R33S Review: The Miyoo Mini Plus Rip-Off
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- The new R33S is a hardware clone of the Miyoo Mini Plus but with an RK3326 chipset, promising better performance but at a (potentially) cheaper price. Let's take an early look at this upcoming handheld to see if it should be worth considering.
Update: thanks to the JELOS team, I was able to discern that my unit has 1GB of RAM. Also, official JELOS support for this device (and the R35S and R36S) is expected in the near future.

#R33S #MiyooMini #emulation #retrohandheld - Hry
Some tips in case you pick one up:
- In ArkOS, if you go into the Options section there is an option that says "Change LED to Red". If you choose that, it will turn off that blue LED. It'll still show up briefly when you start up the device, but once ArkOS takes over the light will go out.
- If you have a USB keyboard, you can connect it via USB-C adapter and press ESC while playing a PSP game with the PPSSPP standalone emulator; this will bring you to the main menu. From there, you can go into Settings > Controls > Control Mapping and set the "Pause" function to L2. Now when you press L2 it will bring up the main menu, so you can make per-game adjustments.
- Also with a USB keyboard, you can press the "M" key while in a Nintendo DS game to bring up the DraStic menu, and choose "Change controls" > Extra controls to change the menu button from L3 to something accessible on the R33S. Because L2 and R2 are already used by DraStic to swap screens, I have been using the Volume Up button to access the menu. It's not very elegant since you now can't turn up the volume while in the game, but now you can access the menu to save/load states and adjust the other configuration options.
- If you don't have a USB keyboard but you do have an R35S, R36S, or Anbernic RG351MP, you can use the same TF1/SD1 card to launch ArkOS on those devices, then press L3 to bring up their respective menus, adjust the controls, and then put the card back in your R33S.
- To try out the latest ArkOS or AmberELEC on this device, flash the latest RG351MP build of either OS and then replace the dtb files with these: github.com/AeolusUX/R36S-DTB
Making that center button a reset button was a terrible design move
It's 100% a deal breaker for me.
Yes
Shouldn't it be able to be remapped
@@leinsaat5779 unfortunately it's not remappable. It physically cuts power to the device and forces a reset (for example, if you turn on the device and hold down the button it will keep the device powered off).
@@RetroGameCorps Wow that's a bummer.
Miyoo suing that company has to be the most funny thing ever. "Their design" lol.
it's as original as vertical handhelds can get tbf
@@buzzlightyer2948 What are you talking about... Miyoo's designs are COMPLETELY derivative from the gameboy. Miyoo can sue all they want, the civil defense against this is simply using the gameboy.
@@JgHaverty This thing is identical to a miyoo mini+. Like, if you put a gameboy, a MM+ and the R33S in the sam picture, are you really going to argue that the R33S just followed the ideas from the gameboy on its own? Heck. Repeat the experiment with just about every Vertical handheld. MM+, RG35XX and a R33S next to each other, two will be a lot more similar than the other.
And in this community we go crazy over things like button placement and screen size/resolution. It's honestly a reach to say that the MM+ is just a copy of the gameboy design when there's a lot of things that are clearly not trivial about adapting this form factor to the 2020s. Because we've seen a lot of designs not do it correctly. Heck, even in this review you can see how they can screw the design completely by just giving another function to the middle button. The Original Gameboy didn't have shoulder buttons or triggers and that's also a thing that's pretty easy to screw up with placements and proportions.
@@JgHaverty There's a difference between derivative and exact copy. The similarities between the miyoo mini and the gameboy are pretty general to any vertical form factor. This is an exact 1:1 copy of the miyo mini plus. Details matter. I don't really care either way, who sues who, but details matter.
@@JgHaverty You are interpreting the situation incorrectly. You need to understand infringements, lawfully, before you give your opinion. Otherwise, it’s like complaining about an equation without knowing math.
That front facing LED is a horrendous idea
They also have it on the R36S, I had to cover it up
We turn it off in our JELOS build.
anyone know the footprint of those LEDs?
