@EighthLayer Oh snap that looks gorgeous.

EighthLayer, 8 months ago

@yukichigai It really does!

edinburgh_man, 8 months ago

@EighthLayer I'm sure you'll have a great time with it! I got the similar Ambernic RG35XX a few months ago and love it.

EighthLayer, 8 months ago

@edinburgh_man I was considering that one as well, but decided on this one in the end. Really like it already!

edinburgh_man, 8 months ago

@EighthLayer I think they are both very similar from the limited research I did after buying mine!

EighthLayer, 8 months ago

@edinburgh_man Yeah they are practically identical with some minor differences.

pixelyduck, 8 months ago

@EighthLayer Nice! That the plus? I just ordered mine like an hour ago.. I can’t wait. It’s hard to tell from the store pages but doesn’t it come with OnionOS installed?

EighthLayer, 8 months ago

@perry_mitchell Yeah it is the plus.

No it doesn't come with OnionOS pre-installed (at least where I got it from anyway). It's quite easy to install though. Just need a freshly FAT32 formatted micro SD card, download the OnionOS files and extract them to the SD card. Pop it in the Mini+, turn it on and let it install.

I found this video very helpful.

@EighthLayer I see.. thanks! I’ll be doing that straight away. I’ll be following your use of it until I get mine in a month 🫠✌️

EighthLayer, 8 months ago

@perry_mitchell A month?! I purchased and received mine in 3 days.

Where’d you get it from?

EighthLayer, 8 months ago

First game to play was obvious to me. #SonicTheHedgehog was the first video game I ever played.

@EighthLayer Looks like a good quality screen!

BlueBlasphemy, 8 months ago

@EighthLayer That looks really sharp. Gettin jelly!

EighthLayer, 8 months ago

@BlueBlasphemy Yeah it’s a decent screen!

BlueBlasphemy, 8 months ago

@EighthLayer How does it respond to Sonic speed? Any blurring or tearing or redraw issues?

EighthLayer, 8 months ago

@BlueBlasphemy Can’t say I’ve noticed anything. In the process of transferring a ton of roms onto it so I’ll let you know a bit later. 👍

EighthLayer, 8 months ago

@BlueBlasphemy It looks fine. Can’t see any tearing or burring etc. Runs at 60 fps.

BlueBlasphemy, 8 months ago

@EighthLayer Good. That’s really great to hear. Excellent!

civfanatics, 8 months ago

@EighthLayer on a Gameboy? Oh, the blasphemy ^^.

EighthLayer, 8 months ago

@civfanatics Oh it's not a Game Boy, although it does play Game Boy games!

It's a Miyoo Mini Plus. It can play games on the NES, SNES, Game Boy, GB Colour, GB Advance, Sega Megadrive/Genesis, ZX Spectrum, PS1 and many more.

triadne, 8 months ago

@EighthLayer my number 1 criteria for these things is, does it display the games in native resolution? It looks really nice anyway.

EighthLayer, 8 months ago

@triadne It’s got a 640x480 resolution. Believe the PS1 is native. Everything else would likely be upscaled.
