Russ (RetroGameCorps) is one of my guilty pleasures. I eagerly await his videos.
Does anyone have any problems with me posting links to his videos here? I will also summarize some of his findings, unless, again, anyone has a problem with it.
Any suggestions? This seems ok? You’d prefer this was done in a different method?
I’m just trying to keep this community active. I haven’t yet found a good replacement for SBC Gaming from the Old Place. I’m on this magazine, and several others regarding retro handhelds, but I still don’t get as much info as before the Old Place went bad. I’m not saying to go back there now, as it already feels like a ghost town. There are so many odd posts there now, I don’t even know if it is from bots or what.
If people are ok with this idea, I can definitely post links to videos from some of my favorite retro people, like Russ, but also ETA Prime, The Phawx, maybe a few others.
What do you all think?
Between the two? I prefer the Flip. Overall? That’s more difficult to answer.
I’ve been spending almost all of my time lately on my Miyoo Mini Plus. It is a cute form factor and I’ve had to be outside my home waiting a lot lately, so it is very convenient. Mostly I’m playing it the most just because the current rom I’m playing on it is just amazing.
The G Cloud is a strong contender for favorite. It is the most comfortable to hold, but oddly enough, I cannot play it as long as the MMP. My hands just start hurting faster. But, even when they are hurting, I can hold both the GCloud and the MMP and still think the GCloud is more comfortable…I’m weird.
The Odin might actually be the best I own right now objectively. It is the most powerful. The price was very good (cheaper than the weaker GCloud). The screen is excellent. It is super comfy to hold (though it is a fingerprint and hand-grease magnet). It has no downsides really. It takes a bit too long to charge it to full, if I had to nitpick?
I have other older devices. The RP2+ might be my absolute favorite device, at least from a design standpoint, but I don’t play it as much anymore just because it has gotten a bit weak in comparison to others. And for weak games, I’d probably rather play the MMP. Others like the RG280v and RG351v are very good, no complaints, but they just aren’t my favorite. 405m I had to return because my screen fell off (got it through Amazon, so easy return). Things like the PlayDate and ArcadeGamer are similar but I would not consider them retro handhelds of the same variety. And my poor M1 Air, which has been sitting unused since I got it on a Black Friday sale a year (or two??) ago, has recently been used for emulation too (and it has been pretty amazing for that). But, it wouldn’t really be fair to compare that to a retro handheld.
Okay, thank you for your response! I also love my Miyoo Mini Plus, truly one of my favorite too. I don’t have a Odin, but it’s on my wishlist
