versa. Which for some platforms(gba since gba on 3ds is not emulation) it was quite involved.
Hey my tip made it in! Sweet!
Thanks for making content for me so I don't have to 🤓
What os were you using that had the eReader/video player? I used the one on anbernic os to include manuals/shortcut keys etc along with classic cheats to games when i gift a device. Anbernics eReader only does txt so its heaps basic
That's Onion OS on the Miyoo Mini Plus.
Great tips! I already knew a bunch of them but a bunch of them I didn't so Thanks!!
I've had my eye on that Miyoo Mini Plus with Onion OS and your nifty customizations, but I'm mostly looking for Atari games (the original retro games) and I'm not sure the controls would be best for me.
I like the Atari 400/800 & 5200 & 7800 games that don't require a lot of processing power and are over quickly.
I have enough home consoles so I don't need more of that. I'm not interested in cheats or save states.
But I do like Retroarch because I know it will do what I want.
SD card access and Wi-Fi would be great as well.
A track ball and extra keys for Star Raiders would be awesome!
I've tried some Nintendo games and games for later systems and I just don't get it.
The only games I ever played on DOS were Tetris and Microsoft Flight Simulator. And that's only because I was a work.
I just think it would be nice to have my favorite Atari games in my pocket where I could pull them out and play them whenever I want.
I now have Retroarch on my iPhone, but it seems to want external controllers or something so that won't do.
Pretty much any handheld will run the atari library great. The Miyoo Mini w/ Onion comes with complete sets of 2600, 5200, and 7800 pre-configured and ready to go. You can do Atari 800, but it's janky because so many of those games need a full keyboard (similar to DOS games on handhelds, it's doable but not ideal depending on the game)
My favorite game on the Atari 400/800 is Star Raiders and that's the only one that uses the keyboard to any extent.
I'm only concerned that gamepad controls might not be appropriate for games that expect a single-trigger joystick or paddles.
Bulk rename utility? Boy do I need that
Well done, Dweeb.
I’m especially motivated to check out ports for my RG405V! (And Steam Deck, but maybe that’s cheating)
Bringing saves from one to yhe other would be nice, too. I played a lot of Terranigma on Steam Deck, but it’s maybe better for RG405V.
"So I can scroll through my best gaming moments on my deathbed."
DUDE! Why did you have to call me out like that? I feel attacked!
"Facebook, I'm in this video, and I don't like it."
Great secrets!
ooo just what i need :D
12:24 so if you have a device that doesn't have a low enough minimum brightness, and you use darken, guessing that'll work but you may need to turn brightness up (or the camera showing that shot had a very high ND filter or ISO or something... or both)? Been thinking about an Odin 2 for a little while, and this is one of the things, it doesn't get super dim, does this work for 3D games, or just games via retroarch (which I realise some of the systems in RA are 3d)?
Only works for retroarch games, but on the Odin 2 you can download a darkening android app that will do it system wide
@13:13 Was that the INIU Mini Power Bank, 22,5W USB C 20000mAh or the 10000Mah ?
Use your handheld to play indie games made with pico 8, gbstudio games or portmaster games!!
I wanna see a video for phone vs retro handheld
i got my datafrog SF200 Today ive been playing all day
I had to see what book that was on your miyoo mini. Today I learned there is a series called The Death Gate Cycle.
I read the first one and want to read the rest. Maybe I'll do it on my Miyoo Mini!
@@TechDweeb I think I’ll try putting books on all my devices. The Android one will probably be easiest since there’s a kindle app. Good thing I don’t need reading glasses yet because it’s a retroid 2s lol lol
8:30
How do you tether a handheld to your android phone? I have an Ambernic Arc D and a RG556.
Enable "mobile hotspot" on your phone, and then connect to the phone with your handheld via wifi.
@@TechDweeb Of course. It's so simple it alluded me. lol
I'm assuming on my Arc D I need to boot it in Android mode. Thanks!!
I never knew Russ was a zombie! (Retro Game Corpse)
so Fun!
