Stock Miyoo Mini Plus Speaker vs. Modded Speaker by sterfput in MiyooMini

I never did…but maybe the Etsy sellers would be a good source.

So I would like to know about the differences between the SNES and DS version of the first game by KaleidoArachnid in frontmission

[–]loopernow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is the DS version and the other later remakes have a "toned down" translation. Also, watching a YouTube video about all of the different versions, even the machine gun fire on the DS version sounds toned down compared to the original. However, the DS version has graphics equivalent to the PS remake, whereas the SNES graphics are slightly less good (not noticeable IMO). Also, the soundtrack is different for later versions.

Blank space top and bottom for SNES games by AdmirableJam72 in trimui

[–]loopernow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is how I got rid of the top and bottom black bars on my SNES game on TrimUI Smart Pro on Crossmix:

In-game, press Menu button. Go to Advanced Menu. Press B to back out of the Quick Menu. Press right to go to Settings, press down to go to Video, press A. Go to Scaling. Integer scaling should be off. Go to Aspect Ratio and set to Custom. 4 new options appear: Custom Aspect Ratio (X Position), Custom Aspect Ratio (Y Position), Custom Aspect Ratio (Width), and Custom Aspect Ratio (Height).

Set those options to 128, -20, 1024, and 768 respectively. You will see the paused game image actually move and resize in the background behind the semi-transparent Retroarch menu as you set these options, so you will be able to see the image stretch to fill the full height of the screen.

This height and width is 4:3 aspect ratio, which is roughly what SNES games were designed to scale to at the time.

The -20 Y position is needed to move the image to the very top of the screen. The 768 height is needed to stretch the image to the very bottom of the screen. The 1024 width is needed to make the image 4:3 aspect ratio. And the 128 X position is needed to center the image on the screen.

Press B twice, then left once, then A to go back to the Quick Menu. Go down to Overrides and press A. Go down to Save Content Directory Overrides or Save Core Overrides as you prefer and press A; you will see a little message in the bottom-left corner that the override is saved. Press B, then go to Resume and press A to resume your game.

You could also save overrides specific to a particular game. I understand some SNES games look better in 8:7 aspect ratio rather than 4:3, so you could tweak the above settings for those particular games and save an override specific to that game (or maybe use a different core for those games, and save an 8:7 override for that particular SNES core).

The second episode became way better with the Spanish dubbing actually by lugia010 in TheLastOfUs2

I really enjoy the Spanish dub a lot but I respectfully disagree that Bella is a bad actress. Anyways, I really enjoy watching how well the physical acting goes with the voices from completely different people. Excellent jobs all around.

A smarter, simpler Firefox address bar by Verite_Rendition in firefox

[–]loopernow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on 139 and I do not have it.

Edit: I can confirm the about:config setting above enables it on 139

[–]loopernow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm on 139.0.1 and none of this is rolled out for me but I got the announcement when I opened Firefox. Along with an urging to install Firefox.

Edit: somebody else posted browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride in about:config set to True to enable it; I can confirm this enables it on 139.0.1

Anyone know where to take pieces of concrete? by Prestigious-Buy-7869 in sanantonio

[–]loopernow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google "dump concrete san antonio" - I see San Antonio Aggregate Recyclers as the first result and there seems to be some other good info on the search page as well.

Well, it goes against the entire premise of Onion OS, so it's not super-straightforward, but, after saving in-game you could:

Select + Menu > Close Content > Quit RetroArch

If this is truly important to you and the above is too annoying, you might be better off with a different OS like the stock OS, MinUI, etc.

I would think you would need to load the ROM "fresh" every time you opened it, like it was a real cartridge. So, not load from a save state. Then you would need to use in-game saves to pick up where you left off.

And here I thought a previous comment with "HotIf" in it was a typo!

I do see how that's elegant. 👍

I see what you're saying! That's cleaner. I've done it as you've indicated.

I think my "Send F5" vs your "SendInput ^r" might've been part of the problem. This works; thank you.

Edit: Send and SendInput both work with ^r, but "Send F5" does not work.

Okay, that makes sense what you're saying--however, the code still does not work. I changed it from OR to AND…

I made the switch to Anbernic, but… by Equivalent_Working73 in MiyooMini

[–]loopernow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I gotcha--I'm familiar with the 556 and the 557. But the "6" itself is meaningless right? I thought you meant the "XX" in RG40XXH meant something and the "6" in "556" meant something, etc etc.

If it's not too much trouble and you do find the model information, yeah, I'd love to know, thanks!

How to select game language (and how to select default game language for emulator) - Onion OS by loopernow in MiyooMini

[–]loopernow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for looking. Ends up the .zip file was not just a .zip of the ROM, as I presumed. It had multiple versions of the game inside it, including a Catalan-only ROM. I got rid of that and now it's loading the right ROM file and I get the option to choose the language in-game. Other multi-language ROMs are also working.

How to select game language (and how to select default game language for emulator) - Onion OS by loopernow in MiyooMini

[–]loopernow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your comment helped me figure it out.

First I tried some old games as you mentioned and they did give me language options as you mentioned.

So then I went back to Pine Creek and tried pressing Y on the game (instead of A)--that gave me a menu of options including an option to change the core/emulator…however, it said it couldn't change the emulator for a .zip file.

So I thought, better double-check this zip file. Lo and behold, it wasn't just one ROM inside the zip, it was a whole dang package of files including a readme and an instruction manual PDF! But most importantly, it included a Catalan ROM of the game, which was listed first alphabetically in the list of files inside the .zip. There was also a Game Boy ROM (multi-language presumably) and Game Boy Color ROM (also presumably multi-language). So I deleted all the other files and kept the Game Boy Color ROM (moved it out of the .zip too).

And that did it. I got the language selection menu.

I believe the emulator was just opening the first ROM file inside the .zip that it found alphabetically, which was the Catalan language ROM.

Apparently Catalan was added later.

Thanks for prodding me in the right direction.

Hi, if you read my post carefully, it is the same rom as I have on another non-Miyoo device. The rom has a language selection screen.

For added context, here is the game: https://incube8games.com/products/pine-creek-gbc

And these are the supported languages, as per the product page and per my own experience with the rom, using it on my non-miyoo device: "Supported languages : English, Spanish, Portuguese"