Tell that to Nintendo. All of their DS models had visible LEDs from the front and I've always found it annoying.
I mean, I get it, you can't see the power level from the top of the system because you're never looking at it, but that doesn't make it any less annoying and distracting while playing games.
The Switch popping up a notification in the software was always the better solution, imo.
You can switch it to red to make it less annoying.
JELOS will support this device in our next release. And we turn off the LED in the software :)
Do you also do the R36S?
@@DamianoTassone Not currently but I think someone is working on adding support for that device and wants to merge it into JELOS. I don't own one to test on.
What about the XU10? I find it better in every way to the R36S but the firmware (and it's more expensive). The Buttons are all so much better and it's more comfotable, but the firmware is quite terrible.
nice
@@schneeleopard6813 We already added xu10 in the last release. I would wait for the next one though. There have been several bug fixes and improvements queued.
I don't see much point in this. Honestly, the MM+'s strength was always the custom firmware, not the hardware
Also Wifi ended up being the MM+'s secret weapon for longevity, best system for Native Pico-8 this side of the RGB30.
nah its also always been the hardware. i mean the size is basically the selling point. the software can be slapped on even a 35xx

Awesome video as always,Shame it's not available in the UK😢
It's funny, the Miyoo Mini Plus I got off Amazon a while back during that sale you linked came with the exact same hardshell case and accessories [Minus the crummy earbuds]
This was a great video! I enjoyed this review! It looks like a cool handheld but I would choose mm+ anytime because it has onion os!
As always, great review, and I’m still super happy with my Miyoo Mini Plus
Just buy a Miyoo Mini+. It's the best handheld for 8 and 16 bit systems and does good with most PS1 games. I can't believe how much I love this thing. I had to grab a second one to keep in the office.
Wait, isn't the whole benefit of it that it's super-portable and that you can easily take it wherever? Honestly if you're buying a second device for another location, I feel like it'd be an opportunity for one that's a bit bigger but still fairly small, maybe with sticks, like an RGB30 or a Retroid. Granted, those are also a tiny bit more expensive.
Rg35xx plus is better though
@@Don_XII Does the RG35XX Plus have GarlicOS yet and how good is it? Half the reason people gush over the MM+ is OnionOS.
@@belladonna5012 I tried it yesterday and sadly it isn’t near complete. I switched back to stock but updated it. It is still not bad honestly I never tried garlic so idk. I am just saying specs and feature set. The rg35xx+ seems a better mm+. I don’t spend much time on the OS I just get to the games in RetroArch lol.
Is it really that good to have less features for it?
@@Don_XII I don't doubt that the RG35XX Plus is quality hardware, but from what I've seen, firmware quality is a major consideration for a lot of people in this space.
If you want to know more about OnionOS and why people like it more than stock OSes, I'm not the best person to tell you. You should look up the video Adin Walls put out in just the last couple of days where he basically shills how cool OnionOS is and the features it has. The thing I might nitpick about that video is that I've heard that OnionOS _can_ run Pick-8 natively now, but don't quote me on it.
i have a miyoo mini plus and an upgraded onion card theyre making these hand helds and clones quicker than i can buy them crazy time to be alive this is my new hobby.
I've been waiting years for this, dream come true, glad it's from cheap affordable Chinese companies too.
all i will say is all the handhelds ive got dont feel cheap ive got a selection of anbernics and ive got to view a tutorial on setting up the retroid pocker 2 + only have android games on it at present.@@suhtangwong
Whatever size and form factor, I'm just really thankful for these devices.
I got to play my old and relatively newer games in a convenient way.
Russ hit A when you're going up the ramp in Sonic Adventure 2. Every time you play test that game and dont hit the trick I want to scream😂
I'll jump on the ramp in tomorrow's video just for you :)
@@RetroGameCorps oh heck yeah thanks lol! I think you need to hit jump exactly halfway up the ramp for him to do the flip! Thanks for the reply Russ!
legal concerns, from companies that ship with ROMs
It comes with the exact same case my Miyoo Mini Plus came in a few weeks ago.
