Miyoo Flip

[obsidian vessel]

rk3566 yep

as much as I love GammaOS, i would be getting the miyoo to run portmaster

[silent tusk]

Nothing wrong with that

GammaOS is a niche within a niche

[obsidian vessel]

its amazing for the 405 tho!

those retroid drivers

[hushed field]

Anyone get a review unit yet?

[drowsy kindle]

New trailer dropped

[shadow star]

It’s impressive how they won’t tell us jack about the specifics of the device lol

[opaque breach]

Wait

TWIN CARD SETUP?

Does that mean we can install whole new firmware on it instead of add-ons to factory firmware? (OnionOS is NOT a firmware)

Oh wait, that's already a known fact from way back

[obsidian vessel]

That means it might support Android and Linux

[snow dragon]

What console gen would this chip reach? Or is it going to be the same as the mm+?

[proven adder]

below dreamcast

[somber bone]

thank goodness they at least put the lighter colored sticks on the white model 😅 the pastel buttons vibe-clashed so bad with the black sticks

[obsidian vessel]

N64/DC

[prime bronze]

I like the idea of the sticks, but i'm not sure what the use case is on a chip that will barely run DC/N64?

[frigid arrow]

The RK3566 will run most N64 (not Mario tennis, but most), and a lot of Dreamcast as well.

And a decent amount of PSP/Saturn.

[subtle mango]

if GammaOS lite gets on here and we get access to Muper64FZ, most N64 will be playable with tweaking

[frigid arrow]

I mean, I've seen people running switch emulation on rk3566's that have android

[subtle mango]

shit dude

I saw some decent Gamecube perforance a long while ago on a 353V

[frigid arrow]

Oh, I wouldn't call it decent performance for switch. I mean, it technically ran....

[obsidian vessel]

SNES all the way

[proven adder]

black looks shiny, could be a fingerprint magnet

[fair gate]

What’s the difference between the rk3566 and h700 on the sp? Better or worse?

[rotund ember]

I don't think that has anything to do with having two cards

There are standalone firmwares for the original Miyoo Mini, after all

[rotund ember]

Better, not by a whole lot

But I mean, this should be miles ahead of anything Miyoo had before

[limpid temple]

Yeah, rk3566 is a little bit better than h700. main difference is that certain saturn games are quite good playable (with frameskip) on rk3566 , which is not the case for h700.

[opaque breach]

As in, replacing the whole linux subsystem on the eMMC?

[rotund ember]

No, just a whole Linux system on one card — like Allium

Most CFWs don't actually require two cards, it's more of a convenience

[proven adder]

anbernic used rk3566 a lot in their "3" series so it's a known quantity

after "3" came "XX"

one thing to note, every single rk3566 device I have used comes with a noisy headphone output

[gilded wasp]

I wonder if it might get Rocknix?

I think the US SNES colour is the best out of the 4.

[opaque breach]

背包胖熊 (A likely associated Miyoo dev) says the left slot is for other systems and the Miyoo system will mostly use the right slot

[languid sundial]

hmm I have to say Yellow looks nice now, like Miyoo Mini V4 yellow, not like yellowed white anymore xD

[opaque breach]

So essentially this will get some sort of dual boot solution

[blazing maple]

Hopefully this thing turns out to be at least good

[dusty pecan]

Wow they’re really doing nicotine yellow

[languid sundial]

adding to the already mentioned n64 and DC, you can always use them in old pc fps ports like Quakes and Dooms 😉 also when Gamma Core gets ported over you will be able to play KOTOR on it 😄 imagine playing it on such small device 🥰

[opaque breach]

From QQ chatroom. Note: Angry Birds and Pac-Man Championship Edition had PSP releases

[languid sundial]

Powdered skittles as buttons start to grow on me,

[wicked owl]

I wish the white one didn’t have the Easter buttons on it

[languid sundial]

I think its beige, not white, if you dont like the buttons I think Sakura will make his usual colorways for it.

[wicked owl]

Oh is it actually beige?

I’ll be going with the Snes anyway

[languid sundial]

I think so, but it could be the lighting on the photos, yeah SNES US looks the best.

[wicked owl]

Once these come out, I wonder how long it would take for transparent versions

[vapid island]

Man I need to know the thickness of this thing closed up. It looks fairly compact but I've been stung before. Also need to know that hinge design and if it'll hold up. Looking at you GPD Win 2 and RP Flip.

[versed shard]

I think it's white with a slight gray-ish tint. There is a light source of warm light on the left in some pictures that makes it look beige.
#1101304832276562012 message

[languid sundial]

hmm still looks kinda beige to me, compare it to the white cup on the right

[versed shard]

We will see.

[languid sundial]

I mean it would probably make more sense that its white seeing they already have a grey option

[silent tusk]

@coarse tulip it's probably a no but did they mention if they'll supply a SDK/sources with the dev units?

[coarse tulip]

I'll ask my guy, but I doubt they mentioned that. They've been a bit short on details. Suns leaning towards there's a decent language barrier because sometimes they confuse each other and it can take a day or so for replies with the time differences.

[proven jay]

ok guys, i saw the new video and no words about screen sizes or analog used

I'm stsrting to think that someone from miyoo is here just for troll other people

[coarse tulip]

I don't even think we have a cost right? Like what's this thing going to run us?

[proven jay]

the cost is interesting
last year, because the chip and the design, i remember that people prices most likely around 100
now the rgb30 is at 40 and you can have for less even the rg35xxsp, i would imagine a possible price max 60

speaking in pounds

[frigid arrow]

RGB30 for £40? Maybe before AliExpress add their tax, and from one of those shops that charge £10 for shipping

You are broadly right though, the rk3566's have come down a lot over the past year. I find the x55 in particular to be great value for what you get.

[proven jay]

i paid mine £45 after tax

[coral ether]

Man I love that pastel dream cast theme

Idk if they’re going for Dreamcast but that’s what it reminds me of

[dusky bane]

I think that RK3566 is slightly better on paper (benchmarks). But MuOS with H700 is very well optimized I beleive. Anyway, I like Myioo's thickness way more than Anbernic's.

[frigid arrow]

Aish said he did some testing, and the h700 sits pretty much in the middle of the rk3566 and rk3326.

[jagged basin]

Can anyone guess what consoles the flip will be able to play up to?

[winged bear]

some n64, some dreamcast, some psp, some saturn

like every rk3566

[jagged basin]

Cool. Anyone have any guesses on price point?

I’d expect not too far off from the RG35XXSP?

[winged bear]

probably more expensive since it's newer

i say 70-80 bucks tops

[jagged basin]

Yeah true

[winged bear]

probably less

[frigid arrow]

It's more powerful than that one, so maybe $10 more than the SP launch price or something.

[nimble portal]

even better

3566 is mainlined and has great drivers these days so as soon as CFW gets developed you can expect more than half the PSP catalog to run

[frigid arrow]

That said, miyoo initially priced the A30 insanely high for what it was, and pretty much halved it quickly, so who knows.

[winged bear]

probably the same with this

they all do the same thing really, anbernics are really expensive for a few weeks

[nimble portal]

cause it flopped initially, it was raised back up

[coral ether]

I just want better N64 in my SP sized device

And this should do it

[nimble portal]

its to punish people that dont fall for the hype cycle early on so they dont get the early bird discount

[nimble portal]

sorta

N64 is still a shitshow

you need to brute force it

[winged bear]

i meant the other way around

[nimble portal]

this chip will do a good bit of games well enough

depending on how rice is feeling that week

[winged bear]

it's much cheaper to wait a month and to buy on aliexpress

[nimble portal]

yeah i know, i mean the weeks right after the early bird discount

[coral ether]

The most demanding n64 game I play is Yoshi honestly lol

[nimble portal]

months later it gets discounted to the real price :P

[winged bear]

i'm waiting for cubexx to be decent prices

[nimble portal]

2D games are often harder to run for accuracy reasons in my experience, but yoshi is a nintendo game so who knows

i mean i run some N64 games on my a30, retroachievements and anything, and this is better than that by a decent margin

on my x55 (same chip) before the new drivers, i used to play perfect dark multiplayer without too much trouble

[frigid arrow]

Worth waiting anyhow. Takes a few months for the CFW to get properly adapted (this will probably need tweaks for hinge closing support, on top of the usual rocknix build).

[frigid arrow]

Just bought two of those as Christmas presents. Insane value for what they are

Cost less than the OG 35xx's I bought last year did.

Worth the upgrade just for the bigger screen and portmaster. Let alone Pico 8 and all the extra power of the 3566.

I was tempted just to put Stardew Valley, balatro, Celeste and shovel knight on there, and leave it at that. Still a great gift then

[nimble portal]

i bought a used batch one before they caught on so i paid more, but yeah, insane power for the price they are going for now, specially with the improvements over the first batch

[nimble portal]

very likely that it will take a shockingly short amount of time on this one

[frigid arrow]

Hopefully.

