    __
    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!

      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.

  • @mikevsazova6974
    @mikevsazova6974 5 місяців тому +1

    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??
