Dude, you are pumping content like a crazy man.
Everyday a new 30min video.
You are the Anbernic of video creation.

[VladNerd]

Holy PortMaster Grail, this video will be useful to so many.

Quick correction, for render96 on muOS you can install all of the enhanced stuff but the audio. An audio fix is coming, I'm working on it now, but it requires us to change the entire audio backend

Edit:I'm corey from the muOS team.

Russ, you're seriously such a blessing to this community man.

i hope you are not burning out man, appreciate all the contents being pushed out

[joelwill]

This is so well timed. I've been spending the last two days trying to get some games to work on my 35xxh

[Anomaly]

This is by far the earliest I have been to a retro games corps video. Thanks for the guide, I have been waiting for this!

[danuellanderson]

hey russ, talking from brooklyn here. you’ve played a big part in my retro gaming life and since the start of it I have been watching your videos even on devices I didnt plan on getting just because of the in depth and in detail guides and videos you consistently upload. I just want to aay I appreciate you. I’ve recently just got the miyoo a30 and i’m not sure if portmaster is there but im still very interested as to what games you would recommend on it. Also unrelated to this video, can you make an updated review on the miyoo a30 which spruce os, it brings the device to the level of the miyoo mini plus and I feel your opinions on it wouls change a lot. Thank you for everything Russ, keep being you and know you are truly a blessing. 🙏🏾❤️

_The_ reason I transitioned to the RG35XX Plus with MuOS from my original RG35XX (with GarlicOS 1.4.9) was because of PortMaster and the ability to play AM2R and Undertale in my pocket. Sure, an Android device can play AM2R just fine, but TMNT Shredder's Revenge? Makes me wonder if something like Mega Man 11 might make its way on here.

This is _crazy_ levels of cool. You get all the main benefits of the dawn of video games through about the early 2000's on this thing, some devices further (like Nintendo DS and PSP games).

And with the generation of GameCube, PS2, Wii, and 3DS now available in the $150 space and lowering with every year, we are getting closer and closer to the most ideal gameplaying device of all time.

The guide I've been waiting for! Thank you Uncle Russ!

[IAMGIAGOMO]

Was literally trying to figure this out yesterday and you upload a video. You're the goat.

[Wildlander]

You are a legend and a treasure Russ. Thank you for everything you do!

[benclark]

Always love your videos sir! Then this one I see the "mewithoutyou" shirt and have a whole new level of comradery.

[powerhound]

Wish the Miyoo Mini was supported. Great video as usual Russ.

[robbinwolfe]

Your ability to document your processes in addition to making video content needs to be commended. I bet your cookbook experience is coming in handy!

[danielbuhr]

The format and quality of your narration got me to insta sub. You are doing a great job and we appreciate the tips.

I bought the Trimui SmartPro for 50 bucks and it was a hell of a deal.

[tiberiumist]

Thank you Russ! Waiting for video with a ports from pc to android :)

[retrolunchtime]

Best part of the vita was the indie games, PortMaster gives me that on every device

[tranquocthanh]

This guy is God-sent. Respect for all the awesome content Russ

I really have to say: i am mostly watching your videos as entertaining….I rarely really want to decide on a new handheld or anything or I dont even want to use some thing you show in a tutorial but still I watch these videos of yours as I think you are really a fun human beeing and it is easy to like your video style. I guess it just kind of relaxes me xD still really good content and when it comes to Odin 2 and Miyoo mini plus I actually found this channel
