The Mini Plus is on sale on AliExpress alongside a bunch of other retro handhelds from and the like. So it might be a good time to grab one :P

I already have the MM+ on my way so yeah...

@joel It's $67.34 Canadian which honestly is a good deal considering it includes free shipping.

@joel The Miyoo Mini Plus. Got an extra 13% discount over the 53usd price using AliExpress coins. Sweet deal.
Thanks for the heads up!

The miyoo mini has the best Linux firmware hence why it's kinda cool for me, it can even run Syncthing which I plan to use for my save files and play both on it and my computer

@joel I’ve lost track of which handheld is which now, I think there’s a new Miyoo (A30) for those who like landscape handhelds. I picked up the Mini Plus after giving away my RP2+ and it’s so damned good for the price. Ported some games to it and added gamepad support to the SDL port, but then got distracted…

joel,
@joel@fosstodon.org avatar

@gadgetoid what do you mean with porting games?

I'm aware it's based on Linux so, what does porting a game means?

I wonder if games can be exported for it

gadgetoid,
@gadgetoid@fosstodon.org avatar

@joel effectively means compiling SDL-based games to run on the arcane media SOC that it uses. Godot might be a little ambitious but there are a few open-source Linux games that have seen native ports. Someone also figured out that the Raspberry Pi build of Pico 8 runs too- so that’s why Onion OS (the community alternate “firmware”) can- I think- also support Pico 8 games now. (I’m haven’t updated for a while!)

@gadgetoid I see! Yes I'm immediately getting Onion OS once mine arrives, I actually got it without an SD card for it to be cheaper but then the offer happened lol
