Day 1! I've Joined the Club

Here we go!

My MM+ has finally arrived!!! (its Grey...but looks white in the pic, and I LOVE it) I haven't even put the stock (non-branded sd card) in to turn it on yet. I have a branded 64g SD card and am ready to install OnionOS!

I've got a handful of Roms, so here we go!

Anyone recommend a good OnionOS youtube beginner tutorial that you liked to help me get set up and rolling?!

Horse Racing Games?

Any good suggestions for horse racing games on retro consoles to check out?

With the Kentucky Derby over and the Triple Crown happening, I am more interested in horse racing.

I used to play "Horse Racing" on our Intellivision in the early 80s and we loved it. I have done some research and have seen some gdecent ones for the Famicon but they are in Japanese and with no translation, the reviews were to skip.

So any suggestions for decent retro horse racing games (in English or with translations), that I could check out?

How "Safe" is the stock sd card?? (virus?)

Sorry folks - new to all of this - with my first handheld (rg35xxh) only purchased a little while ago (still using stock os and planning on upgrading soon (this weekend), but since I am just starting and have a handful of roms to date (about 10) and ZERO bios...wondering how 'safe' is it to plug the stock sd card that came with the unit into my computer and grab the bios files (I plan on leaving the roms and collect my own eventually).

I have watched many a YouTube video by folks who do it, and yet I have seen several folks on various retro handheld subs say you should never put one of those cards in your personal computer.

We only have the one computer and I don't want to put it at risk but plugging it in and grabbing some files to use. Should I not bother and try and source these myself or just do it?

Again...new to all of this so please go easy on me.

I am new to Shmups and looking for some Pico 8 recommendations to play on my retro handheld. I have Kalikan and a couple by Buster Ermy (XIRA) which are awesome, and looking for some more recommendations to add to my collection...

Has anyone has any success with Garlic OS ?

I am new to all of this (never heard of a ROM until a little while ago) and still running the Anbernic Stock but I want to move on, but I ran into issues when I tried to upgrade the stock OS.

So I am figuring that the Tiny Best Set Go might be my best option as I only have a handful of ROMs (I got my device once Myrient shut down), so it 'might' be a good option to get moving fast with a non-stock OS and some ROMs to get me started? Unless there is something about Garlis OS that I should avoid?

Based on reading this sub, I wanted to install Knulli, but since Tiny Best Set has a Garlic OS option, I might go with that...

Thoughts?

Hey all.

BRAND new to retro gaming (only discovered this hobby about a month ago) and ordered my New Miyoo Mini Plus over the weekend. SO excited to get into this.

Is there anything I should be doing while waiting for it to arrive? Get an OS and SD card set up. Work on getting some of my own ROMs? Any thoughts/feedback/tips/suggestions?

And I think I am going to go with OnionOS after reading this thread. I think the MM+ only has 1 sd card slot (so I won't need to use an sd card for the os and another for roms?) If so, recommendations on sd card size? I have a 32, 64 and 128.

However, I also watched a great YT video from Russ at RetroGameCorps where he used the "five game system" and only installed 5 games on a Miyoo Mini Flip with MinUI, which looked really good and clean and easy. Wondering if this would be easier of me since I am starting out and only have a handful of ROMs anyway.... ?
