I love the system and recently got an analogue pocket. I'm hoping Miyoo releases a version with a similar height as the analogue pocket. If they do, it might be the best handheld with that form factor.
@@giftsonjac I brought it off eBay. Basically a pre-owned black version in great condition with a 32gb sd card for $360 shipped. I bought it after being unsuccessful in getting a transparent one off their site.
last month the Plus was available at Aliexpress for 43€ I snagged the transparent black even though I already have a RP2S already. I like to try out new systems.
Just ordered a miyoo mini plus a few days ago. My first emulation handheld. I'm super excited and absolutely blown away by what these tiny devices can do nowadays.
@@joshhawes1899 I ordered from one of the links that this TH-cam put in his community tab. He does a pretty good job of posting links to good legit deals. I ordered from BITTBOY on Amazon and paid $66. My order took about 4-5 days to arrive.
This is incredible, has to be the smallest handheld that does DS now Had to go bust out my original Mini and it's the real deal! Can even handle fast forward in RPGs, it's so good
I’ve actually seen people put drastic on the mini and it runs games like Mario and Pokémon just fine on the mini. I was actually considering giving it a go
Sat down with a fresh cup of tea and a snack for this one, was not disappointed! Thanks for the consistently great content. I was happy with my miyoo mini plus when I first got it, its really incredible for the developers of onion OS to be making it better and better.
I finally pulled the trigger on the MM+ a week ago after strongly considering an RGB30, largely because of Pico-8. Ecstatic to know it's now on the Plus!
I didn't even know retro handhelds were a thing a year ago. Now thanks to Russ I have 4 😂. What a thing it is to relive childhood memories in the palm of your hand. Already got my brothers and friends hooked showing them the mini+.
Russ, thank you for the smooth instructions on NDS. I haven't decided on the Pico 8 or not but the latest Onion update already had it pre-installed. If you guys are having issues on why your game list on the NDS doesn't show up automatically after moving the appropriate files in the folders, just refresh the ROM list in the NDS and it'll pop up. Thanks again for being awesome, Russ!
I own a Miyoo Mini Plus, an Anbernic RG353V, a R36S (rg353v clone) and another cheaper V90 from Powkiddy. Out of all these devices, I always tend to pick up the Miyoo Mini Plus, the gaming experience is SO SATISFYING compared to the others. Yes the RG353V and its R36S clone have better hardware, especially a better screen, but the smaller size of the Miyoo Mini Plus, and especially the Onion OS with game switcher is the best feature any handheld could have for retro gaming. The ''automatic saves states'' in other devices dont even compare with the usefulness of the Game Switcher, and also the fact that you can turn off the Miyoo Mini with 1 button and turn it back on and resume your last game instantly...It's SAD that no other OS seem to have Game Switcher mode ...why is it so hard to put that into other OS ?? JelOS, ArkOS DEVs, are you listening??!!
I'm sure that it will come :) All we made in Onion is open source, which doesn't mean that it is easy to reproduce in another OS but means that it is possible to check how it works to port it elsewhere. Our ideal is the collaboration between retrogaming projects, thanks to XK we even have some commits in Retroarch itself, :) We also collaborate with gpSP author, KMFD for the cores and even EmuDeck :)
Funnily enough, I greatly enjoy everything about Onion OS *except* the Game Switcher.... I really wish there was an option to bind the Menu button to, you know, a simple menu like Allium OS does, and not have the system heavily rely on combo buttons shortcuts and constant use of auto save states, which don't always behave well with every core
Dudeeee ds support is the one thing i felt this device was missing. I loved it to pieces but ds games were the things i wanted play most. Thanks russ appreciate it!
I just wanted to note that the "Easy Netplay" option no longer requires it to be selected for installation in the Package Manager. It's directly integrated in the GLO menu (the menu that pops up using "Y").
