Finally got it all set up just how I want it, sorta. Thinking of getting some button mods to make it more unique ◾️

Good luck controlling the camera

Yeah, but it’s not like camera control is great with an N64 or any other controller either.

OnionOS changed my entire mindset about what a retro handheld should be. I have an Anbernic 351m, Retroid 3+, and now a mini.

The mini, despite being technically inferior is by far my favorite because of OnionOS. Being able to turn it on, have it start right where I left off, and then ignore it and it completely turns itself off- not sleep makes it so easy that I play it all the time.

Retroid means Android which means it sleeps instead of powering off. And fill power on is slow. And configuring a Game Front End is always extremely time consuming.

Onion just works. If they added a single Thumbstick to the Miyoo, it could handle N64 and I wouldn’t need anything else.

Definitely waiting for the Miyoo A30 to get Onion.

Maaaaaaaaaaan, I installed OnionOS on my Mini+ a few weeks ago. Imported half of my roms (still working on it), and then literally 3 days after I did that, OnionOS has an update. Since the Mini+ has wifi, I should be allowed to just say “Update over wifi”, and that’s the only step. Make sure you have a charged battery, press update, and let it go.

Not sure I’ll manually update until there’s something major. I’m not going through the effort to go from 4.3.0 to 4.3.1.

I mean, update if there is a major new function you would like (or a bug that bugs you).

Its not like it needs security updates.

Also, hmm, never even connected mine to any wifi.

Playing Mario 64 with a d-pad is just as bad now as it was on the DS

I didn’t remember it being that bad on the DS, isn’t there a way to smooth turn with the touch screen?

Yes and it’s also terrible. It goes without saying really

Yep, and there is no excuse when an R36S keeps dropping to like $30 on AliExpress. It plays beautifully on that with the analogue stick and proper GPU.

The Miyoo Mini is a great device but SM64 is not its strong suit. Even the RG Nano has a better port.
