On the RP3+ at least it does offer some good options for android games and ports of games that people have done. It is definitely a good PSP machine, but I definitely could not just set one up and send it out without telling people how to use it and why it launches different apps.

The Android setup took a long time on my Retroid, mainly due to all of the tweaking. I got a Miyoo Mini + afterwards and it was so much simpler that I may stick to more Linux oriented handhelds, or ones that dual boot.

Being able to change the OS is the best part of these handhelds so there should be no trepidation over that. Customizing the front end, fixing bugs or the additional functionality that they bring are all big reasons to choose a device over another.

From what I have seen in the Miyoo subreddit there didn’t seem to be any concern with the Plus’ durability, (besides the initial batch with the screens becoming unglued). I don’t baby mine, but then again I try not and drop anything with an LCD screen.
