No store has a current price for this handheld right now.
A pocketable horizontal Linux handheld with a 2.8-inch 640x480 screen, Wi-Fi and a single analog stick.
Handheld systems and 8/16-bit consoles run at full speed; Retro Game Corps needed the CPU overclock for full-speed SNES.
Retro Game Corps found the d-pad prone to accidental diagonals, the screen dim, and Dreamcast too slow to enjoy.
There is no headphone jack or video out; audio over USB-C is mono.

Questions
Can the Miyoo A30 play PS1?
We rate PS1 as some games. Retro Game Corps got full speed in Tekken 3 only with the 1.3 GHz overclock, which shortens battery life and warms the device.
What about N64, PSP and Dreamcast?
N64 and PSP are some games. Dreamcast is unplayable in our ratings: Retro Game Corps measured about two-thirds speed even at half resolution.
How long does the battery last?
Retro Game Corps got 2 to 4 hours, and about 2 hours with the overclock on.
Can I use headphones?
Only through the included USB-C adapter, and Retro Game Corps found the output was mono.
