Ultimate Overclock Guide - Miyoo Mini & Plus - Onion OS

[@aMaxxdom-eb5b]

Take note guys there is stable onion os 4.3 update you need to redo the typing overclock method for this

[@PhyrexTechs]

This is correct. After updating you will have to go in and recreate your cpuclock.txt file

[@SchmurtzAlex]

Great to have more visibility on this feature. We will try to make an overlay in the future to be able to overclock on the fly (may be in Onion 4.4.0)

[@PhyrexTechs]

That would be great! Thanks for everything you do!

[@zwallop]

I followed your guide a few days ago and loved how much smoother PS1 games played, so thank you! I just installed the new stable 4.3 version of Onion and my clock speed reverted back to 1200. The file is still there, it just doesn't seem to do anything. Hopefully it'll work again in a future update.

[@PhyrexTechs]

It should still be active if the file is there. If you are looking at the clock speed in "About this device" you will only see 1200MHz as the overclock only goes into effect when RetroArch launches when you start running a game.

[@zwallop]

@@PhyrexTechs Yeah, my bad. I saw the clock speed there and freaked. Sorry. :)

[@PhyrexTechs]

No problem! That tripped me up the first time I saw it.

[@Ziko577]

Thanks for this video. I was going crazy thinking it was the device running the games badly when it was just poor CPU handling. I can play arcade games at the speed they should be thanks to this. Hopefully, 4.4.0 will allow a setting to do this other than having to create and copy a small file to the emulators that need it. So far, only FBNeo seems to benefit from this. I also will test it for Superfaust too.

[@Basecase_]

Have you done a comparison on battery life when using the base clock and over clocked cpus?

[@PhyrexTechs]

In the description you can see Schmurtz has posted his findings on the test for that. 1200MHz 1100mV 0.239A 1.166W 2000MHz 1100mV 0.246A 1.199W So an increase of .01A which to me is negligible.

[@PhyrexTechs]

Thanks! Yeah I also use snes9x for retro achievements.

[@Rillant]

Thanks a lot for the video! I think this will (slightly) boost the performance of the NDS games. I added the txt file to te RetroArch folder. Does this override all CPU settings for all emulators? For example, when i booted up drasted and went into the menu, it was still on 1500 MHz, even though the cpuclock.txt notes 1800. I also couldn't go any higher than 1600 in the Drastic menu, unlike you showed in the video.

[@PhyrexTechs]

Drastic is the on system that, by default, has its own overclock file. You will need to edit the file I show at 6:35 to be able to go over the base 1500 OC. Also something I just learned is you can change the default OC for DraStic by editing this file. SDcard > Emu > NDS > launch.sh edit this file and go to the bottom and you should see if [ "$CUST_CPUCLOCK" == "1" ]; then cpuclock 1500 fi Just change the 1500 to what you want and save the file

[@ionutz3d]

Yesterday my new Miyoo Mini v4 arrived and I installed the latest Onion OS (Onion-v4.3.1-1). I checked in About device and the CPU frequency shows 1600MHz already. The overclock is still need in this case?

[@PhyrexTechs]

If that setting is displaying correctly, which idk why it wouldn't, they may have increased the frequency that it ships with. If so then you should not have to overclock. I have not tested the v4 so I can't be of much help with that.

[@ionutz3d]

@@PhyrexTechs I think it's a Onion OS setting that does this in the latest version. With the default SD card that came with the console it is set at 1200MHz if I remember correctly.

[@therealeugenius]

Is there any other way the Miyoo Mini + can confirm the CPU overclocking other than via games? I just followed the steps for overclocking, but when I popped my card back in the Miyoo the CPU clock speed is still at the base 1200mhz in the 'About device' section. My wife's Miyoo Mini I just got her came clocked at 1600mhz out the box according to the 'About device' section, so that's why I'm a little concerned that info hasn't gotten updated. I liked the video btw, I thought it was very informative and easy to understand. Thank you.

[@PhyrexTechs]

As of right now, not that I know of. Since the overclock will only go into effect after retroarch is launched and is not overclocking when at the main menu. In the future they will have a UI setting for overclocking and it will be easily viewable

[@therealeugenius]

@@PhyrexTechs Thanks for clearing that up🍻

[@justchan2443]

even though gpsp got better, it's nice I can play my GBA library with good accuracy on the go. With color correction and overlays, imo, its a better way to play GBA compared to using orginal or modded gba. Edit: forgot to mention, you can use more accurate audio settings on PS1 emulation without any performance drops.

[@PhyrexTechs]

Yeah, I agree!. Also thanks for the tip with the accurate audio!

[@jorgefelicio1621]

How did you change the font size in retroarch menu?