The best thing about Miyoo is the community
The best thing about any handheld is the community. Modders and software wizards have saved Anbernic's lack of support countless times.
@@skycloud4802 I own both. miyoo got it better
@@skycloud4802 100%. I got hooked on console configuration with a modded OG Xbox and what I loved most then was the focus and determination of the modding community. I actually signed up for a Steam Deck during presales because I knew it would have a strong community - lo and behold the community has produced really quality addons. For something like a retro handheld, the product can live and die based on community inclusion.
@@skycloud4802 100%. To the point at which I’m pretty sick of Anbernic…
Same for all cheap handheld companies. Anbernic specific but also powkiddy and so on
4:39
Those earbuds remind me of the old iPhone/iPod ones. 😂
White colorway is absolutely nuts 🥜
I have the miyoo mini original, miyoo mini plus and the powkiddy rgb30. I love all three but I really like Onion OS and I think my favorite has to be the og Miyoo Mini. It's just so pocketable.
Ouch, Russ pulling no punches with that title.
Got the Ambernic RG35XX for $34. other than the lack of WiFi found on the MM+ its a much better deal than a lot of these clones.
Yup, 35XX for 35$ and the plus for 55$ are the best deals.
R36 at 45€ is also a pretty good deal if searching for good performance and analogs, knowing that there would be compromises on build quality, inferior dpad/buttons and higher hardware failure rates.
I absolutely love my R36S, so I'm really hoping to get one of these. Sure, it's not for everyone. I don't mind adjusting the dpad, and updated firmware fixes tons of issues.
I really hope they make a R36SH also 😁
I get the feeling you haven't tried any other handhelds.
@@JD96893I'd tell you not to trust your feelings then. 😉
@@JD96893I E got several, and the r36s is amazing. Prefer it over mm+ and s deck for retro games.
Like you said, on paper it's got a lot of good going for it, but at the end of the day it's the finishing details that push a buyer in one direction or the other.
Just to confirm, I have one of these from that same store page, albeit a purple one.
Mine has the same awful to press and overly clicky shoulder buttons and start/select, however, mine's d-pad is just about perfect. Did the same tests as you, no problems at all in contra, movement felt very controlled, and booting up Marvel vs Capcom and attempting fireballs and dragon punches, they could both be executed effortlessly from either side.
I actually think it has a really really nice d-pad, so it seems one of us won a lottery, good or bad.
For some additional discoveries, it uses the Select button for most hotkey functions, Select+X most notably brings up a game menu and from there you can often get into other menus. In MAME if you hit that then go down to Core Options in the Quick Menu you can go down a bit and turn on Display MAME menu, then go back and resume content and fix MAME stuff from there, have to go back and disable it the same way though.
I'm so proud of you for being crazy Russ.
Jokes aside, truly awesome content as always!
6:46 Interesting that your Miyoo Mini + has silent triggers and S/S buttons, because those buttons on my Miyoo Mini + sound more like your R33S. Seems like mileage may vary in build quality even amongst handhelds of the same brand and model.
There should be a rubber membrane on the trigger buttons that helps to dampen the sound. However, my Star and Select have a bit of click sound to them, but nothing as bad as what he showed the R33S trigger buttons to be.
I keep seeing people comparing between different versions. Like that the V4 screen isn't as good as the prior ones. It wouldn't be surprising if that was true for other parts as well. Just speculation.
I've noticed a friend of mine has Miiyoo Mini Plus and when I tried it, the buttons kept getting stuck from time to time. One of my Anbernic's has light bleed too. So I think each device might have quality issues of various degrees big and small. The quality control will never be something like a Nintendo or Sony, so I never expect too much from it.
