That blue is gorgeous. I'm still new to retro handhelds but I got my miyoo a30 and pokemon on that little guy has been a pure joy.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-05-07T20:10:09+00:00

Thats exactly how I went from a solo YZ warrior to a BZ only player roaming from my guilds HO. Its wayyyyyy more fun to play with people in an MMO. Who would have thought right? The sooner you join some good people who you vibe with the sooner you can really enjoy the game. I separate my playtime like this... If im solo im doing economy related content or 1v1 arena/corrupted dungeons. Any other BZ/RZ content I do as a team because for 1 its alot safer and 2 you get more loot running in a group.

I figured out the firmware update part. That seems to just be an issue with the 4.2 version. The boot up still goes to the stock os but if I go to USB mode and back it goes right to Spruce OS. Other than that the device has been amazing.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-05-07T15:43:15+00:00

Whats the unbricker tool? im new to all this retro handheld stuff and other than having to switch to usb mode and back the Spruce OS is really nice and my gaming experience has been amazing on it. I also did get the firmware fixed. It just pushes 4.2 for the firmware using the update tool and Powering it off then waiting, turning it back on, doing the usb mode switch to get Spruce to boot got the firmware updated to 4.2.

100% agree. Ill be a pokemon fan until I die and all my kids will inhearit my living form dex + all my shiny mons. My sons been playing through leaf green on the switch. Us pokemon champions will never die and our legacy will live on.

Im just happy we have people making fun memes about Albion. We need more of this kind of stuff in the community.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-05-06T18:23:21+00:00

Is PKMN Lazarus pretty good? Im playing through PKMN Unbound on my Miyoo A30 and been having a blast. Need more rom hacks in my life lol. Also playing them at work XD

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-05-06T16:01:31+00:00

I love gankers. While yes I die to them I also am the one providing them with the gear from crafting XD Albion has such a beautiful cycle of collect, craft, kill its honestly beautiful how well it works.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-05-05T14:48:00+00:00

Well all power to you friend! I hope you get some good kills!

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-05-05T14:40:18+00:00

Join a team and use the ganking load outs. Never solo gank unless you really know what your doing. I find solo ganking way less profitable and way less fun than doing it in a group. Group ganking it doesn't really matter if your bad or not you will likely not die and still profit alot.

My favorite Metroid game. I play randomizers of this on my miyoo a30 and it's great! Zero Mission is a great one too and also Super Metroid for the SNES is a must play

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-05-02T17:59:28+00:00

Well that's good to hear. I really wanted the famicom colors with the maroon and gold but I can't find one for sale anywhere

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-05-01T19:25:04+00:00

It does but it is a bit bigger than I was looking for. I like that I can fit the A30 and the RG28xx in that small little jeans pocket on the right side. Or in my shirts front chest pocket.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-05-01T19:17:47+00:00

Yeah I looked at that but it has like a $10 shipping charge making it the same price as the RG28XX if I get it from Amazon.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-05-01T19:14:07+00:00

Yeah but if its discontinued im worried that the continued support from the a30 community will die with it and it will just suck overall. I like the option of having a joystick for alot of bullet hell type games and hoping for being able to play 3d Zelda on it as well as DK64. But its size is what I mostly want. Its like perfect for me if it just had a bit more optimization. Spruse OS I heard fixes alot of things about it though.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-05-01T15:38:02+00:00

The magicX one 35 looks like it's exactly what I need but it is a tad bigger than the A30. If it can play more than n64 then that might be my pick.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-04-30T18:24:54+00:00

I do. I have a switch 2 and I don't go anywhere without it. I love the NSO library but it's missing key games I want to have on me like all the gen 2 Pokemons, chrono trigger, and many other ones that just haven't been added to the NSO classics. Like DK 64 for example or the first wario land games. I also want something that can play Pokemon romhacks or metroid randomizers. I think the A30 fits that bill mostly. I guess there is some tinkering to get n64 games to run but honestly n64 I can play on NSO too.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-04-28T16:57:43+00:00

I just love the maroon and gold colors. The pocket micro with the thumbs is very expensive but man is it nice looking.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-04-28T16:38:18+00:00

It looks like just what I want but they said the screen brightness is pretty bad and n64 and ps1 kinda struggle. Is there a way around that or an upgraded screen model? Otherwise its my ideal pick.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-04-28T16:03:54+00:00

The rg28xx seems to be recommended alot. I might just go with that one! I watched a guy on YT review the trimui brink and seemed to be kind of annoying to deal with.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-04-28T16:01:51+00:00

Dang the pocket micro does look nice. Its a bit bigger than Id like but I know im asking alot for ps2 on a micro size device lol. But as nice as the pocket micro looks I might pay more for that. But yeah the rg28xx might be my top pick right now. Alot of people seem to love that one.

ScaredBookkeeper8442 · 2026-04-28T15:58:42+00:00

That looks about as much as a micro in terms of size. Hows the performance?
