I've learned to lower my expectations with the Anbernic RG35XX when it comes to playing PICO-8 and TIC-80 games. Lots of them are fine, but some either run super-slow, or get errors when they run.
The ones that do work definitely work well, so I just need to focus on those.
(To be fair I didn't even know about PICO-8 or TIC-80 when I got it, so those are all just bonus games.)
Similar to #GarlicOS on the #RG35XX, OnionOS uses the fake08 retroarch core for PICO-8. Whilst it is unofficial, and will not have perfect compatibility, it's my preferred way to run PICO-8 because it's Open Source.
I’m having way too much #RetroGaming fun with this Miyoo Mini+. Installed #OnionOS this morning which adds so many useful features. Nice theme switcher where I found a fave, which you can see in the video.
Also got hooked up with RetroAchievements, a website that creates and tracks achievements in these old #videogames. This was $70 well spent and I’m just getting started! (Literally… with the original Legend of Zelda)
The official release of version 4.3.0 has finally arrived. Featuring much anticipated support for the DraStic Nintendo DS emulator. There's also support for the new 560p screens of the Miyoo Mini v4 and lots of bug fixes.
Having some time off from work has meant that I have a little extra time for video games. A couple of my favorites have been #BlasterMaster and #TripWorld.

Saw the #miyoominiplus at @revengeday and had to buy it.
I really like it. Nice display and the third party OS #onionos is well made.
I'm thinking about to replace the wifi module with USB interface (never seen one before) to get bluetooth for my headphones.
