What does half worried feel like? Is it slightly anxious, or does it cross over into the paranoia aspect? I need more on this, since we’re butchering English and all.
I couldn't do it on the M1 Mac. I had so much issues while trying to back up the sd card, my computer got stuck and even restarted like two time out of nowhere, it was a nightmare. I tried one last time with a Mac intel processor, and it was ok, no issues at all during the process. Either it was my computer or trying this with the M1 chip is not a good option.
@@Marcel.Miranda I did it just fine on a M1 MacBook Pro. I don't think the M1 is the issue here, because I've done this several times since with getting my ROMs and such just right.
Dude awesome video! The only one that was on Mac. There is a very important thing, i think you forgot to mention in the video: When transferring the BIOS files from the backup to the SD card, you need to look for the ".retroarch" folder, which IS HIDDEN. So you need to press Shift + Cmd + . to unhide them!
Dude, thank you so much. I was in a world of pain over the past two days trying to get this to work, but your video saved me. Thanks so much for sharing.
Bro I was so worried I was playing Pokémon for like a week and my stock SD took a shit and I didn’t know what to do lol cause I have a Mac. This saved my life
I wish you had shown the steps on the Mac, as far as what to click and how to make folders because I have access to one but I don’t know how to use it well at all.
If you cant find the Roms folder, FIRST you have to insert the sd card into the mini plus, let onion install and THEN choose all the rooms you want and installed them FROM THE MIYOO. Once you set it up, remove the sd card and put it in the computer again, and only THEN will the folder appear
Where is the ROM folder on the onion SD card? I see, tmp_update, BIOS, Media, miyoo, RetroArch, and Themes. None of which contain a folder titled ROMs. So I'm not sure where to copy the ROMs from the backup
He is not showing in the video that part? why? I've no idea, but is annoying that he is trying to teach something and at the same time hiding information in order to make you fail in the process.
SOLVED IT! First you have to insert the sd card into the mini plus, let onion install and THEN choose all the rooms you want and installed them FROM THE MIYOO. Once you set it up, remove the sd card and put it in the computer again, and only THEN will the folder appear
I am having issues with Step 2. I downloaded the file to my Mac, and then transfer it to the mini SD. Yet when I remove the SD and put back into my Miyoo, it just shows that it's charging.
This onionOS doesn't work for me had to switch back to stockOS. Games crash, battery always show 0% even tho is full. The A button closes the game and goes back to rom menu, no wifi in settings, gave up on it.
I noticed that when I am playing Pokemon Emerald (mGBA), I am unable to use fast forward multipliers in Onion OS. Whenever I use fast forward it does not do anything; it will just play the game at the normal speed. I am curious if this is a known issue. If I switch to gpSP, it works fine with fast forward multipliers (2x, 3x, etc.). The only reason I will not continue gpSP is because it does not work for RetroAchievements (afaik). Any help on this would be awesome :)
I thought I had made a back up of my sd card and turns out I didn't. When I erased the sd card to change the format you can guess what happened. Any help would be much appreciated

Currently doing this and I had to clear up space from my MacBook to be able to download roms onto my computer BUT and a huge BUT for some reason it’s transferring over 52GB which is mind boggling to me because the SD card that comes with to miyoo says it’s only 16GB I’m soooo confused by this and just mind boggled that it’s such a huge folder. Did I do something wrong?
just got the mini plus, installed the firmware and the os. now im getting game crashes, the power indicator is showing empty and a red boarder around the scree. should i reinstall firmware/os?
@@Kikimaster720 Same thing here, and on top of the border and power indicator showing zero all the time my volume is stuck on 100 and wont adjust by pressing the volume button on the side. I ended up reverting back the native OS.
well, I'm doing exactly what you say and in step 3 everything is a mess and dont work. don't know if your not explaining something or what, but I watched the video several times and doesn't work at all
Specially the part where you're copying the roms. You suddenly have both roms folders open, but I dont have any rom folder in my new onion sd card. What have you done before that step?
On the new SD Card create a folder called "Roms", load Onion OS and it will autamtically create the folders of each core inside the "Roms" folder. @@blackmetaltrajano3715
I don’t know where I’m going wrong. I have the files (the six folders). I have a new 32gb formatted to fat32. I put the files into the card and insert into the miyoo mini. I turn it on and it show the miyoo mini start up screen then it just turns off. Am I missing a step? It’s still the older firmware and I want to update it. But that’s what this part is for right?? Thank you in advance. Please help me thru this frustration.

Every time I try and backup my old SD card it just says there is an error and won't let me
Is this video only for the miyoo mini or also for the miyoo mini plus?? Thanks
anyone not able to use ps1 after onion install it is missing the bios file, its on the old sd card!!
Very insightful

me too :/ Any idea ?
have you been able to solve this at all? I just got mine and im having the same trouble.
Same exact thing is happening to me right now I’m currently frustrated that it won’t work
Please help
@@trennellboldridge9581 what I had learned is that I already had the most recent firmware update! So that’s why it didn’t work!
@ianphillip241 Were you able to complete the install? I'm having trouble with it and I think it's because I'm on a Mac...
This onionOS doesn't work for me had to switch back to stockOS. Games crash, battery always show 0% even tho is full. The A button closes the game and goes back to rom menu, no wifi in settings, gave up on it.
How do you fast forward I barley press the middle button and mine wants to save the gave or switch to a saved game
What are your thoughts on buying One onion always already installed
My onion os worked first time i turned it on now it boots up the screen shows the logo and the green just goes dark
My miyoo mini came with a cracked stock SD card that will not read. Will I still be able to upgrade to onion os using a new SD card?
what if i don't have a backup? the SD card i recieved was corrupted and didnt work!
You mentioned in 4:21 that we need to copy all of the files inside ".retroarch" folder, but my RetroArch folder doesn't have it. :( Can anyone help?
The file is hidden. The reveal it on mac you can press command + shift + .(period) in you folder.
If when i download the OnionOS i couldnt find the Roms folder on the new SD card, should I just copy the folder from the old sd card to the new one?

The miyoo I got from Amazon only has one game in each major system. What the heck do I do? It’s a gift for someone
what if you dont have the original card? can you just buy a new sd and install onion on that and it still work?
I can't find the rims folder in the new onion os download and you said I can't use the old rom files right?
I cannot get the games to show up on my Miyoo. I cannot figure out what im doing wrong...
I thought I had made a back up of my sd card and turns out I didn't. When I erased the sd card to change the format you can guess what happened. Any help would be much appreciated
where do i put the roms? There isnt a folder for it on onion os
in your SD card, there's a "Roms" folder. put them in the correct console folder inside that
@@randomname_tqrk Where is the folder titled ROMS? When I navigate the Onion folders I don't see a folder titled ROMS to copy into.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into it!
Haw do you back up your new SD card
Where's the ROMs folder in the Onion OS? I don't see it and you didn't show how to navigate to it. Do I have to make my own? If so, in what directory?
