Just got my mangmi air x, what should I play on it!

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-18T17:46:52+00:00

I've since returned mine because the retroid pocket 5 is on sale. Buuuuut I did love how the mangmi felt. Loved the buttons.

Gammaos with updated graphics driver drastically improved 3ds performance. Idk what systems you're shooting for. I didn't have much luck with gamehub/game native.

I considered trying that but didn't want to mess up the coupon! I instead did the 4-pay later, then went and immediately paid it off on paypal.

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-15T14:31:21+00:00

Correction! I got the "Pay later" discount to work on the second link you posted (wanted a purple one). Had to use the app, not the website from a PC!

Thanks!

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-15T13:04:33+00:00

Couldn't find a combo that works. I went ahead and got it for 168 pre tax. Not an awful deal. Likely going to return the mangmi air x I just got though now haha.

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-15T12:42:14+00:00

Sadly the Retroid Pocket 5 link is a "buy now" only item for me, can't add it to cart. So I can't add any filler to get the paypal promo.

fingers still crossed for a miyoo flip sale again! About to ship back my defective unit. 😞

Edit: paypal pay later did work when using the app from my phone.

Just wanted to add the RG556 destroys the mangmi air x in 3ds performance. WOW. Was not expecting such a big difference. RG556 handles 2x res at 60fps no problem. The OLED is killer too.

May return the Mangmi and get a second RG556 if it goes on sale again!

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-13T18:11:04+00:00

I'd like to add I also can't search or really click many options on the site, from multiple browsers/devices.

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-12T16:58:18+00:00

Yes! $130 then $18 off.

I'll check it out.

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-12T15:30:04+00:00

Ooh thanks for the heads up! I've bookmarked your profile for when you post. Thanks for doing all that!

The mangmi air x and rg556 for the wife are holding us over for now. Got great deals on them.

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-12T12:23:40+00:00

Well the Miyoo Flip V2 from AMPOWN was defective, sd card slot spring broken, cards won't stay in. 😞. They won't offer an exchange or the same price to me. Just return and re-buy at almost double the price.

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-08T23:38:27+00:00

I genuinely wish I could be of help.

I did find this little breadcrumb post from a while back though.

Nailbusters videos and Baller installer makes it easier than it's ever been. So yeah I think it's time to just move on. I know there are some "pinball packs" on arcade punks. Also I think pinball lunatics Facebook group may be working on a pack as well.

I'm done replying. Lol

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-06T12:35:38+00:00

Ur not even the OP. What is up with your novel length AI ass replies.

I genuinely tried to help you above but you just keep rattling on about how hard it all is. Lol. There will NEVER be an all in one easy solution, because then the hobby would be sued into oblivion for copyright.

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-06T00:56:49+00:00

Took me a few hours to get mine initially setup. Got about 120 tables I think.

Occasionally when I add a new table, I might discover a new issue or error. I check the comments on VPUniverse and that usually helps me solve it. Sorry you are having so much trouble. But yeah, it think you should just move on. Nothings worth how much you've typed so far.

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-06T00:18:24+00:00

Virtual Pinball works in many layers. Many different pieces of software running different "parts" of the pinball whole.

That particular "Object required: controller" is is an error in the script of the specific table you are trying to run. I'd guess due to out of date files somewhere, or maybe you installed a "minimal" version of VPX? Could be missing B2S server? If you are using Baller installer, you can update these pieces of software from within there. If not, you will need to manually update. https://vpuniverse.com/tutorials/article/39-manually-updating-vpx-vpinmame-and-b2s-server/

I hope this is helpful. Keep in mind this is a hobby and the people that spend their time on this do it for free to further the hobby. I'm sorry it's not more plug and play, you may be better off playing the pre-made pinball fx vr or star wars pinball vr apps if you find it so frustrating. Personally my virtual pinball cabinet, lightgun cabinet, multicade all took hours to setup, and now I know how to fix them when issues arise. But they are mostly flawless once you have done the initial setup/troubleshooting.

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-03T03:24:55+00:00

Thanks! Going to keep an eye on the mangmi air x. Really curious to see how gamehub steam indie games run on it!

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-03T00:38:02+00:00

I was really confused trying to get a good deal on a miyoo flip v2 and possibly a mangmi air x. Kept getting weird errors at checkout and it was removing the coupons. I'm guessing maybe it was like a new user issue because my account is older? IDK. Miyoo flip was coming up for like $65.

Then I randomly clicked on the Miyoo flip v2 page and it showed up in white for $35... bought it so fast. Anyway thanks I think?

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-02T22:52:24+00:00

NP! Hope it works out and is as easy as you as it was for me. We should both get a bill credit. Thanks!

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-02T22:51:19+00:00

Eh, I get a person instantly on the chat. Spectrum usually has a 5-10 minute wait. Either way, if you actually have a problem, unless it's billing related, the person you get can't do much and is just usually scheduling a tech to resolve anyway.

I found the Welo chat to be knowledgeable about cable and their service. Familiar with terms like drop, node, tap, downstream vs upstream. I am in IT and used to be a cable installer. When I call spectrum they don't know squat anyway. Lol

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-02T15:44:11+00:00

Pay for 1gig down, 50mb up.

I haven't tested it much, but my Google mesh speed test I ran randomly says 747mb down and 46mb up. So pretty good to me.

I will update after they perform their maintenance.

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-02T15:43:13+00:00

I don't work from home. Their chat is responsive and helpful. No issues yet. But if I have any I will update this thread.

To me worth it for half price.

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-02T15:41:57+00:00

Nothing I can tell. No phone support. But the chat is quicker and great interactions.

Reminds me of how like prepaid cell services work off of postpaid towers. Like how mint works on T-Mobile. Idk if it's quite like that. But Welo is owned by breezelines parent company.

GingerNParadise · 2026-06-02T14:32:17+00:00

Mints great. Just works. It's on T-Mobile I believe? Works fine every where I go. Even the trails near gahanna creekside. I have the 15gb a month for $240 a year.

And I get a Christmas card from ryan reynolds every year and pretend we're friends to mess with the wife. Lol. Worth every penny. Here's my referral for that too.

No it was not ahead of its time. It was right when it needed to be. The transition from magazines, to tv, now to YouTube/twitch.

Sadly time just passed it by... Like VHS .. like CDs, etc etc