[nimble portal]

i suspect the screen drivers will be the only real issue, thanks to mainline linux

[dusky bane]

Which half ? The one we want to play or the one we don't care ? 😉

More seriously, I'd be glad if people went to a consensus for evaluation : run the 50 or 100 top games according to - like - Metacritic, record the max multiplier and average (for 3D games)

[nimble portal]

i dunno man, the PSP library is really big and varied, up to you

as for which half, the 222mhz mode one :P

[nimble portal]

pointless, PSP era was some of the worst, most inflamatory eras for reviews in traditional media, armored core 3's PSP port, which is quite good, has a 21 on metacritic

because it was too hard and this was before from soft was famous enough for people to get angry at reviewers for saying from soft games were too hard :P

[dusky bane]

Then IGN. Whatever you prefer, but a consensus.

[dusky bane]

As many here, I'm old school, growned up with Atari 2600. The most insanely difficult era was Amiga's in my opinion. I remember countless hours to beat Project X 😉 At that time, no saves !

[dusky bane]

I agree with you about critics. My point was only to get a metric. It doesn't mean that other games aren't worth to try.

[nimble portal]

IGN was a thing in 2009 :P

[nimble portal]

i just think its specifically a bad way to do this with PSP and DS, not a general rule

besides, a good bit of the best rated PSP games are 333mhz games, which you'll likely not run on this chip

its 50% more CPU clock you are emulating and the 3566 really chokes on that, no video drivers can fix a CPU bottleneck

[dusky bane]

I actually did stop gaming with PS2. I was really fed up with the same games over and over. And I was desparate when I read so bad and stupid critics about games such as Ico or Rez. To me, gaming was dead with PS2, and I stopped. Unfortunately, I've missed the indie scene after that.

[nimble portal]

wild take but i heard that a lot from millenials lol

[frigid arrow]

I like moby games. They include user reviews, so initial bad critics reviews get corrected over time.

This does mean retro games get worse reviews though, as they are partially reviewed on how good they are now, rather than how good they were on release.

[dusky bane]

You had to play Final Fantasy iii, then iv, then.... x. And all these blockbuster franchises. Really boring after a while. The same games over and over, no creativity and when a game was creative, butchered by magazines only raving about graphics.

[frigid arrow]

Same. I ducked out after the Dreamcast.

Next gen didn't mean crazy jumps in what you could do anymore. Everything was just getting bigger, rather than being new genres.

[nimble portal]

i wasnt even concious while the dreamcast wasnt discontinued lmao

and for my generation the 6th gen is held as one of the best of all time, and the 7th gen as a gigantic fuck up

[dusky bane]

That was my guess... you don't bother with capitals 😉

To me, Amiga was the best all time. SNES was super nice, NeoGeo an inaccessible dream, PS1/Saturn was refreshing due to the novelty of 3D. Then N64 was miserable and DC really made 3D shine. After that, I don't know 😉 I left the boat by PS2.

So to come back to Miyoo Flip, I'd really love if it could play Saturn and most Dreamcast. But that's asking a bit too much, isn't it ? Like Rez on Dreamcast !

[frigid arrow]

Yeah, when next gen jumps usually mean nes-snes-n64-gc.....past that it's a bit of a wash really.

There's a reason why the switch has dominated with hardware not much better than the PS3.

You don't need much more for great games.

I was not playing TotK thinking, man, I wish this was bigger, with raytracing and better grass texture.

Ok, maybe the framerate could have been better

[nimble portal]

what does that mean?

im 23 man lmao

[dusky bane]

Not to blame you, really. But I've noticed that younger people more usually don't bother that much with capital letters when they type.

[winged bear]

i'm 31, i bother with capitals when i'm writing business emails, not chatting about retro handhelds

[cloud crystal]

yeah

[dusky bane]

I'm 51 and I always bother with capitals 😉

And my 16 yo daughter never bothers with capials 😉

You are in between !

[winged bear]

discord isn't discord without the shitty capitalization, sorry

gotta keep the vibe

[dusky bane]

ah ok. sorry. let me try !

[cloud crystal]

still cant believe this is finally happening

[nimble portal]

yeah as the other person said, capitals are like a formality thing, they arent actually a significant part of communication

[hazy vapor]

btw how much is Flip gonna cost?

[cloud crystal]

prolly like 60-80

[proven jay]

3 flippers more or less

[wanton kraken]

More than $5 is my guess

[pale gyro]

I forgot this thing still had a following.

[late field]

They used vita sticks damnit

[lament idol]

That was my exact thought too

https://tenor.com/view/samuel-l-jackson-yes-they-deserved-to-die-i-hope-they-burn-to-hell-gif-16084607

[rotund ember]

Why is this bad?

[late field]

bad for me, i hate them 🤣 only reason I’m not really fond of the TSP

[winged bear]

rather have vita sticks than cursed switch sticks that don't click

[obsidian vessel]

i rather have sticks than no sticks

[keen shard]

I’d rather have a Wii mote and nunchuck than no Wii mote and nunchuck

[pale gyro]

No L/R3 is why vita sticks are bad.

[obsidian vessel]

What games use l3/r3?

[lament idol]

I mostly just don’t like vita sticks because they don’t pass the Mario 64 test for me. They don’t feel comfortable to me

[obsidian vessel]

You use the right stick for c?

Well I’m buying one anyway

[cloud crystal]

good for hotkey

[dusk glen]

portmaster games like half life 2 and portal (if they get ported over)

I played them on my RG35XXH (before I sold it for an SP)

[tranquil citrus]

are 3ds sliders better than vita sticks?

[loud quartz]

no

[late field]

Oh yeah that. If this is really an RK3566 that's gonna affect cfws

[keen shard]

For footprint yes, I probably prefer them to vita sticks personally. Though they aren’t as good as the Thinkpad nipple

[tranquil citrus]

is the thinkpad nipple really that good

[keen shard]

I like using it, but it’s very much an either you hate it or love it kind of thing.

[opaque breach]

The only minut/quasi-analog control add-on on any gaming device that's actually valid is the trackball

Why NOT a tiny track ball

The size of a regular A button

[wanton kraken]

Yes

[blazing maple]

Circle pad supremacy

[frail kestrel]

Vita sticks lol

[pale gyro]

This looks so cheap lol

[sand blade]

I’d argue they’re better than Switch Sticks for handhelds intended to be pocketable, and exponentially better for clamshells.

[opaque breach]

Why not just a mousepad

[somber bone]

Is no one else worried about the skinny D-pad? lol

The proportions seem off

[gilded wasp]

Because it will be cheap

[pale gyro]

35 dollars ?

[gilded wasp]

Anything under $100 AUD is cheap

[pale gyro]

Idk you can get xx sp for 41 now. Miyoo waited a long time.

[gilded wasp]

If the buttons aren’t too clicky and like the mini+ this will 💩 all over the SP.

[obsidian vessel]

Only if it’s like $50

[lament idol]

Vita sticks might lose me on this purchase, my buy depends on whether the software and the buttons are good. I’m waiting until reviews

[serene gyro]

This would be perfect with Brick's screen and MagicX's sticks. Well, nothing is perfect and it's always how much you're willing to compromise. At least to me this is already better than RG35xxSP. I hope MagicX will tease their SP before I buy the Flip.

[gilded wasp]

Everything is better with the brick or pro20 screen

[valid pendant]

I'm just happy we're finally getting SP style handhelds

[tacit star]

I doubt the software will be good.

Feels like the A30 and miyoo mini, in my opinion. Good bones and the community will turn this into a real gem.

[obtuse cobalt]

I just spent too much money on getting a rp5 and looks like I'm gonna have to put the money down and get one of these now

[radiant burrow]

At least this will be cheap lol

[obtuse cobalt]

Probably around $50-$60 USD so about $80-$100 AUD for me

[opaque breach]

背包胖熊's video upload with more demos and even a USB gamepad

[coral ether]

Man that thing looks so hot

I can’t wait

I’m ready for it

[tranquil citrus]

my body is ready

[feral marsh]

kinda annoyed the red buttons are X and Y instead of A and B

[serene raft]

Yay still has the vita store music

[serene raft]

Some of these are switch sticks I think, weird

[proven jay]

the miyoo flip will be released with both sticks, send them in a random way like the rtc function

[shadow star]

I need one of these leakers to put it side by side with a 35xxsp

[dusky bane]

The flip seems to be the size of a GBA SP, so the pictures comparing the GBA with Anbernic's are helpful.

[hybrid silo]

white with black shoulder buttons looks so clean

[dusky bane]

I don't get Myioo's communication policy. Still no price, no date and no detailed specs. In the mean time, black friday is running with coupon codes everywhere.

I could have been patient if I had information about this Flip but as a pocketable device to compliment my RP5, I've now bought a Brick for $48.8 VAT out on Aliexpress. And I won't buy a Flip as well.

[frigid arrow]

They think the RK3566 is eternal. It doesn't matter when it's released, or how many similarly specced devices come out, people will still buy it.

