Miyoo Mini FLIP - A smaller Miyoo Flip

[stiff ether]

Correct, no Snap. Smooth like Butter. It will hold into position, but it doesn't "Snap" like that Flip V2

[rain nacelle]

I would imagine the "snap" was a huge reason for why the plastic would break in the first place

So hopefully there's nothing to worry about

[ebon moat]

The snap wasn't bad... it's when it starts to crackle and pop...😂

[remote rapids]

Mine is in the US now. Thinking I might get it Saturday or so

[stiff ether]

Gratz Fred, can't wait

[remote rapids]

I have no idea what color they sent either which is exciting I'm glad they didn't tell me it's going to be fun opening it

[stiff ether]

Do we get a Live Unboxing & Reaction section? That would be awesome ❤️

[haughty steppe]

so you're going to be the first reviewer? o.o

[stiff ether]

Wouldn't be the first time Fred was First on the scene with a Review of something

Some spanish Youtuber got one already. The hinge sounds much quieter than on the regular flip

[narrow pawn]

I don't know if id rather buy this or the RG DS

[clever lotus]

well somebody is excited

[midnight hull]

Techdweebs love for the original Miyoo Mini is infamous so I’m not surprised he loves this.

[whole venture]

I hope there’s something wrong with this so I don’t have to buy it

[grim beacon]

Read this in his voice

[woeful tinsel]

Feeling this way about so many devices. Give me one fatal flaw, pls.

No headphone jack might actually be it.

[clever lotus]

I had already written this off so I'm very concerned now

[acoustic sorrel]

Maybe it'll be the price, who knows

[gusty flume]

This thing looks fucking adorable

[left urchin]

It really is

[gusty flume]

I'm convinced

I might buy one

[blazing brook]

really just hit the :P

[gusty flume]

It happi

[runic bane]

Or gums

[river ferry]

😛

[narrow pawn]

Has anyone gotten the measurements on this thing yet

[river ferry]

litel

[narrow pawn]

Hopefully little enough

I kinda wish someone would make a band for it

make it into that retro watch project we never got

[misty shore]

freedom units because that's all I have handy lol.

slightly below 2 5/8 in wide
slightly above 2 5/8 in long when closed
15/16 in thick when closed

4 7/8 in long when open
bottom half 11/16 in thick when open
top half 1/4 in thick when open

basically the bottom half is almost exactly the same width and thickness as the MM v4

but the mini flip feels more comfortable to hold because there is more of a chin below the controls, so it feels less like you're supporting it all on the tips of your fingers. You get more of a grip

[left urchin]

66.5mm wide
67.8mm long
24.3mm thick closed

126.4mm long open
Bottom is 17mm thick
Top is 7.4mm thick

https://tenor.com/view/to-the-metric-system-sheldon-cooper-the-big-bang-theory-gif-27319421

And digital calipers 🍻

[misty shore]

yeah I was using a 16 ft tape measure, definitely not the right tool for the job haha

[stiff ether]

The release time of Miyoo mini flip is set at 20:00 (Pacific Time) on October 19th.The first batch will only be sold on our official website.
Official website:https://lomiyoo.com/

[echo seal]

$20 shipping to the US, i'll wait for aliexpress

[stiff ether]

First Batch will be only on their website

Second batch will be on AliExpress

200 units (Aprox~) for initial batch. Choice is yours

[left urchin]

I have a sneaking suspicion that mini flip stock alerts are gonna be a thing like with the regular mini for a while

It’s gonna be tough to get one for a bit

[potent tide]

Boooo they’re taking a page out of magicx’s book

[left urchin]

Huh? I don’t remember 8 device announcements with full renders and hardware specs released to only end up canceling the ones people liked and then swapping out the chips for knock offs

[potent tide]

No just the $20 shipping thing

[left urchin]

I’m just giving magicx shit lol

[potent tide]

Too much imo, even if the total price in the end is the same. Most people see a high shipping cost like that and get put off, whereas if the product was $10 more and the shipping was $10 less it would appear to be a better deal

[rain nacelle]

Yeah I'm definitely waiting for it to drop on AE lol

Since chances are, I'd have to also pay VAT on top of the base price along with shipping

[mild onyx]

Lol 4am UK time and only ~200 units. Yeah I'll be waiting for AliExpress too by the looks of it.

[narrow pawn]

200 units. Gives Miyoo mini V2 stock flash backs. Where it was sold out after 5 minutes

[brisk sand]

i don't like miyoo's hype strategy

oh it sold out, i gotta buy it if i find it

[reef marlin]

isnt it more so that theyre a smaller operation and thus cant crank em out like anbernic

[reef marlin]

this is reddit mentality, no one is forcing it

[stiff ether]

they also need more metrics, how fast will 200 units sell out? they need that info to produce a 2nd batch

[rain nacelle]

What Kyoka means is that that's what he assumes Miyoo wants the consumer to feel

At least that's what I got

[brisk sand]

yeah

[rain nacelle]

Miyoo definitely have the means to make more than 200 units in one batch lol

[stiff ether]

miyoo is def a much smaller company, but they need to know they are going to recover all of their investments

[reef marlin]

idk kitfox's point makes the most sense, no company wants to just sit on unsold inventory

[rain nacelle]

Also, unless they make an uneven amount of units per colour, they're only gonna be selling 50 of each colour

[stiff ether]

dont tell my wife, she will call you a liar

[brisk sand]

making 200 and having unsold inventory makes the whole project not make any sense if that can happen

[reef marlin]

based on how they batched the og mini they absolutely do produce uneven amounts of each color lol

[rain nacelle]

Actually yeah I realise how dumb what I said was

[brisk sand]

but just from aliexpress sales numbers on any random model, you can see they all sell thousands easily

[reef marlin]

maybe we successfully gaslit them into being worried about their hinge even tho it seems like they sassed tenlevels a lot about it lolol

analogue is far more egregious in the artificial stock throttling, it's in their business model

i like to imagine miyoo is a cute team of 5 trying their bestestest

[brisk sand]

yeah that's the most blatant in the hobby

highly limited units of new colors available

[ebon moat]

I don't think we know that for sure. They didn't state 200 total or 200 of each color... just 200...

Also from what I saw, the mention of 200 was based on taobao. That platform is getting 200 units... I didn't see a statement saying how many would be on their official page?

[wide crescent]

how is miyoo always able to produce such good bezels on their devices yet other cheap companies fail to do the same?

[ebon moat]

and yet fail at hinges, while others got it right on the first try?

now one thing for sure that miyoo always gets right now, their buttons... miyoo v4, miyoo plus, and miyoo flip all have amazing buttons

[rain nacelle]

Small bezels are just easier to achieve on vertical handhelds

[torpid shard]

No transparent blue - no purchase 💙

[rain nacelle]

Cya

[torpid shard]

But the black one is a bit tempting

[stiff ether]

Miyoo has Priorities

Having a Functional Hinge must have been low on that list

[wide crescent]

truee

[hoary cave]

Hopefully this gets full onion support

[wide crescent]

I wonder what the cost of this thing will be

[brisk sand]

better be 50 bucks max

[wide crescent]

do we know the dimensions yet?

I wanna compare it's size to competitor tiny handhelds

[brisk sand]

it's like a shorter miyoo mini

thicker of course

[misty shore]

check pins

[wide crescent]

oh wow, thickness aside actually smaller than the gkd pixel 2

[brisk sand]

i hate miyoo so much for not including a headphone jack, this would have been a no brainer for me

been tempted by the gkd pixel 2 for ages and this has a bigger screen even

[wide crescent]

ur gonna listen to music on such a tiny device?

[brisk sand]

no, just makes no sense to play out of the speaker on very portable devices

playing without sound is not an option, that's like half the enjoyment of retro games for me

[wide crescent]

there's a chance speakers could be okay-ish

[misty shore]

Onion team's got units on the way. Not sure what their plans are as far as support, but they shouldn't have too much work to do, relatively. I swapped in an Onion card from my v4 and it worked right away. Just some occasional visual bugs and no hinge support. But like, most features work and the games play.

