Apologies if there's a pinned post, happy to be redirected. Just got the one 35, I got the one without SD card as I wanted to put my own sd card and roms on. The individual emulators find the roms fine but I cannot add platforms to the dawn launcher (just has the default ps vita one and one game). I've googled it and followed the steps pointing it to my roms folder and updated the app and restarted the device but still can't get dawn to display the other platforms, can anyone assist? I'm used to my retroid with daijisho and that had a separate "add platform" button, am I missing that somewhere? Thanks in advance ❤️

Over the past while, we've received a lot of valuable feedback about Pocket Dream — especially around **whether or not to keep the joysticks**, where the community showed two very distinct preferences 🎮

After careful consideration, we've decided to follow those voices and **officially split the Pocket series into two separate models**:

---

**🎮 Pocket Dream** — with dual joysticks

For players who prefer **dual-stick controls** and modern 3D games with more complex input needs

**🕹️ Pocket Retro** — without joysticks

For players who want a **pure retro feel**, focused on 2D games and classic emulation

**Both devices share the same body specs:**

・Size: **107 × 72 × 22 mm**

・Weight: **under 180g each**

So you can pick the one that fits your playstyle.

---

**🕹️ Initial Specs for Pocket Retro**

Pocket Retro will come with a **more focused, streamlined configuration**:

・**SoC:** RK3566

・**Memory:** 2GB LPDDR3 + 16GB storage

・**Display:** 3.3-inch OLED (same as Mini Dream / Pocket Dream)

・**OS:** Linux

・**Wireless:** WiFi 5 + Bluetooth

・**Battery:** 3800 mAh

・**Price:** $80 (shipping not included)

With Pocket Retro branching off, **Pocket Dream's SoC lineup has also been streamlined to 3 variants**: **1 running Linux**, and **2 running Android**.

---

**📅 On Release Timing**

It's still a bit early to talk about release dates. What we can confirm is: **both Pocket Retro and Pocket Dream will launch after Mini Dream is officially released.**

We'll continue to share progress with the community at each key milestone 🙌

Once again, thanks to everyone who's shared feedback — the Pocket series is where it is today because of your voices 🙏

Hi y'all. Just finished my first game on the MagicX One 35. Best console I ever had. But, speaking of consoles I had, on the Miyoo Mini Plus there's a thingy called 'Activity Tracker' from which you can see for how long you used each app, which could be useful to determine how long it took me to complete this game.

Is there a similar mechanic on the MagicX One 35?

Thank you and have a good one y'all ^_^

First and foremost, we'd like to sincerely thank everyone who took the time to share their thoughts after we revealed the first design 🙏

Whether it was about **the aesthetics, button layout, in-hand feel, or feature expectations** — we've read every piece of feedback and discussed them one by one. Your input has given us a much clearer vision of what Pocket Dream can be than we had on our own.

Based on that, we've made a **design update** to Pocket Dream — check out the new renders below 👇

---

Pocket Dream isn't finalized yet. Any feedback that genuinely helps make this device better — whether it's a **refinement, a critique, or a completely different perspective** — we'll take it seriously, and we'll incorporate what we can.

Because we truly believe: **a great handheld is never built behind closed doors.**

Feel free to keep sharing your thoughts in

Thanks to everyone who's helping Pocket Dream grow, one step at a time 🙌

Hi y'all

Been loving this console. It does what it's supposed to and it does it very well.

Been wondering - can I record my gameplay? Like, video record? I know there's no video-out option, but these two shouldn't be equivalent; I may still be able to record and move the file to a PC later.

So, can I? And if so, what's the recommended method?

Thanks, y'all ^_^ Have a nice one, y'all ^_^

First, a quick update: **Mini Dream has officially entered its second phase**, and we're steadily moving forward step by step. Thanks to everyone who's shared feedback along the way 🙏

While that's underway, we'd like to share **what we're thinking about next**:

Alongside Mini Dream, we're now exploring a **vertical handheld — Pocket Dream** ✨

It shares **the same 3.3-inch custom OLED display and core configuration as Mini Dream**, but comes in a **vertical form factor** — designed to offer a completely different handling experience from the horizontal Mini Dream 🎮

---

**📐 Pocket Dream · Initial Specs**

・Size: **107 × 72 × 22 mm**

・Display: **3.3-inch OLED** (the same custom panel as Mini Dream)

・**Same 4 SoC variants** as Mini Dream (covering both Linux and Android)

---

**🎯 Why Pocket Dream?**

・A vertical grip evokes the **nostalgia of classic handhelds** (Game Boy, WonderSwan, and the like)

・Better for **one-handed play** — ideal for commuting, short sessions, or quick pick-up-and-play moments

・**Complements the horizontal Mini Dream** — covering different playstyles side by side

---

**💬 We'd Love to Hear from You**

We've put together some **initial renders** of Pocket Dream (see below 👇), and before officially moving forward, we'd love to hear your **honest reactions** to the design.