Thank you so much for this tip, I couldn't find easy netplay listed under the apps and had 4.3.0 and was pulling my hair out what i have left trying to find a solution! 👍
Unfortunately, after 2 days of testing, I have to conclude that although the DS emulation works in principle, it's a bit of a pain to run and you can clearly see that drastic still needs to be correctly embedded in OnionOS and a few bugs need to be fixed. First of all, games do not start where they left off when the Miyoo Mini is switched off, as is the case with other consoles. You have to save manually, which wouldn't be so bad (you're already so spoilt by the other functions and safestates can also help a bit), but when I switch the device to standby mode and then back on again, it jerks without end. All in all, though, kudos to the developers and thanks to the channel for spreading the good news.
Same lol I bought 2 of these for my siblings for Christmas, and have been trying to set it up so they have the best experience (they arent super tech-savy) (Btw i love your pfp)
Pretty cool that you can download from Pico-8 games directly from the internet on the device. It takes a lot of time to curate your own ROM library. If that option eventually comes out for other emulation platforms that would be amazing.
Russ, you have finally convinced me on buying a miyo mini + I’ve been an ambernic guy for retro devices thank you! For your helpful descriptive videos 🤙🏽
I totally used this to get Pico 8 on mine. thanks! I think I'm convinced to try the DS thing next. Another video made it clear you can still play many games without the touchscreen being a thing.
I was debating to buy or not one of those this week, it checked all the boxes but I wasn't sure of it because I've been wanting to play some DS games for a long time. I think now its a must!
I love the onionOS environment and I love the screen and quality of the buttons on the MM+ but I just don’t find vertical handhelds comfortable. If they ever do make the horizontal Miyoo I may have to get that also
Vertical handhelds and horizontal handhelds fill different niches. The vertical handhelds are amazing for very old school retro systems like Gameboy, but a bit crampy for something like a Playstation, which usually requires longer okay times and deeper jrpgs. Ideally, I'd love one of each.
I bought one today because of the Black Friday sale. I am stoked to get my hands on this thing. As a newcomer to emulation this video is super helpful so thanks for that 🙏🏻
I swear the more of your Miyoo mini plus videos I watch the more I want 1, although, I just want to say thanks so much Russ, thanks to you I finally bought my Powkiddy X55 at the end of September, and I finally got it last week, and I'm loving it... So any chance you'll do a update on Powkiddy X55...
Finally got time to watch, great video Russ & thanks for covering both DS and Pico-8. The team's working super hard to get DS integrated and then hopefully we'll work on integrating Pico-8 👍.
I hope Miyoo is giving you some sorta kickback because every time you post one of these videos I want to pick one of these up. Eventually I’ll cave, maybe a self gift this holiday season, such a cool little device. I just really wish the mini+ came in the ice blue that the mini came in
You are the best man!! The only one i trust with my devices on any level!! And there are lot of other good people but you are special dude!! I love how even the developers vouch for you to teach us thats is so cool!! Just did my update successfully following your steps and im about to have so much fun and its thanks to a lot of hard working people doing stuff with love and im so grateful❤ thanks man
Thank you so much for this guide! I just got a Miyoo Mini Plus for pico-8 and downloaded the latest version of the wrapper but I was so confused after that! The newest version does not have a bin folder. Thanks to your guide I am finally playing pico-8 on hardware and it feels so good compared to playing pico-8 on my phone.
I have really come to love my MM+ and this just puts the cherry on top of an already great experience. I'm very excited to dive into some DS era games on this system.
Finally took the plunge and bought myself one. My niece is fascinated by my collection of gameboys and old pokemon carts so this will be a great gift for her to try all the games from my childhood all on a handy device
Love your videos but I want to say THANK YOU specifically for briefly showing Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity on screen. I had NO IDEA this could run in ScummVM! Can't wait to play endless 'Hock-a-Loogie' on my Miyoo Mini Plus.
I love Pico-8. I run several versions. Feeling for that Miyoo Mini Plus device to test my own creations there as well. I have the PocketCHIP license too, but I killed the device and moved onto Raspberry Pi devices.
I hope for an RG35XX video in the future! Mine comes in the mail soon and already loved that it would have old pokemon on the gameboy but knowing it could do DS now is insane and I’m dying to see coverage of the device but it seems like everyone left it behind
The reason is simple : the RG35 is a good device but for now Garlic is closed source so the community can't participate to the improvement... So nothing to cover currently.
