Miyoo Mini Flip: a retro console that closes up and goes back in your pocket

A handheld always ends up taking a key scratch across the screen. The Miyoo Mini Flip answers that with its clamshell format: you close it, the panel and the buttons are protected, and it goes back into a pocket. Underneath, a Linux firmware aimed at 2D machines — NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Game Boy and Game Boy Advance.

What it does

• Clamshell format: the screen is protected once the console is closed, with no case or pouch to plan for.
• 2D emulation: 8-bit and 16-bit systems and the Game Boy Advance are its comfort zone.
• Two versions: with a 64 GB microSD card, or without a card if you prefer to prepare your own.
• USB-C charging: the same cable as the rest of your gear.

What it doesn't do

• It doesn't run the heavy 3D machines: PS2, GameCube, Wii, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and 3DS are out of reach. PS1 and PSP depend on the title and are not guaranteed.
• It is supplied without games, in compliance with the law: no ROM is included or preloaded on the card.
• The « Without card » version does not boot as it is: the system lives on the microSD, so you need to prepare one before playing.
• We do not state a screen size: the supplier sheet claims 2.8 inches, the information is not confirmed by the manufacturer and remains to be confirmed.

Compatibility

Systems targeted: NES, SNES, Master System, Mega Drive, PC Engine, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and Neo-Geo / CPS arcade. Outside that: PS2, GameCube, Wii, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DS and Switch. The PS1 and the PSP stay in the grey area — some titles get through, others don't, and we don't promise them. Games are not included: you use your own backups.

Skill level required

No soldering, no disassembly. The 64 GB version arrives ready to boot. The version without a card needs a microSD that you prepare yourself — format it, then copy the firmware from the manufacturer's site: allow about thirty minutes and a card reader.