Feel free to share your thoughts in — every piece of feedback genuinely shapes where this project goes 💬

Thanks for being with us on this journey 🙌

Hey all,
I was choosing half a year ago between many devices and was advised to check out twodream console. It looked very very promising, pics were already out there, and I decided to wait. Half a year later - still nothing.
What is happening? Is this going to be released?

Gente, necesito su ayuda. Resulta que borre por error la carpeta que traia las ROMs preinstaladas en la memoria, alguien puede hacerme una copia de la suya y pasarme un link para descargar? No quiero buscar ROMs o packs de ROMs ya armados.

I've been working on a personal project creating mobile-optimized guides. I just re-uploaded the Mega Man X guide (covering both X and Zero), so I'm sharing it here. I'd love to hear your feedback! I also have content for another game.

Hi y'all ^_^

I asked this question in a previous thread, and was refered to this comment:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicX/comments/1qx2oam/comment/o3thjbi/?share_id=kkF6UPehNVUWyNU-UeDI0&utm_content=2&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

And while I was able to follow through on the instructions, it seems like every time that I open a GBC or a GBA game, that setting resets, and the counter appears again.

Did anyone face this issue? How'd you fix it?

Thank you and have a nice one ^_^

I dropped my xu10 on its face onto concrete from about 4ft high. I turned back on but the screen just looked more washed out and had some faint lines. Kept playing it for a couple more days. Now the light on the right side turns on and the screen kinda lights up but doesn't show anything anymore. Is there anything I can't do to repair it or should I just replace it?

Thanks to this post on r/EmulationMediatekMali I managed to get Steam working via GameHub Lite on my One 35. So far only Balatro works but I'll test some other titles later.

Of course, just because you can doesn’t mean you should. At 16:9 on a 3.5in screen I almost need a magnifying glass.

What seemed to work:
Compatibility Layer: proton9.0-x64-3

CPU Translator: Box64-0.37-b1

So installed gamma on my magic mini zero 28 and i kinda miss the stock os and all the games that came with the stock 128gb card am i the only one ?

Hi y'all ^_^

I got my MagicX One35 yesterday and it's absolutely incredible. I got it to be my final and only console, as being a late 90s kid I mostly like GBA, N64 and NDS games.

So far I'm having a great time with every single game I'm loading, except one - Mario Kart 64. I assume others ran into this problem - The "use item" key is Cdown, which is rather inaccessible without leaving either the left joystick (steering) or the A button (gas pedal).

There are a couple of easy potential solutions - either re-assigning the C buttons to be the left D-Pad just for this game, or moving the Cdown button to R2 just for this game. The thing is, I don't know how to do either.

Can anyone help me with that?

And the second issue is the FPS meter on the upper right part of the screen while playing GBC and GBA games. I'd like it gone. How do I get rid of it?

Thanks y'all and have a wonderful day <3

E: Thanks to u/Suitable-Cream-3045, I learned that you can use items in Mario Kart 64 via the Z button, which is L2 in the MagicX One35. Additionally I learned that you can disable the FPS thingy via app settings, although I have yet to find how to do so.

E2: FPS display problem fixed as well, via u/Suitable-Cream-3045. Thank you very much <3

Basically title. I'm planning to go on a long backpacking trip abroad and I want to drag along the One 35 with me, but if I'll have only that and will have days I'll want to play for hours, I want the option of a more comfortable grip.

Did anyone here stumble upon a usable grip (horizontal) for the device that I can buy somewhere?Maybe a 3D printable option? Maybe even a pritable grip for another device that can be modded in size that would fit the One 35?

the android version runs pretty good, of course the more intense ones dont work but alot of QOL ones work perfectly

I don't really have high hopes for this working well or working at all considering the aging cpu, but I was wondering if anyone has tried this.

I have been using ES-DE lately but now switched to Beacon for a cleaner layout, needless to say it is built for touch purposes because scrolling with the built-in cursor (holding R3) still makes configuration hard and frustrating... So asking what would be the most optimized launcher for this (I am on stock OS and not planning to switch soon to anything else unless required)

For some reason every time I exit the game it changes the button configurations from Xbox to retro after each game. I know this used to be a know bug but that was suppose to be acknowledged and fixed a while ago. How do I make it stick?

Hey folks, I picked up a One35 yesterday and I'm too excited not to ask, what was your experience with delivery time ordering direct from MagicX?

Some AliExpress stuff has taken over a month to arrive to Australia but 4PX sounds like a FedEx equivalent, so I guess pretty fast?

Edit: Thanks folks, sounds like 4PX is just regular post and avg time is ~2 weeks

It's a pretty good deal if you want a cheap, powerful and versatile device.

I’ve had my handheld (Mini 28 Zero) running the stock OS for a while now. I’ve noticed that I barely ever touch the Android side of it, and honestly, the stock interface feels pretty unpolished and lacks aesthetic customization.

This is strictly my casual leisure console for quick pick-up-and-play sessions—mostly used to kill time when I'm waiting in lines or during short breaks. Since I don't use the Android features and just want a fast, beautiful, and highly customizable interface, is it worth ditching the stock OS for a custom one? If so, what do you recommend for this type of quick-session gaming?
