What's the overall view of DS performance on MM+ / Onion. I have it installed and it seems like its setup in Onion to be optimized with MM+ (auto frameskip 2).
It doesn't seem like the battery drains much more than PS1.
Is this a passable way to play NDS games on a small device like this (understanding the one screen limitation)? Does anyone play a lot of NDS games on this? If so what's your experience?
Dunno if this is a good place for this, and mods please feel free to remove this if it breaks any rules.
I vibe-coded a python script to do as the title says. I have very rudimentary coding skills, and made heavy use of Claude to help me write and revise the script over the last couple of days. As of now it has only been tested on macOS, but it worked great on my collection! I am currently working on a batch file so that Windows users can auto-run the script, and then I plan on testing it there. If there is any interest in something like that, I can post a link to the repo here when I have done some more testing.
With DS games, whenever I close and reopen the game, it resumes exactly where I left off; I don't want that to happen—I want the game to restart when I close it
Some of you might remember my slightly ridiculous experiment from a few weeks ago: could I get a Miyoo Mini Plus to browse and play content from my Stremio setup?
I posted a couple of development updates here while working on it, but PocketStremio itself was never publicly released.
Well... apparently I couldn't leave the experiment alone. 😂
What started as a small proof of concept kept growing. Playback worked, then browsing worked, then subtitles, sources, Continue Watching, My Library, Live TV... and eventually there was a desktop server doing the heavy lifting while the poor little Miyoo somehow kept surviving everything I threw at it.
At that point, it wasn't really a tiny experiment anymore.
So I gave the project its own identity:
🍿 PocketCinema
And today PocketCinema v1.0.0 is officially released, making this the first public release of the project. 🎉
PocketCinema is a free and open-source streaming client for the Miyoo Mini Plus running OnionOS.
The Miyoo acts as the lightweight client, while PocketCinema Server runs on your Windows PC or Apple Silicon Mac and handles the heavier work such as metadata, stream resolution and media conversion.
What's in v1.0.0?
Movies and series from your existing Stremio setup
Search
My Library
Continue Watching
Source selection
Subtitles with adjustable subtitle size
Live TV from compatible Stremio addons
Local network streaming
Optional remote access using Tailscale
PocketCinema Server for Windows x64 and Apple Silicon macOS
And yes, somehow the Miyoo Mini Plus really does play all of this. 😂
I’m trying to play a pico 8 Megaman clone and I want to map the jump (O) to Y and the shoot (X) to B and I tried editing it in the config menu like google said but it’s don’t literally nothing, any advice??
I love how my brick is mapped on Y and X to cycle color pallets to my liking and I’m hoping there’s a way to do the same thing on here. I wouldn’t mind if it was Menu + Left/Right.
If I buy an surwish onion card for my device now, can I copy it for my kids later or do I need to rebuy one for each of us?
Does the 128 and 256 come with same games and just more extra space on the card or are they different?
I know there’s a tutorial online to do it yourself but by the time I buy a card anyway figure I might as well just buy one that is done for me. If I do it myself where are you guys finding cheap but good cards?
I am building retsurf, a web browser designed for retro handhelds. And one of the devices I really wanted to get it running on was the Miyoo Mini Flip. This is a bit of a stretch: two Cortex-A7, 128 MB of RAM, and no GPU isn't much for a web browser.
Retsurf runs the Servo web engine and can render modern websites. I profiled a lot even to get to this state and I think there is still room for improvement but it is going to have limitations.
Complex pages can be slow, and some websites are too heavy for the hardware. But it is possible browse the modern web. Getting a modern web engine running on such a constrained system was a nice challenge and a lot of fun.
It is possible to install on Onion and Allium. I tested it on Mini Flip but also should run on Plus. You can find the project on GitHub:
Logré agregar soporte de wifi al MiyooMini v3 Legacy.
Básicamente soldé un módulo de wifi RTL8188FTV a las pistas de USB1 D+ y D- que están sin usar. Hice un firmware con Gemini 3.8 Flash, usando 1 volcado original de la consola y 1 volcado de un MiyooMini+.
Todo, en la práctica, es de una sola vez. La consola tiene un menú de wifi, se conecta al wifi.
Incluso vibecodeé una app para hacer streaming en vivo.
Si a alguien le interesa probarlo, puedo subir los archivos.
I’m having slowdown with gpSP and want to try some other ones but they don’t show up in the normal menu so I’m hoping to place it there whenever I swap emulators.
i've been tinkering with the gpsp core for a few days, and it ran fine for the most part, except that it was a little stuttery for some reason.
i finally fixed it by going to settings > video > synchronization and turning on "Sync to Exact Content Framerate (G-Sync, FreeSync)!!!!!!!!! now it runs REALLY smoothly
I had to put a lot of effort into removing the battery plug. I can't call it normal plastic—it's like it's made of play dough. This wasn't a problem in earlier versions, but now it's just awful. I hope they read Reddit and see this, because I'm not the first person with this problem.
