I love how "yeah man I wanna do it" is your go-to for confirmation windows

I’m so proud of being part of the team, and it makes me very happy to see this video, since you are the responsible for me getting into the handheld world in the first place! The circle is complete! Hahahah ❤

This was perfect! Thank you for walking us through everything and making Retro gaming more accessible to everyone by showing us how easy it can be! Onion OS looks incredible!

My miyoo mini plus arrived today and i love it. I made a backup of all the preloaded stuff for posterity, but then massively reduced the rom list to my curated retroachievements compatible library. I’m a new fan of the channel and wanted you to know I’ve been loving the content! Came here via a Facebook group Rec and your nerd nest appearances.

I got my Miyoo mini plus from amazon and loving it. Even though I have the Anbernic RG351MP I tend to enjoy playing the MM+ more due to its upright positioning and lighter plastic vs metal. I used MiniUI/DotUI until Onion OS 4.2 came out. Been using onion but waiting for this video so I could properly make adjustments. Love your work!

[Ravenlock]

Your channel is the reason I knew to be ready to order a MMP when they went on sale, which is why I have one, which is why I'm now getting to enjoy Onion 4.2 on it, so, just wanted to say thanks. Really love your work. 🙂

Recently discovered your channel as I feel down a rabbit hole learning about Retro Achievements. My steam deck was pretty great for most games, but ive got a miyoo mini plus on the way! Thanks for all of the great content.

My Miyoo Mini Plus is on its way. I'm glad OnionOS beta is out now, so I'll be able to immediately use it from the get-go. So looking forward to it.

This video came at the perfect time! I got my Miyoo Mini+ in the mail the day this came out. Now it's the next day and I'm ready to install OnionOS on it. I'm already really enjoying it and I'm ready to enjoy it more :) this is my first one of these handheld emulation consoles and it's honestly really neat and I'm happy I got it!

[rickkramer]

Love the videos. You are my go to for anything technical. One trouble shoot I had to dig to figure out was that your games wouldn’t autosave/auto load out of the gate. You have to go into retroarch and turn off hardcore mode in achievements. Works beautifully now. Thanks for the video!

[KickPuncher]

Great video! My MM+ is out for delivery right now and I'm fully prepared the moment it arrives now. You did a great job at organizing a pacing this video that it never felt too fast or too slow, you didn't rapid fire over features, but showed them in a detailed way at appropriate times. Damn I can't wait for this thing to get here!!

[solidsnake]

Just recently came across this channel and have to say I am super impressed by your tutorial videos. They are so easy to successfully follow from start to finish. I am kinda obsessed with my RG35XX at the moment (picking it over my Steam Deck most days out of ease of use for quick burst sessions) and set that up using your guide. Looking forward to receiving my Miyoo Mini + and getting Onion onto it, although it has its work cut out for it if it’s going to contend with Garlic OS which on the latest version, I’ve found to be absolutely fantastic. Keep up the good work and knowledge sharing!

[robotninja]

Perfect timing, my mini+ arrives tomorrow! Also good to know that you can use a single microSD on multiple devices because i have the v2 as well.

[Mindartcreativity]

My Miyoo Mini+ arrived today! Two more hours then I can finally leave work and dive into retro game goodness! Over the past days I binged your videos quite a lot and subscribed now! You have awesome videos and detailed guides for noobs like me! Thanks!

[Jmak]

Mine arrived today! Perfect timing. And amazing guide as always!

[DannilleRocky]

Thank you sooo much!! Coming from someone who isn't the most tech savvy, I was super excited to revisit nostalgia on my miyoo mini+ after hearing about it. Turns out it isn't simply as "power on and play" as I thought. I went down the miyoo rabbit hole and got overwhelmed and lost from rooting through reddit, and I really wanted to make sure that I at least get the set up right. I read through so many posts, the official/non tutorials, and other yt vids, but yours is the best at explaining everything crystal clear to me and now I feel much less intimidated. Hyped to re-experience my childhood :> this community is awesome!

[TheRealPowerGame]

If anyone is having troubles updating the console firmware like me you have to use a 32/64Gb microsd! If you are using a 128gb card is not going to update but only charging when plugged via USB

Finally ordered a Miyoo mini plus. First retro handheld after binging so many vids of yours trying to figure out what’s right for me. I have a custom firmware switch that I put together after getting my OLED but it wasn’t hitting right for Gameboy games. This little gadget is perfect for the true pixel handheld games of my childhood. Thanks for the amazing content, gonna keep watching stuff while I game. Appreciate all you do

[Absolewtly]

Thank you for your hard work keep the community updated. Appreciated would be an understatement

[drmsda]

I horrendously screwed with retroarch on my base Miyoo Mini, and this tutorial helped me bring it back better than ever, thanks a million dawg
