Miyoo Mini Plus first impressions

I got my Miyoo Mini Plus and here are my quick thoughts on it. TL;DR: I love it

My Miyoo Mini Plus is here and I already love it. Here are some bullet points:

  • The buttons feel good, the screen looks great, the speaker is much better than I expected.
  • Installing OnionOS was a breeze, setting up the emulators was fine, transferring my ROMs from my PSP was simple.
  • Getting SSH working was fun, using SSHFS to access it all from my computer was awesome to see, although it was a little slow.
  • Transferring save files was alright, I had to delete the save states generated by Miyoo Mini Plus automagically for them to be recognized, or maybe figure out how to reset a ROM is better.
  • The GBA save file format of the PSP emulator I used is .sav, the mGBAโ€™s format used by Miyoo Mini Plus is .srm, but there are online converters so it wasnโ€™t that painful.
  • The SNES file format is also .srm, but on my psp the .srm was in uppercase, but it was easy to edit that as well.
  • The GBA version of Final Fantasy VI sounds awful and runs slower, I might have to fiddle with the emulation settings, but Iโ€™ll stick to the SNES run I already had, which runs so much better than PSP.
  • Metroid Fusion, the first game I tried, ran wonderfully though.

I canโ€™t wait to play more of this tomorrow!