Isn't there a way around to adjust the controls for the standalone N64 cores, I think I read about that. Had to do with rewriting a file somewhere. Could have been mentioned that it's definitely possible to remap the analogue Stick to the D Pad.
Basicly a R36S without the analog keys.
Does it has the same performance?
Hey I bought the powkitty x55 but I just noticed that I ordered the one without the expansions card. So I was wondering if I’m going to have games on it since I didn’t get the 32 gb card?
You say in more than in one video that since is has the RK3326 one can try different firmwares. But how about RGB10MAX2? Only retroz is avaiable right? Any firmware for the "Odroid Go Super" will work on the Max2?
Anyone wanna translate this trainwreck of words?
@@CSHummer I edited.... helped?
I got my Miyoo Mini Plus for $45. Unless this goes $30 or under, I don't see any reason to get this as the MMP goes on sale around the same price as this.
Yep got my mm+ for 48$ so there's not point of getting this one unless it's considerably cheaper
Mm+ is avg $70-80
I bought a MM+ yesterday from AliExpress £40 after tax (slightly less actually)
This reminded me the updates to the RG35XX plus… the power doesn’t matter if you don’t have the hardware and firmware to support it. Seems to be a common theme of my current reviews
They did the same with the SNES on the R35S, and my guess is because on those, there are over 3000+ games iirc, and those will use up a lot of memory of scrapped.
From the second I heard about this device I thought it was strange. The R36S makes sense. More powerful than a Miyoo mini, cheaper, and it has thumbsticks. Those could make me overlook a mediocre OS. The R33S though? Currently it's more expensive than a Miyoo, has an OS with less quality of life features, and the power advantage it has on the Miyoo is mostly wasted because it doesn't have thumbsticks. Even if it had one thumbstick it would be a more interesting proposition. It's just a device that feels like it doesn't really fit a niche.
I don't know why anyone would pick the R33S over the R36S. The pocketability is the only advantage. I imagine if they manage to get it on Aliexpress it might be cheaper than the R36S, but when you are already talking about $40 devices, how much cheaper do people need?
I actually bought an R33S and I felt the same way. Additionally, my experience had a lot of graphical glitching with the higher-demand games. Lastly, I was actually unable to use any kind of simulated touchscreen for the DS emulation. I just thought "how could I think anything could replace the Miyoo Mini Plus" as I stopped using the R33S after only an hour.
TL;DR, I bought one and I had the same hardware problems and worse software problems. It can't replace the Miyoo Mini Plus.
Recently got my girl the r36s cause of your videos. She only plays Mario on ds and snes but holy crap she loves it.
it starts at 55usd in the Philippines.
Need something PSP sized with an HDR screen, access to retroarch and good CRT shaders. Would eat that up
What is the difference between the R35S and R36S other than thumbsticks placement
? i want to get one of these but I feel like the r35 is more comfortable. Are they even worth it?
The R36S is slightly bigger (shell, not screen), that's all.
The same company that produced R35S and R36S
If it's the same design as either, then one of the things I did with the R35S is upgrading the ArkOS installation, and you can copy the ROMs over, however, some of the roms used are bad dumps, and also don't overwrite anything else. Just the consoles you need to, because since it has an older build of ArkOS, it also has an older version of Portmaster and other tools.
Also, the power supply to the USB-C port is pretty low, so some USB-C to USB adapters won't work properly. I had this issue with the R35S where getting the adapter and putting a wifi dongle would make it work for a second and then crash. The only way to get it working was to hook it to the power supply and restart the system over and over until it works at some point.
Also try to get an A2 MicroSD since they are optimized for RAM-like usage. Once you manage to get the wifi working, and ssh into it from your laptop, you can create a swapfile. A swap file is where the OS places anything in the RAM it is not currently using, and a small file of maybe 256MB is more than enough. From general usage, I noticed that it usually uses around 20-30MBs on average, which since you only have 512MBs of RAM, can make a difference.
I also noticed the buttons, not the D-Pad or Rs and Ls, get softer with use.