If they are just targeting people in the handheld niche, they may not be wrong

[rotund ember]

Hell, it's gonna be an upgrade for a lot of people

[west ivy]

They lost me as well , was first interested but now couldn’t care any less .
Hope it sells well but the forever delay has me not caring for it anymore

[verbal crown]

The miyoo name will still sell a ton on the Facebook/reddit groups that don’t live on here and know the difference

As a side note I did see the onion devs are getting units

[proven adder]

indeed, the miyoo name still has pull

[rotund ember]

"no-no, guys, you've got it all wrong, TrimUI and Miyoo are different companies" my ass

[tranquil citrus]

What's with all the misinformation?

[proven adder]

yes the advertisement is completely wrong, the brick is 3.2" and not even amoled

[rotund ember]

Oh fuck, I didn't even notice the AMOLED part

[proven adder]

and it's 3000mah

[valid pendant]

Well that's rather interesting

[atomic elbow]

I'm thinking somehow they grabbed the brick photo and put the specs of the v4 MM up there.

Then just fudged the screen and lied that it was AMOLED

Buzzwords!

[obsidian vessel]

theres a ton of fake shit on aliexp

[atomic elbow]

Anyway idk. I'm excited for the Flip (if and when it ever comes out) +6Months for CFW to come out and the price to drop. I love my MM+ and I've had it awhile. Maybe 2 years or more - Onion OS is awesome. I got a MM V4 and only because I was able to get it for like $35. I just got an a30....cause it was $20....I'll get this when its like $25-30 and theres CFW

[obsidian vessel]

they said Onion devs are getting copies too... onionOS on this would be rad.

[atomic elbow]

Yeah we shall see. I mean they sidestepped the A30 because of the CPU change

So this is pretty much confirmed RK3566. Never say never but it won't be a port per se, rather a new version of onion

[obsidian vessel]

i wonder if onionOS on the flip would mean onion on other devices too

[atomic elbow]

Yeah thats kinda what I'm getting at lol

[obsidian vessel]

that'd be pretty big.

[atomic elbow]

Like their whole thing was they were sticking to the MM/MM+ because of the chipset

so if they ARE willing to branch out, to what effect

[neat wedge]

I'm gonna also guess a Rocknix port (maybe ArkOS and GammaCore too?) will also come since those already exist for RK3566 devices

[versed swallow]

nice polished video and the colors are gorgeous, I'm bullish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-bz-RICr5I

Listening to Adin Walls last podcast (with Taki) it seems people struggle to understand how Anbernic does so many devices so often, but whatever, looking forward to this one!

[obsidian vessel]

wait holy crap they officially announced it?

MIYOO-FLIP will be available for sale on Amazon US and Aliexpress at the same time. More information, please wait for the next unboxing video.```

[dusk glen]

I really like the snes themed one but I'm going to get black

[versed swallow]

yeah, I'm getting the snes! I guess black is nice to blend with screen black borders when the emulated screen ratio mismatches

[dusk glen]

I'll probably end up picking up both if it ends up being a great device

[obsidian vessel]

i definitely want black

[dusk glen]

it will match my thinkpad and GPD Win Mini

[obsidian vessel]

i shouldve gotten SFC for my rp mini 😦

then it would've matched

[dusk glen]

just looked up the sfc rp mini and dang that's a nice colour

I think I'll finally have my two end game devices once the flip releases. Win Mini for higher end emulation (everything after PS1 up to PS3) and AAA titles....Miyoo Flip for retro emulation (everything up to PS1)

[woven merlin]

Probably Black but ngl I don't care for the color choices here much

[ripe nacelle]

Dang where did the black and green go 😔

[fast lantern]

Black could be the only transparent model so I'm getting black too

[timber spindle]

Oh my mini flip is ready????

[subtle mango]

mayhaps

[woven merlin]

If it's transparent I'm not getting it lol

I'm hoping it's a solid black

[fast lantern]

Afraid the hinge might break?

[woven merlin]

Nah, I just don't like transparent black

[obsidian vessel]

Looks like someone is getting an rg35xx sp for Christmas

[limpid rivet]

Depending on how easy it is to remove the case, you could mix up the black and yellow models into two bumblebee themed units, lol

[timber spindle]

@subtle mango bet who buys ones and have it delivered first?

Miyoo flip -game of death edition

[proven adder]

https://x.com/forthenextlive/status/1861379487373631713

[tranquil citrus]

TM

[keen shard]

Anyone else feel like we’ve gone from, “miyoo flip is coming sooooon” to “miyoo mini is coming sOOOn.”?

[proven jay]

after some photoshopping I'm pretty sure that the screen is not the same of trimui brick
from the picture and using the usb c for dimensions is around 70mm large

[tranquil citrus]

Honestly I'm fine with the flip even if it's just a 3.5" 640x480 screen

[tranquil citrus]

the bezels are much smaller than the rg35xxsp which will allow it to be more pocketable

it's the size of a gba sp afterall

And while I'm not sure aboutthose sticks on the bottom they should still be useful for 3d games. More so than using the dpad.

[languid sundial]

I wonder if this will follow the same cycle as all Miyoo devices - the reviewers will initially hate it until CFWs are released. ;D

[rotund ember]

Well I don't think I'm gonna buy it just because it's another clamshell, but I will if something interesting happens on the CFW side

Like I bought MM+ just to try Onion

But since this uses Rockchip, I kinda doubt we're gonna see something other devices don't have, but who knows, maybe this will get huge

[atomic elbow]

yeah imma wait. I'm sure it won't review super well initially

The A30 screen brightness thing would have been a dealbreaker if I wanted one at launch

I have one coming in the mail cause $20, if it wasn't that cheap I wouldn't have bought it at all.

[woven merlin]

Do we know the specs

[atomic elbow]

assume RK3566 and mali whatever goes with that lol

3.2" Screen

[neat wedge]

True, though it may take a while before we see Rocknix or GammaCore...

[atomic elbow]

Yeah again i'm curious to see the final eventual launch but I definitely will be waiting atleast 2-3 if not 6+ months to see where CFW takes this and how cheap it gets. I'd pick it up for $25-30

[woven merlin]

Why would I assume that

Miyoo hasn't used those

[verbal crown]

Do you have a reason you think it’s the 3.2? This has been in development forever and I think always assumed to be 3.5

[verbal crown]

I really doubt it’s getting that cheap, even on sale.

[woven merlin]

Ok so I do see that they said it was a 3566

I see reports that it's a 3.5 inch screen

[verbal crown]

I don’t think the 3.2 brick screen was even an option when development started for this thing

Or way more people would have used it by now

[woven merlin]

If this had the brick screen

I'd buy it just for that

[umbral pendant]

They'd be making noise about a 1024x768 screen, I think.

[woven merlin]

Yea true

I assume it's gonna be 480p as per usual

[atomic elbow]

For some reason I swore it was 3.2" screen. But hey 3.5 would be great

Sorry, spreading misinformation

[verbal crown]

3.2 inch clamshell would be awesome though, it’s just your subconscious desires leaking out 😁

[coarse tulip]

Just release the specs Miyoo, wtf lol

[verbal crown]

They’re trying the slow drip like Retroid, except for someone forgot to tell them that it’s supposed to be over a week or so and not 2 years

[silk meadow]

possibility this could be the foldable 20pro if 3.2" then high res screen

[woven merlin]

Funny looking back at posts

Miyoo Flip coming out December 2023

[languid sundial]

It could very well be trimui brick screen but they are pretty bad at marketing,

[frigid arrow]

I think I gave up on it actually releasing about 6 months ago.

I remain surprised it could actually be a thing.

[tranquil citrus]

3.2 is probably misinformation since it was definitely 3.5 inch screen in the beginning unless they changed the whole thing mid developement

[woven merlin]

Surprise it's a 4 inch clamshell this whole time 😉

[verbal crown]

5.5 OLED take it or leave it

[valid pendant]

11", surprise it's a laptop!

[rotund ember]

They never said it was 3.2 — but tbf don't think they ever said it was 3.5 either, people just assumed that because the patent said Miyoo 355 or something while Miyoo A30 was Miyoo 282

Otherwise it was just speculation because the photos they posted made the screen seem smaller than 35xxSP

I can't find it, but there was a photo of the Flip next to the original SP, and Flip looked like the screen was about the same size as SP's screen + bezels

While 35xxSP is bigger than SP's screen

[final hare]

no way it's the 3.2 768p screen. that would be way too radical for miyoo. a conservative 3.5in 480p is what it will be

[rotund ember]

Btw, just thought yeah, that patent in April'23 really helped Miyoo, didn't it

#1101304832276562012 message

Like what purpose did it even serve other than alert everyone (including Anbernic) that it might be coming

I dunno Chinese laws, maybe it's not really for IP protection in the first place, but still funny to me

(at the same time, for some reason we don't see a lot of Anbernic patents, so maybe they really aren't that useful)

[languid sundial]

Miyoo was always strange, even back in the Bittboy days

[dawn stream]

Development took so long that it would not be surprising to find there was some sort of radical change of plans.

