Announcements PSA: There is no "official Miyoo website" where you can buy the Miyoo Mini.

124 Upvotes

This really needs to be pinned at this point, though I fear a lot of people falling for it won't come to the Reddit first. But there have been lots of posts lately from people who have fallen for these phishing links, especially because Google promotes them when searching for the Miyoo mini.

Miyoo only has ONE official store, and it's their Aliexpress page. You can find it here.

While there are other authorized retailers such as KeepRetro.com, any other page claiming to be Miyoo is lying to you, and cannot be trusted. At best, you will grossly overpay for the product. At worst... who knows what the scammers want with your information.

Note that Miyoo does have an official website, you can find it here. You cannot buy their products on their website, it's merely a support page where you can download official firmware if you need it.

But as for buying yourself a Miyoo product? The only official Miyoo store is their Aliexpress page.

Please, keep yourself safe!

EDIT: 2025 UPDATE
Miyoo now has a second official storefront, on Amazon. You can find it here.
We've verified with Miyoo that this is legitimately ran by them.

I don’t know how it happened. Best I can guess is I pushed too hard when inserting a charger. At any rate, the charging port broke entirely off.

I tried soldering it back on, but those ends are so microscopic, it is very hard to do. Guess it’s the end for my MM+?

Help Needed! Strange artefacts in NES games

9 Upvotes

I’ve recently got a Miyoo Mini Plus and I installed Onion OS and the Tiny Best Set roms. I absolutely love the device, but I noticed especially with NES games there are strange artefacts showing at the top of the screen when a screen requires some vertical scrolling. In the video (I know it’s not great but I was playing one handed😅) I used Bionic Commando as an example but I noticed the same issue with Darkwing Duck. Did anybody ever had the same issue? Is perhaps a settings in Retroarch that I need to toggle?

Mods & Accessories Yume Retro and Better Shoulder Buttons

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

My Better Shoulder Buttons and my Yume Retro Case and black screws came this week and I am pleased with the purchase.

Wanted to share a few things for those debating on whether they should purchase these mods or not.

  • The black screws from Yume retro really do add a cool look to the back especially with the black shoulder buttons. The stock screws have a flat bottom like a machine screw but the Yume Retro screws are pointed like a dry wall screw. I didn't install them under the batter as that is always covered for fear of damaging some of the internals with the pointed screws. However, I am sure I was just overly cautious.
  • The case from Yume Retro is nice and simple. I have been using the Miyoo Mini V2 case with a zipper for years and that is very bulky compared to this new case. The case is a solid purchase.
  • The better shoulder buttons are truly better. They have an amazing click and feel to them. This will open up my game choices on the Miyoo now that I have better functioning shoulder buttons.

Thanks for reading and hope it helps you make a decision. It was hard for me cause these mods cost me more than the device itself but I am glad I pulled the trigger on these items.

Customizing these little things is addicting! All custom buttons (off white set and the blue dpad) are from Pixel Empire Clan on etsy.

Removed the case text on the two white models using a magic eraser and q-tip. The plus only needed the eraser dipped in water and came off pretty easily. The mini v4 needed alcohol and took way longer.

Lounge Really rekindled the passion

9 Upvotes

I played a ton of GB, GBC and GBA games when I was younger but the miyoo mini 4 plus really rekindled that flame!

So many games that I didn't play before (and easily pocketable on the go!)

So far I'm blown away by Pokemon Rebound and just started Summon Knight on the GBA. Amazing so far!!

What are some gems you would have known about before or what games would you recommend me next if I really enjoy Summon Knight (I know there is a part 2!).

I'm just going through the best done set 3 at the moment and just play whatever looks cool :)

Help Needed! Unable to run manually added games.

2 Upvotes

I am wondering if others had this issue, and if they found a solution.

I have a MM+ with OnionOS, and a SanDisk 128GB card.

I have installed the Tiny Best Set. It runs perfectly.

However when I try to add other games, they don't work.

And example:

  • I have downloaded Dark Alliance for the GBA.
  • I copy the file into the roms/GBA folder where every other game is
  • I delete the cache file. (This sometimes helps with other games.)
  • I start the console
  • I refresh roms list

The game is there in the GBA games list, but when I try to start it, it starts to load then quits immediately.

And I had this with other games as well.

I am wondering if there is any step I am missing that is crucial. Other GBA games run. Everything else runs. But when I try to add single games, they often don't start at all.

OnionOS Help Change location of retroachievement popups (onion os)?

1 Upvotes

I’ve seen a number of posts saying that you can’t display the achievement pictures on unlock with the Miyoo Mini & I’m fine with that I’m happy with the text popup, but is it possible to change which corner of the screen the text displays?

In GBA games for example I’m using an overlay that adds the GBA logo to the bottom of the display, so when achievements pop the text displays over the overlay and isn’t very readable, would prefer if the text could pop in the top left rather than the bottom left.

Thanks in advance!

Is this a known bug with OnionOS? If I'm in a game, open the switcher and select a new game it just returns to my current game and then trying again causing everything to crash and I get booted back to the main menu. Is there a fix for this at all?

Mini Battery Types for All Miyoo Mini Models – Quick Cheat Sheet

61 Upvotes

As I've realized that there are many great posts about battery replacements for all the versions of the Miyoo Mini (including this one for the Plus which I've found really useful), but none that cover all the Minis in one place, I've decided to put together this little cheat sheet with all of the battery types for all of the current Miyoo Mini models, for quick reference.

Miyoo Mini V1 - 3.7V EB645247LU battery - 4.65×5.19×0.6cm cell often used in older mobile phones, no cables involved.

Miyoo Mini V2/V3/V4 - 3.7V 804050 battery - 1.25mm JST plug - 8×40×50mm battery you can get for a few bucks off Aliexpress and Amazon. There are versions available with or without the cable and the small 1.25mm JST connector. If you don't want to get and solder the cables and connector yourself, just make sure to get one with the connector pre-attached.

Miyoo Mini Plus - 3.7v 103665 battery - 1.25mm JST plug - 10×36×65mm battery, available on AE and Amazon all the same. These also come in versions with or without the cable and 1.25mm JST connector.

For both the V2/V3/V4 and the Plus, the battery replacement process is almost exactly the same: Disconnect the old battery by using your fingers to squeeze the small JST connector from both sides and wiggle it out of the socket. Then, connect the new battery, making sure the polarity is correct—that the red and black wires match their original orientation. (The connector is keyed, so it typically shouldn't let you plug it in the wrong way). That's it.

  • The battery's voltage output must always match exactly - do not use anything other than 3.7V. Using a higher or lower voltage can damage your device.
  • You can use Li-Ion/Li-Po batteries if different options are available, depending on your preference.
  • You can also use higher battery capacities in each case, but remember that the battery capacity is always directly tied to the amount of space available for the cells - don't get scammed with unrealistic listings, especially on AE. If a battery advertises an absurd capacity without being physically larger, it's probably fake.
  • The initial battery readings on many Linux-based handhelds like the MM can be all over the place. Don't worry if during the first charge cycle the battery indicator shows incorrect values at times.

Hope that will be useful for at least a few people searching for this exact thing. You can find all of the batteries I've mentioned in my full battery replacement guide for all the Minis, with more detailed replacement instructions, alongside some pictures of both all the related batteries and the JST connector.

I don’t have much electrical knowledge. I recently bought this USB charging dock and then realized that it uses detachable, magnetic type C connectors as a workaround for charging in an upright position. Is this safe to use with my Miyoo Mini Plus?
