Taken with my Nikon Coolpix S51 (in pink).
Anbernic RGP35XXSP on the left sporting MuOS. Fits just fine in my original GBA case!
On the right is my Miyoo Mini+ in a 3D printed hard case (from Etsy) running OnionOS.
The Anbernic is quickly becoming my go-to due to the RTC, which makes Pokemon games easier to enjoy. And being able to just flip the lid shut to sleep and power off after ten minutes is very nice. But I still vastly prefer the UI of OnionOS on the MM+.
What’s everyone else carrying these days?

I have an Anbernic RG35XXSP and a Miyoo Mini (non plus)
I can’t decide which one I like more to be honest.
Heads up - if your MM+ is recent enough, it might already have the required RTC hardware/wiring: https://old.reddit.com/r/MiyooMini/comments/1ceibjj/rtc_on_the_miyoo_mini_stepbystep_guide/
I was pleasantly surprised to find mine did, and after following the guide to enable it, it works a treat.
Nice setup! Do.you have any game recommendation? I’m looking for a game that can be played every once in a while for not so long periods of time. Any genre, any console. Tried Pokémon but felt more like a chore to me.
Anything on pico8. You can buy the paid version and use it natively or you can just try it online right now and see if it’s good for you https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php
Pokemon TCG Is my go to right now. For short bursts I also like pizzle games. The Neo Geo Pocket Color version of Magical Drop is really good, plays fast, and fits the small screen.
Have you tried any Portmaster games? Baba is You, Balatro, and especially UFO 50 have been occupying me more than actual retro games on my RG35XX+.
Nothing, but I’ve been thinking about picking something like these up, are they what you’d recommend?
I picked up the small one, the miyoo mini. It’s a pretty great little handheld with particularly good community support. The buttons, D-pad, and screen are excellent, and it can support up to ps1 games.
The only downside I’ve found with it is that my fingers can cramp up slightly if playing fast-paced games that require intense trigger or d-pad use. For short sessions it’s fine, but I wish it was able to fill the hand more for certain games. There is an attachment for it that gives it a more normal controller shape, though I’ve held off on it.
Overall a great little device, especially for the price.
I had to 3d print something that made the MMP+ a bit easier to handle. Afterwards, it feels like a dream :)
Yet another reason for me to finally get into 3D printing!
They’re definitely my two favorites! RG35XXSP (or the non-SP variant) if you don’t mind a bit of complexity and want RTC. Miyoo Mini+ if you want a dead simple UI that’s super clean (OnionOS).
Real time clock, for anyone else wondering what the hell RTC stood for.
Yes, sorry lol. RTC as in real time clock, for stuff like Pokemon games that use time of day in-game.
