Last updated: 19FEB2022 (see Changelog for details)
NOTE: There is a new Miyoo Mini v2 guide now available, with updated Onion instructions as well as a guide for installing MiniUI. I recommend using that guide instead.
When it first released last month, I was torn on the Miyoo Mini. It has a cute size, nice display resolution, and can fit in a playing card holster (a VERY important feature). But its software navigation and contrast/sharpness issues with its display left me unsatisfied. Today, we’re going to look at a new community-created OS solution called Onion, which improves the software experience, adds new systems and emulators, and incorporates recent fixes for the screen, too.
Credit for Onion goes to Jim Gray and a wonderful ragtag team of community contributors. They do not have a direct donation set up for the project, but if you are feeling generous, they requested you make a donation with the Mutual Aid Disaster Relief fund in their honor.
Onion is an active work in progress, so expect new features in the future.
To buy the Miyoo Mini, you can grab it via AliExpress or KeepRetro.com. Stock is low right now so expect shipping delays. Additionally, while the device retails for $50, some stores have marked up the price to $60 or higher; it’s going to be up to you whether you are willing to pay that premium or wait until supply better matches demand.

The Beelink SEi8 is the latest budget mini PC I’ve tested, and the third Beelink I’ve reviewed in as many months. So today let’s see how it stacks up against its more powerful companions and whether the $350 average price tag is worth it. Bottom line: it’s an excellent PC on the Linux and Batocera side, but its Windows performance was mixed.

Last updated: 10FEB2026 (see Changelog for details)
The Retroid Pocket handhelds are seemingly simple devices to set up — they run on Android, so how hard could it be? But it turns out there are some orientation quirks in setting up these handhelds; this guide is meant to take you from the very beginning of your journey with the device to the point of being a superstar.
This guide will work for a number of Retroid Pocket devices. The major difference will be the performance for each, which can be summarized in the table below. This guide will be focused on the more recent Retroid Pocket releases, with notes for some older devices/CPUs.
I have video reviews for each device on my YouTube channel, which you can find either by checking out my Retroid Pocket playlist or the embedded videos below.
Are the Retroid Pocket devices pre-loaded with games? No, the devices ship as a general Android phone or tablet, with only essential apps (Play Store, Chrome, etc.) pre-installed. You are on your own to find the emulated game files (ROMs) to play on this device. There are no links to copyrighted files on this website.