@@SchmurtzAlex Moments after DS was launched for Onion, devs got DS running in Garlic as well (even though you could already run DS in Batocera and Koriki) I would expect the same thing for PICO very very soon. Despite GarlicOS being closed source, that hasn't stopped devs from adding to it from an APP perspective. Which is all this video had outside of the multiplayer (which 35XX can't even do)
Been trying to get the Pico- 8 stuff to work on my mm+ but for whatever reason whenever I try to connect to the wi-fi with the pico stuff all properly downloaded it just wont and when i try to reconnect it says that it just cant, when I took the pico files off and tried without them it booted up fine it was able to connect to wi fi no problem. Im not sure if im missing a step there?
this video was posted at such a good time! I have been looking for a handheld to run pico-8 on, the price of this one is perfect, and the pico-8 on it is awesome! thank you!
I don't have any retro handhelds but have been thinking about an RGB30 because of how good it'd be for Pico-8. Now that it's possible to play Pico-8 on a Miyoo Mini Plus I'm confused as to what to buy again!
I had a ambernic with garlic os. But the screen broke. So I bought the miyoo mini plus. And I definitely made a mistake going with ambernic original. The HDMI and dual SD novelty wears off quick. I do like the Dpad a little better on the ambernic since it had a better center pivot . But the software and specially with the wifi do scrape art and now pico-8 it's Soo much beter on mini plus. Also I went for the grey gb look on both of them the mini plus it does not look right it has a brown tint. Ambernic did that better. But just go for an other colors.
hey russ - big fan of the channel. finally said ‘yeah man, I wanna do it’ after continuously digesting the reviews of this little guy for the past year. it arrived this week and its awesome. updated the os and customized accordingly, only issue is I’m unable to change the boot screen with the built in app; honestly one of the big reasons I purchased. did some light digging and other v4 users are experiencing the same thing (supposedly the boot screen app is not compatible with v4 firmware at the moment but I’m unsure.) is there anything I can do to fix this/am I missing something? or do you think v4 users might need to just cross their fingers and hope it’s fixed in a future update?
For now the new v4 firmware is not compatible with Easy Logotweak but I will update it when we will have more experience with the new v4 firmware which is fixing the new v4 resolution.
Hey Russ, great video as always ☺️ will you do a new guide to the Odin 2 when it will release later this year? Or do you think it's not really necessary because of your old android guides? Love from Germany!
I was at a party last night where someone got dehydrated and passed out (no worries he's okay today) so I think he ignored Russ' good advice about getting a drink and a snack. Stay hydrated out there!
What are the odds that some of these improvements will eventually make their way into garlicOS? I understand, that the devices are pretty similar specced so it would be an option wouldn't it? Great video! TY RGC!
i would really love a video guide for the regular miyoo mini! there is a big lack of resources for the device that does not have wifi support. I tried updating to the previous rs version of onion os and bricked my device and had to go back to the original beta version that has a lot of glitches for me. the vast majority of resources and guides nowadays really focus on the plus and it almost makes me want to upgrade to that device but I already really like my miyoo mini v3. I am not that tech savvy and would really appreciate information on how to confidently update my device to make it more capable.
You can't brick your device with Onion OS : we don't modify the firmware. There's not specific guide for the MM because, except for the network features, it is exactly the same as a MM+.
@@SchmurtzAlex i'm sure it was my fault, im not blaming the os. i followed retrogamecorp's video guide to install 4.2 beta which worked, then after some time i went along with the video again to udpate to the rs version and my device no longer went past the boot logo screen. so not a total brick i guess. i deleted everything on my card, installed all of the original files that came with the device, reinstalled the beta version and it worked again. perhaps i should have tried installing the rs version when i wiped my card rather than the beta, but i didnt think of that at the time cause i had a mini freak out. im sure there are resources on the wiki to cover all of this but like i said im not very tech savvy and havent been motivated or confident enough to figure it out and a video guide for the miyoo mini would be a major help
If you get stuck on sending discover you can terminate the process by opening keyboard (x) holding control (tap b button on control on keyboard) and pressing c (select it with button a)
I freaking love the community on these handhelds!
