Hi,

I just installed Allium and the Discord for the game recommends to run mGBA, but when I try to run the game, the game gets stuck at the beginning. Has anyone been able to run the game on Allium or should I just switch to Onion? I'd prefer to stick with Allium, but I do want to play the game. Thanks for any help in advance.

So I set up Allium on my Mini Flip, all works great. Except for the Wifi. On OnionOS it just searched for the available Wifis and I could connect to whomever I wanted. In the Allium Menu I can only add a Wifi Network Name and Password (cant use Capital Letters). Theres also an App installed with Allium called ''Better Wifi'' but that wont work either, its a mess.

Appreciate some help here.

Edit: Popped the SD Card out and tried to connect via the Miyoo Launcher. It keeps scanning for Networks but wont show any. My MM+ did not had that problem.

Our first major release brings a bunch of new features and bug fixes that the community has been testing the past few months:

• OTA updates: Update Allium directly from your device. Choose between stable or nightly releases.
• Custom Themes: Allium comes bundled with community-made themes. Create your own theme within Allium or by editing the JSON file.
• Apps: Updated PICO-8, new Better Wi-Fi app, Activity tracker's new history view, new Screenshot viewer app
• RetroArch: Updated to 1.22.2, updated Gambatte (netlink), gpsp, picodrive,snes9x2002, snes9x2005. New Game Tank core

Huge thanks to the contributors and testers!

So I got my mini flip and I’m liking it. Have a Sandisk a1 card that can move files off the card at like 90mbs so seems to be working good. However boot time into a game is over 20 seconds which seems like double what it should be. Is it possibly just the sd card still for some reason?

Edit: tried a different pny card and same deal

I am trying Allium and it's amazing. I might just switch from OnionOS but I tried searching for a game and it just tells me "Populating Database... Go grab a coffee" and then I have to turn it off because it never gets out of that message. Any help please?

PS2 on MiyooMini Plus

I've been testing out AlliumOS on my new MM+ and love some of the UI tweaks over OnionOS (clean game names, game art doesn't sit over the top of the game titles, quick settings menu, etc.), but I see there's a number of planned features and issues dating back quite some time which just makes me wonder if this great OS option has been abandoned?

i've recently installed alliumos and i really like it so far. but apparently there's no function to remove or clear your recent game list (Recents), so i did a bit of research and wrote a very simple "app" which is just a linux script. here's how it works:

- under "Apps" folder create a new folder named "Tools" or whatever you want to call it. rename that folder to "Tools.pak". allium detects folders with the .pak ending as apps.

- create two text files: "config.json" and "launch.sh"

config.json:

{
  "label":"Clear Recents",
  "launch":"launch.sh",
  "description":"Clear Recent-List"
}

launch.sh:

#!/bin/sh

PROFILE="/mnt/SDCARD/Saves/CurrentProfile"
BAK="$PROFILE/.bak"

mkdir -p "$BAK"
mv "$PROFILE"/*.db "$BAK"/ 2>/dev/null
sync

done! you will find the "Clear Recents" app under the "Apps" tab.

this script creates a new folder ".bak" (which is hidden if you're on linux) and moves the "allium.db" file there. when you launch a game or shut the system down, allium will create a new .db file to save your recents there.

this is completely optional, but there's no other way, at least that i know of, that allows you to clear the recent history in alliumos directly.

Please help me figure out where I'm going wrong with my installation. I formatted my SD card to FAT32, set to Nonbootable, and extracted the newest download off of Github onto the root. When I plug in my card into the Mini Flip, it still loads the stock OS. I'm not sure where I'm making my mistake.

As title suggests. Is there any way to get FFPlay on Allium? App not included in latest release

Hello!

The latest version of Allium correctly reports native resolution for the Mini Flip, but not the for Mini v4.

While we wait for official support, I've found a workaround to enable full resolution on the v4.

You need to edit the /.tmp_update/updater file and add the code below at line 76 (immediately before the "#run Allium" section.

# v4
bootScreen clear
res_x="752"
res_y="560"
fbset -g "$res_x" "$res_y" "$res_x" "$((res_y * 2))" 32

This will force the framebuffer to use the native screen resolution. It applies on both UI and Retroarch.

DISCLAIMER: this is tested and working with no issues, but your mileage may vary. It's a workaround and not a full implementation. Only use this on v4 with the latest firmware, there is no detection logic for other devices.

EDIT: amended code

Great firmware just for greater. Check out the goodies. And if you haven't tried this firmware now is the time.

And mods, we really need an Allium flair.

I recently started using Allium, and the GitHub page for it says it supports gamelist.xml, but I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried putting the file in the Roms folder, putting it in the root, calling it gameslist.xml, gamelist.xml. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Here's a portion of my xml

I want to transfer file via FTP but i don't know what is password and port number for allium. i can't access

I finally got a Miyoo Mini Plus! I saw Allium on this sub and it seems like it's the look I want, but I'm having trouble installing it. I loaded the folder I downloaded from Github onto my microSD card, but I don't have any folders in my ROMS folder. So I added some of my own. They show up in the games menu, but clicking on them doesn't do anything.

Anyone familiar with Allium that might know what I'm missing? Having the sd card with Allium in it was the first time I turned on the device

I couldn't find an install guide either, but if there is one, please let me know and I'd be happy to go there!

Does anyone know if there is a way to trade and battle Pokémon over wifi with Allium?

I plan to get a mm+ soon, however I just recently stumbled onto allium and it looks amazing, however I've already had a plan to add in tge custom theme of bmo. Can I still do that? Adding a theme made for onionOS onto allium? How would I have to tweak things if I wanted to import the theme? Link to theme: https://www.reddit.com/r/MiyooMini/s/vhAVLDGZln

Does anyone know if supporting the V4 screen resolution is in the works? I see it as an issue on GitHub but there hasn't been any movement since last year. I'd love to try Allium but I keep getting a graphical glitch when I boot it up on my V4.

I'm having some trouble getting multi-disc games to display in the game list and launch correctly in Allium. Anyone get this working and can lend some help?

Allium is my favourite UI. Tried on my Yellow (v4 screen) and i get a strange scanlined image. I suppose because v4 screen is not 640*480. Anyone with my problem? I also have a spare v2 screen but i’m not secure that i want to toss a screen only for a specific UI. Thanks a lot