[verbal crown]

Alright every one good talks. Let’s plan to meet again next year we might have confirmed specs by then

[dawn stream]

well, next year is only a month away

[verbal crown]

I mean yeah, there’s some double meaning there. That’s part of the joke

It can also be interpreted that we’ll come back in a year and be in the same spot

Like we did last year to this year

[hushed field]

When is it coming out!

[neat wedge]

At thr rate we're going, when Powkiddy has switched to a different chip to milk on their handhelds /lh

(Just be lucky they haven't thought of making a RK3566 flip yet...)

[tacit lava]

this is probs conjecture but i remember panda mimi and i always had an inkling it was run by miyoo/bittboy

and then they tried to make it seem like it was an independent operation by reviewing their own competitor's products

[shadow star]

As with all Miyoo products, I’ll wait to buy this until a good CFW is made for it.

[subtle mango]

I'll probably buy it a little after reviewers make vids on it, mainly waiting for tech dweebs vid

[opaque breach]

I'm curious if already existing custom OSes can just run on it

[neat wedge]

Might need some modification to work

(Just a guess. Apparently, the GKD Bubble has a different bootloader structure compared to the Powkiddys, so it won't surprise me if Miyoo ALSO did some weird stuff too)

[verbal crown]

Same chip usually means theres at least a starting point, but almost never does it mean things work with no modifications. Always a couple little shenanigans to iron out.

[pale gyro]

Flliiiiiiiiiiiipppppppppp

https://tenor.com/view/i-wanna-flip-that-saturday-night-live-entrepreneur-hustle-side-hustle-gif-20315147

[dusky bane]

It's been 7 days since they posted this video. What do they exactly mean by "soon" ? Obvioulsy not one day, and not one week. Is it a month or a year ?

[shadow star]

https://tenor.com/P9PU.gif

[verbal crown]

The cycle repeats itself, they give hope just to let it wither

[rotund ember]

Miyoo's customer support is kicking it up a notch, I guess

[arctic surge]

As a KT-R1 follower, soon is my normal.

[verbal crown]

At least that’s just a one man show, it’s understandable. I’m not sure how Miyoo hasn’t found a PR guy or something yet to help them not say “Soon” for 18 months

[feral marsh]

I would think likely in time for the Christmas rush

[arctic surge]

they’re probably rushing to get it to the US first before the Trump Tariff kicks in

[tranquil citrus]

tm

[meager sky]

[verbal crown]

Asking the Miyoo team if they’ll give us ANY info besides “soon”

[coarse tulip]

Heard on the grapevine "Delayed to december"

That's two sources removed from Miyoo but that's the source apparently lol.

[verbal crown]

Shoot, the delayed til (current month+1) cycle is beginning again

[coarse tulip]

Surely it has to be the last delay though right? RIGHT!? Lol. They are advertising and they told us they are prepping dev units. Idk what happened. Those software issues are a bitch apparently

[verbal crown]

If it's really the 3566 I'm stunned that there's issues they can't solve by looking through any of the custom firmwares code and going "oh yeah that makes sense"

Not advocating plagiarism, for clarification

[somber bone]

To be fair December isn’t even a week away so this “delay” doesn’t mean much

Like… was there really a chance it was shadow dropping in the next 4 days?

[coarse tulip]

Yeah but it's not going to be December 1st, going from "Soon" to "December" really implies mid December rather than any day now.

[waxen estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/getting-old-aging-game-grumps-gif-11048921

Actual marketing has started

"Soon" is likely not a lie anymore

[dusk glen]

any info on whether the sticks will be clickable or not?

[ripe nacelle]

What happened to my beautiful charcoal and green 😭

[scenic hull]

they cooked it too long, now its BURNT

[timber spindle]

Really sad. I was hyped..now I'm not :/

[somber bone]

I remember when you were a doggo who wanted to fetch a Miyoo flip

Now you’re a doggo who wants to bury a Miyoo flop

[neat wedge]

Is this before or after all the Aliexpress sales?

[verbal crown]

It would have to go on sale in the next week to catch the current sale, I kinda doubt it's happening

but would love to be wrong

pricing is a little more than I'd want, will probably wait for reviews

[opaque breach]

From QQ chatroom

[obsidian vessel]

That’s… not a 3.5 screen is it

Why are they being so secretive about it

[opaque breach]

Seems like 3.5

Anbernic has more bezels

[obsidian vessel]

Ohhh

[scenic hull]

the dpad.... it looks trash to me, the buttons are lower profile tho, i wonder if clicky or not

[obsidian vessel]

I want it 🤤

The sticks look terrible to use

lol

[scenic hull]

it probly wont be too bad considering how small the device is

[tranquil citrus]

omg finally

The difference is pretty massive

but honestly this comparison just made me aware of how cheap the miyoo flip looks compared to the xxsp

Maybe if someone in the future makes high quality shells it could match the xxsp aestetically

[obsidian vessel]

The dpad does look sus

Not at all like the Miyoo mini+

[calm smelt]

In what way? The metallic finish? Because honestly I don't think the metallic finish of the xxsp looks "high quality" at all.

[tranquil citrus]

well it doesn't look cheap imo

which the miyoo mini flip clearly is

anyway I'll still buy it

[obsidian vessel]

I love my sp but I do wish I had at least 1 stick for portmaster games

The flip will also play some n64 and psp so the sticks matter

[tranquil citrus]

Yeah I'm pretty excited to play ocarina of time on my miyoo mini flip however uncomfortable it could be

[gilded wasp]

This all comes down to the face buttons and how clicky they are. If they aren’t clicky it’s going to be a winner.

[timber spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/fish-fanatic-dog-digging-treasure-hunting-bone-hiding-gif-14470169

digging the grave

[tranquil citrus]

Why is clickiness bad though?

ps vita, ds, gba sp all have clicky buttons and people love their dpads

[rotund ember]

I suppose it can disturb your partner if you're playing in bed

My gf however would wake up even from membrane buttons, so gaming at night is just a no-go in general

Otherwise can't say SP's clickiness has bothered me much, and I have the first revision

[gilded wasp]

I’ve owned 100’s of these handhelds and the two SP’s I’ve owned old version and new are some of the clickiest face buttons I’ve used and make the experience not enjoyable. If I kept on using them around the house I would be a single man. If you have the brick, this is how the buttons should be like.

[tranquil citrus]

It would be funny to imagine a tiny little handheld ruining a whole relationship

I am personally a fan of clicky dpad. They feel responsive for me. And most dpads I've used do not have false diognals

[ocean oracle]

$70-$80 is a little too high for this I fear

[subtle mango]

eh that's around average now for a 3566 handheld

[gilded wasp]

I think you need to use the brick dpad, it’s has a little click but it’s perfect just like the original smart.

[tranquil citrus]

well rn for me it's either the brick on this

when reviews from russ come out I'll decide which one to buy

[gilded wasp]

Russ isn’t god, he is just a guy on YouTube with his opinion. Sometimes he says a HH isn’t that good and I’ve got it and it’s great. Original trimUI Smart review is a good example of this. I got this at launch and this was definitely the best small HH available until now, the brick is now king.

[proven jay]

definitely smaller
probably they have the bezels behind the housing
wonder how much delicate will be

tbh the soc in this small factor is what really surprise me

[rotund ember]

Why is it surprising though? Kinda typical these days

I mean, RK3566 is slightly stronger than H700/A133, but it's not a generational jump unless a chip has A7x cores

[proven jay]

do you reckon?
my rgb30 became pretty toasty and for sure have more space

[rotund ember]

Oh, yeah, I'm also interested how it will handle temps

I think it's gonna be more or less like H700 — fine as long as you don't touch the 5th gen (which kinda kills any performance advantage)

[proven jay]

maybe some kind of down clock for emulate at best with the minimum necessary

[tranquil citrus]

Shouldn't get hot if you only play stuff like gba and snes

[serene gyro]

So far I am liking what I am seeing. To me Flip's build quality looks better than xxSP; the gap between frame is not as noticeable as xxSP, hinge also looks sturdier. xxSP's screen looks quite a bit larger than Flip in the picture, even after considering the black bezel around xxSP screen. And best of all Flip will actually be pocketable unlike xxSP; I would've bought xxSP if it had the same dimension as GBA SP. I am glad Miyoo changed the stick to vita style ones, didn't like the one they use in A30. I wish they could use the stick MagicX is using.

[limpid rivet]

the price will probably go to something like 50-60 usd during sales, and waiting a lil longer won't hurt

[umbral pendant]

Shaderless anyway. Or running very light stuff like sharp-shimmerless.

[rotund ember]

I think I'll just do what I did with SP — wait until my local resellers get it

QA issues will probably be ironed out until then, and I'll get a handheld in two hours instead of two weeks

SP was literally my impulse birthday gift to myself

Then again if Touch One works out, I won't even consider another up to PSX handheld

[fast lantern]

Love that size and the round corners will make it fit snuggly in my pocket 😁

[neat wedge]

I'm wondering if this will have more or less build issues than the Powkiddys using the same CPU

[opaque breach]

As of right now PK doesn't seem to use heavily customized firmware

[zinc juniper]

Are we convinced it’s still 3.5 and the bezels are much smaller than the sp, or could it be the 768p 3.2 screen?