[wide crescent]

does it come with bluetooth?

[brisk sand]

doesn't seem like it, mm+ had wifi but no bluetooth

[misty shore]

Koriki and Allium also already have the device in hand and are already working on support

[wide crescent]

so the only way to play music out of it is with a pesky adapter?

[brisk sand]

so it seems

i really hate usb c adapters, the plug is too big and long to use it in a pocket

[wide crescent]

no headphone jack and no bluetooth is a really bad combination

[lime atlas]

Have they gave the price?

[ebon moat]

like a static effect when launching a game and when turning on the device?

[misty shore]

the screenshots in the game switcher get funky, that's one thing I remember

[ebon moat]

yeah that too

[misty shore]

but yeah it does seem like some applications don't detect the screen resolution correctly

[ebon moat]

all 3 of those things are bugs that only effect the v4

[misty shore]

wrong timing or something

[ebon moat]

because the resolution on the v4 is 750x560 instead of 640x480

[misty shore]

yup

so it's like Onion has a hard time telling it's the v4 screen and not a mini plus

or smth like that

[foggy mica]

will it cost sub $30?

[ebon moat]

I fixed a few of those visual bugs by modifying my themes images and changing their size to 750x560 instead of 640x480

[misty shore]

not a chance

[foggy mica]

i dont mind a shitty hinge at $30

anything above, i'll skip it

[ebon moat]

obviously that makes it work in the v4... and will break the v1-v3

[misty shore]

hinge feels pretty good so far

[wide crescent]

why would it be sub 30?

[foggy mica]

coz miyoo mini was $30 and what made it popular

also we can buy a ton of them for presents for the upcoming holidays

[ebon moat]

however the image problem on the game switcher would require more work.. the screenshot taken needs to be modified to use the new resolution... probably requires modifying the code for it?

[wide crescent]

are u sure that's not like a tiktok price?

[foggy mica]

im sure when it launched years ago, it was sub 30

[brisk sand]

no, not at all

[foggy mica]

covid era

[ebon moat]

not at first... only on a good sale price

[brisk sand]

it was actually scalped to hell because they were rare

[ebon moat]

I got my v4 for $32 for example... but like 3 months ago

[worldly crag]

Yeah I wish i've never seen it that cheap even with coupon stacking

[foggy mica]

i won't be comfortable paying more than $30 for their shitty hinge

it will break and i dont expect any warranty so fuck it

[worldly crag]

Ive got good news the temptation wont be there

[brisk sand]

i paid around 30 for a v4 too, but that's the only time where the miyoo mini not plus has been cheap

[ebon moat]

the hinge on the mini is actually nice though, lol

[foggy mica]

no lol, it will become floppy sooner or later

[misty shore]

ok. later!

[wide crescent]

and yet I still see people on facebook marketplace selling their minis for 60 dollars

[stiff ether]

The same Speaker Mod from OG MM/MM+ works on this device btw. Tenlevels confirmed it already

[grim beacon]

Yeah I mean it’s not like the device they are copying had a headphone jack or anything.

I kid though, I’ve not once used headphones with one of these devices so I can’t relate. That genuinely sucks for those who do use headphones. I believe it comes with an adapter at least.

At least the promo video showed both a headphone and charging icon when showing the usbc port

[misty shore]

yeah it comes with their little proprietary usb-c to 3.5mm trs adapter

I haven't tried it at all tbh

[misty shore]

oooh, I wish they would have copied the analog volume wheel while they were at it

[grim beacon]

Eh, I don’t mind the buttons

[brazen dome]

whats gonna be the best way to buy this? They dont do amazon do they?

[wide crescent]

soo that means uhh.. servicable?

[stiff ether]

It means you can buy the Mod from AliExpress or Etsy the same way you would with a MM. And upgrade the speaker

[mild onyx]

#1372499987606405171 message

[brazen dome]

thank you, perfect answer, kudos!

[rain nacelle]

I actually don't hate the MM speaker

But I'm curious about this speaker mod

[wide crescent]

I mean with the mod

[runic bane]

ya i wish it had a headphone jack, but if the adapter is small and works then ill deal with it. I would also like the volume wheel. I am not a fan of everything in software cause sometimes you want no sound at all and with the analog wheel, you know its silent.

[stiff ether]

https://youtu.be/XAY60H7Gy2g?si=X-N149s66oRSflwa

[reef marlin]

this is full cap

was a smidge cheaper avoiding keepretro but they had inventory after the initial xmas season hype that was mainly just a taki vid in this niche-ass hobby

[vagrant matrix]

Joey’s newscast video says $52.99 early bird, $59.99 retail

[wide crescent]

russ in the video literally says he can barely tell the difference

are u talking about a better speaker mod than showcased?

[grim beacon]

Iirc there were 2 different drop in speaker upgrades. One that made a marginal difference and one that was more significant. When I tried it with my units I did notice the difference.

And I made sure to get the “better” option

Was a PITA to track down too

No. 15 on this listing should be the right one I think.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32824586474.html

[dusty eagle]

Excited to mess around with this device. My dev. unit should be here in the next couple days.

Wifi and out of the box compatibility with Onion OS is pretty sweet.

[runic bane]

can you test the usb headphone adapter please? and compare to a v90 if you have one please?

[visual basalt]

no price on this yet?

[stiff ether]

#1372499987606405171 message

[visual basalt]

damn

with 20 dollar shipping?

thats terrible ngl

[worldly crag]

oof I just paid $89USD for two off aliexpress on the last sale

and idk that probably wasnt even a good price

[reef marlin]

this was a mini v1 three years ago, i've bought a handful of mini pluses and mini v4s since for <$40, dw

[worldly crag]

ah fair missed the context

[haughty steppe]

So the sale starts at 5 am my time on Monday... And there will be only 200 units?
Yeah, I don't think there is a big chance I get this before it releases on AE

[worldly crag]

its miyoo they always do this few hundred of each color in batches
might miss the first run but they're usually pretty fast to restock in recent runs

[haughty steppe]

yeah? I'd like to have this sooner rather than later so during my free time at the job I can squeeze in some game time inconspicuously 😛

[sharp mica]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1SlURcBwuY&t

[narrow pawn]

Anyone else kind of wish they used the same screen as the brick for this. That would have been so good

[stiff ether]

Next device, Miyoo 321 is what the code name is

https://discord.com/channels/741895796315914271/1295506599703740427

[red merlin]

Now that is one ugly device. Which is surprising as I usually find Miyoo designs charming.

I think it’s the sticks lol

[stiff ether]

I have seen so many devices be vertical with sticks, it doesn't bother me

It's the text they used for the lettering on the buttons. Bad call

[red merlin]

Haha yeah for sure, hopefully it’s just an early render

[brisk sand]

i just really don't see the point of it, what does it bring to the table exactly?

[blazing brook]

good question

[narrow pawn]

Anyone know what a good custom firmware for this device is besides onion os

[brisk sand]

it's not even out

[mild onyx]

God dammit this Tech Dweeb video is making me wanna set my alarm for 4am and try to get one in the first batch

[river ferry]

Miyoo 321 slander is not being accepted at this time. Please check back later.

[potent tide]

On the one hand it looks ugly, but on the other hand it looks very comfortable and nostalgic. GBC vibes for sure

[stiff ether]

MinUI, Allium, Koriki, Onion, DotUI (Maybe?), & Spruce

[blazing brook]

If MinUI gets support on this it's a wrap I ain't using nothing else

[stiff ether]

https://tenor.com/view/big-news-bullish-bullish-af-crypto-fantastic-gif-16753036148370554223

[blazing brook]

MinUI with hinge sleep? It's peak

[stiff ether]

Can Confirm

[blazing brook]

LETS GOOOO

My endgame clamshell is finally real 🥹

[austere ginkgo]

Not for me. I had a MM v4 and the screen was OK despite the lack of software support. By contrast, I had one Brick and one Hammer and both had a lot of light bleed. IMI, the Brick’s screen sucks.

