Make your own THEMES for the RG35xx & MiYoo Mini! [TUTORIAL]

This is the RG35xx, and it has a custom operating system called Garlic OS that is… pretty freaking awesome. And this is the miyoo mini, and it also has a custom operating system called onion os that is equally pretty freaking awesome. And you might have heard that you can download and install custom skins for both garlic AND onion OS. I made one, a skin, and I’ll show you how to install it, but I wanted to show you how YOU can make your own skin. Your own freaking skin, just for you. WOW! Lucky you.

[@svcross-do]

Dude, thank you for making this video. I'm having a terrible day (and week) tbh. I'm not going to go into details, but remind yourself to check your heart and health. Having your videos as background or to distract myself helps quite a lot. Thank you.

[@TechDweeb]

Sorry to hear buddy. I've had my share of medical scares, never fun to have health stuff looming over you.

[@japyoo2248]

But did you die?

[@svcross-do]

@@japyoo2248 AFAIK, most definitely maybe.

[@Bigska]

Sorry, Tech Dweeb you were right.

[@GameTechTalk]

You really have your aesthetic and style down do a T, it's so cohesive, one of the most I've seen in recent in recent years. Great video and great skin!

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks for saying so!

[@PjetDevjet]

Great video! Congratulations on the skin. When making a theme for a Miyoo Mini, I highly recommend downloading and using the theme viewer. Its a great tool to check your work before committing to loading it on your SD card.

[@LoiTran0710]

You are such a genius man, the way you made a new skin in a blink is mind-blowing to me 🤧

[@50suto]

Thanks a bunch. I just got my RG35XX today and I already want to make my own theme. This is very helpful! Good luck with your channel!!!

[@TechDweeb]

TY!

[@flyestnihilist9105]

This might be a bit of a strange comment but theres an endless amount of review/informative niche tech channels out there, but I stumbled across yours trying to learn how to customize my RG35XX, and theres just something fun and entertaining about your videos and your personality that makes them so easy to watch and pay attention to. Thanks for being unique in an ocean of same-y content creators.

[@TechDweeb]

Not strange at all, thanks so much for saying so!

[@Mystery_Tramp]

Love your vids man. Really useful, really entertaining and great production - your channel deserves to grow huge!

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks buddy!

[@wizzel22]

Offtopic Tip: You can use a PNG Optimizer on your scraped Boxart/Screenshots. That makes browsing your game collection a little faster.

[@frenzis81]

Amazing tutorial my friend!!very very useful! it's great to be able to customize the garlic os !!

[@lesterparedes8358]

TD, you do realize that I am here because I enjoy wasting time with your work? Like, I look forward to every video. I don't even care about graphics cards or pc builds in general, but I still watch each video you put out. Cuz I like you.

[@TechDweeb]

Aw thanks for saying so buddy! That warms my cold heart.

[@fabiosaldanha2326]

Sorry for your feelings! i'm cheering for your hapiness playing retro games and waiting my RG35xx! Your content and custom theme is so fun and cute, i hope you could be like that too!

[@poemsbypoetry]

That's one of the coolest skins I've seen for it!

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks!

[@Trustyfilms]

I did one for my Miyoo a while ago and although I finished the skin, I haven't even gotten half way through all those system icons. Your set looks absolutely beautiful though!

[@pac-kikin]

Another great video by Techdweeb!

[@pac-kikin]

I would love to get one of these and get the Pac-Man theme for this OS!

[@theblowupdollsmusic]

Your skin is really awesome. Thank you for sharing it.

[@dora3605]

The purple one looks so cool!

[@Bendilin]

Changing the boot logo reminds me of the Persona 3 theme I had for my Windows 7 build, it was like I was logging into a Gekkoukan High School computer with even the Iwatodai Dorm theme softly playing in the background. It was beautiful. And then my computer updated to Windows 10.

[@HellHatch666]

I love the Skin!! Great job and thanks for making it free!!!!

[@thaumatomane]

This is fantastically useful! Thank you so much! Just one question: how do I change where things are placed? For example, if I have a background I want to use with art on its extreme right upper corner and do not want to obscure it, how can I shift the placement of the time and battery to the left?

[@mattgibson2197]

Great video. Is that purple theme in there as well? I really dig the one you made in the video. Super informative and entertaining video as always.

[@newdrone1277]

This is awesome!! Thank you!

[@davidlayton6976]

Hey man thanks so much in about to be getting a rg35xx I'm excited about it and I really needed this its awesome I'm about to be so busy with a nice sd card for awhile after october hopefully

[@TechDweeb]

Nice! Enjoy!

[@whanethewhip]

Thanks for the video. Been working on my own theme and so far it's working out with one exception. The wifi indicator is in the way of the battery life indicator. Is there a way to move elements so that I can move the wifi icon?

[@KudoYoung]

Saving this for a day I don't want to be lazy

[@cranmoot3811]

“Never send a bunny to do a duck's job.”

[@TechDweeb]

That's poetic 🧐

[@Bendilin]

I haven't made a custom skin since I got my EZFlash, which I bought just to play the fan translated Mother 3 on an actual GameBoy Advance. For whatever reason, it was Star Wars Episode III themed. I changed it to EarthBound sprites and scenes.