[errant ravine]

Considering the overall size is nearly identical to the GBA SP, I would guess 3.2”

[verbal crown]

I disagree, it looks like a 3.5 with smaller bezels to me, but we’re basically just speculating

It is nice that it’s thinner than the 35xxsp when folded up

I wonder if that means it’ll take a hit on battery life

[zinc juniper]

also wonder how hot it'll get

and how those shallow buttons and dpad will feel

hopefully gets into the hands of reviewers in time for preorders

not a great measurement given angles, but i'm seeing the diagonal line across the screen of the SP = 600px 475px, the diagonal line across the screen of the Flip = 400px415px.

[verbal crown]

Huh, guess it could be a smaller screen

The dpad being so narrow is weird to me

[zinc juniper]

Double checking that measurement...

SP = ~475px
Flip = ~415px

[verbal crown]

That seems more reasonable

If it is the brick screen it will be a clear upgrade over the XXSP

[zinc juniper]

I tried to account for the bezel by excluding it from the measurement, but hard to see it perfectly. If everything were perfect with my measurement (it's not), the SP screen would be 14.5% larger than the Flip

The numbers do make it look like the Flip has a 3.2" screen, I think a 3.5" is ~10-15% larger than a 3.2"

[verbal crown]

3.5/3.2 is 1.09, so just under 10% bigger

Which with your pixel math seems pretty close.

[zinc juniper]

it's hard to say though, because I think the bottom left of the SP looks closer to the camera than the bottom right of the Flip, so perspective is not exact

speculating is fun but we'll find out for real soon if miyoo speeds up the slow drip

[verbal crown]

Yeah that’s true, if they’re not exactly spaced this is meaningless 😅

I think the controls are my concern at this point. The sticks are going to be interesting.

[zinc juniper]

they're so shallow yeah

the buttons anyway. the sticks, if they're similar to the A30s where they're usable and not cardinally snapping, but are completely out of the way, could be a nice value add

especially for portmaster

[verbal crown]

The buttons probably can’t be too tall to interfere with the screen, but I hope the travel is okay on them.

The original Gameboy SP buttons are pretty shallow too, so it will probably depend on the dome switches underneath

[obsidian vessel]

If it’s 3.2” 1024x768 it’s gonna be a major selling point

[zinc juniper]

i'd be more willing to spend $80 on this thing if it were the nicer 3.2 screen

[obsidian vessel]

Hell anbernic took 20 years to add 720p screen

To its 4” models

[dawn stream]

I don't care how thick the SP's bezels are, those screens are not the same size.

[verbal crown]

Would help explain the delay if they did change the screen out, I’m more convinced after the pixel math

[dawn stream]

man, if that's really the Brick's screen, this will really give the flip a good edge against the SP.

[verbal crown]

Yeah the brick screen is pretty universally liked

[neat wedge]

Heh, I meant hardware reliability

[obsidian vessel]

Pretty exciting and what I want from a flip console. N64 support, sticks, ultimate flip console

[verbal crown]

Hopefully if it’s well received there’s lots of mods put out

[neat wedge]

Agreed

[dusk glen]

I don't mind a smaller screen if it means having a more pocketable device compared to the rg35xxsp. Higher quality screen would be a huge bonus

[obsidian vessel]

I’m just hoping it doesn’t have overheating issues with n64/psp

[zinc juniper]

How's the brick do with those? Might be similar

[obsidian vessel]

Isn’t the brick A133?

Rgb30 has heat issues iirc

But it’s also powkiddy lol

[zinc juniper]

Ah yeah it is

What's another recently released 3356 device? How's it do with heat issues?

[obsidian vessel]

Rgb20 pro

[dawn stream]

The trimui smart pro is definitely worse with heat issues than the RGB30

actually, I don't think heat was ever a particular issue with it.

wasn't the Onion OS team looking into porting onto the 3566?

[neat wedge]

GKD Bubble. Not sure about heat issues

[proven adder]

No heat issues on the Bubble.

[coarse tulip]

Source?

[hushed field]

Ok, miss read it. If they like the device. From the horses mouth

[feral marsh]

I measured this too myself last night, but wasn't sure if it was a perspective illusion

it does seem quite a bit smaller though for it just to be perspective

[umbral pendant]

Gonna be funny if Miyoo just dug up some unconventional 3.2"ish 480p display.

[feral marsh]

Have we seen a device with a 3.2" 480p screen before?

[umbral pendant]

Not that I know.

[feral marsh]

yeah I can't think of any

[languid sundial]

Still hopeful for Brick's screen

and betterbuttons than xxSP

Anbernic should copy Trimui or Retroid next time when designing clicky dpad and buttons

[dawn stream]

What we can try to avoid perspective confusion is to use the Vita sticks for scale

trying to adjust perspective, lol

Trimui Smart Pro's dpad is not that great IMO. Good for precision, horrible for diagonals. It's Basically the Switch Lite dpad -.-

People are saying the Brick's dpad is better, tho

[proven jay]

it is anyway a considerable feat, particularly in comparison to the anbernic one

[lilac heart]

2025 here we come!

[proven jay]

still debugging 🤝

[tranquil citrus]

still assebling the 1st prototypes

[verbal crown]

I’m sure they’re building a ton of stock because people get upset when they sell out. Miyoo has to deal with more of the masses than a lot of these companies because they had lightning strike with the mini and mini plus.

And the masses get real grumpy about “bad business practices” when the small company doesn’t have 10,000 in stock at all times

[unreal sail]

does it say 2000 or 3000 mah on the battery? i cant tell

[obsidian vessel]

How is that a 3.5 screen

[verbal crown]

I feel like these support dudes are always in the dark as much as we are

[jolly sequoia]

I already love those rounded corners at the bottom

[errant ravine]

Ain’t no way that’s a 3.5” screen

[tranquil spindle]

It has to be that new 3.2 screen imo. I just wish it didn't have sticks 🙃

[zinc juniper]

i love that they are just answering questions like these. lotsa companies wouldnt confirm details over chat haha

if it ends up being 3.2 we know that theyre just guessing lol

[languid sundial]

yeah looks 3.2

[zinc juniper]

but it was announced as the miyoo 355 last year

it definitely looks like they updated it to the nicer 3.2" though

hoping for 768p 3.2, will be happy with 3.5 480p though

[languid sundial]

Yeah, I think it looks smaller vs when we saw the first prototypes, but is it really 3.2? I hope so 😉

BTW The build quality looks very good in the video

[zinc juniper]

785px vs 700px diagonally, trying to exclude bezel - there is definitely bezel on the flip too. measuring from the video when theyre at an angle

that's still ~10% smaller, still makes it look like the flip is 3.2

camera angle could still be enough to cause the difference though, it's hard to tell because the bezel is 3-4x larger on the sp

[languid sundial]

This gets me seriously excited

[languid sundial]

Could you check the screenshot I posted above? its from the end of the video and they seem to be exactly in front of the camera

[zinc juniper]

it's kinda tiny, but 215 vs 185 px, still ~15% difference

[languid sundial]

but if it has the same screen as Trimui Brick than it will destroy xxSP

[zinc juniper]

other retro discord is convinced this is just a very thin bezelled 3.5, it might be

[languid sundial]

let's just hope they will make the buttons better, I really hope the rumors that they are the same company as Trimui is correct and they will use the same micro switches 😉

[zinc juniper]

are trimui's buttons and dpad clicky?

[languid sundial]

they are, but they arer much better quality than anbernic's clicky buttons from SP

[zinc juniper]

that's good. between my miyoo a30 and odin2mini i havent dealt with clicky buttons recently, though my new xbox controller is extremely clicky and loud and is not my favorite

[languid sundial]

To be honest I like clicky buttons when they are done well

I thought Odin 2 mini had clicky buttons, am I wrong?

or at least clicky dpad

[zinc juniper]

if it is i'm impressed, it's the best d-pad i've used. it feels very different from my xbox controller's audibly clicky dpad, it's pretty quiet.

[verbal crown]

It’s a clicky dpad for sure, just a very high quality one

[languid sundial]

But Trimui and Retroid are also doing very good quality clicky dpads

[zinc juniper]

tGecko in the other discord showcasing that the screen sizes are closer than it may seem 👀 soon we'll hear confirmation if it's 3.5 or 3.2, proly 3.5

near-bezelless 3.5 is impressive too

[inland roost]

I was just about to ask about screen size

Have they placed a shot of it beside a gba sp yet? Looks like they’re going for 1:1 size

[wanton kraken]

If it's the 3.5" 480p then it's a hard pass

[coarse tulip]

Wow I wonder how big the screen is. It could be a 3.2" or a 3.5”. I do wonder...what if it's a 3.5" or a 3.2". I guess no one's really talked about though if the screen was 3.2". Maybe we need more posts about it side by side with other devices. Possibly counting more pixels and diagrams. Also what if it's like a 3.5” screen? That might be the case as well. Idk if anyone is really talking about if the screen is a 3.2" or a 3.5" maybe if we keep talking about it for another four days straight we can get to the bottom of it and conclude that it just might in fact be a 3.2" or 3.5" device.