[brisk flare]

just got to the hinge comparison part and your Flips sound like this???

mine has snapping sounds but it's nowhere near as creaky nor scratchy

[wide crescent]

doesn't have either bluetooth or headphone jack

[clever lotus]

same except it'll be 5am for me

[drowsy rain]

Do we know what time it's going live?

[drowsy rain]

https://tenor.com/view/omg-oh-my-god-crypto-eth-ethereum-gif-17535687605930952128

[brisk flare]

what's the price

[ebon moat]

$52 early bird price $59 normal price

[brisk flare]

hm feels a bit expensive

I paid 53 USD for my Flip 2

would have hoped for this to be ~40

[ebon moat]

The flip was $80 when it launched... It will go down in the future once it is older.

[clever lotus]

or not if it's not a flop

[austere ginkgo]

I really would have preordered it immediately if the MagicX One 35 didn’t show at the same time : a clam MM with Wifi and a bit more comfortable to hold is just so great ! 🔥

But the MagicX, same price, is so much versatile and opens so many more possibilities when it comes to retro stuff 👾. Plus they designed a super recessed stick to keep it pocketable enough.

[ebon moat]

Actually I think being a flop makes the price go down faster, lol.

[clever lotus]

the miyoo mini didn't flinch much in price in its first couple years of life

it's only the other miyoo releases that didn't sell as well that went down in price relatively quickly

[blazing brook]

Don't need em 👍

[brisk sand]

🗿

[wide crescent]

ur probably gonna be using this thing outside your home so I feel like you don't want to bother passengers near you

well that if if ur gonna be hearing it well to begin with

[blazing brook]

I don't really need audio when I'm out and about

It is my endgame clamshell

Super portable, MinUI with hinge sleep, I'm set

[terse helm]

I don't mind using a usb c to aux adapter, the dacs built into these devices are always crap anyways

seeing as my phone doesn't have a headphone jack either, the adapter just lives on the end of my headphones

[worldly crag]

well I think im going to wait on this one shoppify is so dogshit id rather just wait till its on aliexpress

[brisk sand]

for me retro game music is like half the enjoyment if not more

[blazing brook]

I love the music too which is why I'll blast it at home but my EDC is just there to whip out if I have a few minutes to kill so audio isn't all that important to me in that specific case, but everyone's different

[daring arrow]

I'm interested in this mainly because of how boxy it looks

[solemn thicket]

its very cute

[limber gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/thirsty-spongebob-i-dont-need-it-sweat-gif-5031443

Right when I think i found my end game small retro handheld

[fathom kraken]

you do need it, all 5 colors

they'll be neat on the shelves

[wide crescent]

My dream mini device is a trimui brick sp but I guess this is pretty close

[celest rampart]

I feel like the mini flip lost some of its charm compared to just the mini.

[visual basalt]

i disagree

i love this lil guy

i was skeptical of the price but that techdweeb video really made me wanna get it lol

def wanna get this in snes gray

[daring arrow]

What are the specs on this

Is it just what's in the Miyoo Mini?

[visual basalt]

same as the og miyoo mini

[daring arrow]

hmm

I don't know how well I can go back to a device without interpolation shaders

I'm so used to having at least sharp bilinear on everything

since the og miyoo didnt have a gpu

[foggy mica]

what are they smoking?

[visual basalt]

nothing

because it can do a 3x integer scale of gba

[foggy mica]

why even bother saying that if its not full screen integer scaling

marketing bullsht

[visual basalt]

ok buddy

[wide crescent]

oh no, whatever will I do with gba being 0.1 inches smaller than the screen allows it to be

[visual basalt]

this guy does nothing but complain

[wide crescent]

also I'm pretty sure other companies would have just put a bunch of bezel on a device like this, so by choosing miyoo and integerscaling gba ur not really loosing out on anything

[visual basalt]

fr the bezel on this is really nice looking tbh

[wide crescent]

if xu made a clamshell with the same dimensions it would have a 2.4 inch screen instead of a 2.8 inch one

[visual basalt]

about that....

[blazing brook]

im getting the black flip so that little black bar can be Schrodinger's Bezel

[visual basalt]

rk3188 💀

[blazing brook]

3x gba on a screen that small is gonna be sooooo crisp

[wide crescent]

What's funny about it? Is it like weaker than the h700?

[daring arrow]

a lot weaker

[visual basalt]

the h700 is almost on par with a rk3566 tbf

just a bit less so

[wide crescent]

yeah and if for whatever reason u wanna play home console games the ppi is good enough for you to not see issues with distortions with uneven scaling

[daring arrow]

the rk3188 is also like 8 years older than the h700 i believe

[visual basalt]

idk what they're smoking

atleast put an rk3326 in it

[wide crescent]

it might struggle with full ps1 library?

[visual basalt]

the mini flip or that xu handheld?

[wide crescent]

xu

[visual basalt]

most likely

[daring arrow]

the price is $30-38 tho i dunno

[visual basalt]

same price as an r36s

like cmon

[daring arrow]

yea the r36s is way stronger

[wide crescent]

putting a 640p screen in a handheld struggling with ps1 is certainly a choice...

[daring arrow]

kinda waste for a screen that decent

[wide crescent]

I guess they really wanma make it as cheap as possible

going too far

[daring arrow]

im thinking it's old and weak enough that it might struggle with SNES Yoshi's Island

[visual basalt]

i dont understand their thought process with that

they have the mini m thats 28 bucks with an rk3326

[wide crescent]

ah yes back to the ps vita emulation days

are they like hyperfocusing on making this a gba only device?

if that's their goal I guess it works?

[visual basalt]

like we dont have enough devices that are gba focused

i mean the gba is awesome but cmon

[wide crescent]

the rg34xxsp is only worth getting for gba, so I guess people would no longer need to but that

[wide crescent]

we only got one from anbernic that is a clamshell

[daring arrow]

I don't really agree with that

[visual basalt]

i dont really like 3:2 screens

[daring arrow]

3:2 is the most verstile aspect ratio so it's good for most things

[visual basalt]

1:1 tho

[wide crescent]

the miyoo flip and the rg35xxsp literally exist, and for anything other tham gba they are superior consoles

[visual basalt]

1:1 is wayyy more versatile than 3:2

[wide crescent]

no, because these are low resolution screens and we gotta work with integerscaling

[daring arrow]

Nah, I've always said go wider not taller

from 4:3

[visual basalt]

why does it matter where the bezels are

[blazing brook]

I gotta go with 1:1 on this

[daring arrow]

Anything that makes GBA look worse is out for me

[wide crescent]

I've brought up this bezeless 3.5 inch 960x640 design and instantly got shut down being told it would be an engineering nightmare when we literally see miyoo doing it in front of our eyes

[visual basalt]

gba looks the exact same on the cube-xx as it does on the 34xxsp

the exact same integer scale at the exact same size

[daring arrow]

I hella hate huge black bars on the top and bottom

[blazing brook]

slap an overlay on it

they make em for 1:1's that cover all of the black space with GBA

[daring arrow]

I've tried, doesn't work

[visual basalt]

what black bars?

i sure dont see any black bars

[wide crescent]

the other complaint was comfort which is strange cause I don't hear anyone whining about comfort with the miyoo mini flip cause it was literally not made for the purpose of being a comfort focused device.

[daring arrow]

Yea no thanks

Even tho it feels nice I don't use my Cube XX at all

[visual basalt]

its the only handheld that matters to me other than my steam deck rn

[blazing brook]

different strokes for different folks, cubeXX is my favorite h700 lol

[visual basalt]

steam deck for intensive emulation and the cube xx for everything else

[wide crescent]

are people really comfortable with sacrificing space in your pocket just for a little more comfort?

