July 2024?

lilac heart
#

Which year? 😄

rotund ember
#

What are Onion devs actually up to these days?

It feels like development kinda slowed down — the last release was in February, I think

ocean sage
#

at least some of them were informally toying with the A30

#

but it's unclear yet whether they want to commit to that

regal warren
#

am i the 8000th comment or is it just me

#

nope, not me

summer garden
#

How long?

rotund ember
#

They delay it further whenever anybody asks

harsh pelican
#

Something tells me if they do actually release it. The henge is gonna be bad 💀

Maybe that's why it keeps being delayed they know it's borked

A30 is great.

I'm still waiting patiently. No stick, so didn't bite on the SP. I'm not going to be a first adopter, would prefer to wait for reviews and a CFW option. Thankfully I have a few other devices to keep me busy.

crisp peak
#

time to sell the 35xx SP asap i guess

subtle mango
#

I'd hold off on selling the SP because the Miyoo might be shit

dawn stream
#

This binary "full faith" or "no faith" business is what results in people dismissing powkiddy to the point of missing the most important release of 2023 Dsmug

#

Even the Miyoo flip could do better, heck, if it does a better job with the battery and doesn't go with clicky buttons it can already earn favor from many of the current SP fans.-

#

It's really hard to predict how it will go, it's a company that's as capable of making the Miyoo Mini as the A30 , so it's to be seen.

subtle mango
#

I feel I'm in hyper caution mode

#

Miyoo had the A30 cooking for like 3 years and it came out raw

wary cape
subtle mango
#

they threw out the A30 like "Here's something so leave us alone for a while"

wary cape
#

yeah it's like in the drawer all along

subtle mango
#

I do pray that Miyoo adapts well to a new chipset with the 3566

bronze forge
#

I have no faith in Miyoo, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think they can still put out a good product if things go right. I just need people to get the device in hand and prove out the results before I get excited.

subtle mango
#

I'm more hoping for that other clamshell that used sliders to come back from canceled

bronze forge
#

Trust but verify has gone wrong enough a large enough number of times that I don’t trust anymore, only verify.

subtle mango

I'm gonna guess they're referring to the RGB30

Odin 2 was 2023 right?

they said the design was getting "too thick"

timber spindle

harsh pelican
#

I don't think it's coming out yall lol

bronze forge
#

It’ll come out, we just have to stop wanting it first

harsh pelican
#

Honestly just wish these companies would stop using joycon sticks

#

I'd rather have 3ds style circle pads at that point

bronze forge
#

I feel the exact opposite tbh. So glad we have real tilt sticks now. Doubly so on a clamshell like this where they can never get caught on anything in storage.

jaunty storm
#

And get joycon drift?

bronze forge
#

Not with hall modules. Wish manufacturers would stop cheaping out on those, no one’s gonna decide these things were one dollar too expensive to buy.

#

Potentiometer wear and tear is a problem on cheap sliders too, they usually just break in some other way before it becomes an issue

jaunty storm
#

I suspect we won't see hall effect sticks on cheap handhelds often for a while

harsh pelican
#

I don't think they WANT each handheld to be perfect and last forever

#

They want people to buy every model they release

#

At least looking at anbernic and miyoo

proven jay
harsh pelican
#

I honestly hate how cheap and almost rubbery the joycon sticks feel like

#

Ignoring the drift stuff

bronze forge
#

I’m definitely not holding them up as some pinnacle of quality we should aspire to or something, but I find them a lot more viable for a wide spread of games than sliders.

#

Tried playing a racing game on my N3DS a couple days ago and I had to completely change my hand position to get leverage in the right axis for moving left and right a lot.

#

And trying to do quick flicks for Smash 3DS genuinely broke my o3DS XL’s stick back in the day.

#

We should have more slider options than the current none, but they’re not my most preferred solution.

proven jay
#

sticks side, I think another good middle ground are the ps vita one, but the vita design wise is pretty difficult to surpass

Retroid uses sliders right

#

I heard GPD's sticks in clamshell cases aren't too shabby either

harsh pelican
#

GPDs are super pricy tho. And I think windows handhelds or even mini laptops are objectively horrible

#

But yeah they've had the clamshell down for ages

#

A handheld either needs android or preferably linux for me to even consider it

Not RG353's dualboot involving an emmc

can't you just put linux on them instead?

