MM+ lifespan

Looking into buying the MM+.

I'll use it for retro handheld games, so I think it's more then enough.

What's the lifespan though..?

I think I'll use 1.5 - 2 hours a week.

Normal use, how long before they start to fail..?

Has anyone noticed that the Miyoo Mini V4 is basically absent from AliExpress? What's happening with the V4?

Installing new GBA emulators

Hello everyone 🙂! I wanted to install 2 new GBA emulators on my Miyoo from the installation screen. I selected gpSP and VBA, but when I go back to my emulator screen, they don’t appear even after restarting my console. Would anyone know why? Have a great day everyone 😃

Miyoo Mini v5?

Does anyone know whether the Miyoo Mini is coming back? Has anyone heard anything from Miyoo? The Miyoo Mini V4 can’t be found on AliExpress anymore. I think Miyoo should continue the Miyoo Mini. There is nothing else like it.

Joining the better button gang.

I have to say, the difference is insane. What i don't want to say, i payed around 70€ for my Mini plus and now for the Buttons ( face buttons + dpad and back buttons) with shipping to germany (one week! Insane fast) 80€.

Am I crazy for considering the white one over the black?

Okay so I've been dead set on the black MM+ for a while now. I kinda thought having a black shell would help with the emersion of the game especially when playing at night or honestly anytime.

However, the white one kinda grew on me. I never had a SNES growing up but I think those are famicom colors. but I had an original GB and a purple transparent one as a kid so I'm not considering those colors. But the white one... I'm just a little nervous about it staining over time (have a baby) and the bright white kinda being distracting when looking at the unit.

I did read today about light bleed with the transparent black though... Not sure if it's more of a non issue or is sort of a nightlight blasting from the top of your screen?

Also texture.. Those of you who have the transparent vs. non-transparent which texture is better?

Black one always seems to be more expensive too..

Closer I get to ordering the harder this is.

Collect Retroachievements on the Miyoo Mini (workaround)

I have found a way how to collect achievements on the original Miyoo Mini, even though it has no wifi support
It's all possible because of u/misantronic 's awesome app RAOfflineproxy!

What you need:

Steps:

  1. Setup OnionOS and install the latest version RAOfflineproxy following the instructions on your MM+/Flip
  2. Login with your Retroachievements credentials in Retroarch
  3. Open RAOfflineproxy, start the proxy and enable autostart (open keyboard with X, select the number and then press start)
  4. Start the games you want to collect while online to cache the games or do it manually in the app (currently not available, but it's planned)
  5. Turn off the device, remove the microsd and insert it into your pc
  6. Apparently the MM uses a special build of Retroarch without achievements support, we have to circumvent that now: Go to the ./RetroArch folder on the micro sd, there are several files inside. "retroarch" is the binary for the MM, "retroarch_miyoo354" is the binary for the MM+ (I have no Flip so can't check). Copy the "retroarch" file somewhere safe and then rename it to something else like "retroarch_originalmini". Duplicate (copy and paste) the "retroarch_miyoo354" and then rename the new file to "retroarch". Eject the sd card
  7. You can now plug it into your Miyoo Mini and start the games you cached before. If you did everything correctly, the pop-up like I have in my picture should appear.

Enjoy your games! To sync the achievements to the server, just insert it into the MM+/Flip, connect it to the internet and it should upload the data automatically, if not then start a game.

I hope you enjoy your Mini even more now :)

PS: If techdweeb uses reddit, can someone tag him so he can see this? haha

PS1 ROM installation problem

EDIT : Resolved rename the extension to .img

Good evening everyone! I’m asking for your help because I’m having an issue with PS1 ROMs. Until now, I was using the default Miyoo OS and had my two PS1 games loaded on it, and everything worked perfectly. Since yesterday, I decided to install OnionOS, and since then I can no longer play my PS1 games.

I am correctly placing my two .bin files into the ROM/PS directory, just like I did with the stock OS, but when I go back to my console and launch the PlayStation emulator PSX, no games appear. I do refresh the ROMs once I’m on the console, though.

Could you tell me if I missed something?

Have a great evening everyone 🙂🙂

What's with this Bait and Switch pricing?

Go to aliexpress see the price advertised (Miyoo's listing too btw). So login and this is the price. This is a new account. I find aliexpress friggin exhausting. So many of their listings just always seem like BS. Once you login things magically go up in price. You can have 2 browsers next to each other to compare the listed then logged in price.

MM+ refuses to update or install Onion

I am currently hour #3 in trying to install Onion onto my MM+ with no luck.

What's worse that I am unable to even update the stock firmware. I downloaded the latest firmware, put it into the root directory of my sd card (formated to Fat32), plugged it into power and nowthing. Just goes straight to the "charging" screen. When I hold the power button, it loads into the stock firmware.

The same thing happens when I tro to install Onion, wither through the windows utility or copying the files on the sd card manually.

I am losing my mind, please, somebody help me resolve this.

What’s on your playlist currently?

I cracked open and cleaned my Mini+ as a couple of the shoulder buttons were having an issue, now it’s perfect again. So it’s back to playing some games I love! Just finished Fire Emblem 7 (Blazing Blade) on GBA, now running one of my old classic favorites, Uninvited on NES.

Raise your hand if this game (and this scene in particular) scared the shit out of you when you were young!

MM+ shoulder, face and DPad buttons replacement

After 4 years with my MM+ I decided to do a major upgrade to improve a little bit my gaming sessions.

You can find these buttons on Etsy by searching for “GetBetterButtons”. To be honest these buttons are not cheap, but if you have the money to spend, do it… it’s like night and day.