I love the system and recently got an analogue pocket. I'm hoping Miyoo releases a version with a similar height as the analogue pocket. If they do, it might be the best handheld with that form factor.

Good point, it's definitely a tiny way to play NDS!
I’ve actually seen people put drastic on the mini and it runs games like Mario and Pokémon just fine on the mini. I was actually considering giving it a go
It’s crazy seeing how far these multiple console handhelds have come since the early/mid 2010’s.
True and the MMP is more than I could have asked for ever
we’ve come a long way since the dingoo a320
First emulation consoles started coming out in 2001
I can’t believe we can play ds on it now!!!
"It gets louder, the more you walk, the louder it gets."
And nice integration with the Interface, key shortcuts and all ❤

Damn gonna have to get that official pico8 license... That looks way too good
My son plays the mini plus all the time. It is a little too small for my hands. Just went and updated onion 👍
I was at a party last night where someone got dehydrated and passed out (no worries he's okay today) so I think he ignored Russ' good advice about getting a drink and a snack. Stay hydrated out there!
Still one of my Top 3 Handhelds! Onion OS is the best thing to happen to retro handhelds in a long while!
What are the odds that some of these improvements will eventually make their way into garlicOS? I understand, that the devices are pretty similar specced so it would be an option wouldn't it? Great video! TY RGC!
would be nice to see a top20 recomended games per system for the mini plus :)
i would really love a video guide for the regular miyoo mini!
there is a big lack of resources for the device that does not have wifi support. I tried updating to the previous rs version of onion os and bricked my device and had to go back to the original beta version that has a lot of glitches for me. the vast majority of resources and guides nowadays really focus on the plus and it almost makes me want to upgrade to that device but I already really like my miyoo mini v3.
I am not that tech savvy and would really appreciate information on how to confidently update my device to make it more capable.
You can't brick your device with Onion OS : we don't modify the firmware. There's not specific guide for the MM because, except for the network features, it is exactly the same as a MM+.
@@SchmurtzAlex i'm sure it was my fault, im not blaming the os. i followed retrogamecorp's video guide to install 4.2 beta which worked, then after some time i went along with the video again to udpate to the rs version and my device no longer went past the boot logo screen. so not a total brick i guess. i deleted everything on my card, installed all of the original files that came with the device, reinstalled the beta version and it worked again. perhaps i should have tried installing the rs version when i wiped my card rather than the beta, but i didnt think of that at the time cause i had a mini freak out. im sure there are resources on the wiki to cover all of this but like i said im not very tech savvy and havent been motivated or confident enough to figure it out and a video guide for the miyoo mini would be a major help
Any chance we can get a guide like this for the RG35XX? Love the content, Russ!
no, rg isnt that popular
They're both similar and follow exact same file structure. Once you got garlic OS, it is mostly the same.
Let me know if you need help as I own both 😊
@@Lil_Bakura Anbernic devices are quite popular, especially on this channel.

Russ did the recent update support arcade netplay now? I thought this is not supported by mame2003?
Woah! Gamechanger!
I thought you’d love it!
Perfect video.Please continue support miyoo mini plus.You’re the best.
Onion is the reason to go with MM+ over the Anbernic RG35XX
Thank you for the video dude! Really helpful
We got a "yeah man I wanna do it" praise be to the handheld gods 🙏
This it THE handheld for Pico-8!
I had to create the bin file myself, incase anyone else doesnt have it
If you get stuck on sending discover you can terminate the process by opening keyboard (x) holding control (tap b button on control on keyboard) and pressing c (select it with button a)
I feel like apart of Miyos success is the name itself.....its just easy to remember.
I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life ❤
Pico-8!!!!!!!!! Miyoo mini!!!!!!!
DS!!!!!!!!!!! I love all of these things!!!!!!!
Oh man, now I am reaaaaaaally regretting getting a RG35XX instead of Mini+ 😢
Great news. I waiting this emulator to be implemented in some official Onion update, more polished.
been holding from buying a mm+ but this sealed it just got one last night rewatching the video again😂
Remind me, does updating like this wipe the roms/saves, etc?
Good question, none of that will be touched!
Boom! 2nd mini + device purchased