Someone just needs to figure out how to source retroid’s sliders

It's gonna be as hot as pan cakes

#

That would be a first for RK3566, but looking at A30, certainly a possibility

#

Given the summer the UK is having, a hand warmer may well not be an awful feature.

rotund ember
#

Imagine the AliExpress copy on this feature

"Lets you feel alive in your hands"

frigid arrow

Not incorrect 💀

fickle patrol
#

the eternal innovators powkiddy did that already

bronze forge
#

Amazing

bronze forge
#

Tbh isn’t that par for the course with handwarmers? Generally they’re way too hot and then you put something between them and your hands to turn the burn into a nice radiating warmth

#

At least that’s what I’ve heard people describe, there are only a couple mountain tops in my state that ever get cold enough to worry about it.

#

All winter means at sea level here is you get to turn off the AC, never used a real handwarmer in my life.

#

True hard mode 🤣

frigid arrow
#

Counter argument. The ergo will suck if you need to use a hand warmer and a handheld. Combining the two will be comfy.

doggylol

chilly thicket
#

Any handheld is a handwarmer if you try to play games that are above its pay grade

subtle mango
#

3326 devices are great as little handwarmers

chilly thicket
#

#1249641323020156989 should have a hand warmer feature, but all it’s doing is switching from gpsp to mGBA

subtle mango
#

I mean...yeah

or pushing PSX to like 2x resolution and what not

why was this channel changed?

oh it wasnt, discord just didnt show it to me

Until they publicly cancel it? Yeah maybe.

We'll always have something to look forward to. Thanks, Miyoo!

# fickle patrol the eternal innovators powkiddy did that already

We need a "handcooler", i mean its really hot these days.

Or powkiddy fridge kek , with handheld holders, that can be taken off, and with multiple charger, and a flashlight, and a clock, and a bluetooth earbuds, with the charger built-in the fridge; of course, these are not inside the fridge.

Or "powkiddy watercooled android game box".

Some funny ideas.

But more importantly, when waterproof handheld?

dusty pecan
#

@willow sandal do you by any chance know anything we do not?

#

anything about the flip or... even the "p60"?

#

im still holding out hope that the we will see the p60 with another soc but the same housing

#

etc

willow sandal
#

@dusty pecan I haven't worked with miyoo for a long time but the p60 was, is, and should be canceled. It's not super worth doing a g99 handheld unless you're really strapped for cash. You'll be outsold by everything else about to drop

dusty pecan
#

i was hoping we would one day see it but with a d1100 or d1200

willow sandal
#

Even the a30 is an old device. I was one of the first to share the photos like three years ago 😂

dusty pecan
#

i wonder whats going wrong with miyoo

#

they had a massive success, why are they floundering now

dusty pecan
#

that would explain a lot

willow sandal
#

Yes before mini plus but after the mini. It was just the miyoo mini horizontal

#

They sent me a bunch of shots without faceplates

#

And then much later they told me about the plus and they dumped me after.

#

But I wasn't the leak

dusty pecan
#

sad thought that the mini might be their "one hit wonder"

willow sandal
#

Funny how people remember it that way

dusty pecan
willow sandal
#

When the mini launched it nearly failed

#

The og stock os was absolute garbage

dusty pecan
#

i know, early on it was constantly in stock, custom firmware really saved the day

willow sandal
#

They sent me the and triforce the sdk which wasn't much

#

Jim grey and onion saved the device

dusty pecan
#

true

willow sandal
#

And really a lot of eggs, e1000 and maybe neon

dusty pecan
#

but the software so often lets down the devices

#

shame really

frigid arrow
#

Weird they just had it hanging around though.

They could have charged double or triple the current price if they released it three years ago.

dusty pecan
#

i honestly dont understand miyoo at all

opaque breach
#

what really are they

#

the pocketgo era was strange, and the powkiddy and trimui connection is weirder

frigid arrow
fickle patrol
#

i guess the bittboy/pocketgo era was more "stable" for them since they had that company handling international distribution and probably putting up some big minimum orders

#

since the mini they've pretty much been doing everything themselves

#

although i guess it wasn't that stable since iirc even the pocketgo v2 and s30 went out of stock pretty quick

willow sandal
#

Miyoo now isn't necessarily bittboy from before but they have a number of same staff

#

I haven't heard from Luana in years.

