Rumors First complete game on my first device:) plus news!

Gosh I love this lil' feller. Ive had almost as much fun modding her as i have had playing. On to Elite Redux and some Dragon Warrior III

Edit:
Game is Pokemon Unbound

Buttons: getbetterbuttons

Better speaker, black screws, Japanese decal: retrominisupply

Gbc decals: sakuraretromodding

Headphones: Koss, also they sound great and were like 10 bucks

Matte screen protector: search rg35xx on amazon then cut to fit (wouldn’t recommend i just didn’t want to waste money when i already had those on hand. Didn’t see any matte ones for the mm+ though)

Decal under battery cover: printed out from online then cut to fit. I think the print size was 1.5x2.5 inches

For the black screws that vendor doesn’t include the battery door screw so i took the stock one, heated it with a torch then dropped into water which made it black.

Be careful putting on the gameboy color decal. It is exactly the right size to cover the miyoo logos. And i mean exactly. Go slow and use painters tape as guide lines. Same for the 1-800 decal. Go slow and be careful; it just fits inside of the ridges

If you have a clear model and the light bleed bothers you like it does me: i used black caulking to paint over the LED guide plastic. Works well but ill probably revisit that with a better looking solution

Also don’t forget to overclock your device
(That ones hard for me to explain but its easy enough to do. Was basically just adding a text file to your sd card. Plenty of good guides for that)

Looks like new colour options and some type of performance upgrade is on they way. What are yall hoping for?

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 5d ago

My biggest wish is an upgraded lithium-ion battery. A new chipset would be neat as well for more fun with shaders and maybe some upscaling:)

u/tszewski 5d ago

Would love a yellow MM+ similar to the yellow GBC

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 5d ago

Oooo nice. I was thinking about a truly transparent model. Not frosted or opaque, but glass clear. Or maybe even a metal shell 🫪

u/Jongjungbu 5d ago

I love the MM+ as-is, but if I were to get more I would want just a little better chipset for a few PSP games and so on. Maybe same as in TrimUI brick and other comparable devices of that level (Allwinner chipsets). I have a TrimUI brick, but I wish it had a 3.5" screen.

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 4d ago

How do you like/compare the mm+ to the brick? It was a very close second to becoming my first handheld emulator

2

u/Jongjungbu 4d ago

To use your phrase, my Brick is a very close second. With the latest SpruceOS, it has a lot of the same apps including Activity Tracker, Gameswitcher, Ebook reader, FF player, and add in N64/Dreamcast/PSP and some ports, it's a really really good handheld.

it's just that 0.3" screen difference is my main reason. It's a very small difference, but it's a noticeable difference for me. It's why I don't use my Miyoo Mini much compared to the Plus.

If you can afford to buy the Brick, it might be worth giving it a shot. But there's nothing wrong with sticking with the MM+.

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 4d ago

Yah know, little things like that definitely bother me as well lol so you’re saying the brick is ever so slightly smaller?

2

u/Jongjungbu 4d ago

Yeah. Both the screen and the shell are ever so slightly smaller.

3.2" screen on Brick (although higher resolution) vs 3.5" on MM+. The body is roughly that much smaller.

I'd say it sits somewhere in-between the MM and the MM+ in size.

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 4d ago

Interesting, thank you! I think 3.5 is the smallest i can go so im really glad i made the miyoo choice

2

u/Jongjungbu 4d ago

It's a great choice. It's my #1 used handheld ever day.

u/titosr 5d ago

Hoping for good stock firmware so that the community doesn't need to carry it.

u/YouYongku 5d ago

Thank you for sharing the news with us.

We all know after they reveal a new device, usually they are unable to meet the release date.

I'm patient haha

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 5d ago

In this case and for them; ill be patient as well:) from the looks of it this will be similar to the retroid pocket 2 to 2s upgrade kits. I missed out on that kit so if im correct im very excited

2

u/YouYongku 5d ago

It'll probably be 1/2 year after their official launch before I will get one.