[daring arrow]

34XXSP is my everyday carry

[visual basalt]

the cube xx is my favorite budget handheld of all time lol

[visual basalt]

i know i am

and i have big pockets anyways

the cube xx fits in my pockets

[blazing brook]

for my EDC specifically, the more portable the better. I have the more ergonomic handhelds I play for longer at the house

[visual basalt]

and it is just so comfy

[daring arrow]

anbernic's best handheld for the xx line is easily the 34xx SP for me

nothing comes close

[wide crescent]

I've said it and I'll say it again, the gba sp shell needs to be fully filled, it has never been done before, a bigger size should have a bigger screen, we shouldn't make a bigger device just for the sake of comfort but leave the devive with a smaller screen

[visual basalt]

i had the 34xx-h and i returned it cuz the cube felt even better

and its dpad was bad

never tried the 34xxsp but i dont really need to

cuz the cube is just so damn good

[blazing brook]

it's SO good

[daring arrow]

I used to be ok with overlays but the more I use them, the less I want them

[blazing brook]

that's fair

[visual basalt]

to each their own i guess

more 1:1 for me

[blazing brook]

in my book it's a small sacrifice for the other systems I play on it looking gorgeous

it's my nightstand handheld, playing a little Mario's Picross before bed til I get sleepy

[daring arrow]

the only system that look nice to me on a 1:1 is GB, GBC and some vertical arcade

some say SNES but that's 100% a 4:3 system to me

[fierce sparrow]

GBA on a 1:1 is fantastic

[daring arrow]

again i hate the black bars and overlays

[fierce sparrow]

GBA on a 720x720 1:1 scales to 3x perfectly

[blazing brook]

you should try 8:7 overscale with NES/SNES/PCE, it only cuts off the pixels that the devs accounted for being cut off cuz of how CRTs are

[visual basalt]

perfection

[daring arrow]

it works for some games but not all

the not all part is what bothers me

[blazing brook]

I gotcha

[daring arrow]

especially rom hacks which don't account for the space

[visual basalt]

ive yet to run into a game that looked weird on the overscale

[daring arrow]

top of my head is Mario 3mix

[blazing brook]

rom hacks dont account for CRT overscan so I can see it

[daring arrow]

yea

[visual basalt]

yeah sure

i dont play any

[daring arrow]

the hud for that hack gets cut off

[daring arrow]

3mix, the hack

not 3

[visual basalt]

i know

but regular nes games look wonderful

[blazing brook]

yeah but it works because devs back then accounted for CRT overscan

[visual basalt]

and ngpc oml

so pretty

[blazing brook]

speaking of hacks I found a patch that fixes the horrendous washing on Super Mario Advance 2 SUper Mario World

brings it in line with SNES colors

[daring arrow]

there's some for a few GBA games

[blazing brook]

I get they had to brighten everything cuz no backlight back then but yeesh

[daring arrow]

most games don't actually need it if you use a GBA filter (my go to is NSO-GBA)

but SMW does need a patch

since it overbrightened the image

[visual basalt]

thats kinda cool

[blazing brook]

I usually turn off color correction and call it a day but sometimes it's not enough

[blazing brook]

it looks so much better, I can slide you a link if u want

[visual basalt]

i grew up with mario advance 2 over the og

so i might just keep it how it is for nostalgia's sake

[blazing brook]

a core memory growing up is me and my mom taking turns on Mario 3 GBA on the game boy player

that childhood gamecube's still kicking to this day lol

disc reader has seen better days but it reads just well enough to boot action replay and load swiss so

[visual basalt]

THIS was a core memory

i played the absolute shit out of this

[blazing brook]

best version of Mario Bros and it's not close (granted the competition wasn't very steep but still)

they even tossed it on Superstar Saga too lol

[visual basalt]

absolute classic

[wide crescent]

Why don't companies ever do the one on the right instead of the one on the left? Anbernic is already making custom screens for themselves and you can find screens around the same aspect ratio and size I've made here

https://www.panelook.com/TPA038-001_BSDT_3.8_CELL_overview_31618.html

[worldly crag]

sadly unviable screen

unless you want a front light SP clone

[stoic crescent]

when did anbernic make their own screen?

[wide crescent]

rg406h, and rg slide have custom screens

[worldly crag]

apparently some yt'r said it Joey? and it stuck
Its probably just an exclusive contract for some screen already in prod

[visual basalt]

and the 476h then too

[wide crescent]

it just grinds my gears, if you decrease the bezels on the 3.5 or 3.4 inch screens people will complain "eww it's uncomfortable" and if the shell stays the same size it's "too expensive"

[worldly crag]

bruh it literally has NO BACKLIGHT

[wide crescent]

I'm refering to the custom screen option, unless making a custom screen is more expensive than getting the lg wing screen

[worldly crag]

it is yes

[wide crescent]

then problem solved, rp classic sp, now everyone's happy

[worldly crag]

modifying existant panels is +$500-1000 surcharge one time
new panels are 1-5 millions upfront

[wide crescent]

a clamshell with the wing screen and small bezels will remain roughly the same size as an og gba sp

which is what everyone wants apparently instead of a tiny clamshell

[visual basalt]

id love an rp classic sp tbh

[wide crescent]

I mean it makes sense in retrospective, the miyoo mini plus sold better than the miyoo mini

[stone charm]

It’s the shape. Lol its not packing AA batteries, there’s no need for that hump

[wide crescent]

miyoo 321 is miyoo jumping on the r36s cloning hypetrain

it seems like everyone falls for it

[visual basalt]

i hope it stays dead

[wide crescent]

repeat after me,
consoles
capping
out
at
ps1
should
not
have
sticks

[visual basalt]

ports are the only exception tho

if it has decent portmaster support than sticks are nice to have

but clamshells? never

[wide crescent]

gba sp style clamshells can have sticks imo, if the very least they cover the full n64 library

[worldly crag]

I mean they never said what chip they were using for the 321 for all we know it could be an A33 or 3566

[wide crescent]

Honestly I kinda liked the look of what they did with the ayaneo dmg, except they fucked it up and still hage it a single stick ruining the aesthetic. A touchpad only "stick" design looks sleek

[worldly crag]

are you sure it wasnt the price

[wide crescent]

Hey I'm just talking about from a technical standpoint

For example I respect the legion go 2 as a device, looks like an amazing product, but I'm never gonna spend 2.5 times the price for a handheld that is basically a legion go 1.5

I feel like valve was the only company who actually did a 1.5 upgrade correctly

[stone charm]

You guys think they’ll make a transparent blue mini flip in the future?

[worldly crag]

ive seen you get upset a $20 tv wasnt free you shouldnt talk about price ever

[stone charm]

Either way this flip mini will be a nice upgrade from my funkey s

[worldly crag]

hopefully but they've already said they think transparent models look "ugly"

[wide crescent]

Oh, u mean the crt? Well they are pretty much worthless novadays, my one has duller colors and blurry edges, broken button on remote

it's clearly a very used product

[stone charm]

I coulda sworn it was their most popular color outside of the “safe” choice of black. Popular = more money.
I think they’re scared the hinge would snap so they use that cop out excuse 🤣

[worldly crag]

it certainly sold out the fastest when they were having supply issues

totally didnt take me like 6months of checking the supply channel on twitter for drops to get one

I really hope they change their mind but also I dont want to buy two

[stone charm]

Exactly. I don’t wanna settle for a color now only for blue to come out

Later

I been waiting so long for this tho lol. I want a white or a grey. I think I’ll go grey cuz of the purple buttons. I’m not a fan of the Easter buttons on the white

Then again a white to match my white Thor would be nice when I get it

[worldly crag]

probably going easter in the thought ill mod/dye the buttons then get lazy and never do it

[stone charm]

Maybe we can buy buttons separately ?

[worldly crag]

usually if you ask them they'll sell you sets for like $7 shipped but idk with current shipping rates

idk about the flips tho but its something they've always done for the MM/MMP

[stone charm]

It would be nice. White with black buttons or all grey etc

[rain nacelle]

They chose RK3188 because it actually has a faster CPU than 3326

The difference is that the GPU is basically nonexistent

[normal yarrow]

Just testing their site now to see what their shipping charges are.

No way I am buying this tomorrow with these prices.

