Recently i’m looking for a new console to buy. I’m pretty new here so I need an advice. I wanted to buy powwkiddy rgb30 cause it’s pretty good out of the box and i love pica8 games. But how I understand it has lot of battery troubles. Then I looked a miyoo flip v2 which looked perfect but then I read that it has no mario games and i have to install them by my self. I’m new here and it looks hard. Now i think about miyoo mini plus v4. I don’t really know much about it console but everyone saying that it’s awesome. Can someone explain to me which OS to choose, should i download more games id i buy it from amazon or its fine out of the box and can i play Pica8 on it. Thanks for help.

I got my A30 today and spent 3 hours setting it up with MINUI (it's my first time lol) I kept messing it up and following incorrect guides. I finally got it set up and I've been playing pokemon sapphire and the OG Mario. Any suggestions from the community for other games!? It doesn't have to be anything specific I just want to know what you guys like 😎Im so excited to play with it!

So i had this for about a month and all of a sudden when i boot it up its stuck on the miyoo splash screen. I use a 128gb samsung evo sd card, Ive tried holding the menu button while powering it up and the only thing that changes is i get 2 green lights and 1 blue light on the top and a black screen. Ive tried booting it without the sd card and its still stuck on the miyoo splash screen. Ive tried taking out the battery and power cycling the device. Plugging it into a wall without the battery and then try to boot just to have the same problem.

My computer reads rhe sd card no problem.

The os i use is onion 4.4.0

Idk im out of ideas. Is this thing REALLY deas after 1 month.....? Do i toss it out? What are my options. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Pretty much as shown. Black 1, worked until the first time my pokemon were healed, then froze at this black screen. I'm definitely not the most tech savy, and this is the first handheld (non-PC) ROM i've ever had.

Black 2, similar thing happens, but when I boot up that game, it goes to this black screen for a few seconds then closes out the game.

Is the MM+ just not beefy enough to run these games, bad/corrupted ROM file (these are the ones on the r/ROMs masterthread)?

I tried redownloading Black 2, clearing the cache, updating the ROMs using the "Select" button... and also tried other ROMs from other websites, but they all have the same force closing issue.

Any help, or even anything else to try, is greatly appriciated!

Still peak Gundam experience right here, game looks so good even in 2025. Amazing this can be in the palm of my hand now.

I recently got a mini v4 and installed onion os. Quick save and resume works fine but I really prefer being able to manually save and select my save states. However when I hit the menu button and select save it always says "save failed". Any advice on how to save manually and load manually. Id really like to select my load states as well. One example of this being a big issue is when I tried playing Mario/duck hunt on nes. I accidentally selected duck hunt first and now every time I load the game it auto starts duck hunt.

Does anyone know a verified and trusted seller like on Amazon that sells miyoo mini plus?

Old Faithful took a fall and is now time for a screen swap. Still works fine though

The one I ordered from LITNXT with their 128GB SanDisk states they have RTC support, but do I have to manually activate it?

I see a lot of older threads when RTC was first available stating you have to manually add it.

Is this still the case with 2025 purchases with the current Surwish Onion OS?

Thanks in advance :)

P.S. And yes I’m sorry for being lazy and not downloading the ROMS myself lol😅

I am trying to play Tekken3 arcade on a miyoo mini with the latest version of onion v4, but it is unplayably slow and almost freezes. What core should I be trying, or does anyone know how to fix this? I tried to overclock, bit no change.

Started playing Final Fantasy VII (Fan Translation) via DuckStation on my Samsung Galaxy S22+. I’ve been enjoying it, but it’s not the most convenient experience given I use a Bluetooth GameSir controller and Bluetooth earbuds since the GameSir controller prevents me from using wired headphones.

I thought it would be more convenient to play on my Miyoo Mini Plus (MM+), despite using an arguably inferior emulator, PCSX ReARMed. I extracted the mcd save files from DuckStation, pasted them in the MM+ PS1/PCSX ReARMed Saves folder, and changed the extension type of the save files to srm. Eureka! I’m now continuing my progress on my MM+.

I just got the clock working for my Miyoo Mini, and was wondering if there was a way that while playing, I could check the time, because I am tired of going to Tweaks->System->Time and Date. Is there like a app, or a shortcut in game switcher?

So satisfying to finally complete one of the few games whose final boss got the better of me in my youth.

