Another thing that made the Miyoo Mini such a popular gaming device was the community behind it who actually created a custom operating system for it called OnionOS. Powerful Performance: The Miyoo Mini Plus+ boasts a dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, ensuring smooth and lag-free gameplay for a superior retro gaming experience compared to other comparable products.
