2 questions from a Miyoo Mini Plus noob

2 questions from a Miyoo Mini Plus noob - Lemmy.world

Hi, I finally received my Miyoo Mini Plus yesterday, and having already had an Anbernic RG353V found most stuff intuitive / obvious enough - but there’s 2 things I haven’t figured out yet. Firstly, I’m set up with onion OS 4.2 RC on a new SD card (not the one it shipped with) and the tiny best set ROMs for 64GB cards, but whilst every other console is fine, nothing ever shows under Arcade. It says scanning, I see the number counting up, and then a second later it says “empty”. I have the verified Mame 2003 package installed from the package manager, don’t know if anyone has any ideas? Refreshing the ROMs doesn’t make any difference. The second thing is I can see that alternate cores can be downloaded from the package manager, such as Genesis Plus instead of Picodrive, but I can’t see how you would actually select which core to use once downloaded? On my Anbernic, Genesis Plus seemed smoother than Picodrive for Mega Drive/Genesis games… although maybe on the Miyoo Picodrive runs better as it’s the verified default? Thanks!

I’m remembering this specifically from a UK point of view, but definitely was the case for US TV also. In the 90s I used to watch The X Files, Strange But True?, Fortean TV, Eerie Indiana… GhostWatch was a one-off that unfortunately I missed at the time. There might be a couple of other shows I’m forgetting… But looking back it seems cool to me that mainstream TV was so into “weird” stuff back then.
