- Today we're upgrading the Miyoo Mini Plus to run Onion OS. The process is super simple and makes the overall experience so much better!

Out of all of the other set up videos I’ve watched your one is one of the only ones I’ve understood completely start to finish, thank you
I’m glad I could help out!
simple and straightforward tutorial, thanks!
Glad it helped!
Nice and simple. Good stuff 👍👍
Glad you liked it!
Great video, keep it coming.. you are doing great
Appreciate you, Thanks!
Just got mine couple days ago and we got the same software version so imma go for it🙏🏾
Nice! Good luck.
Onion OS is a huge difference maker. When I got my Mini Plus, the sd card was garbage, so I got mysef a 128 GB Samsung SD card, and once I installed Onion and slapped on my own roms, it was smooth sailing. Changing the themes periodically is a surprisingly fun aspect of using Onion OS. They even have a Tech Dweeb theme 😂
Ikr! Onion OS is a night and day difference. The one thing I don’t like is how the quick save slots automatically rotate. Other than that it’s perfect
What do you mean by putting your own roms on it
Once you swap the sd card you have to add roms on it. Instead of using the roms that came on the original sd card.
@@hartomethodthis video helped me greatly. I’m setting this up for my boy as a Christmas present. I want it all ready to go when he opens it on Xmas day. Right now I’m coming over the ROMs and trying to remove all the numbers I’ve done 30 now, and there has to be an easier way than clicking on each file. Please let me know if you have any tips or tricks for that. Thanks.
Hey thanks for the video! I also have a MAC book and haven't seen many videos online describing how to reformat the SD card using the disc utility. Would you mind elaborating a little more on how to properly reformat the new SD card? Thank you so much for any help you can provide!
Hey glad I could help! Here’s the guide I used. It goes over all the steps for Mac. retrogamecorps.com/2022/05/15/miyoo-mini-v2-guide/
Great Video that got straight to the point! On a slightly unrelated point, would you rather get a MSI Katana 15.6" Laptop - 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12650H - GeForce RTX 4060 or a ASUS - TUF Gaming A16 16" 165Hz Gaming Laptop FHD-AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS Radeon RX7600S?
I honestly think they’re pretty even when it comes to gaming. The only plus I’d give to the RTX is DLSS. Are they similarly priced?
@@hartomethod Yea its like a 150 difference in price but that isn't that much of an issue. I'm prob gonna go with the RTX due to the extended warranty as well.
Nice
Thanks!
Hello, is it possible to setting different button mapping? I need swap yellow and red button (down button as a confirm and right button backward - like on XBOX). I need it in games and also on system menu. I have problem to do it with stock software. Could transfer to OnionOS help ?
On onionOS you can remap the controls via each emulator (through retroarch). The onionOS GitHub has directions. But I don’t think there’s a way to remap the menu and system buttons differently
So do the rom folders for the emulators contain the bios after installing Onion OS?
No you’ll have to put your own bios files in the BIOS folder on the root of the sd card
The device comes with Super Mario 64 installed by default? I installed Onion as soon as I got my device but now I don’t see any Super Mario 64
Yeah it comes in the original sd card. You can either put the same port on your new onion os sd card OR go to the onion OS GitHub and download their port of Mario 64
For some reason I have tried this like 6 times and every time Onion OS does not install do you think it could be because i am trying to use the SD that came with it? because now i can not seem to get the games to come up on the original software at all.
I’d 100% use a different micro sd card. The one that comes with it is bad
I have the same version of onion i recently purchased my device but i was using the sd card that came with it and its now corrupted i think because none of the games were loading . I ordered a better sd card my question is i can just copy the games from the old sd card into the new one ? I remember likes the games
I’d honestly go download the games separately online and add them to your new sd card
@@hartomethodokay thank you
Does it come with ps1 ff9 and 7? Legend of dragoon? Without updatin? Thanks!
I don’t remember but it did have some ff games on there. But both of those games are easy to find online!
On mac, you don't need to put the hidden file “.tmp_update” ???
No I didn’t need to do that
Where do you paste the roms from the old sd card?
There are 6 folders on the onion v4… i dont know where to copy and paste “roms” from the original miyoo set up
Each system or “core” should have its own rom folder for you to paste it into
@@hartomethod i copied the whole sd card files as original from the miyoo mini. I have the v4.2.3 onion. All i need is to put the games. But the i cannot find the BIOS folder on the original miyoo.
I dont know if i just paste the roms from the appropriate folders on the miyoo (FC, SFC etc) into the folders selected during onion start up and it will play or i need to search for bios. This is complicated and i dont want to brick my miyoo. I already lost all my snes and nes games when trying to rename “FC” to NES and had to download roms. Im kind of intimidated at this step
All good. Don’t rename anything that onion OS names. You’d just drop the roms into the correct folder like I said. Once it’s in there you’ll have to refresh the game page when you’re on the miyoo mini (i think its the select button). For the bios you drop that into the bios folder on the root of your sd card (cartridge based games don't need a bios, usually just ps1). No need to search for bios. Also take a look at the retrogamecorp website I put in the description, that should help.
@@hartomethod i ended up finding another video which says to copy the original miyoo sd card “system” folder which contains the BIOS. And it worked. Unfortunately i could not get the neogeo to play. Im going back to the original set up from miyoo. I personally didnt find the trouble worth it. Yes it looks plane but it worked. Thanks for the quick reply!
Mine came without an SD card and no games. I have an 128g SD card from my switch unused. Currently trying to transfer the files to my sd card. I am not tech savvy so this has been difficult lol. So far it hasn’t worked, trying to download two more files. Hopefully it works wish me luck!
Are you on windows? I’d recommend following Reto Game Corps guide!
Can I copy games from original memory card to new memory card with Onion OS?
Yes but the quality of the roms aren’t the best
I downloaded the latest version. It keeps re-installing it, switches off, then re-installing it again, then switches off, and r......
I’d try a clean boot and download it again
How did you manage to rename them to get rid of the annoying numbers?
You can rename the file when the sd card is in the computer. You can also use the file manage on the miyoo mini and rename them from there
@@hartomethod sure. I was just hoping you had a suggestion that wouldn’t require renaming 100s if not 1,000s of files 😅
Oh no, sadly that’s the way I do it
@@hartomethod for anyone looking for a solution. I cleared my SD card and redownloaded them from Tiny Best Set. All the tiles have the numbers removed. From there just use a scrapper to get all the artwork. Saved myself 40 hours of painstakingly renaming 1,000s of files.
Ok but if I replace my OS with an onion 🧅. Wouldn’t that make it a smelly Miyoo mini plus? 😅
Great video, sorry it's off topic but can someone help? I purchased 2 of mini+ from different sellers and they don't connect to WiFi and give error even when the password is correct. Has anyone faced this issue? TIA
Have you tried updating the firmware?
Thanks Will try to do tonight, really want to play multiplayer on these bad boys.
I just did the same exact thing, gave the new SD card in my Miyoo and nothing happened... It didnt started to install, what should I do?
All the correct files were on the sd card?
