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?
Nothing, but I've been thinking about picking something like these up, are they what you'd recommend?
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).
Yea complexity isn't an issue for me, just want to maximize what I can play on it and hopefully be as unlimited as possible for around 100.
Definitely go RG35XX line then. In addition to retro games, a ton of freeware and indie PC releases are playable on those through Portmaster.
Then either is honestly a great choice, but the RG35XXSP does have a very slight feature advantage. But it does also have very clicky buttons (think original GPA SP but stiffer), so if you're a button-feel person then that might be a deciding factor.
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.
No worries, I was just trying to fire up my only two brain cells left to figure it out, but they failed me so I was forced to look it up.
