Nintendo DS on your Miyoo Mini / Miyoo Mini Plus | Drastic Emulator set up tutorial & guide

- Nintendo DS Emulation for the Miyoo Mini is here! In this video I'll show you how to install this new emulator and what settings and options are available to you.
You can find the most recent version of Drastic in Steward-Fu's archives instead of relying on a static link, however as far as I can tell there is no public repository. Look in the list for "drastic-v" and download the highest number (1.1 as of the time I'm writing this): github.com/steward-fu/archive...

Just tried this.. It is so much more usable than I thought. Wow, what an AMAZING development. Thanks for this!
I was surprised at his well it works, too!
Mate ur coverage on the Miyoo mini is next level!!
thanks for being such a great source of info
Cheers, thank you so much!
Awesome video thank you very much, I discovered this thanks to you some days ago. By the way I wanted to report that in the Drastic folder (v1.5 at moment of writing) there's a very handy pdf file with all the shortcuts and explaination to change various things, among those for example there is the possibility of changing the overlays on the fly, by just pressing Select+Y while in game (without the need of deleting them at all, since one of those is the all black one like in the video), or switch to full-screen mode by pressing Select+A, or back to the previous screen mode if repeated again. There are also shortcuts to switch to different stylus, or overclock/downclock by +/-50MHz so that you can rapidly see if there are really any changes, and many more things. Another final tip, you can always read this pdf or any other directly from the Miyoo Mini thanks to the pdf reader app of Onion OS
Excellent comment, thank you for sharing the hotkeys!!!
Thanks for the great video! Very informative and to-the-point! Really cool that we have this option at all for this device, even if it isn't perfect. Looking forward to any updates about it. Keep up the good work :)
Cheers, thank you so much!
Incredible ! Tomorrow I’ll try on my muoio mini v2 ! Thanks for the video !!
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy it!
Wowzers who knew NDS was an option for the Miyoo devices!? Fantastic work Steward & team OnionOS so thanks for sharing mate!
I can't believe the skill of the devs!
I find it simply amazing that the devs achieved this. I gotta be honest, personally I won't bother with playing DS games on my Miyoos. Apart from having a modded N3DSXL and a Steam Deck for that, I know myself well enough to be sure I won't be enjoying this if compromises are too big (stuttering and no good sound are big enough for me).
It's still an amazing achievement from a technical point of view and I love following the progress on Reddit and Discord.
It's also nice to see this in action so thank you very much for the video, especially since I probably won't do this on my own as stated. =)
Some games work really well, disgae because it s a turn base tactical rpg. But honestly, I tried mario kart ds and it run well enough to be enjoyed. it is a fun showcase of the hardware.
I feel the same, and I think its great that there's a fair number of games that work really well!
Awesome as always!! Keep it up friend!!
Thank you so much! I tried to make this video straight to the point so I'm glad you liked it.
This is very impressive! Love to see it.
RF3 in the opening warmed my heart!
Immaculate autumnal atmosphere with that one!
You’re lucky dude you have a MIYOO mini!!!! I ordered my plus last week can’t wait!😊
Hope you enjoy it!
Shem, you’re an absolute mad man playing Ouendan like that. 😂😅
What can I say I'm elite (it's my first time playing)
I believe the community will make this emulator run perfect and well in less than a year. The miyoo mini community is such a blessing
Really great video! I do find that a lot of these tutorial videos forget to mention to scan for new roms when you add any to the existing file. 🤭👍🏼
This is so cool! I was currently replaying the mainline pokemon games on the Miyoo Mini+ now. Now I can also play the DS games
Yeah Pokémon seems to work great!
Do you know if soul silver or heart gold works without any issues? Or tryed it lol
@@andresturgeusing drastic 1.7. yes all the pokemon ds games works
@@drylvlnc is there any way to trade with miyoo mini plus nds game?
@@QfunLaserGame I don't think that would ever be possible
I am blown away, what the hell
I never expected this to be possible
Huge props to the devs!
