Miyoo Mini Flip with custom holster. At the ready at the first sign of boredom. LOL.

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:

• A microsd running the latest beta version Onion V4.4.0-beta-20260120 of OnionOS
• A Miyoo Mini+ or Miyoo Mini Flip
• A pc

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

Went with the clear body, black d-pad, A/B buttons, and side rails. Went white r/L buttons and power switch.

Bonus points if you can guess the game playing

I’ve been trying for months to get a few ports to work. This one was my top 3 that I’ve been wanting to work and i finally got it done last night before bed!

Looking for a recommendation to upgrade from my RG35XX plus to. Here’s what I’m looking for:

Bigger screen than my current 3.5”.

Only will play gba and older. No ps1 or n64 necessary.

Don’t care about analog sticks.

Easy to use OS. Want to hand it to my kids and them not need to know secret button combinations to get back to a menu screen to pick a new game.

Dont really care if it’s vertical or horizontal.

What would everyone recommend??  Thanks!

With the right settings my R36S handles Ratchet & Clank and GTA Vice City pretty darn well for $25, but struggles with Star Wars Lethal Alliance. I don't mind low quality but 6 fps isn't sexy enough for this Twi'lek 🍑. 😅 Has anyone run this game on a cheap ahh handheld with any degree of playability? ​Not looking for 60 fps or anything fancy but also not looking to drop a Benjamin. TIA!

Hey 👋

I’m looking for a new handheld.

I’m a big Pokémon fan and I’d like to run through the whole collection again, but I also want a device that can handle a wider range of systems.

What I need it to run:

Nintendo DS
PSP
Nintendo 64
GameCube
PS1 & PS2 (not a must, it will be nice if doesn’t break the bank)

Preferences:

-Performance over everything else
-Easy to use / not overly complicated setup
-GameShark / cheats support is a plus but not required
-I don’t care about form factor or design

I’m mainly trying to figure out what the current best option is for this kind of performance range.

Thank you 🙏

So I came across this thing for 20.52$ on tik tok and kinda decided screw it, if I get scammed they have a decent refund policy and it’s 20$. while I was waiting for it to arrive I kind of realize that it barely exists anywhere? Searching for it turns up a couple short Chinese videos of someone touching it briefly, but I can’t find anything substantial on it and google search results quickly turn to showing you results about a g36 gun.
So I’m like half sure I’m getting scammed when exactly what I ordered actually arrives, and seems to function just fine for a couple boots before I got screwed by the cheap micro sd card and now it refuses to get past the boot splash screen having to be powered off with a sim tool. Essentially leaving me with a glowing brick because no one seems to have one of these except the sellers.
I’d really like to actually use this thing, though I do have other options, the buttons are kind of meh, but it’s an aluminum alloy frame and acrylic backed so it feels pretty nice to hold. The stock os looked underwhelming, but like I could’ve at least played some pokemon 😂
I guess I’m trying to see if anyone has one with a working operating system or at least knows what’s really inside it

Edit: I grabbed a more reliable 64gb card to clone the original to just so I have a backup and so I can try messing with things. During this I learned that the original was lying about its size and is only 16gb.
After running recovery on disk genius I’m looking through the files and found out the chipset. The G36 apparently has a RockChip rk3506 in it possibly the B variant because the whole string says rockchip_rk3506_b_35004_sd_defconfig

Hello Gamers,
I came up with using my laptop fan to cool down the Brick running hot with Knulli Glad2 patching for Dead Cells. Here it also is running on MuOS Funky Jacaranda on the TSP. Happy Gaming.

Just another question came in my mind that everyone is talking about the use cases of dual screen but I feel no one really considered FHD content on THOR.

Thanks of developers that they developed amazing frontends and plugins to make the device more versatile and fun to use.

I am thinking lound and questioning why no one is talking about FHD content support for Netflix and other platforms, why no one developed a FHD content plugin specially for Netflix.

If you know a way to run FHD content please drop a comment.
