I recently got a Miyoo Mini and I almost exclusively use it to play NES Tetris. I’m hooked and I didn’t know there even was a community!

I had an RG35xx but it's now replaced with a Powkiddy RGB30. A fantastic device for retro gaming due to its great 1:1 screen which covers so many aspect ratios. Also, a perfect device for Pico-8.

check out apotris, a gba rom. it has classic mode, and is just so fantastically polished. plenty of other modes too

If you want a much more refined version of the original GB tetris, check out the rosy retrospective mod: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5813

apotris’ master mode is very good, I just played a lot of it, thanks for the rec!

Ha, I did the almost the thing but to play Gameboy Tetris instead. The Miyoo Mini was impossible to get at a good price around this time last year so I got the Abernic RG35XX and been really happy with it.

What’s considered a good price? I’m blown away by how much functionality this packs for under $65 on this listing but I don’t know what’s normal.

Is the Miyoo Mini worth getting?

I personally love mine. The build quality is great and it fits well in my hands

Yeah, and onionos is a very nice addition to it

Yes it is (Miyoo mini plus). More convenient than steam deck, runs everything up to and including Playstation 1, just install OnionOS on it. Only downside is there's no bluetooth audio.

Or you could get an r36s for less price which has a bit more power to handle some PSP, Dreamcast and N64 games. I honestly can't review it yet because it's still in delivery but /r/SBCGaming sold me on it.

Are there any cons vs the Miyoo?

I bought an Analogue Pocket and installed a bunch of emulators and games from archive.org. Gameboy Tetris is great (I bought a cartridge from EBay) but for me, that’s the exception. I’ve tried a handful of the other games and came to realize that games from that era just don’t click with me.

You should try Tetris DX, it plays way better than the original Gameboy Tetris.

It's the epitome of mobile Tetris. No 7-bag, zero input delay, and of course, color. It's easy to cheese because of infinite lock delay resets (and wall climbing).

I also enjoyed Tetris DS because of its extremely addictive Push mode in multiplayer. I may have had to retake CS301 because of that game.
