  1. I totally lost track with #OnionOS on my #MiyooMini and just found out that my version 4.3.0 is outdated. Installing the currently latest beta version 4.4.0-beta2 worked flawlessly. 😊 Now I can play #TetrisDX again AND get my achievements registered with #RetroAchievements because of the latest #RetroArch version! Yayyy! 🤩 #RetroGaming #HandheldGaming #HandheldConsole #GameBoy #GameBoyAdvance #GameBoyColor #Tetris

  5. Is there a GUI app on #Linux I could use to clone a disk (i.e. SD card) to image? I know there's dd but that isn't GUI. I normally use and prefer #KDE's Partition Manager which I could use to just copy over each partition from a disk to another, but copying the disk as an image would be far more portable - I know on #Windows people use Win32 Disk Imager, while on #macOS I think you could just use the built-in Disk Utility.

    Update: WAIT - I think you could actually do this on KDE Partition Manager! Just mount the disk, right click the partition, click
    Backup, set an output path, and apply.

    There's also an option to
    Restore a partition on the app, which I assume is when you then supply the image you had just backed up. I'm testing this right now, but I'm hopeful!

    Update 2: It worked perfectly. I backed up the partition as an image (not sure if you could do so for multiple partitions in one image), and restored it on another empty SD card.

    I tested it on an
    #OnionOS install for my #MiyooMini. After the restoration was done, put in my new (target) SD card, and the device literally booted right into the game I had paused right at the time when I removed the (source) SD card. KDE Partition Manager ftw.

  7. Salut les Mastonautes,
    je viens de commander une Miyoo mini+ en promo.
    Je vois que certains la flashent avec #OnionOS. CéKoiDonc ?
    Un OS basé sur #RetroArch avec un moteur de recherche/download de Rom ?
    Quel intérêt par rapport a l'OS de base ?
    Merci à tous.

  8. So i'm checking the port section of #OnionOS as they added a #doom mod pack to the port section but i'm a tad...baffled with the selection.

    Here's a long thread:

    - For starters, it has a "fixed" version of Goldeneye Doom made for the korean
    #GP32, one of the first emu. dedicated #handhelds with linux. Mind you, the GP32 was released in 2001 and correct me if im wrong but Goldeneye Doom was first released in 2003.

    I'm not sure if it is because of the lack of updates in the
    #Retroarch port of PrBoom+, but man they have been toying with this old ass outdated mod for 20 years. I thought this was because this specific mod was popular in asia or whatever but the main Onion OS dev is from Denmark so i don't know.

    The other mods selected aren't much better either.

    - First is Star Wars Doom '94, aka stardoom.zip. Why not include the '97 version instead?

    - The next two are A Fistful of Doom and Ultimate Simpsons Doom which are probably the best of the selected mods i suppose, but mostly because of the effort the creators put on these the year both were released, '97 & '98 respectively. But still odd choices for the mod pack.

    - This one killed me. Final Fantasy Doom, the one where you play as a Moogle and every sprite is a MSPaint doodle. I never liked this mod at all. It feels like a big shitpost with a FF coat of paint.

    - Another mod is Half Life in Doom II which isn't even complete. Its just the first two HL levels before it crashes. This is another wad that has been around the internet forever, usually found in packs made for the
    #Dreamcast.

    - This might be the most specific choice for the pack. This mod was released in 2005 i think, and replaces most sprites with monsters made of real legos. I barely played it but its probably one i could recommend.

    - The other is countertrike.wad
    Not sure how old is this one, there are several counter strike-themed mods for Doom but i have seen one shared around the PSP communities a lot.

    - The last one is the Blood TC mod from 2006. Not even ZBlood, its the version that came before it. it plays okay i guess but its still very outdated.

    I really dont know what even think about it. It isn't that the mods are bad, its that the dev only lets you play only this very specific list and nothing else. I really wish Onion OS could let you pick the mods you actually want to play instead of...well, these.

  9. @Gamersintiempo yo cuento con la #retroidpocket2, desde hace años ya, después me conseguí una #miyoomini con la cuál he sido muy feliz y por último la #AnbernicRG351V ya que pienso que es lo mejor de los 2 mundos de las 3 consolas que poseo.

    Mi próximo paso sería hacerme de una consola más potente como la #retroidpocket3plus, #odinpro o bien el #SteamDeck.

  10. #MiyooMiniV2 #MiyooMini

    updated the custom onion os and the Boktai sensor stopped working, the game seems to register it in the testing screen, but not anywhere near the level I've set it to, or enough to charge the solar gun in-game

    has anyone else experienced this? know a fix? :neofox_think_anime:​

  11. @krystman @rasterweb @a_cup_of_sugar #OnionOS on the #MiyooMini and #MiyooMiniPlus supports both #PICO8 and #TIC80. You can enable them using the Package Manager app.

    Similar to #GarlicOS on the #RG35XX, OnionOS uses the fake08 retroarch core for PICO-8. Whilst it is unofficial, and will not have perfect compatibility, it's my preferred way to run PICO-8 because it's Open Source.

  12. I downloaded a very carefully curated collection of ROMs for #miyooMini #onionOS and it's got screenshots, and cover art and logos in the thumbnails!!

    Trouble is that the #GarlicOS theme I'm using displays text over the thumbnails and it looks kinda like trash.

    I wonder if it's possible to have #retroArch render the thumbnails over the #ROMs list when available.

  13. I'm getting anxiety about the #anbernicRg35xx I ordered as I see more and more about the #miyooMiniPlus.

    I was pretty disappointed with the OS on my #anbernic #rg350 and seeing #OnionOS made me want to try out another #retrogaming #handheld. Seeing #BlackSeraph's #RetroArch release #GarlicOS for the #rg35xx convinced me to pull the trigger and get one.

    But I keep hearing about the #miyooMini's #OnionOS and how it's continuing to be developed and I'm getting FOMO.

  14. Everytime I come back to #retrogames handhelds from China I'm amazed at the variety and value of hardware. For $60 you can get 1000s of #videogames in a device with #nintendo levels of build quality.

    I had an #anbernic but I disliked the OS. Now there are alternative firmwares like #OnionOS and #GarlicOS. I'm thinking I might try to get an #RG3XX or #miyoomini

  15. A few days in, my review of the #MiyooMini (pocket linux gameboy)
    Pro: The emulation is excellent and "just works". It runs everything from MAME to ZX Spectrum, Nintendo, PICO-8, PS1 and Amiga stuff. The #OnionOS UI is fast and makes sense

    Con: It's tiny, but not rugged. I've already dropped it on a hard floor and damaged the LCD. The micro-sd slot is spring loaded and great for losing cards
