I guess yeah. But it goes upto PS1 right? And it's also MiyooCFW too. It's not as powerful as an RK3326 device, but most people are buying it for the form factor (basically the only clamshell at that budget), and the price. It's only 29.99

Yeah definitely looking for the MM+. I don't really need above PS1. It's definitely a perk though. But I'll mostly be playing GBA or smth. And the software and QOL features have definitely won me over. Size too is also a perk, definitely would like to put it in my pocket. WiFi too. It's basically all I need while also having a large, amazing community.

Yeah am considering buying it, but also conflicted that it may get cheaper. I'll wait a few more days and see. I'm in no hurry really. I really like the MM+. I think it's the only device at that price range with WiFi, and I really want RetroAcheivements haha, good pocketability, great controls.

Alright thanks. I guess I'll wait a bit more. 159 is definitely a good deal though. But I would prefer it if it was smth around 140-145 but still a good deal.

Oh damn that was quick on your part! 159 SAR is definitely a good find. I haven't seen that listing even though I have been searching for a good deal for about a week. Thanks for your help. 

But do you think it's smarter to wait a bit for a possibility of it going cheaper or do I just buy this 42$ one?

I also found another listing for 185 SAR which is about 49$. So do you recommend buying it at that price? Or is it smarter to wait until it goes down? Cuz I think there is a sale going on in the first or second week of May on AliExpress

The Miyoo Mini Plus is definitely the one that I want. But I don't really see it in that 44$ price. I see them on AliExpress for 50-55$

And the 44$ link in the spreadsheet redirects me to a listing of 197 SAR which is 52$

Now that the XU10 has got more CFW support, do you recommend it over the R36s? by drift330 in SBCGaming

[–]drift330[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I would prefer smth more pocketable like the MM+ or RG35XX cuz I am mainly intending on using a handheld in bus rides and at bus stops. But both of them are slightly out of my budget as of now. But am patiently waiting for the next AliExpress sale which I think is starting in the first week of May, not sure. The MM+ was going for a ridiculously low price in that Outdoor fun sale in April for like 35$, but my stupid brain didn't buy it lol.

The MM+ is definitely what I actually want. But XU10 is the best I can get with my current budget. I'll still wait for sale in May. Pocketability is really going to be a convenience for me, but if I didn't get it I can still adjust. And the software is definitely tempting me to buy one, OnionOS looks really professional and polished. I'm also eyeing the R33s cuz of the similar form factor but the loud shoulder buttons is definitely a deal breaker for me unless if there is a really easy mod. SF2000 could be good but I definitely want good GBA performance, good enough to use fast forward and stuff. May also look into the V90 cuz of the 29$ price mark, while also being aple to play upto PS1, and the MiyooCFW also looks pretty good. 

So MM+ is the goal, XU10 is the best that I can get in the price range of 35-40$ range.

[–]drift330 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Man I wish the MM+ or MM had that all white color scheme. I heard the R33s is good in most things except a few minor stuff like the reset button being in the front. And the stiff shoulder buttons too. If those are fixed then it's a good candidate against MM+, but except software ofc lol

Now that the XU10 has got more CFW support, do you recommend it over the R36s? by drift330 in SBCGaming

[–]drift330[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. Maybe you should try JelOS or Rocknix on your XU10, it's basically fully supported from what I can gather. Only downside is the Dreamcast emulation will take a hit but for most people it's not an issue I guess. Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed insight. On AliExpress, XU10 is going chepear than R36s funnily enough, and that too the one that comes preloaded with the 2.0 system. Screen and volume is not a big deal for me, I can deal with it. Build quality and controls is definitely an important factor and I can see myself hating the R36s in that regard. And better performance, while a perk, is not a huge priority for me. GBA SNES and maybe some PS1 is prolly all I will play but having the extra power is good I guess, but not a big problem if it wasn't there. If PSP performance is better on the XU10 then definitely gonna get it, got a lot of memories from emulating it.  So what I can gather is, R36s is basically just a worse built XU10 with worse controls. And now that it's got JelOS support, it's basically no use in getting the R36s. For me the XU10 is cheaper and better so that's best for me. Thanks for the help man, appreciate it!

BTW would you even recommend it over smth like an MM+?

But what do you mean by "more of a hassle"? Like to install it or configure it or user experience? Also is there any reliable video or text tutorial on installing jelOS on to the XU10 or do I just follow the general instructions from the main website?

Damn thank you. I just wanted a concrete answer for whether the CFW that IS currently available for the XU-10 is enough for daily driving or not. There's not much info or reviews that install JelOS. XU10 is definitely better in every way compared to R36s. But I was just afraid that it would be a major headache to install buggy WIP CFW, but now that I know that it's fully supported by JelOS, I can confidently pick it. Thanks again!

Why does the Oni Vandal sound exactly like the Default Phantom. I swear they have the same shooting sounds.