[worldly crag]

yup its shopify

and its the worst fucking shipping network too

bet if it pops on aliexpress in a week it would still be faster to arrive using their network

[velvet hearth]

Lets see how long it takes for the hinge to break 😄

[worldly crag]

my last shopify order from a CN company is currently lost in a creek

I ordered mid september

[fierce sparrow]

holding out hope

[mild onyx]

Aw man they add taxes on 💀

[hoary cave]

I personally agree with you but the sticks are useful for ports, doom engine stuff, and some MS DOS games

[runic bane]

Whats the link to the website please

[digital moth]

what game and on which retro console/emulator is on 10:58?

https://youtu.be/k1SlURcBwuY?si=GuWI10XFxxZ5xitI

[normal yarrow]

https://lomiyoo.com/

[clever lotus]

I can't believe I'm contemplating waking up at 5am for this thing

I really need to start questioning my life choices

[haughty steppe]

eh... I have to wake up at 6 for work so 1h earlier... I can try...

[daring arrow]

Oh 9 pm for me

Sweet

Did they indicate the price range

[haughty steppe]

#1372499987606405171 message

[daring arrow]

So maybe 70 with shipping and tax

[rain nacelle]

[mild onyx]

Only ~200 units too. There's a chance we could wake up mega early and then not even be able to get one

[clever lotus]

nah they won't go that fast I think

hype is still very low for this thing

[tawny peak]

i cant decide whether to buy one early on or wait, given miyoos track record

[clever lotus]

it's a coin toss really

[ember spindle]

The screen on my mini V2 died about a year ago and I've been missing it since. This is the endgame clamshell I've been waiting for, but DAMN if I don't wanna pay $20 on top of their MSRP

[tawny peak]

i loved my mini v4 but i found the plus model to be a little too big. my brick hammer fills that void but a super small folding unit would be nice. had a funkey s but that was more novelty than anything

we will have to see the price i guess

[ebon moat]

$52 early bird price, normal price will be $59

[stone charm]

So it’ll be available basically tonight on their website?

When will it be available on AliExpress?

Anyone know

[ebon moat]

They said probably at the end of the month.

But they didn't give an exact date/time.

[stone charm]

So we’re back to the “two weeks” thing eh?
Lol Jk

[haughty steppe]

thinking of getting the yellow one...

[ebon moat]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-star-wars-emperor-palpatine-palpatine-gif-799657800635657398

[daring arrow]

that all black is clean

[ebon moat]

yeah, but gotta go with the gray snes for my nostalgia itch... and pink for my daughter

[tawny peak]

wonder what kind of stuff etsy sellers will make for it

scary thought lol

[ebon moat]

lanyards, speaker upgrades, buttons, cases, stickers, etc

the miyoo v4 speaker upgrades already work for it for example

[tawny peak]

im tied between yellow, grey or black... each for different reasons

[wide crescent]

the all black one

If they will make a v2 with bluetooth I'll definitely jump on it

hmm.. might aswell wait for v5 just to make sure my hinge wont be breaking 🤔

[ebon moat]

don't get your hopes up, neither the v4 nor the mm+ have bluetooth

and the plus and v4 all have the same shared hardware

I just feel lucky that it is getting wifi considering that the v4 didn't have it.

once my miyoo mini flip gets here, lol

[stiff ether]

We need that! Gotta get Spruce on everything

[nimble rivet]

Is the price and US shipping been shared yet?

[visual basalt]

52.99 early bird, 59.99 retail

and miyoos shipping is 20 bucks to the us

[red merlin]

Yeah gonna have to wait for an aliexpress sale for this one

[ebon moat]

go to their website, stick something in your cart that is a similar price, it will show you how much shipping and tax comes to

I am going to risk it... worth it to hopefully get one before they are hard to get for my daughter's Christmas present

normally I would wait for aliexpress sales... but I need to get her that pink one

[haughty steppe]

wait...

the site doesn't list my country o.o!

[reef marlin]

murdered out is 🔥🔥🔥

[nimble rivet]

Yeah I get $20 US shipping. Thanks.

[rain nacelle]

Me neither lol

I'm surprised at how short the list is

21 countries

[haughty steppe]

1 more hour of sleep it is then 😛

[tawny peak]

nearly $30 cad for shipping from their site for me

[daring arrow]

so no headphone jack

[ebon moat]

nope, but comes with a usb to headphone adapter

[remote rapids]

https://youtu.be/PUAjx3CwUuI

[wet scroll]

Miyoo's site doesn't list my country so maybe express checkout via PayPal would work

[stiff ether]

They are doing a 2nd batch on AliExpress soon as well, if you can wait

[clever lotus]

where do you see the list of countries?

[haughty steppe]

I tried ordering the a30 to see what the shipping would be

[remote rapids]

Waiting on subway

[brazen dome]

is there much different here?

[stiff ether]

What you mean?

[ebon moat]

He is probably asking if it makes much difference having the speaker upgrade.

[reef marlin]

this looks more like waiting at subway, unless the wrong pic got uploaded

[ebon moat]

I watched Russ's video... the way he talks makes it sound like even he could barely hear a difference, lol.

[ebon moat]

On also works grammatically. He is waiting ON his subway food.

Damnit, now I got the urge to eat some subway, lol.

https://tenor.com/view/luluwpp-gif-25648350

waiting on the sale to start

[reef marlin]

yes it was more so a remark on whether that was intended to be a different pic — one where he's waiting for public transit — as the exact same pic is posted above 😂😂

[tawny peak]

[magic pewter]

[magic pewter]

[mental lagoon]

Nabbed a white model

[blazing brook]

bless you 🙏

[paper rose]

I got the fleshy pink

[worthy walrus]

Total cost to Canada = CAD $75.74. Free shipping.

[ebon moat]

I got free shipping.

[mental lagoon]

Free shipping here too

[nimble rivet]

$53 and no shipping costs might be a really good deal

[mental lagoon]

Could just be an early bird thing tho

[nimble rivet]

Nice way to stay competetive

[dawn jasper]

How hard the Trump tax going to hit me?

[blazing brook]

bought me the Black baybee!!

[brazen dome]

shipping was free

[steel coyote]

just got 2 of them, it was 106$ + 21$ taxes so 127$ total for ordering to vienna

[mental lagoon]

how are the sausages?

[steel coyote]

very nice as always

[blazing brook]

considered getting the white but like 80% of my collection is black so im staying on theme

[drowsy rain]

Yeah free shipping to Australia here as well... Seems wrong tbh lol

[nimble rivet]

Is it sold out already????

[worldly crag]

Yeah shipping dropped to canada as well $75.74CAD if anyone was wondering

[wet moth]

Thanks, didn't know they just had a site. Ordered two, wanted to gift one for a friend.

[visual basalt]

holy shit i just ordered mine and shipping was free????

im stunned

[drowsy rain]

https://lomiyoo.com/products/miyoo-mini-flip?variant=46825094807801

[visual basalt]

miyoo is fucking back baby

[daring arrow]

ok yea just bought mine
bought when yall said shipping was free

[blazing brook]

yeah like I thought I was gonna get slammed through a table by shipping but nope

[blazing brook]

52.99

[visual basalt]

thats amazing

[solemn thicket]

excited to just throw my v4 in a drawer and forget it exists

[tawny peak]

wtf, i got double charged

[clever lotus]

what's weird is that they don't ask for a shipping address, only a billing address

[visual basalt]

maybe its free for early bird orders

[steel coyote]

well im going back to bed, have fun everyone ❤️

[blazing brook]

sleep tight miff

[cloud dagger]

Did anybody get a confirmation/order email?

[solemn thicket]

not yet

[visual basalt]

i got one through paypal but not directly through miyoo

[drowsy rain]

No not yet, I assume their system is swamped

[paper rose]

Not yet

[blazing brook]

same here

[paper rose]

Soon™

[cosmic gust]

Wait...so it IS an improved screen from the Miyoo Mini?

[visual basalt]

i almost wanna buy two

am i crazy enough to do it

[solemn thicket]

same as the v4

[clever lotus]

no just the v4 screen

[magic pewter]

I did

[blazing brook]

its the v4 screen im p sure

[cosmic gust]

$75CDN...but would I actually play it...

