Thanks for the clear information and instruction! I'm waiting for my Miyoo Mini in the mail and will do this first thing!

Thanks very much mate! Nicely presented video, got the Miyoo Mini last week and am planning to get it setup with Onion soon and see how I like it compared to the RG280v I'm currently using (and really enjoying with the Adam image bar the uncomfortable shoulder buttons). Cheers from Cambridge!

You deserve a lot more views and many many more followers. You make great videos and equally great content. Hope your channel gets a chance to grow more, the time and effort you put into your videos really shows. good luck 👍

I'm glad i saw your video. I just finally got my brand new Miyoo Mini and seriously panicked when I got that Chinese loading screen thinking I'd bricked the thing already!

I had that same weird screen! wow you're the only one I could find with the same problem.

Awesome! Thankyou sir! Great informative vid 👍👍👍

Fantastic video. helped me so much with my new miyoo mini. cheers

Great explanation, thanks for this!

Install onion os and you will see the difference !the original miyoo software is good too ,but with the latest version of onion os you you will elevate your miyoo mini emulation to a higher level, all consoles including ps1 are emulated to perfection, even heavy titles like bloody roar 2 run very well.For snes games use core mednafen supafaust and you will see heavy titles like biometal, starfox, yoshi's island 2 etc ... they will run perfectly, stable 60fps and perfect audio!the latency setting is very important ,put it to 128ms in audio settings ,use oss driver audio with sinc and lower settings in resampler section.With theese settings the audio is perfect .in my opinion the miyoo mini is an extraordinary console, the miyoo hit the mark, definitely the most interesting console of 2022!

I've got Onion OS on my other Miyoo Mini, and they've done a fantastic job with it. I'm also a big fan of Retroarch as well. So Onion OS on the Miyoo Mini should be the perfect combo for me. But it's not. Don't get me wrong, I do like it, but there are a few things that bug me when compared to stock. I love that on stock all I need to remember is one button, the menu button, to get access to everything I need to load, save, quit, and do anything else I need to do with the game I'm playing. With Onion I'm into button combos, and having to remember which they are. A lot of things that are simple on stock on Onion they are multi-step actions, scrolling through options etc. Then there are the save and load states. On Onion (and Retroarch) I'm never sure if I've already saved into a particular slot and regularly end up overwriting mine by accident. On stock I press the menu button, choose save, and I can see thumbnails showing me the save states I already have so I always know instantly where I am. Performance wise, I've not had an issue with stock, but I still need to do more testing on the latest firmware. I agree with you, it is an extraordinary console, and it's great that we can have alternative front ends to cater for every taste. Will you be updating to the latest firmware to use with Onion?

@@RetroGamesWorld Guessing you know about this by now, but you might like MiniUI. It has a lot of the performance advantages but it's focused on being dead simple. Downside is the only official cores are NES / SNES / Genesis / PS1 and the game boys,, although there's some community-made cores as well.

very good video, may i add that i got my miyoo mini recently and it came with the latest update so if any of you got it recently then check before proceding

I'm pretty sure the NERV logo is a custom charging screen to replace the normal green battery one, not sure why that one pops up in a skin that isn't the Eva one though, but it would imply that you had upgraded properly. Odd that your file browser was still in Chinese. Mine wasn't but maybe I didn't look at it until after I swapped to Onion. The menu says "system: select all, select none, disk info, quit." Selecting a folder gives you "# selected: Copy>, Move>, Symlink>, Rename>, Delete>, Disk used"

NEED HELP 😁 .. accidently deleted the stock firmware .. where can I download the original? To then update to onion os .. or do I need to?

Greetings all the way from deep, dark Somerset!

hello I have a question, can you share a backup of the memory card❓because in mine I deleted files by accident

can you maybe do a step by step guide? I'm really scared to brick the console with details like battery or wrong folders... it would be great!

Isn't that what this video covers? I can understand your concern, but honestly it's a straightforward process if you just follow what I did, and more importantly follow the instructions in the text file that I mention in the video. I considered doing a written guide, but the problem is that the update process can potentially change with each release, so I'd be forever having to keep it up to date, and if it was out of date by even a day then potentially I could be giving someone the wrong info to do their update. I figured it is better to show people what is current and explain (as I have in this video) that checking the documentation for the firmware is a good idea, before attempting to install it.

Will this Onion put these roms in the right emulators? They are all over the place. And not easy to find. Plus they really need to add a search roms section too

The links don’t work anymore. Is there another way to get it???

where the heck should i copy the .img file? there's 2 TF folders exactly identical (emu , miyoo, retroarch ,themes update description ).

Can anyone help me? I just bought Miyoo Mini the new version, and I just upgraded the firmware to version 202204190828, after I upgrade the firmware, the microsd that came from the device is corrupt before I could backup it's contents. I use new microsd now and now the problem is the device just wouldn't load any of the game rom that I already put in the rom folders. Can anyone help me what went wrong? what is the correct extension for the game roms to be able to read, for example for playstation one. Thank in advance for the help

I'm a little confused. I thought Onion was an alternative to stock firmware. How do the two work together? I also can't remember the hotkey button combos. Great video!!

Onion is an alternative front end for the Miyoo Mini. It relies on stock firmware to work. Same with the other alternatives. A lot of people (myself included) sometimes refer to them as custom firmware, but they are really just front ends.

What size card are you trying to format? Windows built in format option only allows cards up to 32GB when it comes to FAT32, but if you use a free utility such as GUIformat, or Rufus (the one I prefer) then you can format much bigger cards as FAT32 without the restrictions that Microsoft impose. From what I can remember there was some mention about formatting in the description for the video. You should find a link where to download Rufus in there somewhere.

I don't know if you have seen my video on the Retroid Pocket 2 Plus? My experience to date hasn't been good either with the product, or the company. Although they did actually reply to me last night (after emailing them regularly for the last few months) and have said they will be sending me a new unit out next week, so that's good. It's got huge potential and a great price, if you can get a good one. Worth mentioning though that the RP3 is rumoured to be coming out soon, although it was initially suposed to be January!

Along with mentioning that there is an alternative Google Drive download where the firmware could be downloaded, if you actually need it. My link in the video you were watching was to the official Miyoo site. Miyoo, for some reason, decided to close their web site down.
