The moment he says he never plays the Miyoo Mini but it's always in his bag is the foremost reason that you should get a Nano or a Pixel. Because having it in your bag is not as convenient as having it in your pocket. Even if the bag is with you constantly, having to bring it in front of you, rifle through it for the handheld, retrieve the handheld, close up the bag and then place it back in your shoulder is enough time that I would already be a minute into Dragon Quest 3 on the Nano. And when you only have minutes potentially to play, you end up leaving Mega Man in a perpetual frozen state, glad it's there is you ever get a solid half hour of free time but it's never convenient. I've finished A Link to the Past, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Symphony of the Night on the Nano, all with idle minutes that I'd normally just be on my phone instead. He made the argument better than I could. A Nano in the pocket is with 2 Miyoos in the bag.

@gustavovm491 5 ай бұрын

Pretty much any handheld out there can handle GB/GBC without trouble and the ones you mentioned can do GBA as well. so pick whatever you think would be more comfortable. I don't think the og mini is still available without getting scalped, the plus and the xx are almost the same size (for comparison, the size of a standard filled men's wallet) so balance the features and price to pick one.

And for quick little bite size rounds of gaming I feel the RG Nano or the Funkey is way more convenient because it’s literally the size of a tomogachi. But things like the Miyoo or the RG35XX are to small for longer sessions and to big to be super convenient like the Nano or the Funkey.

@@caspay21 I think anything smaller than a switch lite in size is conveniently portable. That means it could fit in my glove box or my pocket pretty easily.

So i have the RG35XX (thanks to your amazing reviews) running on Garlic, and I'm convinced there isn't sleep modes or suspending games exactly. But instead powering up a game from sleep/ suspension is just the handheld instantly loading a save state of the game that auto saved as you suspended it/ entered sleep mode and therefore isn't actually suspending games in the background. That might be why your mega man was still able to play from suspension after so long. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong c:

And, while the firmware is nothing amazing, the MiyooCFW project (the name was less confusing before the Miyoo mini was released) has recently managed to put together a 2.0 beta that's completely open source instead of just mixing and matching binaries, which means it should be easier to support long-term.

The rug nano is a great jrpg/turnbased system in general. Keeping one thing loaded on it is definitely the truth. I mean you can load it down with a bunch of stuff, but I’ve got a surprising amount of hours in dragon warrior monsters on mine and when I get done with that I’ll probably put another jrpg into perpetual sleep mode. 5 or 15 minutes here and there when it’s always in my pocket really ads up. I just wish it booted a bit faster, but 1 handed play in line at the grocery store or wherever is a godsend