Drastic has improved drastically since this post..all games now play great on my mmp 🎉
Nice! I'll check it out!
Awesome video. I'm really happy to play Nintendo DS games on my Android device. ❤ I have recently played all the Yugioh games. I just started the game and then five hours later. I'm still not bored. No new AAA game in 2023 can do that. If you ask me, ha ha.😂
Ahh yeah I love all the YuGiOh games because they're basically full JRPGs too 😁 I played many of the PSP ones and there was a cowboy themed one if I recall correctly
This was so helpful, thanks
Thank you!
will definitely be interesting to see this develop. just hard-locked my miyoo mini panning around the screen for the first time in ghost trick, had to remove the battery to reset it. caveat emptor.
Oh wow, definitely try a new version. A bunch have come out since this video.
Onion 4.2 just dropped and pairing it with Drastic 1.5 is just amazing.
Wish the drastic dev had a change log or update list on version changes but i swear, jumping from 1.2 to 1.5 had a slight increase in performance.
2D/sprite based games like M&L/Pokemon i can set it 2 frame skips, and 3D games have very minimal audio stuttering at the default 4 frame skips.
Incredible.
Edit: Running at the 1600mhz overclock if anyones wondering.
Fantastic! The progress of Onion and Drastic is amazing!
Drastic dev DOES have a changelog, it's just hidden in the PDF file "Readme.Miyoo.pdf"
(Looks like 1.6 might have another performance bump!)
Very Cool
DS on the Mini? I'm honestly shocked.
The gift that continues to give
Absolutely!
Claude Monet pun was a deep cut I ain't gonna lie.
I'm always going for the deep cut references
How do I bring up the drastic menu at 2:22
I got it working. Hopefully the menu presentation will be improved because the text is so small that it's nearly impossible to read (with my eyes at least) on the MM. I suppose it's not so bad on the MM Plus.
Totally agree, actually the settings part of this video was a nightmare to record because of the small text which is why I used pictures and stabilisation in some places!
where did you get the roms
hey, nice video thanks !
Concerning the Miyoo Mini Plus have we to be under Onion OS too or not ?
I just recently got a Miyoo mini and having a blast customizing and adding new things to it. Has anyone tried this and got everything else showing up fine, but when you start a game it just says "loading" then goes back to the list? Also, I saw a video on here where someone goes through a bunch of DS games and shows which ones run great and which ones run terrible. Very useful for those figuring out what you can actually play without showstopping issues.
thanks for this, i did not understand how they could display ds games with one horizontal screen
hi I also have this Drastic emulator on Powkiddy RGB20s, I wanted to play Zelda phantom hourglass but I have problems with the commands that are set for the touchscreen with the touchpen, could you help me with the mapping for the commands with the directional buttons and the normal buttons? how you use them in this video when playing Zelda
Question, how would one reset the drastic controls to default? I have been running it on a rg35xx h and I messed up my controls and can't do anything besides enter drastic and exit it . If you have any idea plz respond it would be greatly appreciated
I can't seem to get the drastic menu to open. What could I have done wrong?
same question
Hi, do you plan on updating this guide? The commands for buttons don't seem to work any longer. Regards.
i did the drastic part . but where do i get the DS games?
Hi, could you please help me with this issue I have with the drastics configuration? I accidentally messed the configurations up on the controls and now I can't get it to scroll through the options! So I can't even play no nds games at all now!!
This is great. One question though. I see how to change save state slots in the main menu, I am playing New super mario bros but how do I manually invoke a save ? Am I missing a button sequence. Thanks. P.S I see v1.1 is out as on now.
d-pad right or left should cycle through the save states
What dose drastic folder do is only for the ds games or is it for the miyoo, if I wanted to download more games let’s say game cube games would those need a drastic folder too? Is the drastic folder for the games or is to improve the console itself
Drastic folder contains the emulator itself. DS games go in the NDS folder inside the Roms folder. Gamecube games cannot be played on the Mini, but for other systems, games go in the respective folders inside the Roms folder.
does onion have to be beta? or stable? i have mine set up with stable on the recent 4.2.3 update on stable but for the life of me cannot get drastic to work
And I was like I could really use some ds games on my mini . This channel 2 hours later 😏
Perfect timing!