I think these 'budget' retro handhelds make great gifts -- perhaps particularly coming from someone with a passion for their setup and customization. But from what I'm seeing here, I think I'll pass on the R33S unless it's around $30 on sale. The SF2000 and R36S are still the budget-kings around $20 and $40 respectively [IMHO].
That 42 second boot time, wasn't the prank the Ark OS creator Did when they stole HIS work the first time? ATT isn't Cristian working with them? And that is Just a older IMG?
Are you sharing your thoughts on the Ayaneo Next Lite any time soon?
They haven't sent me one (yet) but sure, I do plan on making a video if I get one. As it stands it's probably better to get a Loki 6600U while it's on sale, it'll be much more performant for around the same price, and I think its ergonomics are better than the original Next design.
That is the worst possible spot for a reset button.
With custom software, you could probably change the hotkey, but it does mean that it doesn't have a reset button at that point and on top of that, the words will always be on the case until you find a way to scrub them off harmlessly.
So, yeah, that's a pretty lame "feature".
@@Lucifronz reset keys are usually hardware level I think. They work before software is booted. I don’t think you can change that with software.
@@Lucifronz nah its not mapped to a gpio, it physically cuts power to the system.
Oh the irony of Miyoo suing Datafrog for copying their device.
It would be cool if it came in a clam shell mode or even a retro sliding mode like PSP GO
Those shoulder buttons are louder than what you hear when you're eating crunchy cereal ಥ‿ಥ
Thank you for the deep dive Russ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
My concern about this was build and input quality, which is a big reason I love my plus, and it looks like I was right to be skeptical of this clone. Mini+ go cheap enough that I don't see the point.
The next milestone I would love to see is RPG Maker XP emulation on handhelds. To play pokemon Reborn and Rejuvenation would be amazing
Even though I have ever only gotten the Miyoo mini plus based on your review and Onion tutorial, I love watching your videos on the latest handhelds. The thought you put into these videos shows and it is great!
I want to buy the Miyoo mini plus. How many hours of gameplay do u get, and can you use Retro Achievments ?
@@cesare4214 About 4-5 hours of battery, and yes, RetroAchievements work.
In my opinion, for these lower end handhelds I’ve been sticking with retroid. Mainly because all there products from the rp2 on up has hdmi out
And Bluetooth
So essentially you have a mini portable home console and handheld
Starting at 80-90$ ending at $200 I think that’s good bang for your buck
Ps4 and Xbox Bluetooth controllers work great with minimal re mapping
I own 3 retroid and love them all. Traded some Pokémon cards for one and bought one waiting on another, my only complaint was the launch of the 3 plus after the 3. But now they are more transparent
Also have uses for them all cheap and fun handhelds and through out the years I’ve always had a fun handheld ❤
They also stream from console pc very well like 50-60 FPS at 60hz 720-1080p pretty good
2s and 3 both have hdmi issues so they aren’t really as good as they seem

I wonder, if the controls could be improved the same way they could be improved on R36S. Open up and slightly loosen the screws holding the board. Im pretty happy with my R36S after this tuning.
The battery on R33S is funny. It is even printed on the back of that device, that it should be 3200mAh 10:55 .
Hey. I'm losing my mind. I have a Retroid Pocket 3+. I want a vertical form handheld. I play N64 sometimes, but not essential. What do I buy? RG35XX, Miyoo Mini + or R36s.
PLEASE HELP
RG353V?
How do people play on these small devices? My hands cramp on a RG35XX+
I had this issue with the MM+ but bought a grip for it. Much, much better but it's just sinking more money into it.
Wish they would make better horizontal players that weren't a lot more expensive usually
That new Powkiddy RGB10Max30 (phew) for $70 rn is a steal and would be a great budget handheld for large handed folks.
