Really loving my Anbernic RG35XX. Think I’ll do a video review soon. Plays my games flawlessly. Also installed OnionOS on it which is *chef’s kiss*

Faster shipping than from China… And same price. Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3rx8buh

#RetroGaming #Gaming #RG35XX #OnionOS

I'm a sucker for handheld game #Emulators. Today I've been sorting my #MiyooMiniV2 and the #MiyooMiniPlus (which they should have dropped the Mini part of the name). They're absolutely delightful. I'll be glad when they release a proper #OnionOS for the Plus though. I haven't played it much because of that, unfortunately.

I want to be able to do more than just favorite games in #garlicOS / #onionOS; I want to add them to lists like "games I want to finish some day" and "two player coop" or whatever.

I downloaded a very carefully curated collection of ROMs for #miyooMini #onionOS and it's got screenshots, and cover art and logos in the thumbnails!!

Trouble is that the #GarlicOS theme I'm using displays text over the thumbnails and it looks kinda like trash.

I wonder if it's possible to have #retroArch render the thumbnails over the #ROMs list when available.

@tobyjaffey "pocket Linux Gameboy" is what they should be calling them

I'm getting anxiety about the #anbernicRg35xx I ordered as I see more and more about the #miyooMiniPlus.

I was pretty disappointed with the OS on my #anbernic #rg350 and seeing #OnionOS made me want to try out another #retrogaming #handheld. Seeing #BlackSeraph's #RetroArch release #GarlicOS for the #rg35xx convinced me to pull the trigger and get one.

But I keep hearing about the #miyooMini's #OnionOS and how it's continuing to be developed and I'm getting FOMO.

Doing some research about #OnionOS and I just learned that it's by the same group that builds #RetroArch. I don't know why that's encouraging to me, since RetroArch is a truly awful piece of software on Windows or Mac, but maybe for a little #retrogames handheld it'll be better? I do not expect it to be easy to set up, it's #linux after all!

Everytime I come back to #retrogames handhelds from China I'm amazed at the variety and value of hardware. For $60 you can get 1000s of #videogames in a device with #nintendo levels of build quality.

I had an #anbernic but I disliked the OS. Now there are alternative firmwares like #OnionOS and #GarlicOS. I'm thinking I might try to get an #RG3XX or #miyoomini

A few days in, my review of the #MiyooMini (pocket linux gameboy)
Pro: The emulation is excellent and "just works". It runs everything from MAME to ZX Spectrum, Nintendo, PICO-8, PS1 and Amiga stuff. The #OnionOS UI is fast and makes sense

Con: It's tiny, but not rugged. I've already dropped it on a hard floor and damaged the LCD. The micro-sd slot is spring loaded and great for losing cards

Software ⭐⭐⭐⭐⚝, Hardware ⭐⭐⭐⚝⚝

Need holiday gift ideas for your gamer friend? It's been a phenomenal year for portable gaming in 2022! Especially for the #OpenSource world.

• Steam Deck with #SteamOS
• Analogue Pocket with #FPGA
• Miyoo Mini 2 with #OnionOS

These handhelds haven't replaced my Nintendo Switch completely, but I do find myself #gaming on these more often.