V1.3 is out and it's pretty smooth
Nice, I'll check it out!
@@RetroBreezeYT nice. Would love an update if you can. In addition the new miyoo mini v4 is out. People are having a hissy fit that even though the screen is 750x540 and thus better then it’s predecessors, miyoo has yet to upgrade the firmware so it’s effectively pumping out a stretched 480p image. People are seriously underestimating how good this screen will be once the firmware is updated to output this new resolution. Russ from retrogamecorp overlooked this big time
Now V1.4 is out 😆
i've been wanting to play harvestmoon DS on my mini plus
pretty confident that 2d games surely would be smooth sailing on my mini plus
Rune Factory 3 worked great so I'm sure harvest moon would work great too!
@@RetroBreezeYT ohh thats very big news, I also love that game. Thanks for the heads up! 😄🙏 I will include it also to my mini plus
Hello, which one is updated for DraStic is it the v.18 now?
I cant seem to use the stylus, it doesn't show up when i use L2. Can I fix it thru settings?
здравствуйте напишите пожалуйста какие эмуляторы поддерживает приставка от поколения сеги мегадрайв и выше ?
Edit: I was able to get it to boot again and begin installing Onion OS by powering on while connected to a charger!
Edit 2: Turns out the battery was basically flat even though I hadn't used it much since its last full charge... Don't be like me guys...
Not to discourage anyone but a fair warning: I tried setting up drastic with some roms on my MM+ and I think it got bricked... Seems like a pretty straight forward installation so I assume it should work just fine for most people but maybe I did something wrong or just got unlucky. I removed everything related to NDS and then even formatted to a blank FAT32 to reinstall Onion OS but it's still getting stuck at the boot screen before switching itself back off D: Guess it's time to dig around for some potential fixes.
Oh man I've been there. The dreaded dead-battery-for-an-hour after it goes flat. Sometime you even need to "jump" it by holding power as you plug in the charger 😅 Glad yours is up and running again!
meanwhile, version 1.1 and 1.2 have already come out. The developer is a beast
Yes, it's developing super quickly!
I was trying to install Pokemon Black and White with DraStic but it wont recognize the game rom
Hey, JW how you get the fake microphone to work. I've tried mapping it to a button, but it doesn't work even though it says it's mapped to that button in the DraStic Extra Controls menu. JW if it would be possible to post a tutorial of how that particular side of the DrasTic emulator works?
Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to work either. Not sure what the deal is.
In that case, glad I’m not the only one. I have a hunch as to why. Note I’m not very tech savvy so I may be completely wrong. I have however noticed that all the controls have hot keys for a non-existent PC keyboard…except the fake microphone. It’s possible that, unless there is a way to change that, it might not have actually been programmed correctly into this emulator, and may therefore not be possible to fix. I hope I’m wrong though.
How's Pokemon NDS games on the Miyoo Mini? Smooth? Bugs? Glitchy?
Unfortunate drastic v1.8 isn't letting me enable single screen. It just freezes the second screen and keeps the overlay up.
where do you find all the games to paste into the NDS file though? i just am confused on that part like where do i find the game files
You'll need to find the games yourself. Since they're copyrighted content, we can't tell you where to get them
Fun fact: I recently found out that if I pressed both start and select it changes it’s art to a classic Nintendo DS (I’m using normal Miyoo Mini Plus no modding so it may not work :^)
It depends if the display mode is set to horizontal or vertical in the menu. The vertical bezel has that nice DS overlay! You should still be able to edit the overlays on stock!
Windows wont let me put anything in it unless i format the card?
Where are all these game files I can't find them to drag over
i do everything and i have no sound i dont know if the problem is the game but thnaks so much for the video
How do you deal with the touch controls for example pokemon platium needs you to touch the screen to move on
L2 to bring up and on-screen stylus. I cover all this stuff in the video!