[inland roost]

Wonder if anbernic is making a rg40xxsp

….i may buy that too

[verbal crown]

Wild card here, but what if it's the 3.2 brick screen, haven't heard anyone discuss that

[coarse tulip]

Hmm. Looking at photos I think it could be that size. Or that size plus 0.3". Hard to say

[somber bone]

Miyoo actually discovered a trove of 1080p 3.35in screens. You heard it here first guys

[inland roost]

oled too?

[somber bone]

Obviously

[coarse tulip]

Hmm it does look like it could go either way. I'd like to talk extensively about both outcomes instead of waiting for more info. If it was oled and if it wasn't what are your fill thoughts and opinions? Please also consider this, what if it's a 3.2" screen or a 3.5” screen I believe if I draw a diagonal across the screen enough times and post it well figure it out.

[obsidian vessel]

Ayo lol

[coarse tulip]

Oh okay, this makes the post where someone asked and they said it was a 3.2" screen into question.

I think we should ask them 8 more times then average the answers

[obsidian vessel]

I think this is the first response on the resolution

I asked lol

[tacit lava]

I’d be surprised if they were going with 3.2 screens actually

the miyoo flip was in development for at least 1.5yrs

[coarse tulip]

Well let's talk about it. Is it a 3.2" screen or a 3.5" screen? 🤔

What if it was the opposite of what you thought?

[tacit lava]

the 3.2’ inch screens are quite a newly discovered thing

[tacit lava]

I would go back to being a cat

[obsidian vessel]

I think it’s a 3.2.5” screen

Or maybe it’s a 3.5.2” screen

[coarse tulip]

Have you considered the 7 different side by side shots against an SP though? I don't think you did. Because there are 4 of them posted every day and they tell a murky story

[somber bone]

It’s all about creating an air of ✨M Y S T I Q U E ✨

[tacit lava]

we cat's don't have the capacity to consider those things

we consider what our brain tells us is correct

which as you know is quite big

[coarse tulip]

Cats can see the 0.3" difference. They have to as cats because how else would they know if they can slip through the crack or not.

So as a cat you should consider the three videos posted multiple times a day of the flip next to other devices and possibly imagine the screen touching your whiskers to decide 3.2" or 3.5"

[somber bone]

False, they’ll palpate the two screens with their whiskers to decide which one is big enough to sklorp into (edit: I see you’ve considered this. Please disregard)

[tacit lava]

we actually lick our screens

[obsidian vessel]

I’m convinced it’s 3.5” 640x480

[serene gyro]

The width of MM+ is 78.5mm and GBA SP 82mm. Considering Flip has almost the same dimension as SP and how narrow the frame to the side of Flip screen looks, I was convinced for the last few days its a 3.5 screen. But I am perfectly fine with the screen on my MM+ and I haven't seen the 3.2 screen yet so it don't bother me. I'll be buying the Flip it there is no major issue.

[coarse tulip]

Okay but what if it's a 3.2” screen? I don't think you've truly thought it through

WHAT IF ITS A
3.5" SCREEN THOUGH? Idk if that's been a counter point 🤯

[tacit lava]

what if it is a 4 inch screen that has been magically reduced

https://tenor.com/view/stonks-up-stongs-meme-stocks-gif-15715298

[coarse tulip]

I'm into it

[somber bone]

Same

So it’s agreed? 4” screen?

[rotund ember]

3.2 640x480 and nobody wins

[rotund ember]

This is the rumor mill section, sir, you must be new

[opaque breach]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SBCGaming/comments/1h3b7rg/rg35xxsp_side_by_side_with_the_miyoo_flip/

[languid sundial]

Agree, speculation is all the fun here 😉 Otherwise we would be waiting for news and with Miyoo it would be super boring

[rotund ember]

I mean, considering last year people were making preview videos for a 3D-printed model of the thing, speculating screen sizes sounds pretty healthy

[languid sundial]

the question is what was the screen size of the 3D-printed model xD

[dusty pecan]

I used to complain a lot about all 3.5 in devices out there being 480p and people always piled on me because higher resolutions were not necessary, good to see the standard has finally changed 😁

seriously, the reason I sold my MM+ was the lower ppi being sooooo noticeable compared to the MM that had a smaller screen. Things just look so much sharper

[umbral pendant]

Weird, right? Not like you're asking much.

[sand blade]

Be careful with this statement, you might attract the people who hate when screens are 0.3” smaller than what they wanted.

[languid sundial]

Mate, I would advise you to never buy a Steam Deck, its ppi is worse

[verbal crown]

“It’s a deal breaker, doesn’t matter if it’s a beautiful 4:3 OLED screen on a device that can run literally everything through GameCube, some switch and windows games for under $200, 0.3 inches is going to break it for me”

[dusty pecan]

that's precisely why I always play anything under PS1, as well as NDS, on my MM rather than the steam deck! 😅 It looks so much better!

basically 480p at 2.8" makes old games appear modern and sharp compared to 480p at 3.5"

also I have to say I'm priviledged to have good vision because I play DS games with both screens at the same time on the MM

just looks so sharp 😩

[languid sundial]

Well, I wouldnt want to play Switch games on RP Mini screen 😉

[verbal crown]

I wouldn’t play them on a 4 inch 4:3 either though

[languid sundial]

I envy your vision sir!

[sand blade]

Arguably I’d play them on that screen more than any other 4:3 screen, since it’s got integer scaling with 1x handheld mode (for any of the games that run at 1x handheld on that device, of course).

[languid sundial]

that's true lol, me neither

[languid sundial]

I wouldnt play most of Switch games at all on the current 4:3 screens we have, they are just too small

[sand blade]

But yeah, in general I usually prefer 4:3 games on the Mini, with 16:9 being either a novelty at best, or because I’m just not bothered by playing that game in question on the screen.

[languid sundial]

I mean I could technically play them but would it be a pleasent experience, I dont think so

(its like playing psp on 3.5 inches)

[sand blade]

Eh, it’s at least more pleasant than playing 240p or 480p games on the Powkiddy V10 or RG351P, since the non-integer scaling for 320p just gets you this kind of stuff.

I love Wide-Eyed Frisk, best laugh I’ve ever had from any issue related to integer scaling.

[languid sundial]

ouch

[sand blade]

Yeah, it’s why I personally have high-resolution as a higher priority than screen size for what I prefer, since the logic of “a higher resolution will make non-integer scaling less of an issue” also works in reverse, where a low enough resolution will make non-integer scaling a nightmare.

[sand blade]

Like, obviously this doesn’t matter as much in the 960p vs 720p debate, and arguably not even the 768p vs 480p debate (since 480p is still pretty decent for the games the 480p devices can play), but it’s something I still usually keep in mind.

[haughty dune]

I have an 40XXh (480p) and a 406v (720p), and despite the 406 being a perfect integer scale if I put even a mild crt or handheld shader on I can't even tell the difference between them if not for the color saturation.
Even with the Mega Man life-bar test I need two pairs of glasses to see it.

[round ridge]

Mega man life-bar test is overrated imo. Scaling issue is more annoying when it comes to text in games. 640x480 performs really bad when it comes to GB/GBA games that are text heavy.

I don't think that the flip uses 640x480 3.5" screen is a problem per se. It's just that 35xxsp is readily available for quite a while, and that 1024x768 3.2" screen is a thing now.

[subtle shoal]

you mean higher resolution is better for old consoles?

Can someone explain in simple words

[round ridge]

It's hard to capture the blurry text edges with a phone camera, but it is definitely noticeable and it is something you look at all the time for games like jrpgs.

Higher resolution just makes the blurry text edges or uneven pixels much less noticeable. Personally I actually had never really cared about these issues, until I started to play a lot of text heavy games.

[wanton kraken]

Brick spotted

[subtle mango]

Are the scaling nerds going at it again?

[sand blade]

Honestly, I’m sad I didn’t get to drop this when people were saying that the customer support was incorrect and that their measurements of an indirect image were more accurate.

[lilac heart]

https://github.com/steward-fu/website/releases/tag/miyoo-flip

[sand blade]

…Does he work with Miyoo?

If so, holy shit I didn’t know that.

[opaque breach]

He did develop some software utilities for Miyoo

I think that includes the FFplay app and dependencies?

[opaque breach]

And I think the Pygame port?

[night raven]

Guys what are your thoughts, is it a 3.2 or 3.5 inch screen?

[coarse tulip]

One things for sure, it could be either of those.

[night raven]

It triggers me that this guy couldn't take 10 seconds to push the d-pad and buttons so we could hear the sound

[opaque breach]

Well, they DID say it would launch in whatever month they were told to so it was justified to not trust them

[sand blade]

Yes, but my point was that people were predicting the exact screen size based on literal pictures alone, and “coincidentally” all of those guesses were the exact size that would match the higher resolution 3.2” screen that is also the only 3.2” 4:3 screen we currently know about.

