The Miyoo Mini Plus became a cult classic for good reason. It slips into a pocket, costs almost nothing, and pairs a lovely 3.5-inch 4:3 IPS display with the outstanding OnionOS custom firmware. It is purely a sprite-era machine — GBA, SNES, Genesis and lighter PS1 titles are the ceiling — but as an everyday carry for classic 2D gaming it remains an easy recommendation.