@@pailvengence3 35xxh? (dumb name I know)
personally the 35XX form factor is fine for me and I have pretty big hands. these 2 smaller ones seem a bit too small for my taste though (but I've never held one)
12:34 It was sure bothering (beaming at) me, so I just used some electrical tape over the top. Not sure anyone else's ideas, but yeah nagging blue light bad.
Great review
Hopefully someone will make them a uselOS to go with the hardware design
I have the r35 or whatever its called. Its ergonomics kinda suck but it does the job. Everything runs great, no complaints.
Waiting for Anbernic RG556 review
Damn, I'd honestly really love a RK3326 powered Miyoo Mini, such a shame that they botched what should've been a slam-dunk! I think of all things, it's that Reset button that's the killer. Why on earth does it need a reset button, let alone removing one of the most important buttons for it?
Just went to Amazon from your link and it's already unavailable.
Whenever I check things like this it's sold out within minutes of the video being posted
Does it run .jar games?
I really thought with that title and that intro, you were going to intro the R33S as the Miyoo and then when flipping it over to the back, say "Just kidding, this is actually the R33S"
Damn why the RS company doesn't copy the RGB20 original design.
That front led light position is horrid
The MM+ is $80 on Amazon, so that's why r33s is selling for that price too?
The miyoo mini plus is so damn good. Didnt think i wanted one after owning a steam deck but couldn't have been more wrong. I love my mm plus
I can understand why these Chinese companies do not release their source codes for the CFW developers, even though they should. Some of these companies are not even remotely shy about copying other manufacturers ideas
I think it's because good software support would hamper people's need to upgrade so much. It reminds me of when people would get R4 cards that 'break' after a few months, only to find out that they had software 'time bombs' that could be flashed out to make them work again.
By making it a pain in the neck to update or flash new firmware, these companies would get another sale from customers that want to newest thing, hardware & software.
Im not a big fan of vertical form factors. That’s why Im getting the Trimui smart. If they make a 2nd version of that one, I’d buy that one too
Vertical form factor hand-helds are more of a strictly nostalgia thing. Playing something like Gameboy on a horizontal handheld feels wrong, even if it's objectively better in almost every single way. So I have a few devices, one vertical, others horizontal.
If the TrimUI Smart Pro counts as a second version, then I recommend it.
@@Diggy22 thanks for the recommendation. It doesn’t count for me because the Trimui smart pro isn’t a micro handheld. I have an Odin 2 that’s around the same size as the Trimui smart pro so that size is covered
@@skycloud4802 yeah totally. I didn’t have a gameboy or gameboy color. My first handheld was the transparent blue gameboy advance so I don’t get the nostalgic feel when playing gb or gbc. But if I got an advanced style handheld and played gba on it, I’d feel the same way people would who play gb on a vertical. There’s definitely a place for verticals for sure
We've gone from being nostalgic for the original Game Boy to the Miyoo Mini 😂
RK3326, the chip that never dies
😁😝🤪😛🤣😆💀
Can anyone direct me to a fix for silent Hill 1 on the mini plus I get nass Audio cracking! Anyway I'll skip this device
The all white version of this looks amazing but no way im paying 90 for it. Can't find it for less
A miyoo mini that plays up to dreamcast?! Sign me up!
Not bad for a cheap device. I might take a look at it for the right price; I don't have any miyoo consoles :).
I would argue that the RK 3326 doesn't really belong in a handheld without Analog Sticks. The 3326 has the performance to play consoles that require analog sticks and you're going to be tempted to play those games, even though it will be an inherently compromised experience.
I think that this device needs a drop test. if it's more durable it may be a better option for my kids. They play my mini and mini + but it makes me nervous.
Can i save games ? For sure ?
It would be funny to Nintendo sue them both. You don't want to enter in a legal dispute with the Big N.
I made an Amv video using dreamcast sword of the berserk entitled" berserk beyond salvation" and put it on youtube 12 years ago.
does anyone know, what the Keyboard in the background is called? plz! ty.
Hi, it's the Nuphy Air75 v2, I have a link to it in my video description!

