This page describes the supported emulators and rom formats for each system.
Verified systems are marked with ✔
These are found in the "Verified" section of Package Manager, and will be installed in the Games tab. |
Experimental systems are marked with ⚠
These are found in the "Expert" section of Package Manager and will be installed in the Expert tab (hidden by default). The Expert tab can be accessed by installing the Expert shortcut or by enabling it via Apps › Tweaks › User interface › Show expert mode . Note: These may require additional learning, files and configuration by the user to get working. Some may have performance or compatibility issues, please research and refer to the libretro core documentation.

Bios files
- Bios files are essential for some systems, should be named exactly as stated and placed in
/BIOS
unless otherwise stated in the systems notes. Bios file names and extensions are case sensitive!
Rom files
- The roms on the included Miyoo Mini SD card are a mixed bag which can lead to incompatibility with some emulators. It is highly recommended to source your own roms to get the most out of the device.
- Rom folder names are case sensitive and differ in Onion vs the stock Miyoo SD card, copy your roms from system to system if coming from stock (copying the ‘Roms’ folder wholesale from the Miyoo SD card will not work).
- Subfolders can be used inside your rom folders but ONLY one level deep (i.e.
Roms/GB/Hacks
). Subfolders are not compatible with miyoogamelist.xml. - Roms (and folders) with a dollar sign (
$
) or apostrophe ('
) in the name are not supported, rename them. - If you add new roms to a system, highlight the system in the Games tab and press SELECT ›
Refresh all roms
. - To add a game to your Favorites list, highlight the game in the game list and press SELECT ›
Add to favorites
.
The details provided below are for guidance and not every emulator included in Onion has been documented.
Arcade Systems
Arcade emulation is a little more complex than your typical console emulation and includes MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) along with CPS1/2/3 (Capcom Play System), SNK Neo Geo (released both as an Arcade cabinet and Home Console), FB (Final Burn) and Daphne.
While MAME supports many classic arcade games, for best compatibility and performance, it is recommended to use the CPS and Neo Geo systems (which use dedicated & customised emulators) for those particular games and MAME (or FB) for everything else.
Both MAME and FB require your romsets to be matched exactly to the emulator version so you will need to source the recommended romsets. MAME romsets are not compatible with FB cores (and vice versa) and not every game in a full romset will be playable but the majority will be.
Arcade roms in general do not play well with save states (some will work but the majority don’t), you can disable 'auto-loading of save states' in the Retroarch menu (and save content or core overrides). For more detailed information and tips on Arcade emulation, checkout the awesome Ultimate Miyoo Mini Arcade Guide for Onion by lordelan.
Arcade (Default) ✔
Alternative emulators available in Expert - Emulator: lr-mame2003plus
- Required rom set version:
MAME 2003-Plus Reference: Full Non-Merged Romsets - Rom Folder:
ARCADE - Extensions:
.zip - Bios:
pgm.zip (for PGM games only like Knights of Valour and DoDonPachi) - Samples: Audio Samples for Mame2003Plus should be placed in the
/BIOS/mame2003-plus/samples folder
Notes MAME does not play well with save states this is a core issue and cannot be fixed. It is recommended to disable 'auto-loading of save states' in the Retroarch menu (and save core overrides). An onscreen message saying ‘This Game Will Not Work’ is MAME letting you know that the game is not emulated in the MAME version and you will not find a compatible/playable rom for that game. Current/modern versions of MAME are not compatible with the Miyoo Minis limited hardware specification which is why MAME 2003Plus has been chosen as the default. Check out the MAME overview video by RetroBreeze.

Arcade (Alternatives) ⚠
- Emulator: lr-fbalpha2012, lr-fbneo, lr-mame2000, lr-mame2003-extreme

- Extensions:
.zip .7z .bin/.cue
Notes The FB cores are a good alternative to MAME, they may not run as many games but you may find some games are more accurate in FB. FBNEO is the latest FB core and as such it has higher hardware expectations (beyond the mini for some games). While many games will run fine in FBNEO, you may see better performance (at the cost of accuracy) in FBA2012 which performs better on lower powered devices. For best game compatibility, seek out the recommended romsets above. Alternative romsets for Final Burn cores may be largely compatible (i.e. v0.2.97.24, v0.2.97.39, v0.2.97.40, v0.2.97.44).

Notes - UniBIOS can be used but v4.0 can lead to missing or corrupted audio when used with save states. Earlier UniBIOS version are OK.
- Because Neo Geo roms can come in different formats (split or non-merged), it's recommended to keep the 'neogeo.zip' bios in both the
/BIOS folder and the /Roms/NEOGEO folder to ensure best compatibility. - For best game compatibility, seek out the recommended romset above. Alternative romsets for Final Burn cores may be largely compatible (i.e. v0.2.97.24, v0.2.97.39, v0.2.97.40, v0.2.97.44).

Notes Rewind and Fast Forward capability should be disabled while playing PSX. Performance may suffer greatly otherwise. It's been reported best performance is achieved using the psxonpsp660.bin bios. Certain games (ex. Looney Tunes Sheep Rider, Jedi Power Battles and 2xtreme/espn extreme games) need to have SMC Checks disabled or games will eventually slow down and crash in the pcsx-rearmed core. Go to RetroArch Quick Menu (MENU+SELECT while in-game), select Options and toggle on (Speed Hack) Disable SMC Checks . Check out the PlayStation overview video by RetroBreeze.

SCUMMVM - Extensions:
.scummvm
Notes
For each ScummVM game folder you need to create a scummvm file with the same name (just add the .scummvm extension), and place it in the root of the rom folder (Roms/SCUMMVM ). The file must contain the game's "short name" which can be found here: https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/2.1.1/. (This requires Onion V4 and an updated ScummVM package - done via Package Manager). Example
Game folder: Roms/SCUMMVM/The Secret of Monkey Island/
ScummVM file: Roms/SCUMMVM/The Secret of Monkey Island.scummvm , contents: monkey Audio Troubleshooting
We recommend sourcing original .sou audio files for Full Throttle , The Dig and The Curse of Monkey Island to avoid audio issues (such as missing speech or dropping out).