#

Covid hit a lot of these companies hard

frigid arrow
#

Retroid and Ayn are similar in that regard. Or so they claim doggylol

timber spindle
#

@subtle mango have you admited this is dead yet?

subtle mango
#

It's on life support

#

At this point I'm starting to think miyoo was just giving us info to build hype but then anbernic stole the thunder

shadow star
#

Doubt they gave up on this but the critical backlash of the A30 may have made Miyoo go back to the drawing board with this one

chilly thicket
#

or at least made them realize they have to make sure its in great shape before launch

#

I still have no idea how they expect to make something smaller than the 35xxSP, with sticks and a 3566, without a tiny battery and/or overheating.

timber spindle
#

buy the ayaneo DS

#

and everything is sorted

subtle mango
#

Homie I don't have that kinda money

timber spindle
#

stupid ayaneo and their stupid overpriced prices

subtle mango
#

Not even close

#

I could maybe get $130 for my spares

timber spindle
#

how much is the DS

subtle mango
#

The ayaneo ds? Like $800 for the base model

timber spindle

Not with my disabled ass paychecks

Maybe if they make a budget model but knowing Aya that isn't happening unless they take a huge nosedive in popularity

"we really got away with using a 10 year old chip and a 12 year old linux kernel? Guess we can save money and downgrade from the flip from the 3566 to something cheaper"

subtle mango
#

they're gonna chuck in a 3326 and act like it's all good

chilly thicket
#

Honestly it would be functionally identical to me

#

I’m not playing n64 or dreamcast on this either way

opaque breach
subtle mango
#

nope

#

they've only used whatever is in the MM/+/A30

#

Miyoo is lacking behind Anbernic heavily now due to the H700 being in devices at the same or better price point

rotund ember
#

Okay, at this point when I hear these estimates, I'm not sure Miyoo is aware they actually need to make Flip to release it

#

Like they're not convinced it may just happen out of nowhere

frigid arrow
#

Maybe we've got to the point they expect the community to make the hardware as well as the software.

rotund ember
#

Imagine they're actually angry at the community that it's July already, and the Flip is still not made

frigid arrow
#

True.

Really, it's all our fault for not working hard enough for them.

It's expected to release in December... no wait, February... Sorry, actually it's definitely coming out at the end of March 💯 ......Ok that last date was a bit hopeful on our end but we've triple checked and it's definitely, totally 100% coming out in early June we swear to god................Ok but for real this time it's actually releasing by the end of July.

At this point it's no-one is even making the "they didn't say July this year" joke any more doggylol

what do they know

#

stop bothering customer service about it

empty cedar

It's an endless loop lol

#

It'll come out when it comes out

#

Well, Miyoo's customer support's track record is literally 50/50 at this point

modern delta

50/50 with a pinch of doubt

lofty cedar
#

50/50 in the sense of it either gets released or it doesn't? 🤔

#

Yes

subtle mango
#

yup

#

just a dice roll on them

timber spindle
#

change we're with Miyoo Mini Flip

empty cedar
#

That's why I dodge the dice roll entirely and just accept it'll be out when it's out lol

#

AliEx rep is gonna be as in the dark as we are

subtle mango
#

if not more in the dark because they might be receiving more random info that isn't helpful

frigid arrow
#

I mean, if the A30 really was just sitting around in a warehouse for years, it sort of suggests Miyoo themselves don't really have a grip on when stuff is landing 😉

subtle mango
#

The A30 was on the back burner for so damn long that it rotted

empty cedar
#

Really wish the a30 would've stuck to the MM chip

#

Does the chip in it run those extra consoles well enough to be enough of a trade-off to forgo Onion

subtle mango
#

it has no major performance improvement from what I've looked into

empty cedar
#

So there was little point in the new chip then lol

subtle mango
#

Extremely little and it was completely shot down by anbernic popping in the H700 into the 28XX

Andy is linked to Retroid, Nexadas and Ayn.

#

You can find his email on contact for Nexadas webpage which used to be the shop selling RP1, RP2.

#

Taki said Ayn and Retroid are run seperate but by brothers in law, if that is reality who knows.

#

It’s obvious AYN is just the specialty premium Retroid arm.

#

Same way Miyoo is most probably connected to BittBoy.

dusty pecan
#

is flip even relevant, given 35XXSP exists?

#

or rather, does anyone believe this one is going to be better than 35XX SP

karmic vine
frigid arrow
bronze forge
#

While I think the 35XX SP stiff buttons are still pretty serviceable, if this has lighter click dome switches, I’ll probably prefer it personally almost by default. Until it breaks or disintegrates or Back to the Future fades out of existence in my hands. It is Miyoo at the end of the day.

arctic surge
#

The SP is fatiguing imo due to the buttons stiffness. I can't game too long with it.