[@3ik3ik]

When you create the file name it cpuclock not cpuclock.txt windows automatically will add the .txt part, in tutorial on screen you can see 1 1800 just wright 1800 nothing more . To test if its working (in any game maybe check two for peace of mind) press menu + X (looks like H to me) this will turn on the fps counter then press menu + R1 this will turn on fast forward fps will explode... the fast forward number will be easy to compare with or without the overclock. Guess you should check fps number before the overclock if you don't want to fap about.

[@jorgefelicio1621]

With drastic it shows the numbers on the menu but it doesn't improve the performance at all, even when I set the clock at 1800. Do you have any Idea of what maybe wrong?

[@clydefrosch]

on a different topic, having overclocked drastic to 1900, when turning off frame skip (type = none), the emulator seems to overshoot gamespeed, instead of sticking to 100%, i.e. in the save room in castlevania, i'm getting 160% speed. same when setting a consistent manual frameskip, though its only at 110% theres a speed override option, but unfortunately, it only has 50% and 150% and above as options and doesnt seem to pin fps down either. it doesnt matter too much because without frameskip, the game does slow down more again, but its crazy how much variation there is in speed between different screens

[@PhyrexTechs]

Yeah I was just messing with it and it looks like that when you have frameskip set to automatic it tries to hold 100% but auto and manual will not.

[@Torchim49]

I couldn't find out how to make a new text file on the miyoo mini so i jus renamed the readme.txt to cpuclock.txt and changed the text inside

[@PhyrexTechs]

Nice! Good workaround.

[@focust13]

Would this change reflect in the about device section in settings? It still says 1200MHz next to CPU frequency.

[@BsetXOXO]

When in the About Device menu from within the Settings are the overclocks not being reflected there? I've set it to 1800 but inside the about device it says the CPU frequency is still 1200. Any idea what is happening there?

[@PhyrexTechs]

So that is because we are essentially only overclocking Retroarch, so while in the main menu it is running at the base clock rate. Then when you launch a game it will bump up the clock rate. This will be more easily viewable when they add the overclock option in the settings menu.

[@Opti-Miser]

My problem now is that Pokemon White 2 is now running at like 100-120% speed and is constantly fluctuating so it sounds and feels horrible, any way to keep the emulation speed locked at 100% ?

[@chrispember172]

why is there a number 1 before the clock speed in notepad? do I have to do that? how do i know if it worked?

[@PhyrexTechs]

You don't have to worry about that number. That is part of the text editor I'm using and it just means that is the first line of the file. I wish there was a better way to confirm it's working and there will be in the future when they add overclocking to the settings menu but until then they bast way to confirm is : Toggle the fps (menu button + X) Toggle fast forward (menu button + R2) Write down fps Do this with the same game with and without the text file on the SD card and compare numbers. If you are getting more fps with the file then the overclock is working.

[@_kardus]

How would you compare the Miyoo Mini Plus (specifically running the latest Onion) vs RG35XX Plus with those firmware options? Onion seems like the better UX but isn't the 35xx plus technically a better quality build and so on?

[@PhyrexTechs]

You are right that Onion OS is the better UX. But the RG35XX P/H is more powerful with what feels like better quality. If this is going to be your only device and you want to be able to play some Dreamcast, PSP and N64. Then I would get the RG35XX Plus or H. Overtime the UX should start to catch up with the MMP. If you want something smaller, only want to play up to PS1/GBA games, and want the best UX and community right now then MMP is the way to go.

[@GiriGagan]

some kind of a passive heatsink would allow for better overclocking? any ideas? I will see what I can dig up in the parts bin...

[@PhyrexTechs]

I'm not sure it would be, as I don't really see a huge increase in heat generation. However if you were to increase the voltage along with the clock speed then that might be something that could let you push it farther.

To change the default you will have to edit the launch.sh file. I only learned about this after I made the video or I would have added it. Navigate to: SDcard > Emu > NDS > launch.sh edit this file and go to the bottom and you should see if [ "$CUST_CPUCLOCK" == "1" ]; then cpuclock 1500 fi Just change the 1500 to what you want and save the file.

[@clydefrosch]

i might have missed it in the video, but does just globally putting in overclock drain the battery faster in emulators that dont need overclocking (at least while not fast forwarding?) because in that case, I'd definitely only do it on a core by core basis

[@PhyrexTechs]

My understanding of the testing results is that the battery drain increases is negligible. 1200MHz 1100mV 0.239A 1.166W 2000MHz 1100mV 0.246A 1.199W So a .007A increases. The things to really look at to decrease battery drain are wifi, screen brightness and surprisingly the speaker, which drains it the most. As stated here "it is the built-in speaker that affects power consumption the most, and in fact, the headphones are the most effective for making the battery last longer"

[@PhyrexTechs]

Add the cpuclock.txt file to this location: SDcard/Saves/CurrentProfile/config/{Core folder} Core folder= whatever PS1 core you use This will override the overclock file in the RetroArch folder for that one core.

