Best Realistic Game Boy & Game Boy Color Overlay - Miyoo Mini Plus

[@PhyrexTechs]

These have now been added to Onion OS 4.3 by default github.com/OnionUI/Onion/pull/1436

[@scoobydooami2]

Hi, I am new to using Miyoo Mini Plus. I do have Onion OS 4.3 installed but I do not see the GB/GBC/GBA Perfect overlays. I do see a Perfect CRT and Perfect CRT noframe under 4x3, but nothing for the GB/GBC/GBA in any of their respective overlay folders. Did they put it somewhere else from where you have yours or name it something else? I'm stumped here. Thank you in advance.

[@PhyrexTechs]

Hmm, it looks like they put them in their own folders. If you look on the left side of this link, it shows where they would be located. github.com/OnionUI/Onion/pull/1436/files I am unsure if you updated from a previous version of Onion to 4.3; that might be the reason if so. You can still manually add them using this video. It would probably work if you installed a fresh copy of 4.3; just make sure to back up your stuff if you do that.

@@PhyrexTechs Thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it.! Yes, I got my miyoo mini + from Litnxt,. One of the first things I did was do an in-place upgrade over wi-fi to 4.3. It appears that I have none of those overlays. I will try to follow the directions here to add them or reinstall 4.3 from scratch. I do have my entire card backed up, so that might be a good idea. Thanks, again.

This is simply oustanding work! (both the tutorial and overlays) what an incredible acheivement. You have a gift for doing tutorials. It was easy to follow, well filmed, and you speak clearly. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. When the DMG overlay loaded up for the first time, it did something to my brain. So beautifully well done. There is almost no reason to play on OG hardware anymore, as these overlays give a fantastic experience.

[@PhyrexTechs]

Wow! Reading things like this is the real encouragement to keep working on videos. Thank you so much for the kind words.

[@_Majoras]

thanks for the excellent tutorials! between this and the 200 doom ports the wait for my rgb30 will be like a vacation 🤣 in the past was using different filters with similar results, Dot_Matrix_3x_GB_Greenscale_Grid for dmg and Grid3x for gbc but these new overlays do look great, more defined & authentic

[@PhyrexTechs]

Thanks for the kind words. Have fun!

[@westonscampbell]

He's just made some for GBA too. Would love to see a video on those as well. :-)

[@PhyrexTechs]

Yeah, I saw he released that right after I finished the video. Wish I had waited one more day and then I could have added it to this video. But it's all good I will make another one for GBA shortly.

[@ThatGhostWizard]

Any chance there's a link to his GBA one?

[@PhyrexTechs]

Yeah, here you go. www.reddit.com/r/MiyooMini/comments/18ovuld/i_made_a_game_boy_advance_overlay/ I have not had time to make a video on it, but its should be a similar process and he has the instructions in the post.

[@ThatGhostWizard]

@@PhyrexTechs thank you! I've been having issues getting the content overrides to stay saved. User error I'm sure.

[@PhyrexTechs]

Retroarch has some confusing ways to save things. Just make sure if you are saving core settings to use Manage Core Settings and for other things use the Overrides Menu from the quick menu.

[@HumanBungle]

Ahhhh thank you!! I’ve been struggling with my settings being applied to both gb and gbc, I wanted green for original gb and colour for gbc…. Needed to go into manage core options and save there!! Thank you I was trying to work that out for a couple of hours 😂😂

[@PhyrexTechs]

Glad to help!

[@hogtrick]

Thanks for this! Wondering if there's something similar for other systems

[@PhyrexTechs]

I know there are overlays for other devices. However, I have not found any as good as this one for them yet.

[@dashmash2642]

Awesome guide thank you!

[@PhyrexTechs]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@StefanWolfrum]

Awesome!!! 🤩 Worked like a charm on my Miyoo Mini Plus running Onion OS 4.3.0. - Now here's a challenge: Because this is pure RetroArch stuff and RA runs on many other platforms I'd love to see a video for how to achieve the same on muOS running on my Anbernic RG35XX+! 😉 RA seems to be setup totally different there, no such folders you mention in your video here. So I'm currently struggling but would love to have the same effect on the 35xx+ ... Challenge accepted?

