Does the Miyoo Mini+ still deserve to be the go to recommendation for a handheld of its class?
I recently got myself a Miyoo Mini+, in large part out of curiosity after hearing rave reviews about it. And after owning it for a few weeks I can say I do get it, at least in a vacuum. People weren't kidding when they said OnionOS is a godsend, it's super comfortable, and doesn't really sport any major flaws for PS1 and below. So I'm happy with it.
However I can't help but wonder if there aren't better devices for achieving similar things and around the same price range? The MM+ isn't that cheap, it's just about the lowest spec device still being sold, and it doesn't really feel like it actually excels at anything. For the most part it's impressive how little the specs matter, but you're still missing out on Portmaster, N64, Dreamcast, and Saturn.
To me it almost feels like it's not the greatness of the MM+ that makes it so popular, but rather it's the flaws of its competitors for that makes it still relevant for "PS1 and below".
Or what do you guys think?
