Overall, the OnionOS installation procedure is really simple.
Basically, the main four steps we cover to install Onion OS on your Miyoo Mini are -
1) Backing up the microSD card that came with our Miyoo Mini
2) Updating the firmware on our Miyoo Mini to the latest firmware
3) Formatting a new microSD card for OnionOS
4) Installing OnionOS onto our Miyoo Mini
It's really that easy to install OnionOS onto your Miyoo Mini.
This guide works to install OnionOS on the original Miyoo Mini, as well as the newer Miyoo Mini V2, and Miyoo Mini V3.
OnionOS has heaps of new features that greatly improve the gaming experience on the Miyoo Mini, including GameSwitcher, improved fast forward and save states, and better theming.
Overall, OnionOS is really simple to install on the Miyoo Mini, and it offers some big improvements.
I recommend everyone installs OnionOS on their Miyoo Mini.
Thanks for watching!

What does half worried feel like? Is it slightly anxious, or does it cross over into the paranoia aspect? I need more on this, since we’re butchering English and all.

I couldn't do it on the M1 Mac. I had so much issues while trying to back up the sd card, my computer got stuck and even restarted like two time out of nowhere, it was a nightmare. I tried one last time with a Mac intel processor, and it was ok, no issues at all during the process. Either it was my computer or trying this with the M1 chip is not a good option.
@PhoenixMoore 9 місяців тому
@@Marcel.Miranda I did it just fine on a M1 MacBook Pro. I don't think the M1 is the issue here, because I've done this several times since with getting my ROMs and such just right.

I noticed that when I am playing Pokemon Emerald (mGBA), I am unable to use fast forward multipliers in Onion OS. Whenever I use fast forward it does not do anything; it will just play the game at the normal speed. I am curious if this is a known issue. If I switch to gpSP, it works fine with fast forward multipliers (2x, 3x, etc.). The only reason I will not continue gpSP is because it does not work for RetroAchievements (afaik). Any help on this would be awesome :)

I don’t know where I’m going wrong. I have the files (the six folders). I have a new 32gb formatted to fat32. I put the files into the card and insert into the miyoo mini. I turn it on and it show the miyoo mini start up screen then it just turns off. Am I missing a step? It’s still the older firmware and I want to update it. But that’s what this part is for right?? Thank you in advance. Please help me thru this frustration.
@ChinaTechnology Рік тому
I would just reformat the card and try again. Also double check that your firmware version is compatible. Otherwise try another SD card

If you cant find the Roms folder, FIRST you have to insert the sd card into the mini plus, let onion install and THEN choose all the rooms you want and installed them FROM THE MIYOO. Once you set it up, remove the sd card and put it in the computer again, and only THEN will the folder appear
