Today I should receive a Miyoo mini +. This is my entry to the retro hand-held console world. I heard good things about Miyoo mini but also a few bad. After two months of wait I'm actually quite curious about what I will find here. Feel free to drop comments, advises or experiences that you've already had with this console. :apusheencomputer: :game_boy_advance: :controller8:
If not, it would be interesting to know why. Have you installed something else? Did you stay with the stock OS? Does the idea of changing the OS fill you with trepidation?
@rasterweb has been experiencing an issue with his #Anbernic #RG35XX (running #GarlicOS) where some #PICO8 games generate currupted saves. The game will then not play until he deletes (or fixes) the save....
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.
Received a Miyoo Mini Plus for my birthday a few weeks ago and I've been tuning it to perfection since then.
The fact is that I spend more time faffing about with these kinds of emulation devices than I do playing them.
I installed the preferred OS, OnionOS, refined the list of games to my Best Of, tuned my favourites list and am now scraping artwork for the selection menu.
There's still a bit more to do until it's in optimal running order but it's been fun and distracting getting it this far.
My first hours with the #Retroid Pocket 2S reminded me how easy setting up a #MiyooMini was... Starting from scratch, having to install standalone emulators, doing far more #RetroArch config than any sane human should have to do...
But I finally got there, and ended up withwhat seems like a really nice device. Comfortable to hold, really excellent sticks and triggers, it runs everything up to #Dreamcast and #PSP really well, and even a few #Gamecube games.

"Miyoo has showcased its Game Boy Advance SP-inspired retro gaming handheld. Launching later this year after the Miyoo A30, the Miyoo Mini Flip will feature a flip-up display, two joysticks and enough power to emulate up to PlayStation 1 games."
much too slow story - enemies don't feel dangerous, story sounds okay but develops too slow
I don't even feel like like the different combat is nearly the worst problem - would have expected that (love tripple-tech, hate real time combat like zelda)
Now that DraStic (Nintendo DS) official support has been added to Onion OS, with version 4.3.0, check the expected performance of your favourite games at the linked compatibility list.
Syncthing is available just about everywhere and keeps folders in sync between devices. I've just spent a few days getting this configured on my devices and it works (mostly) great!

Has anyone not installed Onion OS on their Miyoo Mini or Mini Plus?
If not, it would be interesting to know why. Have you installed something else? Did you stay with the stock OS? Does the idea of changing the OS fill you with trepidation?
Does anyone here play much PICO-8 on their Miyoo Mini (Plus)?
