TLDR: things like boot time can be more important than screen resolution.

Entered the hobby with the Miyoo Mini+. Had fun and wanted to try something else.

After a lot of research I purchased the Powkiddy RGB30 for crisp GBA scaling and the bright 1:1 screen. Unfortunately a couple of issues ruined the experience:

  • Finicky charging—have the make sure the charger is the right kind. Also battery drains heavily even when the device is off.
  • Slow startup—not that fun of a pocket device when it takes ~~multiple minutes~~ 38 seconds (vs 17 seconds) to get into a game.

So I bought a Miyoo Mini v4 because it's smaller, has quick boot/resume with OnionOS, and have a more universal charging experience. It's currently on its way and I'm excited to get back to the hobby.

I was genuinely curious because I can't wrap my head around where all my other stuff would go. I want to carry one around with me but I feel like short of cargo pants, I don't have means to do it without scratching it or my phone.

Somehow the 128gb version is the cheapest

I'm pretty sure $42 dollars is the all time precoupon low for the trimui smart pro. Somehow Aliexpress's search engine is completely broken. They have these "hidden" aggregate deals that they discount a reputable sellers stock in a separate listing just like they did for the r36s a few days ago. Unfortunately, searching for Trimui Smart Pro with their search engine yields no result cheaper than $52. You can use a direct link but reddit doesn't allow aliexpress direct links so you'll have to go to my spreadsheet either on my profile or through this link:

Use a coupon such as CDUS03 or USAFF3 for another 3 bucks off. Unfortunately, the influencer 9 off 30 coupons still have not restocked. Otherwise, we could have seen a $33 TSP post coupon price. You could also add two trimui smart pros to the cart and use an $8 coupon such as CDUS08 or USAFF8 if you happen to want to drop the price even further per unit.

EDIT: Looks like aliexpress caught on and limited it to one per shopper. You can get around this by ordering a different color option such as the white and black 128g option.

If you're outside the US and need coupons, I have assembled a page here:

Lastly, every single link has an affiliate free counterpart right next to it. Or if you just want to use a completely affiliate free spreadsheet:

| Spreadsheet | Link | |

| | Deal sheet (Has both affiliate and nonaffiliate) | | | Deal sheet (only nonaffilate) | |

For anyone who needs it:

I've created a Google Sheet tool that allows you to explore different integer scaling options for retro games on various handheld devices.

I was heavily inspired by Shaun Inman's excellent utility, but found that it didn't have my specific device (Logitech G Cloud) and didn't include a simple overscale option - so I made my own, far less sophisticated (but perhaps more flexible?) tool.

Key features include:

  • Selections for a range of devices and consoles, with ability to input custom dimensions
  • Calculated comparisons of stretching vs. integer scaling vs. overscaling
  • Detailed outputs including image diagonal, scaling multipliers, and black bars or cropped pixels.

This tool is designed for you to fine-tune your display settings for an optimal gaming experience.

Access the Integer Scaling Options Tool here (make your own copy to enable editing)

Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.

Example Use Case: I use this tool to decide which consoles I should integer overscale when playing on my Logitech G Cloud via RetroArch. By inputting the console's original resolution and comparing the scaled outputs, I can easily see which settings will give me full-screen gameplay without excessive cropping or awkward black bars.
