Can anyone recommend a slim carry sleeve/case for the Miyoo Mini Plus? Looking for something just to slip it in when in my bag. Doesn't have to be a hard case or proper protective. Just something to stop it from getting knocked about in my bag.

I got the Amazon-branded case for a 2.5" portable hard drive and it fit almost perfectly. It has a little elastic loop to secure the device and a little mesh pouch that fits a charging cable.
I think I'm going to treat myself to Miyoo Mini Plus. Looks like a great little device.
I'm mainly going to be using it from Pokemon games. How easy is it to download games on it? Presumably just a case of downloading ROMs / ROM hacks onto my laptop and transferring them onto a memory card?

Appreciate the response, so something like this?
Edit, just read over some of the customer reviews and some have specifically bought this one for the Miyoo Mini Plus :)

Yeah that's the one. There's probably a million more like that design, given how accessory makers tend to work nowadays.
A wise choice! The MM+ is a superb little device, I love mine. I advise putting Onion OS on it immediately, Russ over on RGC has a superb guide (as always) and after I followed it, was up and running without fuss.
Probably too big for a MM+ but I use a beer cozy for my 35XX. It's a perfect fit.
I love this hardware specific case from PlayToge on Aliexpress. Appreciate the touches like the cutout, gamepad zipper, and Miyoo logo. Not the slimmest case but the most to-spec, and can be had for cheap when they offer coupons.

I use this ☝️ too. Adds a lot of bulk but it's really good.
I've also used this one that I got free with the console. It's smaller, but the extra storage is way worse. I keep a couple of extra SD cards in my case so the lack of zip was annoying as things fall out when you open it.
It has the same Miyoo logo as the good case, so it'd be easy to buy by mistake.
Interested to see how the Miyoo A30 turns out. I have the original Miyoo Mini but the form factor coupled with how small the device is made the novelty of using it run out pretty fast. I think the horizontal form factor might help it a lot.
I've been looking at the gkd pixel for something even smaller and more durable than the miyoo mini. I enjoy finding simpler games that play well 1 handed.
I have an MM+, but I'm still 99% going to get an A30 pending reviews and availability. I think it might hit the sweet spot between pocketability, power and comfort.
Russ says he'll have a review up today.
Welp, bought a MM+ last night, meaning I've now got an Anbernic 351MP, 35XX and then soon, the Miyoo Mini Plus.
Miiiiight sell the other two off? Stupid Delta release getting me back into all these old games...

Has anyone else had this happen to them when selecting Retro Arch (I'm on the RGB30), either standalone or in-game? I mean, wtf is happening?! :D

Was working perfectly fine last time I used it yesterday, utterly bemused.

It could be your stick. Check if there's a controller utility and see if it's slightly angled.
Yeah, I'll open it up and see what's what, such a strange thing from nowhere. Made me chuckle with bemusement, not gonna lie.
I have had this issue before. I found out the OS calibrates the stick in boot time, so If you tilted the stick while turning on It could lead to this behaviour.
Restarting with the device still solved for me.
Ahhh, so if I'm mucking around during boot, that'll happen, huh?
I'm still going to open it up and have a check just to rule it out 100%, but yours seems the most likely cause. Thanks!
I recently bought an RGB30 and it's pretty cool. One thing I did straightaway was update the system based on "advice" from recommended settings on a YT video. Firstly, the update changed the file structure so initially none of the ROMs showed as the platforms are no longer in the root of the folder, but now a ROMs folder. They now work.
However, I don't get Menu Music when I am browsing now. I quite liked this, but it doesn't play now :( It's turned on in the settings so maybe it's a folder structure thing again - anyone know?

Did anyone else have a PSP Go? I wish some company would make a similar one with two analog sticks.
Go was awesome. It kills me a phone like that doesn't exist now.

Retro Game Corps Miyoo A30 review.
Twenty minutes in I ordered an Anbernic RG28XX.
Still watching but right off the bat he says the battery only lasts 2-4 hours.
You just have to look at the a30 to tell that it's a poor follow up on the mini
Disappointing from Miyoo. Too many caveats for me to get one, even if Onion does come one day. Maybe when a revision comes down the road I'll be interested again.
Damn really? I was hoping to get this over the RG28xx. Wanted to keep small systems Miyoo, medium anbernic/vita/n3ds and large to SD/Odin. Will watch this later!
Yes and I still have one! Lovely little handheld. Though I haven't used it in ages.
Never know, that might be the route they go after there's too many clamshell units on the market. 😋
As someone who loves the clamshell concept I hope this happens.
Horrible D-Pad
Horrible Performance (SNES not at full speed)
Only Mono-sound, even over headphones
I'll transcribe Russ's Likes/dislikes from his review:
Like: small size, face buttons, pretty good os, wifi, analog
dislike: dpad, no headphone jack, mono sound, dim screen, needs overclock to perform, which leads to warm device
The screen wasn't great either, kinda dim. And battery life is bad, since you have to overclock to run many games.
I did. it's a cute device but not very ergonomic. All the buttons were super flat. The "stick" was almost in the middle of the device which made using it very uncomfortable. It was a great device for playing dpad only games that didn't require too much input like jrpgs
I know, it seemed like such an easy win. Heartbreaking.
Oh, well. My RG28XX is already in the post.
My v1 had that while using the d-pad ocasionaly. Happened at least once per session. Have no idea if it was software or hardware related, but my v2 does not have it.
This rarely happens for me on main menus for me after exiting a game. I suspect that it has to do with the sticks - they seem prone to dust intrusion. I blow them out like an NES cart from time to time and it seems to have helped.
After having had my RGB30 and MM+ for about a fortnight and a week respectively and spending that time fiddling and rom-wrangling, last night I finally sat down and played some games on them.
Jesus, I love these things. I know the tech has been around for ages, and these are not even my first devices in this category, but it was magical just playing games originally running on machines where even the media was larger than this. I don't know if it's the fact that the screens are finally decent or that the controls and ergonomics are better and they don't feel like cheap disposable crap or what, but it finally feels like this type of gadget is now actually enjoyable to play.
The MM+, in particular, is so well-built it almost feels like it could have been made by a real console manufacturer. Physically, at least. The RGB30, I think, is just slightly behind because of the relatively harder edges of the device, which betray its more, shall we say, modest design pretensions. But that screen…perfection.
Software still has a way to go, but community solutions make all the difference here. The Onion OS and JELOS/Rocknix teams (as well as others for other devices) are doing the Lord's work.

Give me some options :) I was thinking <=125. But if you told me "if you spent a little more you could get this which is much better" I would consider it.
Nope, but everyone is hoping the next device is a Pocket Flip 2.
Retroid usually teases a new device a few weeks before the formal reveal so we won't know until then.