thx for the reply. again. very helpful. gave it a thumb-up. cheers@@RetroGameCorps
I dunno, I own several of this devices, but the craftsmanship of Miyoo is above average. It's more scarce and pricey for a (good) reason. Anbernic, on the other hand, is a hit and miss. Given the choice, I rather save for the Miyoo. Due to its form factor, it's more than likely I'll be emulating non-powerful systems, so a CPU with a bit more power it's not gonna cut it.
At $40 it’s my bittboy replacement, finally
How you suppose to play this in class instead of learning with all those loud clicky buttons?
Miyoo: what happened to all our cases we bought from you guys?
Manufacturer: uhh... Idk???...
Seems like the R36S is better in every way. Especially price and 2 joysticks
The only thing this system has going for it is the extra power and if you wanted that, you'd be better off just getting an Anbernic RG35XX Plus at the given price.
Yeah... this thing is pretty pointless.
@@Lucifronzthis system is a R36S without sticks, so more power than the RG35XX+ I believe.
I would buy one of these if it was available anywhere! R36S it is
Russ - you're nostalgic for the Miyoo Mini + form factor? Didn't that come out only a year ago?
I meant to say “familiar” or “comforting”…late-night recording/editing strikes again 😊
Quick question, which console is faster/better this or rg35xx plus?
Definitely this thing, but for the games you would actually want to play on it that makes no difference.
I assume RG35XX plus because of the shortcomings of the RAM on this one
Thanks guys 🫶
@@SpawnTrapped Rumor that it only has 512mb of ram is not true. Definitely has 1gb. But the 35XX cpu is slightly faster. Same GPU though.
The RG35XX Plus, definitely. Although it's irrelevant, because why would you ever choose this expensive piece of trash when it's more expensive than the Miyoo Mini Plus and doesn't even include wifi? The worst of both worlds.
100% would go for the miyo mini plus. It,s been awsome and super stable also the biild quality i find to be realy good. This clone looks made from a cheap sort of plastic.
Is this just a worse R36S?
yes
It's a R36S without sticks. That's pretty much it.
I'm all for emulation, I have been doing it for years. The consoles I have owned in the past, snes, n64, gamecube, gb, gbc, gba, ps1, ps2, dreamcast, etc. I no longer have physical access to all those games. It's nice being able to emulate on the phone or on one of my emulation devices.
But for any company to accuse another company for stealing their design when these are devices intended to play copies of games these handheld companies had no part in developing...
Come on...lol
Nah, emulation doesn't even factor into it. It's just the fact that they're all stealing the system's design and concept, and likely a lot of the hardware from other companies to make their devices, while pretending they're somehow different, that makes it hilarious to me.
Granted, I will say that the fact that they literally include ROMs with your purchase does make your point a little more salient. You can't argue that piracy isn't the point when you literally sell the ROMs of games you don't own with the system.
To paraphrase Prince, they sampled the sample.
What’s games are pre-installed, thanks?
funny how chinese who are cloning american and european brands, now suffer from clones of their own products xD
Oh that is just how markets work, copy what works, we even have a term for companies&organizations also doing what others do: isomorphism.
"Now" suffering? Anbernic's RG35XX was a ripoff of the Miyoo Mini Plus, just with a slightly larger form-factor. The only reason they didn't really complain (or maybe they did, idk and idgaf) is because it was just slightly substantial enough of a difference.
This device is just such a blatant copy of the Miyoo Mini Plus and... that's fine by me. If you're gonna rip off Nintendo's properties, others are going to rip off you and there's jack shit you can say about it.
I say let the Chinese fight each other, we as customers get a better product in the end thanks to this competition. @@Lucifronz
R43 pro next
This product is from Game GaGa - release price will be $42 USD
I never thought I would see another 3326 handheld in 2024, let alone being called an good deal by Ross
The Miyoo Mini Plus Rip-Off should hint at the factor the quality over doesn't measure up