#

Hopefully Miyoo will release this month

empty cedar
#

Are the SP buttons that stiff?

#

Anbernic buttons are usually awesome I'm surprised they would drop the ball on that

silk axle

Perfect amount of clickiness and stiffness

chilly thicket
#

they're a tiny bit harder to press than the usual anbernic membrane buttons

#

they're not bad

empty cedar

I've played with some exhausting buttons before so I was wondering

shell wraith
#

I like how they feel

dark oracle
#

yeah I also think they feel fine. the noise they make is a bigger deal to me

bronze forge
#

They’re fine, I just prefer light clicks, and these are about as heavy as clicky gets before it becomes a problem.

chilly thicket
#

way quieter than like mouse buttons or anything

#

might be a problem in bed but otherwise no

#

nobody's gonna complain on an airplane or bus

empty cedar

yeah wife typically heads to bed before I do so quiet buttons are a must

#

Arc's been great for that

dark oracle

no problem in most public places like you said but I'm not playing on this in the library

I'm just curious what the hell Miyoo is doing. The dark horse with two great (if similar) products, and only the A30 since then. Seems like Anbernic has released a device a month this year... is Miyoo really that much smaller/poorly funded? Maybe the OG Mini being out of stock for so long is a sign of more than screen availability?

ember laurel

its not really fair to hold any company to anbernic's crackhead release schedule

Hello, cancelled shakes hands

#

If we don't hear anything by August I'm going to unfollow this channel, and consider it canceled and give up on it ever coming out

rotund ember
#

I have considered it cancelled for months, but sometimes this channel is entertaining

#

Also at 8300 messages this is the biggest channel in rumor mill

#

Second biggest one is for SP at 5559, but real handhelds are kinda boring

#

Also it was teased for what, 7,8 months? Anbernic is so unimaginative

I just want some competition to exist in clamshells

miyoo is the last hope

the 35xxSP is good though

it is good but battery-over-cpu designs have made me uneasy ever since i saw those pictures of an exploded rgb10

The miyoo is using a chip that will probably run hotter in a smaller shell

The SP battery doesn’t get dangerously warm at any point

still i'd like to see the (modern) clamshell market increase from 1

chilly thicket

There is no problem with battery temps on the SP

frigid arrow

Plus, if the RG35xx SP starts having exploding hinges over the next few months....we're back to the V90 being the most powerful good clamshell.

opaque breach
#

didn't v90 have failed hinges also?

#

kinda why i just never got that into hinged game devices

#

really surprising there is no v90 v2 or something. Just a slightly better cpu so that it can play up to PS1, and maybe sligthly better display, and that's it, that would already be a great thing to see imo... To be honest Anbernics SP somehow is not that attractive to me. Was looking fwd to myioo flip...

frigid arrow
#

Aye. Just an rk3326 would be a massive deal to get through GBA and playstation.

rotund ember
#

What's the upside with going with a weaker chip though?

#

I mean, H700 could be slightly weaker than RK3566, but not by a lot

But it does seem to be stronger than RK3326 while having the same GPU

#

Not to mention that compared to V90 it has built-in wireless and what, triple the battery capacity?

frigid arrow
#

It's cheaper.

#

The V90 is half the price of an RG35xx SP.

rotund ember

So there's already a cheap option, nice

I’ve never really understood the point, other than the one person who was buying dozens to give away for Halloween where the few extra bucks meant more kids got one.

Dude, I gave a Datafrog to someone who had young grandkids come over a lot. And I put chess and risk and stuff on it for them, and games for young kids on it as well. Easy wireless controllers, TV out.....she said it was life changing.

Unlimited games for the kids, and fun for her as well.

NES clone is more of a generic term for the cheap Datafrog/powerbank with games style devices on AliExpress here.

I don't literally mean a clone of the NES hardware.

#

Although, a lot of the games they play on it are from the NES. Bubble bobble is a favourite. So I guess that's not an awful plan. Would be a random gift though.

you know, the moment steam deck was announced quite a few peeps, myself included kinda lost interest in ayn's shenanigans and the odin 1

maybe it's not a fair comparison considering it's an entirely different class of device but it was interesting seeing how many peeps jumped ship after that, at least initially

a lot of peeps circled back when it became apparent that odin 1 was actually releasing, but they've made a lot mistakes and broke past a lot of deadlines they set. and it definitely seemed like they didn't learn anything from that with the loki campaign, I think that turned out even worse lol. ayn has done well to fix their reputation and earn back the community's trust with the odin 2

lofty cedar
#

The shipping predictions for the odin 2 ranged from about March to beyond July and then when it wasn't a shitshow by ayn for a change you had all these weirdos coming out and gloating that the people who had used established historical data to mildly mock were wrong. Surely praising ayn for getting it right would have made sense than gloating about something you had nothing to do with

