I just want to thank you so much for this. I received my device a few days ago and wanted to remove a few ROM. Doing that somehow broke the whole thing. It wouldn't boot up. It's been so stressful trying to get it to work again. I finally did by following this tutorial. I really appreciate it. God bless you.
Hey guys! I need help, i followed the instructions from the video but somehow after the boot "installing MinUi" it goes back to the stock os. I am using a brandnew 64gb sandisk memcard, not sure what I did do wrong. Please help!!! Thanks
At 6:55 where you copy from the extras folder to the ROMSs partition, what's happening to the folders with the same name? Are they combined? Does one overwrite the other? Seems like there should have been some "Overwrite? Yes/No" prompts at that step but I didn't see one. Thanks for walking me through this!
The contents of the extras zip is basically additional emulators that are not included with the base MinUI package. So it is just combining the contents of the folders. Nothing should be overwritten.
I'm in love with the Anbernic. However, I bought it to have a 2 in 1 experience (because of the mini HDMI output) and MinUI and the Stock OS are much better for that purpose, specially because of the possibility to configure the ratio of the output video (unable/more dificilt on Koriki or GarlicOS). in the end, between GarlicOS and MinUI I would stick to MinUI hands down if it wasn't a lack of Favorites/ Searcher and some consoles like Neo Geo. Until they launch that on MinUI I would have to stay on Garlic for now. Excellent tutorial! Hopefully they add those features any soon Edit: I tried FinUI that added Favorites but sacrificed the controller and HDMI Output use
@@harveysmith6636 I no longer have the anbernic, but As far as I remember, first time I instaled MinUI, it had the hdmi output. Then I reinstalled it and happened the logo thing. So I'm afraid I can't say which version had the feature :(
@MatusaiHimura Yeah I figured out which version eventually, but sadly it only works for the original batch of 35xxs, so I just went with garlic in the end.
It can be done on GarlicOS. There's more info about it on the OnionOS page, which will work the same on GarlicOS: github.com/OnionUI/Onion/wiki/Emulators#commodore---amiga--amiga-cd32--
Is there any way I can increase the speed of fastforward? Because it natively limits you to 8x, but it is very slow, especially for pokemon games. are there any changes i can make to the files for this?
If you set the Max FF speed to "none" it removes the limit on the fast forward speed and will go as fast as the hardware will allow. Also, if you set the CPU speed to "performance," you might get a little extra oomph as well.
Hi im wondering but i currently have 2 sd cards one for the os and one for roms. Is it possible to install miniui on another sd card and just switch between garlic and mini while still having my roms and saves?
Nice guide 😁👍 Just got mine and install MinUi, it's working well, so simple and clean. Btw, does it support multi disk ps1 games? (like FF7-9, RE2, Legend of Dragoon, ... etc.), and how can we change disk?
hello bro maybe my english is not that good but from what i understand you like this MinUI system more than GarlicOs, it is much easier to use MinUI without the need for retroarch, I will install this system on a new micro sd to do the tests, what I do not capture very well is the matter of the bios, they are already installing for each console in the bios folder, I hope you help me with my query, regarding bios, thank you very much for the video, I hope in the future I can install themes to this MinUI system
Hello my friend! You're English is good :) I like MinUI just a little more than GarlicOS, but they are both excellent! The BIOS files are not included in MinUI, so you need to install them. The MinUI developer recommends you have these BIOS files: FC: disksys.rom GB: gb_bios.bin GBA: gba_bios.bin GBC: gbc_bios.bin PS: psxonpsp660.bin PCE: syscard3.pce PKM: bios.min SGB: sgb.bios
@@otggaming3180 There is something I don't like about GarlicOs, the longest battery life is 2 hours and 30 minutes and if they are PS games it only lasts 2 hours
@@otggaming3180 you have 1st batch battery (2100mAh)? I have the 2nd batch one (2600 mAh) and with intensive PS RPG such FFVII it last at least for 4hrs. what a massive difference for 500mAh gap. But it is an unsurprising fact that overbloated RA consumes more power more that stock OS in every chaynese retrohandheld knockoffs. You can try to strip garlic frontend and packages to the bare necessary up to only the cores you really want to play. Loading RA with all default cores provided vs loading RA with 9 cores will save you 55MB of ram usage. also, if prolonged battery life is your priority, you can disable boxart display. By having your system NOT loading images for every games will save you load time and preserve battery for more important stuff such, retrogaming. Happy gaming my friend :)
my windows 10 pc can't see the ROMS folder at all. I think this is because it's in fat32 file format at over 32gb. just realised that this is why i couldn't put roms on the stock os as well.
this is super annoying. doesn't matter how i format it or how big i make the partition, the roms partition just doesn't show up in file explorer. only the misc partition shows up. not sure if others are having the same problem.
Are you able to assign a drive letter to the ROMs partition using disk management? This is usually the most common reason for the ROMs partition not showing in File Explorer. I have a quick video on it here: ruclips.net/video/Ywa-y8f0Bso/видео.html

You have great presentation and are clear. I was intimidated going into it but everything went smooth following your steps.
FYI, there's FinUI, which is based on MinUI with the ability to have a favorites list, which I think is a really nice feature.
Nice, I hadn't heard of that yet. I will check it out. Thank you!
Wanna use finui but no artbox
MinUi is awesome!! Straight to gaming. More systems got added lately and I love it.
