@Retro Handhelds nah to be honest I love the simplicity of the XX OS. Takes me a second more not having shortcuts when it comes to saving/loading but what's that in the grand scheme of things when playing a game for hours? The extra systems on onion/garlic are great but I have the + when I want that. Also skins are cool but really .. as with all systems the meat is playing and enjoying the games and for me personally I've had a flawless experience with the XX on stock OS. (And if I want the lists and pictures to be 100% I can and still have to do the same work to get it right in Onion as I do the XX OS.)

I find the performance comparisons to be a little downplayed in this comparison IMO. The 35XX isn't just a little bit more powerful. It has double the CPU cores, I believe double the memory and an actual GPU which the MM+ doesn't have. The MM+ not having a GPU keeps it from ever doing gaming more than PS1. What Onion offers is all that the MM+ will ever have. The software options for the 35XX are still developing and people are already emulating more powerful systems and ports that the MM+ will never be able to. To me that is a big selling point if what someone values most is the tinkering aspect of the device. Seeing what a $60 handheld can run on that nice 3.5 inch display.

What I didn't like about the ABXY buttons. They are either all the way in, or all the way out, and distance travelled is high. I am used to backing off button then pinching again.

It makes repeated presses the way I am used to with all other controller difficult.

i feel like the biggest difference is which console's visual aesthetic is more appealing to you. other than that there is basically no difference. if you want a fun mini console get the mm+ and if you want something a little more elegent looking get the rg35xx (i only have the mm+ not the rg35xx but after using the mm i can only imagine this is the biggest difference.)

ppl who are more inclined to lay down and play a game for hours will probably like the rg35xx more bc of the slightly better ergonomics and elegant pretentious visual aesthetic and people who enjoy playing the handheld out and about or pulling it out for 10 minutes every once in a while will prefer the mm+. so rg35xx for hardcore gamers and mm+ for more casual and laidback fun.