It's probably just how the battery was treated during manufacture or assembly. You'd be surprised how sensitive pouch cells can be to damage

Honestly these handhelds really just should have never existed, if old handhelds were more flexible and actually in production for forever

#

Nobody would even THINK of asking for this form factor or that form factor ever

#

Which goes back to the compute module argument

#

Doesn't hold much water either when you start to realize the current solutions all want giant IO daughterboards

#

And a lot of SoC vendors use completely different modules, so in the end interchangeability is still completely out of the question

What should be the reference layout if we want to accomodate a huge range from the cheapest chips like the SSD202D (Miyoo Mini) to the higher end like the RK3588 and Allwinner A523

From the Linux side of the spectrum right now until we get a proper RK3588 Handheld or maybe when the RK3576 is released. The RK3399Pro (not the RK3399 like the RG552) might be a good option. This will give us Performance on par with the GPD XD+ on the Linux side while giving us Power Efficiency on par with the RK3566. I'm also going to test Sega Saturn games to see how they run on my RG552. Almost if not all Sega Saturn and below Emulation should be playable. Also the Chipset will give very light GameCube and PS2 Emulation on the Linux side.

I don’t have either in fairness, but when I hold the Mini as though it had the buttons up there, I find it more comfortable than trying to squish my fingers into the spot the shoulders really are.

I think it's possibly coming out still. Miyoo has always had a long release process for their stuff. It's quite possible that they'll get the next design revision and nope out because it's too much effort to fix but they also may approve it for mass production. I'm giving it like 65 percent chance to release still. When they get quiet and say nothing is when it's dead for sure.

Whether or not it's worth the wait if it releases is a different story lol

Cigarettes stained stuff?

#

Or maybe it was the cheapest plastic color

Weird my original Playstation did not stain that much

#

I wonder if it's a uv reaction

#

And Gameboys probably saw more direct sunlight than the playstation.

maybe the angle didn't do the picture justice but this one looks thicker than the previous prototypes

I actually like a lot the yellowish grey

It looks like it has very similar software to the A30

Which is not a good thing

Wasn’t ts supposed to release last month

You could repeat that for a few months

I'm ready for the miyoo flip!!!

#

It's the miyoo flip that is not ready for you

#

I would've rather had those sticks be sliders tbh

#

But it's nice to know it isn't completely dead

#

i unno the fact that we are this far in and this is the current state...

dusty pecan
#

watch them put a low end processor in there to make the sticks not only ugly but also useless

So the miyoo flip could maybe run ps2 games?

#

I guess there’s no way to tell yet but i have my hopes up

subtle mango
#

hell no, the 3566 ain't anywhere near powerful enough for PS2

solid arrow
#

😔

#

Maybe one day we’ll get a small ps2 emulator

#

Unless there’s a clamshell device that’s already out there that i don’t know of

subtle mango
#

the best you got is the RP Flip (which is out of production) or the Powkiddy X18S (which is also out of production)

jaunty storm
#

I am still waiting for a flip 2 that is much better then the flip 1

subtle mango
#

same, but I'm ready to buy all clamshells that come out since they are rare

jaunty storm
#

Until the year of the clamshell 😅

subtle mango
#

doubt

#

it'll take a lot for these companies to all get going on Clamshells

#

especially after the build issues the RP Flip had

dusty pecan
#

someone with a prototype asking on reddit, twitter etc if people are excited for it

#

so even this... doesnt mean anything.

#

i would love a miyoo flip, but theres no knowing if it will actually release

dusk glen
#

I’m sure there will be companies that will copy the rg35xxsp’s design given how relatively successful sales have been and the fact that there isn’t a widespread issue with hinges like the rp flip, companies will definitely use the sp’s hinge as a template. So I do expect a lot more clamshells similar to the sp’s design to pop out. Just look at how the miyoo mini plus’ design has spawned so many similar devices (not saying miyoo was first but I feel like they popularized it)

fickle patrol
#

i think miyoo kinda did create the whole modern vertical handheld segment if you go way back to the original bittboy. no one was really doing them before that

#

not even famiclones

#

anyway i think recreating a workable hinged design isn't as simple as just using an existing device as a template, otherwise we would've seen clones based on the v90 already (or hell even the GBA SP)

