Here I’ll be taking a look at the Miyoo Mini handheld, from the same people who brought us the Bittboy, a great value, if a little bit flawed handheld.
How does the Miyoo Mini compare? What is it capable of emulating? How does it perform, and is it worth the price?

You’ll also discover what the Miyoo Mini comes with as well as how to set it up, back it up, update the stock firmware to the latest version, as well as some of the alternative custom firmware available for it.

Verdict
While not the most powerful system around it certainly seems to punch above it’s weight. Everything up to and including PSX plays well. and while there may be some PSX games that it might struggle with, I didn’t come across them in testing. Yes, the lack of thumbsticks is going to rule out playing a number of PSX games, and you can forget about anything above PSX, such as Dreamcast, but what the Miyoo Mini does do, it does very well. It’s truly pocketable and fantastic value for money if you can pick one up at $50 – $60.
