Main summary

Key takeaways

Product Review

Product reviewed

Miyoo Mini Plus — a vertical handheld retro console, including mention of a transparent purple (“90s” style) color variant and an optional base/stand for improved vertical comfort.

Key features mentioned

Vertical handheld design

  • Front face has buttons (no analog sticks).
  • Includes 4 shoulder buttons, enabling broad compatibility for PS1 titles.

Emulation / systems supported (as described)

  • Arcade
  • NES
  • Game Boy
  • Game Boy Advance
  • Nintendo DS (limited):
    • Runs only one screen
    • No touchscreen support for DS games that require it
  • PlayStation 1 (PS1):
    • Works well for “almost 100%” of games, with a few exceptions
    • Some problematic cases are attributed to games that require analog input
  • Mega Drive / Genesis and other pre-N64 systems
  • Nintendo 64:
    • Not supported / not run properly (explicitly: “forget it”)

Community-driven software

  • The reviewer installed a custom OS/system and lists emulators.
  • Shows emulation setup by installing on a new SD card.
  • Mentions the ability to use ROMs/mods/translations/hacks, typically via adapters and storage transfer methods.

Software features / UX

  • Resume-like behavior:
    • Holding a button saves progress and turns the device off.
    • Returning reopens the emulator/game and goes back to where you were.
  • No standby drain (claimed: it doesn’t stay in standby wasting battery).

Audio & connectivity

  • Loud built-in audio (demonstrated).
  • Headphone jack included.
  • Charges using a regular phone charger via USB (recommended approach: USB-from-computer).

Accessories / packaging

  • Comes with a protective case and cable.
  • Reviewer notes the only extra they wanted was a small add-on to improve feel (details not specified).

Optional comfort accessory

  • For vertical-handheld discomfort, people sell 3D-printed bases to improve positioning.
  • Reviewer suggests buying one if needed.

Pros (unique points)

Build quality / durability

  • “Absurd” button construction: precise buttons that don’t “sink.”
  • Claimed to be one of the most durable consoles the reviewer has seen.
  • No wear/battery issues reported.
  • Reviewer says they’ve seen no reports of broken buttons.

Comfort & feel (with caveats)

  • Excellent grip and precision on buttons.
  • Analog sticks not needed for the “classic” games tested.

Performance & emulation quality (with caveats)

  • Shows “perfect emulation” for tested titles (example: Mega Man X and others).
  • Mega Drive / GBA run smoothly in demonstrations.
  • PS1 works well for most games; only titles requiring analog may struggle.

Good usability while traveling

  • Includes a case, convenient for backpacks and travel.
  • Framed as ideal for waiting lines/trips, not a primary home console.

Better than cheaper portables (as claimed)

  • Compared with cheaper portable devices: the Miyoo Mini Plus supports adding any game, including hacks/translations, by transferring files to an SD/microSD setup using adapters/phone methods.

Convenient save/power behavior

  • Saves location on shutdown and restores seamlessly without manually reopening everything.

Cons / limitations (unique points)

Vertical design comfort

  • Less comfortable for games requiring frequent shoulder-button presses compared to horizontal handhelds.

No analog sticks

  • Some PS1 titles requiring analog control may not work properly.
  • Example mentioned: “Alone Escape” (likely a transcription error—intended to reference a title that needs analog).

DS compatibility limitations

  • Runs only one screen.
  • Can’t run DS games that require touchscreen interaction.

Nintendo 64 not supported

  • Explicitly stated: won’t run N64.

Not the cheapest

  • Reviewer acknowledges it costs more than alternatives, but argues it delivers value through durability/performance.

Comparisons made

Against “cheap portable devices”

  • Reviewer claims the Miyoo Mini Plus is better because it allows installing custom content (games, hacks, translations) rather than being limited.

Against expectations in its price range

  • Even if it costs more, the reviewer frames it as “the best” due to durability and reliable emulation for supported systems.

User experience notes from the review

  • Installation/setup:
    • Involves installing a customized system and preparing an SD card.
  • Workflow:
    • Demonstrates fast resume behavior (shutdown/save and return to the exact game position).
  • Audio handling:
    • Audio can be loud; headphones help with privacy.

Ratings / numerical scores

  • No explicit numeric ratings (e.g., out of 10) were provided.

Overall verdict (based on the video)

Recommended if you want a durable, well-built, vertical retro handheld that performs strongly for:

  • PS1, GBA, Mega Drive, NES/Game Boy, and arcade

And you’re okay with:

  • No N64 support
  • DS touchscreen limitations
  • Some comfort drawbacks from the vertical form factor
  • Occasional issues with analog-required games

The reviewer’s final stance: “not the cheapest, but the best/delivers on its promises”, especially for travel use.

Speakers / views

  • Single main speaker (Artur): the reviewer presenting all claims/pros/cons in the review.
