Along the way we’ll compare the different color options and the current state of finding/buying a Miyoo Mini Plus.

15.07.2023My guy, could you do a video on what kind of devices to use if I one is looking specifically for that multiplayer option? I'd really love to find a device I can get two of and enjoy with my wife and daughter. Specifically I'd like it to be able to do not only the NES/SNES 2 player modes but also the GB/GBC/GBA titles like Pokémon. I thought the Miyoo plus would be my solution but it seems I'm not quite there yet 😅
Jorge Ferreira
13.07.2023Great video! I wonder if there's a way to play on multiplayer but with a MM+ and a RG35XX. I know it sounds insane, but if they're able to read each other's sd card, why not?

13.07.2023wow! 4player! 4device synchro!

13.07.2023I missed the boat on the first miyoo mini sadly but I'm happy with the miyoo plus and it shipped fast. Thought i'd never get one of these handhelds haha. I used the affiliate link, Thanks Russ!
Jay Cx
13.07.2023Russ I got a question for you and I hope you have time to answer to clear my doubts, first MM for me, got the MM+ me and a friend play local but sometimes on neo geo it lags and it disconnects or we can both move around but its like 2 different screens
Zach Holtzman
13.07.2023How often does the screen thing happen I’m think of getting these for giftd
Mike Sims
13.07.2023Hey Russ. Do you think onion/miyoo will support a wifi dongle on the original mini? Would love to have net play on those devices

13.07.2023Not all heroes wear capes. Russ is one of them.
j_eezus_christ_bro_chill
13.07.2023wow such advanced technology in 2023…
haelthy
13.07.2023so when you said they will send a new screen, does that mean the customer will be the one to remove and install the new screen? I for one am scared of doing that cause I probably will do more damage than fix it lol
Pedro Ferreira
13.07.2023Such a let down that I can't trade or battle in pokemon games with the multiplayer 😞 would be the best way to relive those magical times

12.07.2023Big support for this vid hope you talk about right to repair and stuff like that when it comes to these products.excited to see how keep retro responds
. I'm a supporter of the aokzoe 1 pro and I'm excited but I definitely have my concerns with the role out. Excited still!
Ray
12.07.2023Thank you so much for your transparency with the Keep Retro topics. Most YouTubers wouldn't have dared to call out someone they have a partnership with. I really like this channel and your knowledge on so many handhelds. Keep up the great work
blaze
12.07.2023Pokémon multiplayer?
Carson McPherson
12.07.2023Can you trade pokemon online?
John Alonzo
12.07.2023Link cable isn’t possible but what about fire reds wireless trade?
Anthony Tuccillo
12.07.2023This is a game changer! A huge selling point imo
Joshua Silverstein
12.07.2023Not being able to support GBA multi-player is the only reason why I won't buy these consoles. Me and my brothers grew up on gameboys, and if I can't play with them, there isn't a point.
Lloyd Milton
12.07.2023Thanks so much for your honesty and keeping some of these companies honest! As you can see, we really appreciate you for all that you do, Russ. This looks awesome! I was a huge fan of the various 4 player arcade titles from the 90's; this makes me wish that I could get my wife more into retro gaming. She has been enjoying the Odin/Steam Deck for the obvious reasons, but she doesn't delve much into retro titles beyond excursions into Tetrisphere or other puzzle style games.
Michael
12.07.2023Available on aliexpress right now…
ANTONIUSBLCK
12.07.2023Wow, thanks for all your effort in challenging third party sellers!! I’ve purchased the miyoo and was unaware of those policies, but it’s reassuring to know that customer service has improved
Farmiluc
09.07.2023The fact that Retroarch can't emulate Link Cable on GBA shouldn't be a problem since we also had wireless transmitters since fire red and leaf green to transmit pokemons
Kevin
09.07.2023Has anyone bought from AliExpress, but 3rd party? I’ve seen a bunch of those.

09.07.2023now im gonna buy 4 of these so me and my friends can play amazing mirror together
Ari Wilson
09.07.2023Did you notice more plastic molding errors in the transparent purple MM+ vs the transparent black? Looking at my purple MM+ there's a lot of weird white scratch looking things on the top and the back of the unit.
Ipanon Ymously
09.07.2023Is anyone else having a problem with the Miyoo Mini Plus scanning a folder for games (i.e. 05 SFC, 01 FC) and then producing an empty result? The reader will display as if its reading the files for hundreds of games and then reaches the end to find nothing.
Jules Schoony
09.07.2023I don’t know if I’m in the minority or majority in this but, I absolutely love the nostalgic look the LED light bleed that the transparent models have. I just ordered the purple transparent model, I’m super excited for it to show up.
Gohan
08.07.2023What is the difference between v2 and V3 for mm+ ? And found mm+ v2 44euros with shipping do you thinks it's a good deal ?
Rudy A. Hernandez
08.07.2023so if same retroarch and core version, and exact content, can we use netplay on different devices (non MM+)?
Rob M
08.07.2023Love the retro gray color!
madmommy
08.07.2023Three things. 1) I truly appreciate your honesty and integrity, not to mention your expertise. We’ve purchased a Miyoo Mini and two Pluses and successfully loaded them because of your channel. 2) We definitely intend to try two player mode. 3) And I apologize if I missed the answer, but will two player mode work on Atari 2600 games, like Combat?
zaraza
08.07.2023I don't think there are any availability issues anymore, there were plenty of MM+ in stock recently. I was able to order mine for about $60 from geekbuying around the time this video was published, It arrived 2 weeks later. My friend was able to order one shortly after for $50 from gshopper, so not only the availability increased but the price is also going down. There is literally no reason to overpay when its widely available in the chinese web stores.

08.07.2023Yeah I had a problem with keepretro when they sent out the unit but was returned when they couldn't find my mailbox. Then they had the audacity to ask me to pay for shipping on a unit that I didn't receive. This was a 2nd mini plus that I ordered and I got the 1st order with no problems whatsoever. It seems like they cut corners as much as they can.
ThaiGrocer
08.07.2023Current beta update has simplified netplay. Will you update your guide soon?
FirechickenExpress
08.07.2023I cant get mine to work with netplay over home wifi. Upnp fails. Can't seem to get a router config to make it happy. The new netplay hotspot way works for a little and then disconnects and crashes.
maglat
08.07.2023Much too much talking about off topic stuff at the beginning.
Omar Aguirre
07.07.2023When you purchase from keep retro does the mini plus come with the Mario games on snes?
Forest link
07.07.2023If only I've knew this earlier I would've bought this than anbernic rg35xx
Henry Chavez
07.07.2023Mind blown on the capabilities of this little thing along with onion. Me and the gf gonna have so much fun playing, super nintendo, metal slug, alien vs predator arcade, king of fighters, mario kart super circuit, turtles in time, etc.

07.07.2023(100% no core found) on every game i have tryed..
Gjergji Poçari
07.07.2023A ps1 netplay feature would be killer. I ordered another one just to try netplay and some Crash Team Racing on this thing would be awesome. Will there be support in the future maybe or it's a hardware limitation?
Fernando Melo
07.07.2023Can Miyoo Mini Plus multiplayer with other devices like pc?
Kevin
07.07.2023Has anyone had any Pokémon Wi-Fi battles? 👀
Davidson Moraes
07.07.2023Só funciona se tiver outro Miyoo mini Plus? Não dá pra fazer isso com outro console com Wi-Fi?