[brazen dome]

yeah i messaged them cuz my billing and shipping arent ehr same

[visual basalt]

naw

[brazen dome]

and if it goes to my billing thats an F

[clever lotus]

I have the same situation but I just swapped billing for shipping

[blazing brook]

paypal autofilled my stuff

[brazen dome]

it doesnt let you swap though, does it?

[solemn thicket]

i even have custom buttons and a nice case for mine but it does not matter because clamshells are just better

[clever lotus]

it did for me

[violet smelt]

Set the alarm at 5 am, got it without shipping to Italy, but at 57 Euro with tax included

[blazing brook]

the paypal email says shipping to [my address]

[visual basalt]

this is my first launch retro handheld since the 35xxsp

[brazen dome]

where? in order history?

[visual basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/coincidence-i-think-not-coincidence-i-think-not-the-incredibles-gif-5096707

[dawn jasper]

This place blew up

[clever lotus]

before pressing the pay now button 😅

[brazen dome]

yeah too late for that 😂

[blazing brook]

I think my last launch purchase was the Miyoo Mini Plus

and maybe the og 35xx?

[solemn thicket]

i think i may have gotten the 28xx at launch? at least close to launch

[ebon moat]

Mine too, I almost always wait for reviews first... but it is so damn cute.

[daring arrow]

80% of my purchases this year have been flip devices

[visual basalt]

i got the rds at launch but that doesnt count because

1. its shit
2. it delivered hella late

[daring arrow]

TechDweeb already has a review a day or so ago

[blazing brook]

the people that got dev units were singing praises so for once I didn't wait for review videos lol

[jade citrus]

So... Why no taxes or Shipping Cost here?

[blazing brook]

no idea but im not asking any questions

[daring arrow]

Buy now, ask questions later

[clever lotus]

still no confirmation mail

[blazing brook]

maaaaaaaaan im so exciteddddddd

[jade citrus]

I got a confirmation email almost immediately.

[drowsy rain]

I bought the standard Flip at launch and ended up returning due to the screen being faulty, everything else on it felt fine to me. So considering this is using the V4 display I at least know what the quality will be like.

[visual basalt]

ill tell you if they try to charge that shit afterwards im cancelling my order

ngl

[brazen dome]

ig got ne

email

[tawny peak]

anyone else get a double charge?

[daring arrow]

No double charge

[brazen dome]

nope

[jade citrus]

No Double. Oof

[visual basalt]

prolly wont actually go through as a double charge tbf

[ebon moat]

Yeah, more of a RGC guy myself.

[visual basalt]

and if it does u can dispute that

[ebon moat]

No email... but I had registered for their shopify 2 days ago... so in my account I do have an order number at least.

[solemn thicket]

it says on my order in my profile that they'll send me an email "when my order is ready" so i dunno

[visual basalt]

same

[brazen dome]

mine did buy then changed to confirmed quickly

[clever lotus]

https://youtu.be/Oeogyt1YJDw?si=2ZDR-wUj7oTKPVo2

[ebon moat]

I wonder if it is because of shipping and taxes being free? Or maybe paypal related? Strange that there was no email.

[clever lotus]

yeah, no email here either but I'm gonna head back to sleep, I'll just have to trust the order is fine

🫡

[drowsy rain]

Yeah still no email here either, but it's showing up on my Shopify account (Shop app) so the order's definitely gone through.

[tawny peak]

second payment cancelled... thank goodness... scared me for a moment

i didnt even technically hit submit order on either one of them so them going through wasnt expected, i was trying to see how much either would be

[granite matrix]

i like the yellow

[sage wraith]

I’m going with black

[granite matrix]

it's not like a sun faded yellow like their other miyoo devices

[sage wraith]

Nicotine dmg

[tawny peak]

I ordered grey like techdweeb got

[blazing brook]

i got black :v

[ebon moat]

grey one for me, pink one for my daughter

[granite matrix]

big difference in yellow

[ebon moat]

urine sample yellow

[granite matrix]

yeah im like glad they went with a real yellow lol

[digital moth]

is this website legit? paid for order, but no shipping added and still no confirmation email, just money was charged…

[ebon moat]

that is the official miyoo website

[tawny peak]

this could be the device i take absolutely everywhere now... i was taking my brick hammer everywhere but i worry about it getting wrecked, yet i somehow got it cheaper than the flip lol

[granite matrix]

i am tempted but... ill wait on this

i have too many handhelds and i just go ta 34XX SP like a few weeks ago lol

[paper rose]

If you're really worried
2nd+ Batches will be on Aliexpress (and probably will be past the tester phase)

[granite matrix]

oh im not worried. im just trying to keep my collection from getting out of hand lol

[mild onyx]

Just so happened to wake up so decided to check, surprised it's still in stock. Got a pink one. Seems like they f'ed up giving everyone free shipping

[ebon moat]

blasphemy, never too many

[granite matrix]

D:

[mild onyx]

I expect we'll all be asked to pay up for shipping

[ebon moat]

I would not worry about it... I am sure it was much cheaper than this to produce, lol.

[sage wraith]

How long after checkout did yall get confirmation email?

[ebon moat]

Still have not got it.

[mild onyx]

I didn't get one either but can see my receipt in the shop app

[sage wraith]

Not sure how that would work, they’d probably just as soon cancel the order

[sage wraith]

Ah I did Apple Pay

[ebon moat]

I did paypal.

[sage wraith]

Oh wait it’s there cool

$53 shipped is actually kinda killer for a launch

[tawny peak]

the quick shutdown/save of the og MM could make this flip great if they can make it work with closing the screen, would make it amazing at work lol... "crap, boss coming, hide the system" lol

[vagrant matrix]

I just checked and it has shipping added now? $20 to USA?

[ebon moat]

Lol, they fixed the bug.

[jade citrus]

Uh oh

[mild onyx]

Lol yep looks like it, just added another to my cart and can see £11 shipping

[sage wraith]

Grocery store lines, code compiling, walking the dog with one hand free, those kind of scenarios this will shine

[jade citrus]

What does that mean for those of us who didn't pay it?

[long crag]

I just tried a minute ago, it said can not be shipped to my address in CA.

[sage wraith]

Gg no re

[ebon moat]

now it has shipping and taxes

[sage wraith]

Much harder sell at that price

[ebon moat]

I got 2 for $105... as long as they don't cancel the order.

[sage wraith]

If they cancel my no shipping order I’ll just shrug it off and snipe one in WTS in a month

[mild onyx]

My UK order had taxes added (20% VAT) but yeah no shipping

[brazen dome]

it now has shipping too

was free for me earlier

no taxes tho

[mild onyx]

Hopefully they just decide to eat the cost of their mistake but I doubt it

[daring arrow]

If it cancels on me, to add shipping, i'll just wait

so far still the same

[sage wraith]

Do the last 4 of your card on the shop app receipt match your actual card? In mine it shows as 0000

[long crag]

I guess they were fixing it when I tried. Now there is $20 shipping. I think I'll wait few weeks. $73 for this not worth it for me.

[sage wraith]

Makes me wonder

[daring arrow]

i'll check back in an hour or so

[tawny peak]

they didnt add shipping on mine which makes me wonder for my order, although im still waiting for a confirmation email

[sage wraith]

At that price it’s almost twice a mini

[mild onyx]

Mine shows correctly. Maybe cause you used Apple Pay?

[ebon moat]

sounds to me like someone will be getting fired at miyoo XD

[granite matrix]

miyoo flip goes for like under $50 a lot now

[long crag]

Recently I pre-ordered a MagicX One35. It also had $20 shipping but base price was low enough for what it is offering that I didn't care. But Mini Flip feels too expensive at $73.

[river ferry]

Someone at lo miyoo dot com did a whoopsie

maybe next they could do a good handheld

[granite matrix]

thanks miyoo. you did a great job of saving my wallet

[sage wraith]

Miyoo mini slide when?

