The ultimate Miyoo Mini & Plus overclocking guide running Onion OS. I cover what overclocking a Miyoo Mini means, what the risks are, show some examples, and finally tell you if I think overclocking is right for you. I also show how to deal with any issues and a bonus of increasing the overclock of the DS emulator for Miyoo Mini Plus users.
I decided to correct and re-upload this video to fix some mistakes and include a couple things I have missed. I wanted this video to live up to its name and have everything correct. I hope this does not bother anyone to get pinged again.

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.

@PhyrexTechs 4 месяца назад

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.

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.

@Basecase_ 5 месяцев назад

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

@PhyrexTechs 5 месяцев назад

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.

@Rillant 5 месяцев назад

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 5 месяцев назад

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

@clydefrosch 4 месяца назад

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 4 месяца назад

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.

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 4 месяца назад

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 3 месяца назад

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 3 месяца назад

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.

this drains more battery i assume? its worth the trade? i tested it myself, with overclock im getting like 200 fps on Fast forward mgba pokemon unbound, without it barely reached 90fps, also 300fps on snes its crazy fast lol. but i noticed the battery drains quicker?

@PhyrexTechs 15 дней назад

The drain of the battery should not be that much. 2-5% maybe? even if that. Wifi and screen brightness will have a higher impact and the speaker is the biggest drain to battery there is. Best way to preserve battery is to play with headphones.

@LatinMagician7850 14 дней назад

@@PhyrexTechs thanks! I overclocked after all

@clydefrosch 4 месяца назад

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 4 месяца назад

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"

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.

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.

@ConcasicoWoodworks 4 месяца назад

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

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.