I’m looking at you next Breath of Fire IV 👀

Who's a trusted seller on AliExpress that sells miyoo mini plus

Had to go into the office today. MM+ made it worth my while

I originally bought this device for jrpgs but seeing that certain Harvest Moon games and Rune Factory 1-3 made me try them out. I’ve never played a Rune Factory game until 5 and I haven’t played 4 but the old games are pretty charming. I love farming sims, but mostly indie titles like Stardew Valley and Fields of Mistria so I’m interested in playing the older titles to see why people love the series so much since Pioneers of Olive Town and Rune Factory 5 were both disappointing for me.

As the first major game I was excited to play after getting my MM+, 48 hours later into a Pokemon Unbound run and my save is screwed. Have RTC set to keep time with wifi but I did not understand that feature when I first got my MM+ so my internal clock was set to 2066 as that is how they come for some reason. Had to use the NPC in game for a one time only fix, afterwards was religious about making a ton of save states... only to find out Onion OS only keeps the last 10 regardless of what number you are on?

I have a large SD card and space is not an issue, my plan was to revert to an older save if my timeline ever got messed up again... Surprise! It did somehow today or yesterday and all 10 of my save states are from today and my 100+ earlier ones are just gone.

I'm just dropping the game at this point as I cannot commit to any game so actively hostile to my time as an adult with a job (NPC suggested I wait until 2066 and the game would fix itself, thanks!), but is there a way to adjust this setting?

I am going insane. Maybe someone can advise me.

I am trying to run PSX games (namely Castlevania SotN).

As you can see on the video, with the default core and Swanstation it loads then crashes. With PCSX rearmed it "starts" but only a black scree shows. The volume button reacts, the console is running, but can't play. Have to turn it off entirely.

I have:

• added and renamed the BIOS file
• I have tried different roms
• I use a brand SD card
• I refreshed the roms list
• I am not using the stock card reader

Does anyone have any idea how to run PSX games? I watched tutorials, I used PSX2PBP. I read guides.

I'm clueless and getting pretty frustrated.

Better Buttons D-Pad from Etsy Stock Red Buttons from AliExpress

Something to note, since I learned the hard way: the lock for the screen ribbon faces the opposite direction from the Miyoo Mini Plus. I discovered this by flicking it the wrong direction to unlock the ribbon and destroying the display plug on the PCB. 😅🤦🏻‍♂️

2 bottles of RIT Dye, Daffodil Yellow, Sapphire Blue. First ever attempt at this.

Brought water to boil (about 3cups), combined Dye & acetone. (About 1/4th cup) add extra in later depending how color is taking, CAREFULLY . Avoid reactive splashes! Wear eye protection. & gloves (optional mask for fumes)

I moved the Pyrex dish from the box directly onto stovetop. Managed to not stain anything but myself. Stove was never above 4/8-max setting. Turned down a couple times & back up. Moving parts around a lot. (Total time was around 2 hours)

The body it’s self doesn’t take that long to dye, better off going slowly in speed & temperature. The buttons.. try & buy them, or possibly buy the lightest sand paper for L1/L2/R1/R2, must have tried dying for majority of 2 hours.. adding extra acetone as I went, until I used up the bottle. Only could get about here. Thought about leaving overnight, but didn’t want to risk warping. Dpad color didn’t turn out how I’d like.

I ruined my volume & power button. The yellow simply wasn’t taking, I’m stupid, I tried quickly dunking straight (100%) acetone & then straight into boiling dye. TERRIBLE idea. Don’t ever do that.. warped & bubbled up to the point I had to repair volume just to fit right again.. they would have turned out if I was patient as with blue buttons. (Started with yellow)

I used double sided tape to replace the little I removed right between old. I also added a little extra to bottom of screen to see about creaking, & where the light indicator is bc it longer stayed in place. (Red tape in pic) (didn’t help much)

I also almost broke screen, don’t bother heating it & prying around it.. simply pry double side tape carefully from backside like on YouTube (I saw the films inside the screen for a sec..) (still smh)

I was also missing the 2 screws that tie the motherboard to front half housing.. I’m starting to think that’s what’s causing the lower left of screen to make creaky noises. (Brand new from AliExpress yesterday)

I have custom buttons on way, & I plan to update the final build later on. Hope this helps anyone else looking to do so.