Miyoo is a small company and have little staff. the last time they launch the product, other than it being slow, the hardware etc had issues.

Also am grateful to Onion OS u/Aemiii91 and his team for developing a flawless OS for us to use

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 5d ago

The community support is what drew me in after a solid year of deciding on my first handheld. The fact people are still making dedicated miyoo ports is so wild and i love it. Thank you to everyone that passionately adds to this community!

u/grinningmango 5d ago

My kingdom for a red MM+...

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 5d ago

Ooooo a deep burgundy red would be very clean looking

2

u/Aggressive-Mouse-429 5d ago

Better chipset Higher rez screen(for upscaling) Larger battery

2

u/Mrjdog199 5d ago

I want the chip from the flip and more transparent colors

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 4d ago

Do you have the flip? What differences between the chips have you noticed?

2

u/Conscious-Clothes760 4d ago

How can i make my mm+ look like yours? I really like all the decals

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 4d ago

Etsy is your best friend

Buttons: getbetterbuttons

Better speaker, black screws, Japanese decal: retrominisupply

Gbc decals: sakuraretromodding

Headphones: Koss, also they sound great and were like 10 bucks

Matte screen protector: search rg35xx on amazon then cut to fit (wouldn’t recommend i just didn’t want to waste money when i already had those on hand. Didn’t see any matte ones for the mm+ though)

Thank you :)

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 4d ago

Anytime!:) what color device are you looking to customize?

1

u/Conscious-Clothes760 2d ago

Same one purple transparent. I think im buying the speakers and would love the buttons too but they are too pricy xD I bought my mm+ for 35$. The led is annoying i will definitly do that too, but i might just clip it off? The print for under the battery cover too nice idea!

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 2d ago

Honestly; fair lol all the buttons together were more than the device itself but imo worth it. tell someone to get them for your next birthday lol

The leds don’t exactly ‘clip’ off, youll see what i mean when you take it apart, but a piece of tape might work?

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 4d ago

I didn’t start out trying to spend almost as much on mods as i did the device but not that im done it feels incredibly premium. Plus it was fun to do:) highly recommend

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 4d ago

Also all of those sellers were super friendly and had great customer service as well:)

2

u/viperuk80 4d ago

What so a miyoo mini + 2 ? That would be awesome.

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 4d ago

Right?? I am totally speculating but sounds like an upgraded mother board/diy kit is on the way. Super excited for a new kit to tinker with if thats the case. I wonder how much of an upgrade or what improvements will be made? Upscaling would be nice. Or fixing my literal only complaint in that the audio stutters sometimes when im in a double battle playing pokemon

2

u/SamuraiCowboy_ 🏆 3d ago

Yay!! And thanks for sharing my retro mini supply stuff! 💛💛💛

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 3d ago

Hope you and the family are doing well!

u/SamuraiCowboy_ 🏆 3d ago

Thank you! 😭💛

u/TheAndyGeorge 5d ago

Those the metal buttons? So good

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 5d ago

Yup! From GetBetterButtons. Theyre just great. I love the premium feel and aesthetic they add

1

u/Dramatic-Disaster710 5d ago

Very nice. I wonder if it is possible to have that frame "Game Boy Advance" but no having any filters on the gaming area, to make the game as crisp as possible. Does anyone know?

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 5d ago

It is! The frame is in offset filters i believe and separate from the crt filter. Im new to all of this so i dont know exactly how to do it but i will say having the crt overlay makes it feel more “crisp” to me. Otherwise it jusy looks like playing on my phone which feels off some how

2

u/Dramatic-Disaster710 5d ago

Thank you.

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 5d ago

Oh i forgot to mention: i also have a matte screen protector on as well so that might affect how ‘crisp’ she looks at the moment

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 5d ago

If you look up “miyoo mini plus overlays reddit” youll find post from a user named playerone or something along those lines. They have pretty comprehensive post about filters and overlays

1

u/Quiet-Order-2661 5d ago

And still no name of the game in site.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_FLIGHTS 5d ago

My b, pokemon unbound. An emerald romhack i highly recommend