To install drastic do i need onion os or can i use the stock system?
I've heard on the grapevine that it can be installed on stock but I'm not sure what the process is or how stable it is.
how do you download the games in the first place, is there a website which you used ?
You have to find the games yourself. Nobody can tell you where to get them.
where should i put the save data?
New super mario bros is insane on this
Yeah it works pretty well actually!
Pokemon white/black custom roms here i come!
Let us know how they run!!!
@@RetroBreezeYT I’m not picky so they run excellent for me. Ya there’s some sound skipping and frame skip but who cares? It’s perfectly playable and fantastic. If you ever make an update to this video tell people to always check out the README file included in the download package. (Unless you did and I missed it?) That’s a quick reference to the shortcuts and explanation on how to navigate the emulator. Great video, thanks!
drastic never appears in emulation list when I start up the system and it's all copied to the right folders so idk
Im having the same issue
How do I change the layouts? I mean, what buttons do I have to press to switch backgounds?
Shoulder buttons
Would it be possible to get VLC on the MIyoo Mini? I want to use it as a MP3 player be able to see the artist artwork. Should have come with Bluetoot too.
Not unless somebody ports it, which is incredibly unlikely. FFPlay should support audio formats, though I'm not sure how viable it is.
I have improved a lot GMU player tonight, now it displays covers from the mp3 or the jpg file in the folder. You’ll have just to enable it in Onion package manager app.
How to display 2 screen on the miyoo mini not the plus version, mine seems like only can swap screen by pressing r2 or only can display 2 screen on the plus version?
Try pressing start + select at the same time
@@RetroBreezeYT so by pressing start and select at the same time the miyoo mini will display two screen?
Same here in miyoo mini plus. That is not working in recent 4.3 ? Or any expert mode is needed
I'm running to get my miyoo mini and following the directions before the video can finish.
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that my Miyoo Mini has been largely ignored and gathering dust recently in favor of my Steam Deck at home, and-when portability is a priority-my latest pickup, the RGB30.
But not as embarrassed as five thousand of you should be for missing the Chef John reference at 2:55 ...indeed, I am the Claude Monet of my DraStic overlay.
🤩 finally!
Did this with one rom to test it yesterday and it worked and today I’ve been trying for hours to add more but with no luck it shows the rom is in the nds folder in .nds format. Exactly like the one that does work. But when I reboot the Miyouu the game isn’t there.
NEVERMIND, I refreshed Roms on the device and they popped up whoops.
Still trips me up every time to this day!
so i have been messing around with Pokémon on this emulator and Pokémon black/white have a weird issue when you complete the first battle and are asked to leave the house the emulator just crashes, i tried various stuff but couldn't make it work, can you please verify if you have the same issue from your end?
Hi there, just tried it on mine, and yes the game crashes for me when I leave the house as well.
@@RetroBreezeYT i managed to contact steward fu and according to him its cause of the old version of the emulator, since they drastic team only did a single release for linux which was a long time ago.
@@RetroBreezeYT i have finally found a fix for it, you need to turn on wifi and sync your clock on the MM with the help of set time app, then drastic will be able to use RTC and then the game doesn't crash hope this helps
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that your fix helped another user on Reddit. Thank you for sharing it! www.reddit.com/r/MiyooMini/comments/174ngle/comment/k4eimzq/?context=3
You said you’d update this if things had changed. Well, they have so you need to update your description. Version Onion V4.3.0-RC has native DS support built in now so you can skip this guide entirely and expect better performance in the new Onion OS. It’ll get better too as this Release Candidate will be optimised further.
If I get the new miyoo mini v4 does this help with the performance?
Nope!
Where do I find the games ?
I've just got one MM+ with no card since the internet recommended using a better brand. Sadly the onion installing is failing at 50% everytime and so for I haven't managed to make any game work on the stock backups from the internet. My firmware is already the latest one, pretty confusing.