[@Niborino9409]

Great tutorial! I'm not going to try but if I would want to I can with this tutorial! 😃

[@GamesDean88]

Damn. Just when I think I'm done......they pull me back in again! Seriously, now I'm going to have to make my own theme. Even though the mgs theme looks amazing, I think I'll have to try my hand at a resident evil theme. It's a great guide, as always.

[@TechDweeb]

Do it!

[@jackdoobie]

I'm making one with a background of my butt right now... tech is awesome... what a time to be alive.

[@driftwood9705]

Tech dweeb, I really like your KZbin show. If you made an orange 3XL shirt with your Cartoon self with the glasses, the one you normally put up in your little skits and it saying “Tech Dweeb”. I would definitely buy one.

[@TechDweeb]

I love that idea!

[@xisackx]

What setting repositions the font on the home screen? I would like to bring it up a bit but cant figure it out..

[@Heliocentricity]

i wanna see a gnome os one like the multiplayer portal in gw2

[@MylesC1234]

Heard the voice and was like the heck. Then I saw the channel name and I was like oh cool. Nice vid

[@o6se7en6o]

Hey, great video. I’m having some issue with the background.png when I load it shows but the image is chopped and doesn’t go down to the bottom of the screen. Any ideas?

[@TheEzequielchino]

Hey man nice video and theme!! Im just trying to make my own and I want to delete de titles of the icons FAVORITES RETROARCH ETC and cant seem to make them gone! Do u happen to know how to do that? I just want to put an image. Thanks in advance!!

[@posh_pancakes]

You're my hero 💕

[@ZooDSSfirst]

Thank you so much!

[@Nighteye88]

I want to be able to switch the fonts on any of these themes to Japanese is there a way I could do just that to them? thanks! (meant to say I'm using onion os on miyoo mini + too lol)

[@Davidhodges93]

Which one do I edit to change just the text color?

[@chrisgonzales2747]

awwwh you showing boot 👢 🤣 spoke to soon thank you 😊 🙏

[@vickturorteez]

Has garlic OS updated its performance issues it had from before like arcade games not working great?

[@TechDweeb]

Yeah it's better!

[@MrBaracu]

What is the purple skin with the cat toys or whatever it is?

[@darkmasterch1ef346]

Love your Skin. Is there a Purple Version out there?

[@SageNoodleVT]

Sorry if I missed it but do you have a techdweeb custom boot logo? I'm loving the skin so would love to totally theme my RG35XX

[@TechDweeb]

Yup! It's in the archive, check the video section at 18:11 for how to install it.

[@SageNoodleVT]

@@TechDweeb thanks so much 😊

[@manuelrodriguez9972]

Is there a way to add background music to the menu?

[@goboking285]

so can you add background music with a custom skin????? and if so how

[@FilthyBeans]

Is there any way to move or remove the recent, favorites, etc. text from the menu?

[@TechDweeb]

Not that I know of, but there might be a way. I'd ask in the Retro Handhelds discord server, there's a ton of helpful people there.

[@Zeriaq]

Cant seem to find the download link for the amazing tech dweeb garlic os skin :(

[@TechDweeb]

Doh! Link is added.

how you scrape on Rg35xx and how do custom boot file on this system 🤔 😳

Of all the Retro Consoles, which one has the best PS1 and GameCube emulation with the most PlayStation and Nintendo games without being a total Rom Dump?

it not working I have winrar for my zip and I use photopea it still doesn't work noooo! any suggestions 🤔?

Can you make a FSU one

[@sonicrichardsrb]

when i changed the skin the games nolonger boot and the screen starts flickering

[@Andy-js5jy]

please update new icons for new nds and new apps from Onion OS v4.30

[@Stiles_Verse]

Does this work for RG35XXH? O:

[@2fat4kidnap]

Anyone got any idea how to add sounds? I'd like to add a click sound as i move through the menus.

[@TechDweeb]

Never heard about that, but the best place to ask for advanced advice is the Retro Handhelds discord. discord.com/invite/retrohandhelds

[@2fat4kidnap]

@@TechDweeb Thanks for your advice. Great video too, keep up the good work!

[@mariellechico3805]

I really love the orange skin you made but the games won't launch whenever I use it :(

[@TechDweeb]

Really? That's very strange. The skin shouldn't affect game launching in any way. Do you know which version of Garlic You're using?

[@mariellechico3805]

@@TechDweeb I’m using 1.3.2

[@mariellechico3805]

@@TechDweeb works fine now, mate! There's just a file that I need to copy from the Garlic OS folder (because of the update). Fantastic skin!

Show us how to use a mini retro handheld as a conversation starter... for everybody. Making friends at college, striking up a discussion with the elderly in a slow grocery or bank line, that irate driver in the vehicle next to you who angerly wants you to roll down your window for a spontaneous argument...

[@TechDweeb]

I love that idea! 🤣

[@joshuadickey1776]

Awesome thank you so much. But I have to say it the SD card and SD card reader that comes with the miyoo mini plus are disturbingly unreliable highly recommend to everyone that purchases the product day-one transfer all files that you want and trash the SD card and SD card reader.

[@jugobernal]

Batocera guide for rg35xx please

I tried it last night. It's not ready for prime time yet. It works but it's got lots of glitches. I'll wait till it's further along in development.