[river ferry]

Miyoo cannot figure out a hinge

Let's not go asking for them to engineer a sliding mechanism also

[midnight shadow]

Has anyone had an order confirmation ?

[sage wraith]

buys a new handheld

“Now I’ll definitely beat crono trigger”

[midnight shadow]

I also had no shipping on my order

[wet scroll]

Not able to check out with PayPal, no shipping to Japan

[visual basalt]

wtf

[wet scroll]

What a load of crap

[sage wraith]

What all is on Scott’s shelf there? I see a SNES for sure, and maybe some PS1 cases next to it?

[ebon moat]

Yeah... taxes in my country are bullshit, lol.

[visual basalt]

aw hell nah do they expect me to pay 20 dollars for shipping?

they better not cancel my order

[worthy walrus]

I placed two orders; one before and one after the shipping charge correction. Neither order was accompanied by a confirmation email; just the typical email from PayPal.

[ebon moat]

If they cancel mine, will just wait for aliexpress.

[visual basalt]

same

[blazing brook]

if i gotta pay more because they messed up i'm cancelling my order

[sage wraith]

This is my first time ordering from them at launch, are they usually quick to ship to the US? I won’t have this address after Nov30

[ebon moat]

I have bought from them a couple times. I have always gotten them within 1 to 2 weeks.

And I am just a bit further south from the US.

[sage wraith]

Ok cool

[midnight shadow]

This is a preorder though, shipping might be slower?

[kind solar]

Can't decide on color damn

[granite matrix]

go yellow

it actually looks nice haha

vs the other miyoo yellow

[midnight shadow]

Gray master race

[granite matrix]

and it has black buttons

[kind solar]

Ah I'll have to pass with new shipping cost

Miyoo mini v4 is only $35 on ali

[visual basalt]

hopefully they dont cancel the orders that didnt pay for shipping

that would be stupid

[ebon moat]

They have never said anything about a preorder.

[tawny peak]

the fact this has a 25% larger battery than the og MM V4 means that in theory this should handle games a decent amount longer than the original

at least one would hope

[cunning crag]

Almost same screen size as miyoo a30?

[blazing brook]

mini v4 screen

[worldly crag]

2.8" 750x560 screen

its really sharp on the v4

340ppi iirc

[blazing brook]

3x gba with the tiniest black bars

But I got the black flip so the bars just blend in

[wet scroll]

I asked miyoo's why they don't ship to my country but they said they do and to check again. But there is no option lol

[haughty steppe]

first time ordering from Litnxt as they have free shipping for me

[wet scroll]

Litnxt ships soon, or after 45-60 days?

Oh, Miyoo's website says it's a preorder too

[ebon moat]

It didn't before... But now it does...

[wet scroll]

Maybe Batch 1 sold through

They just don't make it clear

[ebon moat]

Batch 1 was supposedly what we waited for at 8PM.

So my guess is batch 1 ran out

[visual basalt]

black and grey are already sold out through the first batch

[ebon moat]

And now they have preorder for batch 2.

[left urchin]

Seems like they are scrambling to update things lol

[blazing brook]

yeah i just checked too its only grey and black that say Preorder

[visual basalt]

again they better not cancel my order

[ebon moat]

So we know the 2 most popular colors.

[ebon moat]

Same

[blazing brook]

gonna nab a pink for my wife when I get paid tuesday if they're still there

[wet scroll]

If I choose Canada and not express checkout there is like 30 dollars CAD shipping fee

That's outrageous lol they clearly made a mistake somehow

[haughty steppe]

Oh shoot, I didn't realize it would be so long 😅
But do Miyoo themselves ship sooner?

[river ferry]

i'll wait until its 30usd on ali

[shut pulsar]

Got a gray model, although I haven’t gotten an email back yet confirming the order, so that feels a bit weird.

[wet scroll]

They finally added my country

$5 dollars shipping to Japan

[sage wraith]

So the first handful before it said preorder might ship sooner?

[visual basalt]

i think miyoo is gonna try cancelling all the orders that didnt get charged shipping, hopefully they let us reorder and get the original shipping

[river ferry]

日本語か？

[haughty steppe]

From Miyoo directly I'd need to pay 13 EUR for shipping and 13 EUR in taxes... Adding up to 71 EUR or so

[visual basalt]

if not im not gonna bother reordering myself

[haughty steppe]

No, thank you

[blazing brook]

Yeah if it gets canceled I'm waiting for the ali drop

[solid kayak]

Nice, just got my order confirmation email with the free shipping. Makes it seem more likely to me that Miyoo won't cancel the free shipping orders.

[brazen dome]

"We wanted to let you know that due to a technical issue on our website, your order is missing a shipping address and the shipping fee has not been paid.

To proceed, we kindly ask you to:

Place a new order on our website.

Provide us with the new order number once completed.

Please note that this will be part of the first shipment. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and prompt action."

Just got this

[worldly crag]

nah they can cancel mine I can wait a few weeks to not pay excessive shipping

[hard orchid]

Yea I got a confirmation on my free shipping order as well

[dull patrol]

I got no confirmation email and shipping address not showing. So emailed in advance, shipping was free but did pay tax on my order. If they cancel my order. I will probs just leave it and wait for Aliexpress

[wet scroll]

Hopefully enough ppl cancel then I can get a non preorder grey model

[daring arrow]

Got confirmation email just now, So 3 or so hours since I ordered it
Was during the initial no shipping thing
Didn't ask me to pay for shipping or to reorder

[stone charm]

Looks like the free shipping is over it’s gonna be $20 to ship to USA * lol

I will wait for AliExpress

[wide crescent]

Not nearly as bad as shipping from retrotink

[stone charm]

Man you guys got lucky with the free shipping and a good price
I bet miyoo was pissed

Update us if you get charged for shipping later on. Check your statements afterwards too

I’m gonna wait for AliExpress and see if they’ll throw in some buttons for me to buy. Those dam Easter buttons on the white aren’t it. Idk why they keep doing it

[drowsy rain]

I'm 90% sure they're gonna email us all with what @brazen dome received and cancel our initial orders.

[echo seal]

i have a pending refund

[wet scroll]

My order is listed as confirmed but I didn't get any email

[stone charm]

Sadge

I’m wondering if there is the smallest bit of hope they’ll make more colors in a few months
I would love for any kind of blue.

[normal yarrow]

https://youtu.be/Oeogyt1YJDw?si=VMdOYmEtW-2DWkln nice nails on show 💅

[dusky wind]

I wonder if OnionOS dev will give an OS update for clamshell support.

[rain nacelle]

Hard to say

Is Onion open source?

[worldly crag]

yup its more most of the devs have moved on to other things

[rain nacelle]

Asking because it's been long enough since an OnionOS update that there's a good chance that there wouldn't be an "official" update for that. We'd be relying on someone else to modify the firmware a bit

[worldly crag]

a few still pop in from time to time

[haughty steppe]

I want it now, not after 45-60 days... 😭

[hard orchid]

I felt silly ordering one. I have at least 3 other flippy boys sitting in a box

[gusty flume]

I want one

[stone charm]

Can this mini flip run DS games? By DS I mean Pokémon black/white lol

It’s been so long since I’ve had a miyoo I forgot what theyre capable of

[worldly crag]

black/white runs but not well iirc

needs at least some frameskip

[velvet hearth]

I'm going to wait and see how you guys get on with wave 1

[worldly crag]

always the smart plan

[velvet hearth]

thankyou for being my lab rats ❤️ :3

[worldly crag]

https://tenor.com/view/hamster-horny-bj-blow-job-succ-gif-15347230

I just want it sooner

Ill do anything

well maybe not that

[austere ginkgo]

When you have your units, I'd be glad to know if it overclocks as well at 1600MHz than the MM.

[worldly crag]

remind me when they start arriving if a dev doesnt test for it sooner

[keen edge]

It took a couple hours for mine to come through

[violet smelt]

I ordered at 5AM on my local time and just arrived confirmation at 10:35, still they haven't replied on shipping costs or how to add shipping address. So I think I'm not on the clear yet😅

[stone charm]

As long as it runs then it’s ok by me. I think I remember cutscenes being an issue but everything else being okay.