What brand SD are you using? Is it formatted to FAT32?
@@RetroBreezeYT Hello sir, thank you for replying. I'm using a sandisk ultra 64gb. It is formated to fat32, I even tried using the onion desktop tool but no sucess.
Does the miyoo mini v2 play ds games like the plus?
Yes!
How to open DraStic menu?
how do i close the games?
where do i get the games
Hi, very cool. Will Drastic work on Anbernic RG35xx?
I don't think it has been ported there yet but I'm not too up to date on the 35XX right now.
@@RetroBreezeYT Ok ok, if it would work the comunity will make it happen. Thanks man
Did anyone try advance wars on Ds? Does it play good?
Could you please tell me the game you're playing at 0:10?
Rune Factory 3
Anyone get a white screen crash when playing a game for a while? My pokemon heart gold crashed and mystery dungeon sky crashed my gba gbc gb games are fine just drastic/NDS games crash
link for download the game?
Is there a list of games that work? Is it worth going through the hassle to put them on?
I've tested a bunch of them. All Castlevanias, Metroid Hunters works in the last version, Pokémon Soul Silver, Pokémon White 1 & 2, Chrono Trigger DS, FF III & IV, Megaman ZX and ZX Advent, Zelda Phantom Hourglass...I believe that most of the games will work just fine.
There are some lists on Reddit!
Yes, I’ve done it with the help of the community :
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r3dh8GznwwjizSfvrfPd9BPZaRDdi3STv30-beJNMkM/htmlview
Whow can i get a Drastic menu from game?
PLEASE what’s the name of the second game you display, the one with Yoshi, i used to play it when i was younger and I’ve been looking for it for years!! 😩😩
Super Mario 64 DS!
@@RetroBreezeYTthank you SO much!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Does anyone have a link to nds roms that work?
Nah if you go manual and 1 or 2 frame skip then enable fast forward, it runs at a nice speed
Thanks for the tip!
Is $155 a good price for a v2 V3 transparent blue miyoo mini?
WAY WAY WAY too expensive. Just buy from the official store when available. Stock is much more consistent now.
can i use this same configuration in rg35xx?
There is supposedly a DS emulator for RG35XX, but it will be a totally different setup which I'm not sure about!
For me it will not accept the drastic file name, what should I do, am I doing something wrong?
What do you mean drastic file name?
@@RetroBreezeYT for some reason it keeps saying the file is invalid or that the file name is too long
what game are you playing at 5:50?
Rune Factory 3. It surprised me and now I kind of want to dig my actual DS out and give it a go!
Is there a link to the actual Github so we don't keep on having to come back here to download a hoped for latest update?
You can find all his download archives here: github.com/steward-fu/archives/releases/tag/miyoo-mini-plus
@@RetroBreezeYT Cool! That page is titled as being for MM Plus so hopefully the files will also work on the MM.
@@sambagogo777 Yes, they will, except for anything WiFi related!
where does one get NDS games downloaded from????
I can't tell you that. You need to find them yourself.
How does Animal Crossing WW run on this?
It needs frameskip, but 100% playable, enjoyable, and doesn't require touch! In short, amazing!
Version 1.0 just recently dropped
It sure did 😅 Already added to the description!
Did everything but games load a black screen and close automatically. Tried multiple drastic versions, have latest onion, tried multiple nds roms.
Are all your Roms from the same set/collection? Might be worth getting different ones to see if those work. Are they zipped or archived? .zip is fine but any other (.rar, .7z) won't work
@@RetroBreezeYT No I've extracted the zip those are in .nds format. I have tried ROMs from different sources as well. I copied the files over wifi (ftp) not sure if that corrupted the ROMs somehow but all other systems work only nds doesn't.
Okay I figured it out. It was because of ftp copying. I enabled SMB and copied over wifi again and it worked!
Are all games well emulated?
No, I mentioned that right at the start of the video!
Can i play pokemon soul silver with this? 😮
Yep!