Unless Miyoo team actually was cooking this up with the Trimui team (in which whatever deal they got with the screen devs for the Brick could also go to the Flip), I don’t think they would ditch the 3.5” screens they planned on using (especially when they’re already likely using the screens from the MM+) just to use a brand new screen that may potentially cost more.

[opaque breach]

Well at least the SOC is absolutely not a mystery anymore

[verbal crown]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

I truly wanted to believe based on the pixels

I don't know that it was so much predicting as doing anything to pass the time tbh. This has been a VERY long time in the making and seeing real images makes people rabid

https://tenor.com/view/explain-plan-theory-crazy-insane-gif-22079506

[past walrus]

This DTS at least shows 640x480. I don't know if the dimensions are correct. 68- width 121-height 👀 It does have a lid switch and Bluetooth/5g WiFi

[haughty dune]

You have better eyes than me then. I booted up a Yu-Gi-Oh game (lots of small text) and put on three pairs of glasses (my low medium and hi-power) and I still couldn't tell the difference with the "dot" shader on.
Maybe that particular shader is just that good (Tech Dweeb did rate it as the best one for handhelds).

[teal peak]

I don't understand. Are you saying that Miyoo would need to go through TrimUI to get that screen? Even PowKiddy has access to the same 3.2" screen.

[obsidian vessel]

Guys is it 3.2 or 3.5?

[tacit lava]

it's at least 1.5 inches im confident of that

3127cat

[verbal crown]

3.5 final answer

If it's 3.2 I have to buy one

[tacit lava]

we should start betting on the odds

[verbal crown]

And my wallet is empty

[tacit lava]

joesad~1

[serene raft]

https://steward-fu.github.io/website/index.htm#miyoo-flip

[opaque breach]

Still not the final answer on screen size

I mean

They could have easily swapped out something

Or used a 768px screen to display 480px content - it's not the first time some handheld did that

I only believe it when I own it

/s

[frigid arrow]

Dimensions are interesting, compared to the 35xxSP's 89x85x27

[opaque breach]

If that's the way the assembly is like, we may worry less about wearing out the buttons than with the Anbernic

Sticks are most likely clickable

[sand blade]

…No, I’m saying that unless Trimui already has a deal worked out with the provider to get those 3.2” screens for cheaper and they decided to use them, they wouldn’t just abandon the 3.5” screens they’re already planning to use.

[sand blade]

Oh well that’s literally how the original GBA SP handled its buttons, I’m honestly shocked Miyoo did it that perfectly.

[round ridge]

Dot shader is good indeed for hiding scaling imperfections but it significantly reduces brightness which can be a problem on screens that aren't bright to begin with.

[dawn stream]

making things blurry is basically what bilinear does. But IIRC the idea of bilinear as a replacement for integer scaling is to run a pixelation shared AFTER bilinear. I never really bought it tbh. Maybe if the goal is to make the Megaman X health bar look good, but it's just not the same. However, here's how the bilinear would look after re-pixelating it

For better or worse it is more pixelated lol

Yeah I think I will start using text as an example why you need integer scaling haha

[opaque breach]

And I still don't know definitely whether the new color SKUs of the Anbernic SP has the correct button design

[haughty dune]

This is true, though I've yet to see it make a game look as dark as it did on the original hardware.

[sand blade]

I mean, if you’re talking about Gameboy games, it’s kind of difficult to make something darker than the screen with no backlight.

[opaque breach]

There might be a solution

Maybe add a glare shader on top of that?

The thing is, a dark Game Boy display can be rather bright under sunlight

You really need something that can change the "brightness effect" on the Game Boy display instantly. It's different from changing the actual handheld's display brightness.

If you change the Gambatte palette to "internal - pixelshift pack", L2 and R2 switches between palettes in the "pack", but if the palette is set to "external", the palette is one that has the same name as the game. I wish we could use a palette pack as well, and use L2 and R2 to switch between them

If that works, we can have more customization options

[loud mantle]

I'm sorry but any thought that this ISN'T a 3.5" 480p is just copium at this point.

[wanton kraken]

480p is so disappointing compared to what's available

[winged bear]

the 3,2 inch screen would be the only way to sell this to someone who has an xxsp

[tranquil citrus]

true

[coral ether]

I’ll take it either way man

GBA SP size is perfect

[verbal crown]

As long as the buttons are better than the xxsp I imagine it will do okay.

[umbral pendant]

Disagree, but most people won't care about the minor details or chip and software preferences.

[tranquil night]

havent lurked this thread in months lol they're finally releasing it?

[dawn stream]

No.

I mean, we have more videos but still no release date on sight

Maybe tomorrow, maybe next year. lol

[shadow star]

Definitely soon going by all these videos

[obsidian vessel]

Who’s ordering day 1?

I don’t think I will. Waited this long I can wait a little longer for prices to drop and cfw to be developed

[opaque breach]

3.5 is the minimum I can take

Why not 4" 960x720

With that it's perfect 4x GBA

3.2" 1024x768 is less than 3" perfect GBA with the same pixel count

[lilac heart]

Clickable joysticks!

[tranquil citrus]

That's quite the suprise

[sand blade]

Not to someone who’s already got a cracked hinge.

By that point, they’ve got until I know for sure that the revised SP versions are the only option, to get me interested in the Flip. And frankly, they’ve already got my interest with the unironically way better designed buttons.

[sand blade]

Oh I’m definitely waiting, I already don’t expect to get the exact color I want due to limited availability that’s usually occurred with Miyoo stuff, why not wait until choice day to get what I want at a cheaper price?

[timber spindle]

has official specs been revealed

exvcept for 3566

[amber plaza]

Everyone going '3.5 inches?' here's me hoping for an actual mini flip with the v4 screen for perfect GBA integer

[tranquil citrus]

don't think it's that small

[amber plaza]

A girl can dream

[zinc juniper]

Steward confirmed it's 3.5in 480p screen, see #1101304832276562012 message

wouldve been cool to have the 3.2" 768p screen or somethin higher PPI, maybe next year

[opaque breach]

I'd prefer a slightly bigger screen

So this is enough

[feral marsh]

weird that all the images look like the screen's smaller than 3.5"

[fast lantern]

I think it's because the bezel and the outer frame is smaller and thinner

If it's really 3.5 they're probably using the screen from the miyoo mini plus

[dusty pecan]

n-no baby it's bigger than it looks like in pictures I swear 👉👈 😓

[oblique pendant]

Yeah I'd assume it really is 3.5" just by virtue of the fact that they'd have absolutely no shortage of those due to the MMP already being so successful

Thinking on it, this the first clamshell retro handheld to feature proper analogue sticks?

I wouldn't call the Ayaneo Flip or GPD Win Mini retro handhelds btw

And the Retroid Flip had analogue sliders, not sticks

[modest surge]

Yeah and Ali shop is already halfway confirming it lol. Just a better chance they’re telling the truth rather than not

[rotund ember]

Can't remember what sticks Powkiddy X18/X18s had, but they did have sticks

[oblique pendant]

Oh interesting

I didn't even know that system existed

The reason why they caught my eye is because I've been thinking a lot about how my ideal handheld would be built

I'd like something with a similar form factor to the PSP Go, but bigger

And one of the main complications with a design like that is the analogue sticks

[tiny hamlet]

After receiving my brick and learning this is 480p, I'm passing. Now that I have that DPI and not having to worry about things like Interger scaling anymore, it's almost impossible to go back. Even the cubeXX with it's 720p screen has lost some of it's luster now that the Brick's screen has wowed me.

[pale gyro]

What is up Flip Fam? Do we have a release date for this yet?

[verbal crown]

Nope, just more speculation

[pale gyro]

Thanks. Was hoping for a release this year.

[verbal crown]

Might late this month or maybe next December, we just don’t know lol

With it being shown off so much it’s probably sooner rather than later, but I’ve been burned here before

[amber plaza]

if it's actual photos like these its usually less than 3 months away. Start worrying if we get videos of CN_Play showing gameplay, because that means it's never coming out

[verbal crown]

Didn't we get initial photos like a year ago?

[coarse tulip]

Still better than gameforce selling the ace and going fuck it we cancelled gameforce company itself

[frigid arrow]

That whole situation was...

[late field]

Haha the april fools were the ones who got fooled xD

[amber plaza]

GameForce bit off more than they could chew, didn't they?

[amber plaza]

This is called a 'recall'. E.g Ford Pinto

I'm hoping for a Miyoo Mini Flip Mini - the Flip with the screen and guts of a Mini. Miyoo you can have this idea for free if you release it

[oblique pendant]

In fairness, the SoC of the Flip gives it a bit of N64 and Dreamcast emulation

[gusty latch]

Is there really any good reason to use that instead

I imagine this one is cheaper and more performant than whatever they used to use and the majority of the cost it would be comes from the fact that it's a clamshell

[rotund ember]

Yeah, the chip itself is less than 7 bucks when bought in batches IIRC

Of course there's extra added cost in new software (hello, still debugging) and I dunno, maybe the PCB is more involved than what SSD202D needed

[neat wedge]

Me wanting the inverse: a Mini or A30 with the RK3566

[dawn stream]

It would be historic for Miyoo to recall the flip considering all the sort of things that have happeend in the retro handhelds space that didn't trigger a recall.

