I'm excited. It's gonna take weeks but I can't wait. But I have a question:
Whats the SD card quality like? Is it recommended to back up everything and ditch it STAT like on the R36S?
We all know that the hinge on the Miyoo Flip is prone to breaking, even on the V2 version, so I was wondering how difficult it would be to make a custom shell that fits everything into a vertical form factor.
This could be amazing for people who already have a broken hinge, allowing them to keep using their consoles without having to deal with them looking weird or having to glue them back together.
I'm not a 3D modeling expert—or anything close to one—but I really like the concept. I started thinking about it after seeing the unhinged GBA SP.
Hoping to post the STL later. Was surprisingly hard to model.
Since I had to replace the hinge on this device again (I hate the terrible quality control on the Miyoo Flip), I decided to make a custom case featuring one of my favorite characters, Shantae.
Device: Miyoo Flip V2, stuck in maskrom mode after failed GammaLoader/KNULLI install
Chip: RK3566 (confirmed via unpacked firmware)
Tool: rkdeveloptool on Linux
What I've done:
db MiniLoaderAll.bin → succeeds ("Downloading bootloader succeeded")gpt parameter.txt → succeedswlx uboot/boot/rootfs/userdata → all succeed at 100%ul MiniLoaderAll.bin (permanent loader write) → runs, but device still shows as Maskrom afterward, not Loaderrd (reset) → failsJust got a Flip V2 and I’m really happy with it, the ergonomics and button feel are great, and I got the silent hinge version too.
Now I’m deciding which OS to run, and sleep behaviour is my top priority. Specifically:
• Closing the lid actually suspends instead of just turning off the screen
• Resume goes straight back into the game, not a full reboot
• Wake up time in a few seconds
• Minimal battery drain if it sits asleep overnight
I’m on stock right now. For those who have tried other options on the V2: which one handles sleep best, and roughly how much battery do you lose after a night in sleep mode?
Thanks!
Got my Flip V2 today and the screen cuts out unless the hinge is at one specific angle. Screen goes black the second I move it, and it does the same on stock firmware, so it’s not a spruce issue.
It is a nice device though, I’m waiting on support for a replacement.
Hello gamers, just updated my Miyoo Flip with the latest Nextui firmware and setting was able to get Wolfenstein RPG going. Happy gaming =
I notice that the weekly visitors to those particular subreddits (and especially the Anbernic one) are way more active, but I own the RG34XXSP and RG35XXSP and those are permanently shelved.
With SpruceOS it feels like a no brainer? A 4:3 screen and it plays all PSX games, not to mention the great N64 and Dreamcast performance? Most importantly for me, the Nintendo DS performance is great requiring no frame skipping and no crackling audio. Portmaster works just as well if not better? The button are so much better, and the screen quality compared to the RG35XXSP is no contest. I haven't touched my Anbernics since I obtained the Miyoo Flip V2.
I don't get it, what are people doing to the hinges on the Miyoo Flip V2? It seems like that's the only negative, but if you use the case and don't treat it like a disposable toy then the downside is gone?
Hello!
I have had a Miyoo Mini + and it was my gateway drug into the handheld scene. I ended up giving it to a friend after I got a couple of Anbernic devices. I miss my Miyoo, though, and am contemplating getting a Flip v2 or a Mini Flip.
My biggest question is... can either one run Portmaster ports? I'm leaning towards the Flip v2 for the bigger screen size but the Mini Flip is so cute and charming, too.
I'd appreciate any feedback or thoughts/opinions!
(I currently have an Anbernic RG 477M and an RG Rotate)
So, I had a V2 with the dreaded cracked hinge. They sent me a replacement hinge... but between myself and another person, we couldn't get it back to 100%. At first, the screen connector wasn't working, we fixed that... and the joystick or d-pad are stuck always going down. And the menu button is broken. So it's probably time to give up on tinkering more.
Is there any great way to make sure I get a 2.1, and is it worth it? I have a fully setup Surwish SD card and would prefer not to have to start all over, but I don't know if quality control is up to par.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I have been working on the Miyoo Flip branch of NextUI to bring it in line with the other supported devices, and it has now reached feature parity.
For those who don't know, NextUI is a fork of MinUI developed originally for TrimUI devices, which combines advanced features with the simplicity of MinUI. It uses minarch as its main emulator frontend instead of RetroArch, which allows better integration with the system. This pre-release supports all of the features you can expect from NextUI such as:
On Miyoo Flip specifically, most hardware features are supported such as suspend on lid close (including deep sleep), HDMI out, etc.
This can be installed by following the instructions at https://nextui.loveretro.games/getting-started/installation/. For Miyoo Flip specifically however, make sure to use an SD card formatted as FAT32 (not exFAT) with an MBR partition scheme.
I am looking forward to your feedback to find any remaining bug. In case of any bugs, do not report them on the official NextUI GitHub, but on my GitHub or on the official Discord in the miyoo-flip channel.
Edit: There's a new pre-release which allows to reach lower brightness and volume values https://github.com/apommel/NextUI/releases/tag/v6.14.0-rc.2%2Bmy355
First I gotta say that I love this little guy. It gives me so much nostalgia every time I pick it up, I really want to figure out how I can save it.
About a month and a half ago when I booted up, it got to the LitNXT splash screen that I picked out off of their preconfigured Surwish Os card. And it just got stuck on the loading screen. I’ve scrolled through so many posts on this Reddit thread and other message boards trying various things to fix this. At this point, I have deleted the JSON file, Tried to drain the battery, Do a hard reset by pressing menu and power, in the various things on the SD card that could’ve caused it. Lit NXT was amazing enough to send me a new card free of charge that they are positive works. I throw it in and get this exact same situation. It’s leading me to believe it has something to do with the actual hardware, and maybe some kind of kernel getting stuck, but I wouldn’t even know where to start for that.
Any help is invaluable.
So, a friend gifted me his Miyoo flip since he apparently bricked it and bought himself a new one. I'm trying to fix this one, it turns on, shows the boot screen for an instant and then the screen just goes black. The battery lights do turn on an the device charged, currently it has no sd card. It run on gamma os when it bricked. Is there any way to fix it?
Edit: I've already tried both the spruceOS github, connect to the computer thing and it didn't work and also what u/domthybomb suggested, it didn't work either.
Acceptable Playable for me
The option to refresh Roms also isn’t available in the newest version of spruce os. How do I make my MM flip scan the directory and locate and display my ports?
Hi! I see many android port games running very good on the R36s, but i try the dead space port here and won't work, someone tried the latest ports on this device with knulli? (Dead space, mass effect, modern combat 3, nova 3, etc.)
Spruce has come to the RGXX+ series!
I’ve just upgraded and feel like I e got more screen now, maybe I’m wrong. Also how come the folders for games only seem to appear in the emulation station bit?
