r/MiyooMini

I picked up a Mini Plus as my second retro handheld (I'm still a noob) and I'm in love with the formfactor. It's so compact! I installed OnionOS and everything runs great. I hope to spend many years with my new friend 🥰✨

Childhood classic. Revenge of the Sith on GBA has always been a boredom vanisher in my book. Really fun beat em up with fast past levels making it great for quick pick up and play sessions.

Personalizing the Miyoo Mini to your own aesthetic is one of my favorite parts of having it. Having a community driven repository of themes to choose from makes it easy to find one to match the vibe you want.

What are some of your favorite themes to pair with your MM?

Another game finished! After playing a lot of GBA games I wanted to give this PS1 game a try. It was a lot of fun! The game runs great on the miyoo mini v4. I’m curious what other PS1 games are fun to play on this great little thing. Any suggestions?

I hope everyone is having a good week so far. What have you been playing lately? Are you in the middle of a long story-driven game or just sticking to pick up and play games?

I’ve been in the middle of replaying Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense for PlayStation. For anyone who hasn’t played, it’s a vehicle combat game (Like Twisted Metal) but with a groovy 70s aesthetic. The character designs and music are fantastic. Each character has their own “unique” story modes, each with their own different objectives. Check it out!

Let’s hear what you have been playing!

My V1 mini has started to not hold a charge - at least I believe thats the issue. I've tried Aliexpress for a replacement but it looks like due to its age there's not any available - has anyone managed to find a replacement?

It was amazing. The level design, the weapons and abilities and the satisfaction you got from leveling up and getting stronger, one-shotting enemies that felt like mini-bosses the first time you encountered them.

I know this game is kinda peak GBA, but what else would give a similar feeling? Is Dawn of Sorrow good on the Mini+? I assume some ROM hacks are needed.

Finally, I’m done with the customization (only a better speaker left).

I wanted to do a Shadow the Hedgehog-themed battery, but I’ll do it when a spare one arrives.

i bought some mini weights for my handhelds to make them feel more premium- (got this idea from another thread!) but because this version is so small, i placed them on the back instead & added a sticker to hide them. feels way more satisfying n___n <3

I was trying to combine a Miyoo Mini Plus V1 and V2 (spoiler: Didn't work) because my V2 screen was wobbly, but i want to have RTC. Since I already had both of them apart, I took photos right away. Differences i noticed between the two devices besides the PCB layout:

• Buttons: Membrane is different, and they feel much sturdier.
• Less screws. The mainboard is clicked in stead of screwed.
• Sound: The speaker seems a little bigger. It seem to sound better too! (but my Z5 Compact speaker is coming soon)
• Color: It is a little bit off, Both are the transparant purple ones and the V2 is more transparent.
• Case: Much more clean on the V2, less

So most of the parts can be combined, like the speaker, buttons, battery etc. But the mainboards and shells don't match. Even the V2 back doesn't fit properly.

Screen fix

Because I couldn’t get the combination to work, I went back to the V2 to see why the screen was loose. The screen also seems to be held in place with clips, so using tape didn’t seem like a good option. I did notice that the screws on the back were very close to the screen.

As it turns out, after loosening the screws a bit, the wobbling is almost completely gone. It’s still there, but much less than before.

Hopefully this can help someone.

Just got my sd card that is supposed to have onion os installed and when I put it in my Miyoo, this is all I get. Anyone know what the problem could be? Thanks