Like Powkiddy saying "Yeah, some the RGB30s we shipped were actual bombs but don't worry, we have changed suppliers"

[sand blade]

I’m still baffled on how people barely even talked about that with the RGB30, but the RG35XX SP is what got even Russ and other reviewers to acknowledge this stuff (and that was literally only 2 confirmed incidents that were directly due to manufacturing defects).

[proven adder]

a store has told me - tentatively they will have samples of the flip late Dec

[round ridge]

Powkiddy used to ask us to accept their device's shortcomings.

Big improvement already

[verbal crown]

Samples to send out to reviewers? Nice

[rotund ember]

Not aware of the story — did these actually blow up, or did you get a spicy pillow?

Because if it's the latter, I think you can find similar examples for most of the popular low-tier handhelds

Hell, someone on Reddit posted a Win600 with a spicy pillow the other day

[sand blade]

From what I can tell, the issue was present more domestic, but you essentially had those 2 incidents with the SP’s happening a good bit more often, directly because Powkiddy somehow managed to use the wrong spec battery for their own device.

[rotund ember]

So did they actually catch on fire?

[sand blade]

I can’t find the domestic ones I remember (so I won’t make a hard claim that they were catching fire until I can find that), but I did find multiple moments of the better case scenarios in that batteries were dying and bloating within around 2 days, and some noting that the batteries would emit a faint almost sweet smell (which even a bloated battery shouldn’t be doing unless there’s an opening).

And note that the RGB30 doesn’t even have any of the proper implementations for C-to-C charging with a PD-Compliant port, so the literal only way you can charge the thing was either A-to-C or with a non-compliant PD Brick that would charge literally anything regardless.

Just remember it probably won’t be available on release 😅

Sure, but even without Onion we should have Rocknik and the others 3566 CFW nearly from the start anyway

My draw was on the picture alone, it looks so nice and pocketable ✨

my only worry is about the dpad and face buttons, they looks tiny compared to OG Miyoo's ones

I think only RGB30 for some reason

Ah, my bad. I remember it being mentioned on their homepage, didn't remember they specifically said it's not supported

I wonder if actual Bacotera can be ported to RK3566 or not in that case

RK3566 is mainlined

[rotund ember]

Batocera itself supports the RGxx3 line

[somber bone]

there's also already ArkOS and Rocknix for RK3566 devices. an ES distro for everyone

[opaque breach]

no love for recalbox

[serene raft]

Isn't the stock linux firmware of those devices based on a really old version of batocera or something?

[rotund ember]

Yeah, it‘s the Anbernic fork

But since a version or two Batocera supports them too, they‘re on the download page

Everything but the Arc IIRC

[serene raft]

What's the arc's stock fw like?

Also an old batocera?

[rotund ember]

Yeah, but the UI is a bit different, kinda like the stock xx one

Then you just end up in regular ES + standalone emulators

Haven‘t used it much though

[timber spindle]

i thought onion was dead

[oblique pendant]

Nah, it's still getting decently regular updates

[timber spindle]

do we have official specs for this device? from what i gather, its:
3.5 640x480 (eww)
dual Vita sticks that my made clickable somehow
rk3566
1gb ram

[burnt crag]

Hope they consider some transparent shells eventually

[oblique pendant]

Hard to say

Just because 35XX SPs have had serious issues with hinges cracking on transparent models

I hope there's a pink version somewhere down the road

[rotund ember]

that just means they get to sell more handhelds, everybody wins ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[night raven]

I'm tired b0ss...

[lament idol]

I haven’t seen more than like 5 hinge breaks, it also happened to the opaque models as well

[proven adder]

I put the word in for it

it all depends on sales I believe

[lament idol]

The SP is one of the few models that’s come out recently that I know of that had new colors made for it because of it’s popularity

I don’t include The Brick because the red and purple were definitely planned from the beginning

[opaque breach]

Anbernic's promotion focused on the pin/pivot rather the the supporting plastics right

[lament idol]

Yeah, I don’t think Anbernic’s plastic’s have been ever known for being that sturdy

Supposedly what I heard from Chris at Retroid, he never had to fix a transparent red Flip, he thinks (and I agree) that transparent Retroid plastic might be sturdier than the opaque

I’ve also never seen a cracked transparent 2S

[hollow lagoon]

A little birdy tells me that one of the major spruce devs has a Miyoo Flip in his possession…

[coarse tulip]

I heard the hinge isn't great
Very crunchy lol

[opaque breach]

Do Spruce and Onion have major UX design differences? I don't have an A30 so I can't really compare and they are both using the stock OS elements as basis anyway

[coarse tulip]

Sort of. We have differences in design approaches. Spruce's themeing is more minimalist than Onion's. But the layout and basic functionality are built off Miyoo's MainUI for both.

[lament idol]

There’s no such thing as a indestructible console either. It all depends on how well the console is built and how well it’s maintained/taken care of. 3DS hinges (depending on the model) and a lot of Gameboy SP hinges are known to last for most people pretty well

the DS Lite is a lot more durable than the phat DS, which had the hinges all break in the same place

Shame the phat DS reshells are all kinda terrible

[lament idol]

DS lite had issues too, but later models of it I’m pretty sure is when they started getting good at it. By 3DS it was a a great design, but from what I’ve seen hard to take apart and assemble again

Most issues on 3DS hinges I heard were on the 3DS XL

[fast lantern]

It's definitely gonna take off, people from the GBA modding community is gonna go crazy for it

I mainly play GBA and honestly this is making reconsider skipping the flip

[amber plaza]

It's because the screen is too big for the shell. It looks disproportionate

Many people are saying this

[fast lantern]

It does look weird in the video because the screen is off but with some overlay it'll look very natural

What's drawing me is is actually the hand feel.

And the screen is just a nice bonus

If miyoo nails the form factor and the buttons it might still turn it around for me

[tranquil citrus]

[verbal crown]

I think the 3:2 perfect ratio is the only thing that would be acceptable here, in a literal gba clone, but I do also agree that something seems off about the sizing of the shell relative to the screen

[lament idol]

I’m hoping the Miyoo Flip is good, I’m gonna buy a 35xx sp for one of my friends, and I’ll try it out to see if I like it, I’ll wait on reviews for the MM Flip to see if I’ll get it or not

[somber bone]

Lmao another Miyoo release overshadowed by Anbernic

[night raven]

That's a very tasty looking cake

[night raven]

It's not a clamshell and also having four buttons that are different sizes is weird

It's a GBA device

You don't need the other two..it's just there if you want it for something else

Main focus is the ab buttons

As another member said

Kinda sad this device is now on hands of a few peeps

4inch anbernic 406h screen

Give me that and we'll talk

[neat wedge]

Better reliability than Powkiddy's RK3566 stuff?

(Or at least GammaCore, heh)

[rotund ember]

Oh yeah, I wouldn't expect that from Miyoo

Well, maybe Flip V5 in 2027 will have that

[vast pasture]

OnionOS on this would solve world peace

[dusty pecan]

I need onion OS on the steam deck, let alone this

[tranquil citrus]

onion os dev needs to tell us the screen size

and resolution

it's been a debate for too long

[dusty pecan]

stewart already did, it's 3.5" 480p. the debate is fictional

[tranquil citrus]

oh, well I guess that was expected

but I still had just a tiny bit of hope it would be the brick screen

[coarse tulip]

lol, spruce has a flip, has ran some spruce code on it already, and picked it apart. ya'll just haters.

[vast pasture]

No one’s hating though?

[somber bone]

MENTIONING ONION’S NAME IS HATING

(I’m kidding)

[coarse tulip]

Sorry I can't hear any haters over the crunching when flexing the hinge of our premium Miyoo Flip 😎

[amber plaza]

I mean I'm probably going to buy this over the SP

[vast pasture]

Yep unless there is some fatal flaw I’m buying this device. If this got Onion it could be so amazing.

[timber spindle]

what screen does the miyoo flip have

640 confirmed

or still hoping for something sharper

[somber bone]

Confirmed

640x480

[timber spindle]

sigh

RIP Miyoo Mini Flip

you had so much potential

[coarse tulip]

I'm a bit dissapointed they went for clicky/dome keys. They are softer to push than the xxSP but I was hoping for membrane

[fast lantern]

Would the same rg 35xxsp button mod trick work for the flip as well?

[coarse tulip]

Does that help with softness? I thought that just helped muffle the sound. The Flip is much quieter than the xxSP

[dusk glen]

they feel more tactile than clicky after doing the tape mod on my SP

[visual reef]

As long as they are quieter. Was hoping they had a brick like feel.

[fast lantern]

Agree, as long as I can't hear it it won't bother me much.

[opaque breach]

Softer?

HEY!!!

[coarse tulip]

No, we got the one lol

[opaque breach]

Did you uh...