[@J.C.2.5]

Can an over clocked mini plus run all ps1 games at enhanced resolution at stable frame rates?

[@PhyrexTechs]

I would answer with a hesitant yes. You may still get some slow downs in the most demanding games like Legacy of Kain:SR, but for the most part everything is smooth that I tried. There may still be games you run into lag that were just not optimized well. The slowdowns are not because of the MIyooMini, but with the game coding and would also happen on the original system.

@@PhyrexTechs Thank you! I hope there is some success. It would be nice to just do that on the games that are struggling

[@PhyrexTechs]

I tired for a bit and there does not seem to be a great way of doing this. They one way I thought of was duplicating a core, renaming it, then overclocking just that core. Turned into quite a mess pretty quickly and just not worth having to do it for each game you would want OCed. Maybe if someone else comes up with a better idea they can share it.

i made a txt file in retroarch and typed 1800, nothing happened when i put the card back in though, same performance. can i check somewhere if it changed? if i go to about device it says 1200mhz but maybe thatrs just a standard txt of the miyoo?

[@PhyrexTechs]

Yeah, because we are basically just overclocking Retroarch, it will not show in the main menu. The best way to make sure it is working is by using fast forward while displaying FPS and comparing the results with and without the file.

Or is it seperate because retroarch and drastic are two seperate emulators? - Is there any downisde of not going to each emulator one by one and changing the clock rate for each? It's just better to do the one clockcpu.txt file, right?

[@PhyrexTechs]

You are correct. You have to do NDS separately because it is drastic. I think it's better to just overclock them all with one setting. If you run into any issues with a specific one you can go make a file for just that core but I have yet to run into issues after finding a stable clockspeed

@@PhyrexTechs thanks I think I will do 1800 and go down a 100 if anything goes wrong. If it does, is it immediately obvious? Also when i make the txt file in retroarch (the one that effects all the emulators), does it also effect the ports?

[@Dadflaps]

I'm a bit confused, I don't know much about this device but it can't do GBA or old arcade games on Finalburn without issues at stock? What is this device supposed to be for?

It handles most games for those systems without much issues. However, there are some games it can't keep up with at stock. There are a lot of other devices that are more powerful, but they are either larger in size or lack the community support for the custom operating system.

[@lowammo]

Is overclocking necessary for the mini plus?

I would not say it is required. You could probably play 90% of games without issues at the stock clock. For games where it struggles it can really help, mostly GBA (when using overlays), Arcade, and some ports. It does give better fast-forwarding if that is something that matters to you. For DS I would say it is required but you don't have to do anything for that as they have built in the overclocking to the DraSic DS emulator for it.

@@PhyrexTechs Could you please explain what games would be a problem? I'm looking at buying one soon

[@PhyrexTechs]

@@dylanhile358 I would not be able to give you a full list. The ones I show in the video are ones that I have personally had issues with. When you get one I would suggest you just play on it normally and if you run into any games that you notice are not running full speed or if you need more fast-forward speed, you can try it with an overclock.

​@@PhyrexTechsThanks for the advice! I don't have a computer, so I was wondering what the limits were

[@PhyrexTechs]

@@dylanhile358 Well you don't have to have a computer to connect to overclock. You can connect with your phone: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZKleJx4nr2Vras. You will need access to a computer to install Onion OS or you can buy a SD card with Onion OS preinstalled.

What other legit sources can I buy this from other than Amazon and Ali express? Amazon is taxing.

[@PhyrexTechs]

There are probably other options but Keep Retro is the only other place that I have used and trust. www.keepretro.com/products/miyoo-mini-plus Expect a a shipping time of about 2 weeks with them

[@nonamenoname6784]

my fps is capped at 60 can someone help?

[@PhyrexTechs]

Fps will be capped at 60 unless fast-forwarding.

Wow, just a text file to OC. This sounds like an April fool's joke.

[@PhyrexTechs]

Yeah, super simple. I think next update they should be adding an option to do this in the settings.

To much work..ill stick to the game boy games, have to re download all my stuff bc it froze and now it wont do anything even tried deleting

[@matheusfreitas5610]

The mGBA core os awful. Just change to gpSP, no need for overclock

[@PhyrexTechs]

gpSP is definitely faster and probably a better choice most of the time but not as accurate.Most of the time that is not a problem but it may cause issues with some games. It used to be worse but with it's semi recent updates gpSP is a lot better now.