[@PhyrexTechs]

I have been working on something like this for the RGxx device group. There is not one clear winner for me like with the MMP ones. I have been trying to get a decent amount that people can choose from. So challenge accepted!!

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

For someone like me that does not like overlays what interpolation option would you recommend for the mini plus to get the most balanced pixels while still looking sharp?

[@DirkCleiren]

thanks for the video

[@FredMorgan-gb5el]

On game boy games can you change it to have color 0:55

[@PhyrexTechs]

You can set it to what it would look playing a normal Game Boy game on a Game Boy Color. It may look odd with the overlay but all you have to do is go to Core Settings and set GB Colorization to Internal instead of Custom. Then set Current category color to Multicolor or you can try others also. You can then use L2 and R2 to try the different colors

Veryyyyyyy gooooooood

[@manolobebop3096]

Thanks 😉

[@PhyrexTechs]

You're welcome!

[@filipedeataideramos]

Dot Matrix and GBC ettering should be facing the screen image:)

[@Rillant]

Is there a way to save multiple overlay presets so you can switch between different ones?

[@PhyrexTechs]

They only way I know that anything like that can be done is just with the overrides. So you can have certain overlays for specific games or systems. The only other way is just to switch them out in the overlay preset menu.

[@classicnut6655]

These are added in Onion but when I for the DMG dark horse I can’t get the color to look less yellow. I changed GB colorization to custom and it still looks yellow. In the video it changes yours to more green. Any suggestions?

[@PhyrexTechs]

Are you seeing a difference when you change to custom? If not you will want to make sure you have the custom palette file in the right location.

[@classicnut6655]

@@PhyrexTechs got it thank you

[@SPAGGET_T]

Do these overlays work the same on the miyoo mini (non-plus)

[@PhyrexTechs]

They may not be aligned properly on the non plus. You can try it to see if you notice.

[@xDizzyBx]

How is your screen so birght at 01/10?

[@PhyrexTechs]

That may just be camera trickery. I shot this with my phone and it auto adjusts brightness :\

Where u get that Nintendo Gameboy sticker?

[@Noderjohnson]

my retro arch folder dose not have overlays in it

[@PhyrexTechs]

Are you running Onion OS 4.3? Are you looking in SDcard > Retroarch > .retroarch ?

[@mojoman1175]

Hello, i really like the black borders but i hate the filters, because they make the games much darker. Is there a way to keep the borders only? Thank you

[@PhyrexTechs]

Yes, You can get them over here from Drkhrse's github github.com/drkhrse/drkhrse_miyoo_bezels/releases/tag/v1.6.6

[@mojoman1175]

@@PhyrexTechs Awesome! Can you tell me where I gotta put this folder? Never done this before

[@PhyrexTechs]

You can put them in SD>Retroarch>.retroarch>overlays You can use the Bezels folder there or make a new one if you want for DrkHrse

How to change the colorisation when its added in OS 4.3? There is no more Bios-Option-File! Please Help!

[@PhyrexTechs]

If you mean the display colors you should be able to change those from the Settings>Display. If you mean in the retroarch settings you need to set GB colorization to Custom/ External file. If you mean the file that goes into bios I think you still need download and drag that over like I did at 2:09.

[@SurveilanceXXX]

@@PhyrexTechs Setting exteral file, but the file i need to download is down.

[@PhyrexTechs]

That's odd I was just able to download it without issue. What kind of message are you getting?

[@SurveilanceXXX]

@@PhyrexTechs Oh, now i could download it ! :-) Thanks! But why there is no colorisation-bios-file on the stock Onion 4.3? The Overlays in your files are also not the same frames!

[@PhyrexTechs]

Not sure why they didn't add the bios file to Onion 4.3. Then the overlays I share with the drkhrse bezels, I combined those myself. The ones added to the 4.3 update are the original 1playerinsertcoin overlays.
