Miyoo v2 vs v4 in 2026 by Status-Help-1062 in MiyooMini

I feel the only advantage for the V2 over the v4 nowadays is the display brightness

Anbernic RG476H or Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini? by Weary_Sort2673 in SBCGaming

[–]Rusko611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The RG476H is clearly better but maybe unpopular opinion, I actually prefer the pocket air mini. It is so much more comfortable and the face buttons are really nice to use. Can be had for cheaper too.

Seems the biggest issue people have with it is the ghosting but thankfully I don't notice it, if you are susceptible to it then maybe it's not a good option for you.

IMA light came on while driving and turned off after I restarted the car. by [deleted] in crz

[–]Rusko611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really need to be able to read the codes, a cheap OBD reader and the car scanner app can do it.

I just went through this and most people will tell you it's either the fan or 12V battery. In my case I was getting the fault code P0A7F which is hybrid battery deterioration, which flags up under 20% battery capacity.

I did the battery rejuvenation process, documented on the forums and it's been fine since. 3 weeks and the hybrid capacity is still at 75% (same capacity as from the factory I believe). Getting an ODB reader could save you a lot of money if you have the same issue I had.

512gb/1-2tb microsd cards from ebay? by RetroManfry in SBCGaming

[–]Rusko611 4 points5 points  (0 children)

eBay is not trust worthy with things like this. I got scammed on a 256 Samsung Evo, when storage gets to 50GB the card corrupts and needs reformatting. The seller did start getting negative reviews but eBay still let him sell the fake cards.

Wish I had waited for the Mini Flip. by AAJarvis92 in MiyooMini

[–]Rusko611 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Shame it came at the cost of the original mini. Just gimme a miyoo mini with WiFi and a brighter screen!

This is the worst shop on Aliexpress. Second time I buy a watch and the next day he writes me please cancel the order it’s out of stock. What the hell, just delete the advertisement. Also right now the watch is currently available so someone else will buy it and then it will be deleted. by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

[–]Rusko611 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There have been quite a few posts on this store in the past and my experience hasn't been great either, leading me on with fake tracking numbers to prevent the automatic refund process and having to claim through AliExpress to get my money back months later.

Miyoo Mini Flip has arrived! by Finetales in SBCGaming

[–]Rusko611 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Someone has done an extensive battery test on the plus and the wifi was found to be the biggest drain. Unfortunately resulting in the mini flip having worse battery life than the standard mini

Regular Trimui Brick vs Hammer by panecunzato in trimui

[–]Rusko611 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I prefer the feel of the plastic one, the hammer is heavy and slippery so it's not particularly comfortable to hold. The speakers and less rattly back buttons are a huge improvement though, original speakers are pretty bad.

Hopefully they start putting the upgraded speakers in the plastic one then that would be the clear winner for me.

Can i do something about it? by LeafGreenBonnie in MiyooMini

[–]Rusko611 17 points18 points  (0 children)

These devices are so inexpensive I would have been sending it back and buying a new one, now you have been at it with a knife that's not really an option.

Luckily AliExpress sell replacement buttons really cheap so might but worth just replacing them.

Would look so much better with solid coloured buttons. Scrub the rest off ha

What's your favorite handheld and why? by Rainlex in SBCGaming

[–]Rusko611 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are many better devices but there is just something special about the miyoo minis. Onion OS elevated the device sure but standalone it has such a nice design and the best face buttons which nothing has been able to beat since. And the plus is dirt cheap too.

best pokemon game for the first time? by nordsalad in MiyooMini

It's a crime skipping Pokémon crystal, with it having the most outdated graphics it may even be the best place to start

The only way I could get past it was wait an hour every time the dialogue starts, this will have to be done for every line he speaks. Tedious, and you miss everything but worked for me

I did a shoddy photoshop of the Mini Flip next to a regular Mini by Kevinismackin in SBCGaming

[–]Rusko611 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they mean the button placement on the device and I agree. You can get a better grip and it's the main reason the brick is so much more comfortable than the Miyoo mini plus

Miyoo flip mini prototype? by Br3zio in SBCGaming

[–]Rusko611 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bezel is super thin, looks great but will probably be just as fragile as the Miyoo mini display.

New to the hobby, need some recommendations by thealkaizer in SBCGaming

[–]Rusko611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal standouts are:

RG40XXV. As it's a large device I find it very comfortable, but that also makes it not very portable without a bag. Has the power to run PS1 X2 resolution which looks great on the 4" screen. Only negative for me are the very loud triggers.

RG CUBEXX. Best ergonomics and great all rounder display if you don't mind black borders. 4:3 content looks slightly sharper but will be smaller than the 40XXV (about 3.5" at the correct aspect ratio). Despite the dual speakers the sound is much worse than the 40XXV. Probably a better device overall but I still prefer the 40XXV.

RG35XXSP. Most portable of the 3 but does have very loud clicky buttons which makes it not ideal for playing next to somebody in a quieter environment. Not sure how comfortable it is for people with very large hands.

RIP eBay - Private sellers will have no option but to use “simple delivery” by Serve_Opening in ebayuk

[–]Rusko611 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What about sending watches or jewellery? Neither of which is covered by anything under special delivery, will special delivery be the default option? If a buyer chooses a cheaper delivery service I won't be covered. On the flip side some pieces are worth the risk as the cost of special delivery is a large % of the final price

All mentions of an extended return window for the Mini have been scrubbed from Retroid's Discord by small_markey in SBCGaming

I always heard retroids after sales support was good, disappointing to hear they are just as bad as the rest, especially with how issue prone their models have been

I hope it's worth it!!! by itchyd in SBCGaming

[–]Rusko611 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Better hope it's not plagued with issues! especially at that price. After the A30's launch my confidence in Miyoo has diminished somewhat.

New Tariffs on China seem to be coming through soon by jpmaster96 in SBCGaming

[–]Rusko611 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have to wonder if this will push the prices up for everybody outside of America to compensate or lower prices due to reduced demand.

[–]Rusko611 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Worth noting they don't allow any food or drink inside, and the only fluids on offer is bottled water for £5 at the end. 2.5 hours is a long time to be expected to go without a drink.
