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

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.

So this looks cool. I went to their website and it said it comes with thousands of games. I guess it’s just loaded with ROMs and it’s a matter of time before they get shut down?

Might need to get one before that. How do you like it? I see it’s running Retro Arch.

I installed onion os like all the beginner guides recommend! Pretty much followed those guides to get set up with onion os + tiny best set roms, w the 64+128gb expansion packs & some ports. Added a few anime films, too, since I had the space available.

I am loving it so far! 11/10 recommend! 👾

Just a heads up the “10,000 in 1” game claims that every of these devices advertises isn’t something you should consider. It’s going to be a lot of games you’ve never heard of for older systems like the NES so they fit on lower capacity SD cards. Potentially in multiple languages. It also comes on SD cards most people would recommend replacing.

It’s better to just download the entire library, individual games, or an already curated collection.

The hardware definitely is worth it. I have one and absolutely love it. Most people just customize it after the fact. I haven’t yet, but plan to. Especially with retro achievements.

These Chinese companies are all over the place, they’re going to have a hard time stopping them all. I have an Anbernic myself, it’s a great little device

Yes, this is not getting shut down, nor should it.

Tho there are more comprehensive collections found online, with proper names (for Miyoo), art, and micro adjustments to their emulators for better performance/look.

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.

Looks good! I got one a couple of weeks ago too. I got the DMG ‘grey’ version but I am a bit disappointed and wish I got the black. Its far more brown than I expected

I found the white one at a local games reseller shop. I wish it were the DMG grey, as that’s what my Miyo Mini is (small size). If you’re near Cleveland, wanna trade?
