Rumor 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.

I have big hands and the SP is comfy to use, just need to rest your pinkies under the console

I hope somebody in 10 years will make a good 3DS-inspired handheld, well maybe except 3D aspect.

There is a 3ds style dual screen handheld:

Ayaneo Flip DS

Or build this for a premium dual screen emulator:

Sticks aren't needed. But what is, is wifi and retroachievement support.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years 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.

I have enough carpel tunnel already

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.

Looks nice. Wondering about the price...

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 1 points 2 years ago

it's not really needed since the only thing that has an analog stick that it can emulate is a PS1.