#

it was said that the D-008 was cancelled because the plastic came out too thick or something. the tolerances must be pretty low

#

i saw the patent for the R3xS company's cancelled clamshell & they'd obviously just "designed" it by copying the miyoo flip patent and changing some things lol. they gave it an SP like hinge and different sticks iirc but all the colours were similar and they even misspelled "stars" the same way

#

..and this is why most companies usually make sure their patents don't get published until the product is actually ready

wicked owl
#

Ugh guess I’ll cancel my order for the anbernic SP

#

its a lie

#

they tease

#

but they never release

subtle mango
#

at this point yeah

jaunty storm
#

would be funny if when the miyoo flip was ready to launch we got news of the retroid flip 2

fallow dawn
#

i wonder when powkiddy plans to launch x18s v4

subtle mango
#

at this point I wouldn't be surprised if they're waiting

#

Psi don't give me hope

fallow dawn
#

from just chatting with and poking over calten's shoulder, the engineer was literally at the point of making some good changes, and then the ceo killed the entire x18 line.

subtle mango
#

if we got a D900 X18S I'd be so happy

timber spindle
#

so just the normal flip, but stronger chip and 2 more face buttons

subtle mango
#

I'd prefer the X18S because I love that 5.5" screen

timber spindle
#

get out

subtle mango
#

No

#

Get real doggo

timber spindle
#

not the screen

subtle mango
#

fair I suppose

#

I really dig it

#

it'd work great as a little streaming device/media player

timber spindle
#

it does have alot of love from the community in retrospect

#

it was hated kinda at the time

#

pk does that, m3p was that too

subtle mango
#

the worst part is that Dpad and honestly I do want to find a way to fix it with readily available parts

dusk glen
fickle patrol
#

yeah i like the V90 but its absolutely not powerful at all, it basically maxes out at SNES and still struggles with some games on that. can do some low end PS1 as well. so if you don't expect too much from it & don't pay too much for it you might be happy with it

#

GBA seemed fine to me but i didn't play many GBA games on it tbh. you might want to look for videos on that

#

i found it really good for MD games because the resolution matches exactly, they look great on it

supple gale
#

where the p60 at

fickle patrol
#

every time someone mentions the p60 it curses the flip to be delayed by another month

supple gale
#

lmao

chilly thicket
#

we have a good alternative to the flip now but we still have no good pocket PSP

dark oracle
#

well at least magicx is doing something about the p60 sized hole in my heart doggylol

#

the touch one may not be what everyone wants but it'll be enough to make me forget about the p60 the way miyoo forgot about it

dark oracle
#

also it had no headphone jack so it was dead to me anyway lol

timber spindle
subtle mango
#

if it's the one I'm thinking of it's the A133P, the same chipset in the TrimUI SmartPro

dark oracle
#

supposed to have A523 instead of A133P

#

it's a step above TSP. gow chains of olympus needed the 30fps cheat in order to run full speed, but should be just fine with the vast majority of psp games that aren't at that level. #1266817458417832110 message

subtle mango
#

My only major fear is that it won't run those higher end games too well due to the CPU nodes being all A55 cores

#

Man i been waiting for this shit forever

#

Was supposed to be my first handheld

#

Just bought the miyoo min plus

Guys the Miyoo P60 has been cancelled long time ago and IT will never happen!

#

I was the one who was pushing Miyoo to release the Miyoo P60, but it was cancelled in the end.

#

Way too many troubles with the Android, the heat and the joysticks!

ocean sage
#

push them harder pls

I thought the dual sticks was stupid until someone mentioned dual stick shooters and that makes sense

Maybe in the future they could use the G99, but since it's Miyoo I doubt it 😛

How are the miyoo flip people doing?

#

Maybe we need to start bothering their customer support about P60, 3D print the thing and make a YouTube preview of the 3D printed P60

#

Scenario A they’ll think we’re over the Flip and release it (that’s how we got the A30, sorta)

#

Scenario B: hooray, we get P60

#

Scenario C: nothing happens

pale gyro
#

wait the P60 has hope again?

rotund ember
#

Of course not

pale gyro
#

Miyoo there are hundreds of people who need a P60. Make it happen.

opaque breach
#

Yeah, make sure it actually gets market ready so that Anbernic will make an equivalent and beat you to market

tacit breach
#

It's not worth announcing anything early in this market. Anbernic would release a week later if I announced a retro gaming bidet, much less a handheld