[stone charm]

Ask if they’ll sell some buttons on the side for me please

[dusky wind]

I saw TechDweeb playing DS games, but you need to wait for a proper review in order to make a decent judgement

[keen edge]

Did you get a PayPal receipt?

[dull patrol]

I got a reply from miyoo saying check your emails we emailed you about your order :/ i have no email. Not even in junk

Preparing for a cancellation

[keen edge]

https://tenor.com/view/cancel-orders-cancel-keyboard-gif-21833571

[torpid shard]

Insane price right there! I got the device for 8$ with even free shipping on AliExpress

[violet smelt]

I used gpay, so I'm not sure how to check it

[torpid shard]

Check your bank account

[violet smelt]

Yeah the payment went through, I was referring to the receipt

[keen edge]

Leave it

If you didn't pay for shipping I would just keep the order & assume they processed it

Maybe email them & ask them to confirm

[torpid shard]

Check your Google Wallet then

Otherwise don't do anything

Free shipping should be free

[torn pendant]

Yeah no email about retracting free shipping for me either but order "confirmed"

They shouldn't have made a big deal about the micro 200 unit batch if they didn't have their webstore set up properly

[violet smelt]

I checked and don't see anything useful. Anyway I contacted them via mail and via chat on their website. No response yet

[keen edge]

They seem to have plenty left for sale

[rain nacelle]

I'm not sure I can even order since my country isn't listed

I saw people going the PayPal route because of that, but idk if that alleviates the issue

[ebon moat]

I just got the email... 8 hours after I ordered.

[wet scroll]

Paypal didn't work for me when my country wasn't listed at first, it would error after approving the paypal amount and returning to the merchant, asking me to select the country

[dull patrol]

Nice. Yeah i only got an email from miyoo saying i should have had an email 😅

[wet scroll]

I'm guessing their weird site url is getting blocked by gmail?

[rain nacelle]

Thanks for the quick answer. Ig I gotta wait until it shows up on Ali

I was planning on doing that anyway, but then I saw people getting free shipping on theirs

[wet scroll]

You can message them on the store maybe, after I did they added the country after a few hours. But it's probably close to bedtime in China now

[rain nacelle]

I'm good

Definitely not paying $20 shipping lol

[wet scroll]

Yeah, I think depends where you live, shipping to me in Japan was 700 jpy like 4 or 5 dollars

[rain nacelle]

Ohhh

Let me check other EU countries real quick

Might be different

Ah okay

Delivery to Sweden is €8.75

So it'll probably be similar enough for Ireland

Think I'll still wait though, since the total is nearly €67

[wet scroll]

I just noticed your profile pic is tony soprano's head on cwc's body lmfao that's awesome

[rain nacelle]

Thanks lol

It really spoke to me

[coral elk]

It comes to $99 AUD for me, AliExpress will probably have it for around $80 AUD when it pops up.

[blazing brook]

Just got an order confirmed email from miyoo

[dawn jasper]

I ordered black but I was flip flipping between black and white for a while last night. Hope I made it into the first shipment.

Really like those pastel buttons but I settled on being stealthy. This little bad boy will be great for sneaky play in public.

[shut pulsar]

I still haven’t gotten the email, wtf?

[coral elk]

Going for the retro grey.

[shut pulsar]

Meanwhile with me it’s been 7 hours and still nothing.

[ebon moat]

I just got mine 8 hours later, there is still hope.

[tardy wing]

One order at 8:01 with no shipping, another an hour later with shipping just to be safe (thinking they might auto cancel the no shipping one), no emails for either yet

[dull patrol]

Dont worry. Same. I emailed miyoo. Who told me I should have had an email about my order 🤷🏻‍♂️ checked. Still nothing

[tawny peak]

I have nothing either yet despite ordering almost immediately as well

[blazing brook]

I just got my email an hour ago, bought one the instant it went live last night

Only a billing address listed in the email but in the PayPal email it said Ship To [my address] so idk

[daring arrow]

Oof yea that sucks

[daring arrow]

Their website just might be swamped

I couldn't log in from any computer other than the one I already did earlier

Because their log in code did not get sent out

Like I got a log in code now 7 hours after trying to check in bed last night

[wet scroll]

heh, so that DOES actually do something

[tardy wing]

Could see their email service getting rate-limited or something similar if they don’t normally process this kind of volume

[tardy wing]

Login codes were working correctly (as in under a minute to get the email) about an hour before the drop

[clever lotus]

same here, it's been 10 hours, no email

[clever lotus]

how did you learn you are getting refunded? does it show anything on the website?

[mild onyx]

No email here yet either. Ordered about 30 mins after launch, got in just before they fixed the free shipping issue

[blazing brook]

Could just be swamped atm

[mild onyx]

If they email is to tell me i need to pay shipping, i don't want their email anyway lol

[visual basalt]

no email still to me

[ebon moat]

their email service is swamped, I also can't get a login email from them... it doesn't arrive

so I can't login from my phone... but luckily I am still logged in on my computer

[dull patrol]

Who knows they could be using amazon servers 😅

Bad day for a lot of services today

[fresh spade]

Order 1033 email confirmation just received. Yes I have a grey dev unit… but I need a black. 😎

[mild onyx]

I got a pink one from Miyoo and a Black one from LitNXT cause that 15% off code and free shipping/no VAT was sweet. Shame it says 45-60 day presale but ah well.

I love how the black is just all black, black buttons, and white text. No red buttons or coloured text, or skittles, they all have their place but it's nice to see actual plain black for once

[blazing brook]

Are you in the States? How much was your shipping

[visual basalt]

if they were charged for it at all

[blazing brook]

I totally forgot about the email delay and thought they bought one just now 💀 oops

[visual basalt]

i hope i get a confirmation lol im scared they're just gonna cancel it cuz they fucked up and forgot shipping

[shut pulsar]

All I know is that if they cancel mine, I’m not bothering with reordering on their site, I’ll just wait until there’s cheap enough stock on Amazon.

[visual basalt]

same

[ebon moat]

I am more worried about customs in my country... since I didn't pay taxes on the site... I have a 50/50 chance of customs holding it...

[visual basalt]

us?

[ebon moat]

or I get lucky and it slips through the cracks without me having paid taxes...

nope Chile, south america

[visual basalt]

ah

i also didnt pay taxes on it

[shut pulsar]

Like holy fuck, this is the absolute worst ordering experience I’ve ever seen from any of these companies.

[visual basalt]

yeah this is terrible

goofy ahh miyoo

[velvet hearth]

miyoo being rough? I am shocked

[visual basalt]

lol

[ebon moat]

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10/20/business/aws-down-internet-outage

If miyoo uses aws... it wasn't their fault... the outage happened right at 8PM PT... when the flip mini launched, lol.

[visual basalt]

lol

im pretty sure shopify uses aws

[ebon moat]

Miyoo was so popular they crashed AWS.

[visual basalt]

they do

[visual basalt]

crazy

[ebon moat]

According to the article... the queues for things are still running... which might explain why emails are being sent out hours later...

That super early bird free shipping special overloaded all the systems, lol.

[visual basalt]

lololol

theres no way that was intentional

[ebon moat]

just bad timing for miyoo I guess, right during their launch AWS had an outage

I wonder if the outage could be related to why the shipping was showing up as free shipping and taxes were not applied? 🤔

or was it just miyoo's screw up

[visual basalt]

prolly aws stuff

[blazing brook]

Whatever it is they better let it ride

[visual basalt]

fr

[fresh spade]

No fees charged. I’ve contacted Miyoo to see what they plan on doing with our orders.

[blazing brook]

Keep us posted 🫡

[visual basalt]

so i havent got the confirmation but i am getting emails saying "oh you still have items in ur cart!!!!!" cuz i was browsing the other colors smh

work time

[ebon moat]

no.... now they will have realized it
